  The sun runs from west to east in the zodiac, the annual ring "day" week. In the ecliptic belt distributed on both sides of a twelve constellations, which are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. People on the planet can have in a year to see them.
  The ancient Babylonians were on long-term observations of these constellations, _set_ by observing the ecliptic, the ecliptic into 12 equal parts again, 30 degrees each equal parts, called a segment. The sun in the 12 months to run one week around the ecliptic, so it runs a monthly segment on the ecliptic. It seems the ancients, the sun god Apollo, it will certainly be a place to rest magnificent palaces, so they put the ecliptic a segment called a palace. Thus, 12 of the ecliptic became "Zodiac." Name of the zodiac and the 12 zodiacal constellations near the same, namely, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, in Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius Palace and Pisces.
  Although the name of the zodiac and the name of the 12 zodiacal constellations near the same, but they differ essentially. Zodiac represents the sun on the ecliptic location, size of the palace and the palace is fixed. Is 30 degrees, the sun enters each house is basically a fixed period of time, and now a year after the March 21 equinox the sun came into Aries; around June 22 came to the summer solstice, enters Cancer; 9 prior to May 21, and later to the autumnal equinox, enters Libra Palace; around December 22 winter solstice came into Capricorn. A person at the time of his birthday, the sun just after his star house, so a person can not see their Zodiac when his birthday.

This phenomenon is called precession. Because of the precession of the reasons the year 2000 above four times the Sun in Aries, in Cancer, Libra and Capricorn respectively. With different zodiac, size 12 near the ecliptic constellations are not the same, for example, the width of up to 49 degrees of Pisces, and Cancer width of only 21 degrees; 12 is not necessarily located in the constellation of the zodiac, but distributed on both sides of the ecliptic Regional 8 degrees.

Zodiac Profile
  (Zodiac) The term "Zodiac" comes from the Greek zodiakos, meaning the zoo. In the eyes of the Greeks, the constellation is formed by a variety of animals, which is the origin of the twelve constellations names.
  In astronomy, earth-centered, the sun around the Earth passes through the track known as the "ecliptic." Ecliptic width 16 degrees, 360 degrees around the Earth Week, the ecliptic includes all the planets except Pluto's orbit, also contains a constellation, just about every 30 degrees
  Each within the scope of a constellation, a total of twelve constellations, known as the "Zodiac."
  The sun runs from west to east in the zodiac, the annual ring "day" week. In the ecliptic belt distributed on both sides of a twelve constellations, which are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. People on the planet can have in a year to see them.
  The ancient Babylonians were on long-term observations of these constellations, _set_ by observing the ecliptic, the ecliptic into 12 equal parts again, 30 degrees each equal parts, called a segment. The sun in the 12 months to run one week around the ecliptic, so it runs a monthly segment on the ecliptic. It seems the ancients, the sun god Apollo, it will certainly be a place to rest magnificent palaces, so they put the ecliptic a segment called a palace. Thus, 12 of the ecliptic became "Zodiac." Name of the zodiac constellations similar to 12 near the ecliptic, ie Aries, Taurus, Gemini, in Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius Palace and Pisces.
  Although the name of the zodiac and the name of the 12 zodiacal constellations near the same, but they differ essentially. Zodiac represents the sun on the ecliptic location, size of the palace and the palace is fixed. Is 30 degrees, the sun enters each house is basically a fixed period of time, and now a year after the March 21 equinox the sun came into Aries; around June 22 came to the summer solstice, enters Cancer; 9 prior to May 23, and later to the autumnal equinox, enters Libra Palace; around December 22 winter solstice came into Capricorn.

This phenomenon is called precession. Because of the precession of the reasons the year 2000 above four times the Sun in Aries, in Cancer, Libra and Capricorn respectively. With different zodiac, size 12 near the ecliptic constellations are not the same, for example, the width of up to 49 degrees of Pisces, and Cancer width of only 21 degrees; 12 is not necessarily located in the constellation of the zodiac, but distributed on both sides of the ecliptic Regional 8 degrees.

  What is the ecliptic? Earth's revolution around the sun a year, and we are from the earth, the sun is inherent in many of the constellations in the middle of the year in a circle. We walked in the constellation the sun path, that the apparent motion of the sun on the celestial orbit, called the ecliptic. In order to facilitate the observation and study of the position and movement of the sun in the ecliptic, Babylon and ancient Greek astronomers ecliptic are divided into twelve sections, these twelve sections called "Zodiac." The starting point of the zodiac is the vernal equinox, every 30 ° is a palace. Zodiac roughly corresponds to the 12 major constellations of the zodiac, zodiac names to borrow the name of the twelve constellations, which are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer,, Leo , Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
  2000 years ago, had just founded the zodiac, when the vernal equinox in Aries, so Aries as the first house of the zodiac. Time of the vernal equinox is also Aries. However, due to the precession of the reason, the position of the vernal equinox in the ecliptic to move west about 50.2 per year. "After 2,000 years, the cumulative total of more than 30 ° moved westward. Zodiac also will westward along After two thousand years of accumulation, the vernal equinox and now no longer corresponds to Aries Aries, Pisces but to say, the current zodiac constellations and zodiac no longer correspond to the. would go about Over 20,004 years or so, it will remap Aries Aries.
  BRIEF: Currently zodiac zodiacal constellation of 12 corresponds with the situation.
