This is another interesting illustration. The ecliptic drawn against the constellation boundaries in modern celestial coordinates.
It is all too evident how the ecliptic has a very short span into the scorpio constellation, whereas the span is longer in the ophiuchus constellation.
i find this illustration very interesting. i still have a reserved opinion about the astrological signs. The influence of the objects in our solar system are much more conclusive and less susceptible to reproach. Although i will admit that the tropical zodiac has seemed much more accurate when describing personal traits.
It is difficult to put together some of the confusing differences in approaches. There is more consistency about the angular relationships between the Planets and other objects of our solar system. Thinking of Aries as being a spring sign and Scorpio an autumn sign just does not fly when you start doing charts for people living in the southern hemisphere.
One of the most confusing things to me is that the characteristics associated with Ophiuchus do apply to some things associated with my Scorpio Moon. But as you know what was once Ophiuchus has now become Scorpio or Libra if we look at it from a sidereal point of view.
