According to Western astrology, the belt of the zodiac is divided into twelve signs, which are Aries, Gemini, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Aquarius, Capricorn, and Pisces. Each sign corresponds to an astronomical constellation and it roughly occupies 30 degrees of celestial longitude. So, when were zodiac signs first discovered? Well, in the first millennium BCE, the Babylonians started exploring astronomy through which they divided the ecliptic into the twelve signs of the zodiac. According to the Babylonian astronomers, twelve equal signs created the ecliptic.
