Now, 3,000 years later, the sky has shifted because Earth’s axis (North Pole) doesn’t point in quite the same direction. When the Babylonians first invented the 12 signs of zodiac, a birthday between about July 23 and August 22 meant being born under the constellation Leo. Even then, some of the chosen 12 didn’t fit neatly into their assigned slice of the pie and crossed over into the next one. So they picked one, Ophiuchus, to leave out. Since the Babylonians already had a 12-month calendar (based on the phases of the moon), each month got a slice of the zodiac all to itself.īut even according to the Babylonians’ own ancient stories, there were 13 constellations in the zodiac. They picked 12 constellations in the zodiac, one for each of the 12 “slices.” So, as Earth orbits the sun, the sun would appear to pass through each of the 12 parts of the zodiac.
