Meaning

The Ophiuchus emoji shows the astrological symbol of Ophiuchus, a curving line like a stylized serpent above a straight stroke, typically white on a purple square like the other zodiac signs.

It means Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, a constellation that lies between Scorpius and Sagittarius on the path of the sun. It is sometimes called the thirteenth zodiac sign, so people use it in astrology debates, horoscope memes ("so my sign changed? ⛎"), stargazing posts and fantasy art. In medicine-themed contexts it may also nod to the snake-and-staff imagery linked to healing.

Its neighboring signs are ♏ Scorpio and ♐ Sagittarius, and 🐍 Snake pairs with its serpent theme. It was added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
