What is the Zodiac?
An organized belt of constellations which extends roughly eight degree to either side of the ecliptic (the path of the sun amongst the stars). The zodiac is divided into twelve sections of 30 degrees each, which encompass the stellar constellations known as: Aries, the Ram; Taurus, the Bull; Gemini, the Twins; Cancer, the Crab; Leo, the Lion; Virgo, the Virgin; Libra, the Balance; Scorpio, the Scorpion; Sagittarius, the Archer; Capricorn, the Goat; Aquarius, the Water Bearer; and Pisces, the Fishes. The correlation between the movements of these constellations is used in "astrology" to interpret future events.
Egyptians created one of the world's first zodiacs using animals familiar to them, including the crocodile, hippopotamus, and scarab beetle. The modern Western zodiac is based upon this ancient view of the night sky as an arc covering a round world.
Egyptians viewed the sky as a giant ocean through which gods sailed in celestial boats, much as they plied the waters of the river Nile. This concept of a universal ocean surrounding the world was vital to Egyptian mythology and religion and remained virtually unchanged through more than three centuries of Egyptian history. |
