![]() ![]() Some people today fail to recognize this fact, and so they erroneously claim that the zodiac wheel is misaligned. The zodiac wheel is intimately aligned with our Earth’s seasons. This zodiac wheel, also known as the tropical zodiac or western zodiac, is still accurate because we always align/begin it, as the ancients Greeks did, with the first day of Spring. The zodiac circle always assigns zero degrees of Aries (Aries, the zodiac sign, not the star constellation) to the Vernal Equinox (the Spring Equinox, or the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere). The zodiac signs are 30-degree sections of space that were mathematically calculated in a way that was, and still is, intimately connected to our yearly seasons. ![]() These 12 zodiac signs are not star constellations. Each 30-degree section is one zodiac sign, for a total of 12 zodiac signs (12, not 13). This gives us a full 360-degree zodiac circle with 12 equal sections of 30 degrees each. What are the zodiac signs? The ancient Babylonians created the zodiac wheel by first splitting our sky into four sections designated by the yearly equinoxes and solstices (the turning points of the four yearly seasons).Įach of these four sections of sky were split into 3 sections measuring 30 degrees each.
