Since the sun is slowly but constantly changing, an exact division into the zodiacal signs is not possible, yet it is given use in the common calendar days. The location of the sun at the time of birth determines the sign of the Zodiac. The Zodiac is the basis for the horoscope, each sign is subordinate to a segment. Since the positions of the signs of the Zodiac have slightly changed during the last millennia while the vernal equinox kept being the same, they no longer coincide with the constellations of the same name. The Cancer was also used later as the first sign, since during its time the summer solstice takes place. The first sign in this calendar was Cancer, not Aries. In a reform of the Egyptian calendar in the third century BC, the months were first named after the signs of the Zodiac. The division of the signs of Zodiac based on the visible constellations is called sidereal astrology. This classification is called the tropical astrology (tropoi = turn). Thus, it also corresponds to the basis of the Zodiac. The starting point here is the beginning of spring. It has been divided into 12 sections, each 30° in size. Unlike in astronomy, in Western astrology the Zodiac simply corresponds to the ecliptic. The part of astronomy, which deals with the signs of the Zodiac, is called Zodiac, which means "circle of creatures". The ecliptic is the orbit of the sun over the year. The signs of the Zodiac were created by dividing the ecliptic into twelve equal parts. The 12 zodiacal signs Written by Marc Mayr Published July 6, 2022
