A Zodiac Wheel, a symbol of the band of twelve constellations
of stars encircling the earth, and the astrological signs that represent them:
Aries (Ram), Taurus (Bull), Gemini (Twins), Cancer (Crab), Leo (Leo), Virgo
(Virgin), Libra (Scales), Scorpio (Scorpion), Sagittarius (Archer), Capricorn
(Sea Goat), Aquarius (water bearer), and Pisces (Fish).
The zodiac as we know it now originated in Greece about twenty-five hundred
years ago, and was adapted from the Babylonian system of constellations. Older
signs dating back five thousand years or more include the Scorpion, the Water
Bearer, and the Capricorn (Sea Goat).
