There is one zodiac constellation that is not included in the traditional zodiac calendar. That constellation is Ophiuchus, and it lies between Scorpius and Sagittarius. This means there are 13 zodiac constellations. Constellations cannot be "hidden," so to speak. They are a fabrication of the human mind and would not exist elsewhere in the universe as we see them on Earth. Currently, we have 88 constellations (some of which are Northern hemisphere constellations, others of which are Southern hemisphere constellations) and their boundaries (constellations are not just the stars that make up a shape, but every celestial object in a defined region in the sky) fill the entire sky.

Are signs of the Zodiac also constellations?
The twelve signs of the Zodiac are figures of astrology, and represented the star formations through which the Sun, Moon, and five planets passed. (Only Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are visible to the naked eye.) The constellations with these zodiac names were among those listed by Ptolemy (83 AD - 168 AD). In order of the zodiac calendar : Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Due to the procession of the equinox, the astronomical constellations are no longer aligned with the signs, notably Capricorn.
