Terminology
Zodiac
The band of sky divided into twelve equal sections that astrology uses to track the apparent movement of the Sun, Moon, and planets.
Why it matters
It provides the framework astrologers use to describe where the Sun, Moon, and planets appear as they move through the year. Every birth chart and every daily transit is measured within zodiac. Without it, astrology has no common map. Even if you never study astrology, the zodiac is one of humanity's oldest ways of organizing the sky. Learning it helps you understand many traditions, symbols, and conversations about the heavens.
