The Zodiac Signs
What Is the Zodiac?
This is simple. The zodiac is nothing more than the path
our Earth takes around the sun in the course of one
year's orbit. This annual orbital path takes the earth
through a sky filled with stars and the constellations of
stars. The particular set, or band, of constellations the
earth passes through, is the one of the twelve familiar
constellations and signs of the zodiac, thus the term: the
band of the zodiac.
