The Zodiac is an imaginary band in the sky that extends in celestial latitude between 8° north and south of the ecliptic. This area includes the orbits of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. In astronomy, the celestial band is divided into 12 constellations, while in astrology, these constellations form 12 signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. This division is used as the ecliptic coordinate system, where the ecliptic is the origin of latitude and the position of the Sun at the vernal equinox is the origin of longitude.
