In astrology as well as astronomy, the Zodiac is a 360° circle around the earth, where each of the twelve Zodiac signs is 30°. In astronomy it is simply used as a coordinate system, to mark the positons of celestial bodies. In astrology, though, it is much more.
In astrology and the horoscope, each Zodiac sign represents a character, a tendency, which affects any celestial body therein. The planets express whathappens, the Houses where it happens, the aspectswhy, and the Zodiac signs how.
