The ancient Zodiac
The term Zodiac comes from the Latin and Greek language and means circle of living beings, today zodiac signs.
The Zodiac is a 20 degree wide zone around the ecliptic, within which the orbits of the planets, the sun and the moon run. The ecliptic forms the actual center line.
Within the zodiac lie the twelve known constellations of the zodiac. Also on the ecliptic is the 13th constellation of the serpent bearers. In ancient times, however, this was not considered in the interpretation of the solar zodiac constellations.
The designation of each individual zodiac sign, which is still valid today, comes from the 12 existing constellations of the ecliptic. Only after the 13th constellation no zodiac sign designation is known.
For occidental astrology nowadays the position as well as the size of the ecliptic constellations are no longer relevant. The zodiac is no longer used as a calendar and only describes the constellation or zodiac sign in modern times.
