Excuse me, could you please clarify what you mean by "the 14th zodiac"? As far as I'm aware, the traditional Chinese zodiac system consists of only 12 animals, each representing a year in the 12-year cycle. These animals are the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Is there a specific context or culture you're referring to that includes a 14th zodiac sign? If so, I'd be happy to learn more about it and provide a description.

The concept of a 14-sign zodiac system was introduced by Steven Schmidt in 1970 through his book Astrology 14. This system aimed to expand the traditional 12-sign astrological calendar by incorporating two additional signs.

One of the new signs introduced by Schmidt was Ophiuchus, which corresponds to the dates between December 6 and December 31. This sign represents the constellation Ophiuchus, often depicted as a man holding a serpent.

The second new sign added to the 14-sign zodiac was Cetus, spanning the dates from May 12 to June 6. Cetus is associated with the sea monster from Greek mythology, which is represented in the night sky as a large constellation.

The inclusion of these two new signs in the zodiac system was based on Schmidt's observation of the movement of the constellations over time and their alignment with the Earth's path around the Sun.

The traditional 12-sign zodiac system has been used for centuries as a way to understand personality traits and predict future events based on an individual's birthdate. However, Schmidt's 14-sign system challenges this long-held belief by introducing two additional signs.
