The idea appears to have originated in 1970 with Steven Schmidt's suggestion of a 14-sign zodiac, also including Cetus as a sign.

Planetariums frequently note that it would be a sign if the signs did line up with the constellations, but only an insignificant number of astrologers actually take the stars into account.
The appropriate amount of emphasis on Ophiuchus in this template, per the linked policy, really is zero - just the same as the amount of emphasis given Texas and Quebec, homes of separatist minorities much more numerous and notable than the serious 13-sign astrologers, in the "Countries of North America" template which really exists - but I ...
