Cetus the 14th zodiac sign - dates, traits, compatibility

Traditionally the western astrology, Indian astrology, and many other astrologers believe that only twelve zodiac signs exist, namely Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. However, Steven Schmidt’s provided an idea that there are more than twelve-star signs. According to him, there are fourteen zodiac signs and thus, fourteen personality types. Recently NASA confirmed his ideas and said that there are fourteen zodiac signs. Thus, Cetus and Ouphicious were added to the zodiac chart.

Mythology associated with Cetus

Cetus is the fourth largest constellation of stars. Cetus is traditionally recognized as a sea monster. The myth famously associated with Cetus is that he was a monster sent to destroy the kingdom of Cepheus because his wife had claimed that she is prettier than the sea god Poseidon and the sea nymphs. An oracle suggested to the king that he shall sacrifice his young daughter and let the Cetus eat her alive. Hence, Andromeda was tied to a rock near the coast for Cetus to eat her. However, luckily Perseus, son of Zeus, was flying from above. He saw the princess and instantly fell in love with her. Thus, he killed the Cetus and saved her.

Cetus as a zodiac sign

Cetus has been added as the first zodiac sign of the zodiac chart and Aries has been moved to the second. Cetus falls between Pisces and Aries. It rules from 21 March to 28 March, for seven days only. This zodiac was added to the zodiac chart because people born from 21 March to 28 March portray different traits than Aries. They are a mixture of Pisces and Aries personality traits. The element of the Cetus is fire as it is a sea monster, and monsters can be easily flared. Some call Cetus a monster with a head, tail, and paws. Meanwhile, others call it a giant sea whale.

Meanwhile, the planet ruling the Cetus is Pluto. Pluto is associated with rebirth, transformation, and regeneration. Cetus was a sea monster and thus would keep remerging from water. Also, Pluto symbolizes death, destruction, chaos, kidnapping, virus, and obsession. Cetus has ruler planet, Pluto, because the monster was destructive and deadly. Pluto’s energy is associated with Lord Shiva, who could destroy as well as transform.
