Who made the zodiac signs?

Question

There are 12 in the zodiac. When I read mine, it describes me exactly. How come?

Answer 1

Babylonian astronomers at some point during the 1st millennium BC divided the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude to create the first known celestial coordinate system: a coordinate system that boasts some advantages over modern systems (such as equatorial coordinate system or ecliptic coordinate system). The zodiac is also understood as a region of the celestial sphere that includes a band of eight arc degrees above and below the ecliptic, and therefore encompasses the paths of the Moon and the naked eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn). The classical astronomers called these planets wandering stars to differentiate them from the fixed stars of the celestial sphere (Ptolemy).

Strictly speaking, the eventual culmination of the classical zodiac includes signs (also constellations) that are not all represented by animals (e.g., Libra, Virgo, Gemini). However, the term probably derives from earlier conceptions of the constellations along the ecliptic as sculpted animals. As with the Chinese zodiac, Indo-European astrologers understand the movement of the planets and the Sun through the zodiac as a method to explain and predict events on Earth.

The modern western astrological signs are simplifications of conventional pictorial representations of the signs, used since Hellenistic times. The characters are encoded in unicode at positions U+2648 to U+2653 (hexadecimal numbers): Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. The glyph representation of these characters will depend on the font in which they are displayed.

I feel the same way. It seems to describe us exactly because it has something to do with the the exact position of the sun and the moon when we were born together with other elements which is a factor to determine our personalities.

Self fulfilling prophecies also come into play.
"A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that, in being made, actually causes itself to become true."

We read/think that we ought to be a certain way, and we, consciously and unconsciously end up behaving that way.

Answer 3

God made the zodiac but in different meanings, each sign holds a purpose in the end times. There are biblical books about it, one is The True Meanings of the Zodiac. It describes the signs in conjunction with the constellation. But each sign we are born under serves a purpose in the universe. Research in the religious aspects, and it will all make sense.
