Throughout the centuries, the zodiac signs have evolved and been adapted by various cultures around the world. The Greeks believed that, at the time of someone'saf rbirth, the positions of the planets and the signs of the zodiac had a profound influence on their personality and fate. They assigned the twelve zodiac signs to the twelve houses of the sky and associated them with specific deities. The ancient Greeks then developed their own system, inspired by both the Babylonians and the Egyptians. Like the Babylonians, the Egyptians used astrolog to predict the future and to communicate with the divine. They divided the sky into 36 decans, each corresponding to a specific star group, with specific attributes as well. The Egyptians also had a system of astrology, which was closely tied to their religion. They divided the sky into twelve sections, each corresponding to specific zodiac signs, with each having specific attributes.
The Babylonians (credited to be the first known system of astrology) used astrology to predict the future and interpret the will of their gods. The origins of the zodiac signs can be traced back to ancient civilizations in Babylon, Greece, and Egypt. The term "zodiac" comes from the Greek zōidiakos kyklos, meaning "circle of animals", as the constellations through which the ecliptic passes are traditionally represented by animals or mythological creatures.
It consists of a band of constellations that extends approximately 8° north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year. The zodiac is a celestial coordinate system that is used in astrology to describe the positions and movements of celestial bodies in relation to the Earth.
