For other uses, see
Zodiac (disambiguation). The term zodiac denotes an annual cycle of twelve stations along the
ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun across the heavens through the
constellations that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of
celestial longitude. The zodiac is the first known celestial coordinate system. There are two apparently independently created zodiacs.
Babylonian astrology, inherited by
Hellenistic and Indian astrology, developed the zodiac of twelve signs familiar in the West. In Chinese astrology, months and years pass through a cycle of twelve animals that imply certain fortunes or misfortunes related to events occurring within those signs. The Chinese zodiac is not linked to constellations, however.
