What does the word zodiac mean?

The word zodiac comes from the Latin word, 'zodiacus', which means a circle of little animals.

In astronomical terms, it is a band of celestial spheres on both sides of the ecliptic. It is divided into 12 parts with each part named after the nearby constellation.

The 12 zodiac signs are:

  • Aries (March 21 to April 19).
  • Taurus (April 20 to May 20).
  • Gemini (May 21 to June 21).
  • Cancer (June 22 to July 22).
  • Leo (July 23 to August 22)
  • Virgo (August 23 to September 22).
  • Libra (September 23 to October 23).
  • Scorpio (October 24 to November 22).
  • Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21).
  • Capricorn (December 22 to January 20).
  • Aquarius (January 21 to February 18).
  • Pisces (February 19 to March 20). 
Each of the signs represent a time period and a celestial body. For example, Leo represents the Sun, Virgo represents Mercury and so on. When a person is born, the constellations influence his or her life.
