SignsCELLI LAUGHING COYOTE
When the ancients noticed the planets moving along the ecliptic path, they also noticed the background of fixed stars behind that path. It would be as though you noticed a background of billboards around a racetrack. You could tell the positions of the horses around the track just by identifying the billboards behind each horse. The ancients used the background of fixed stars the same way. They divided their racetrack (the ecliptic into 12 equal sectors. Each sector was named after the fixed-star group seen in that sector. Aries the ram, etc.--the ancients referred to these sectors as the "little zoo", which in Greek is "zodiac".
