Zodiac Signs

It seems to be that astrology comes from a human need. Primitives used to live and observe everything around their environment and that was one of the possible causes for the existence of astrology. Primitives were amazed and curious about day and night and they realized there was a cycle between the time it turned light and turned dark. It is then that the sun and the moon attracted their attention as one would appear when another would disappear in the sky.

They figured that after every 29 days the moon and the sun joined the sky and this was called the “new moon”. It was called this because it was when a new cycle would begin. However the sun used to take longer to repeat its annual cycle and that’s the reason for the existence of the seasons. However, when the sun finished its cycle there were 12 new moons during the year and that is where the 12 zodiac sings came from.
