Zodiac Chart Signs & Horoscope Definitions
The Zodiac Zodiac, which comes from the Greek word meaning “circle of animals” is believed to date back to ancient Egypt.
It takes twelve months for the sun to rotate around the earth to its original position. 
With this information early astrologers identified twelve constellations linked to this progression and assigned them names of certain animals and persons.
For example: In early Babylon the rainy season was found to occur when the sun was in a particular constellation which was then named Aquarius “water bearer”.
Zodiac signs are divided into the following four groups.
- Fire Signs - Aries, Sagittarius, Leo
- Water Signs - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
- Air Signs - Libra, Aquarius, Gemini
- Earth Signs - Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo
Horoscopes A horoscope is the map of the entire zodiac in a circle with the earth being the center. The sun is at the top of the circle, representing its highest point during the day. To the left and right of the circle are the eastern and western horizons.
Your horoscope charts the relative positions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars at a specific time and place of your choosing, for example – your date of birth. A table listing angles and locations of the sun, moon, planets and constellations is then used to construct your chart.
