How Ancient Mythology Transforms the Zodiac You Thought You Knew
Welcome to a realm where the stars align with scales, wings, and breath of fire.
For thousands of years, astrology has helped us understand ourselves — through sun signs, moon signs, and rising signs. But beyond Aries and Pisces lies a forgotten layer of wisdom… the Dragon Signs.
These dragons aren’t fantasy. They’re rooted in ancient mythologies — from Mesopotamian serpent gods to Japanese sea dragons. And when paired with your zodiac sign, they reveal spiritual powers, challenges, and purpose you never knew you had.
Let’s explore all 13 zodiac signs in their dragon form, then reveal my own sign, Ophiuchus — the serpent-bearer — to show how this ancient code speaks to our higher selves.

🔮 Personal Note:
I was born on 6 December 1979, “which makes me older than dirt”, lol, right under Ophiuchus. For years, I felt out of place in traditional astrology, like the puzzle never quite fit.
When I discovered Typhon, it felt like a mirror to my soul: misunderstood, powerful, a challenger of false gods… but ultimately a restorer of harmony. If you’ve felt like the “13th one,” the outlier — know that you’re the initiator of change, not the outsider. You’re the whisper before a storm that awakens the collective.

🌟 Final Reflection: Why Dragon Signs Matter
You are more than your sun sign.
You are the myth reborn.
Each of these ancient dragons carries the memory of cultures who saw beyond the physical — into the soul of the cosmos. When you align your astrological sign with your dragon counterpart, you reclaim forgotten aspects of your spiritual DNA.
And if you are Ophiuchus — or feel like one — you’re here to change the system, not fit into it.
