Where does the Zodiac come from?
The Zodiac is the term used to describe the circle of 12 divisions of celestial longitude that are centred upon the path of the sun.
The 12 divisions share the names we know as our star signs.
The term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus - meaning "circle of animals".
Throughout history, the zodiac has been used to predict or echo characteristics of personality.
