The
concept of the Zodiac originated from Babylonian astrology which is the
first organised system of astrology dating back to the second millennium BC.
The zodiac signs or astrological signs are the 12 sectors of the ecliptic
(plane of the Earth’s orbit around the sun). The 12 signs are (in order) Aries,
Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra,
Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
Each sign is associated with a different birth month,
each with different symbols, meanings and characteristics.”
