The Zodiac Signs
Cycles and Signs
The twelve signs of the Zodiac form a wheel, each sign
being an equal 30 degrees, and one sign following upon
another. These are the signs of the zodiac upon which
most of modern (and ancient) astrology is based. Most
of us understand something when a friend calls out to
us something like "No wonder, she's a Scorpio!" or
"Watch out for him; he's got the Moon in Aries!" I am
sure we all have a different take on these exclamations,
but we get the drift. So this much we likely know, and
we will get more into what such zodiac talk means, but
before that, it may help the process to understand
where these twelve signs came from. What is the
