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.
