Zodiac signs were first discovered by the Greeks while they were stargazing. They found that these stars moved in a certain pattern, and they could eventually predict seasons, and eclipses from them. The Greeks also used them to make up their calendar. Zodiac signs are from this belt of stars, and each different sign comes from a certain 9 degrees on each side of an area in the belt.
