No. The Zodiac are 12 constellations that lie in the plane of the ecliptic; circumpolar ("moving around the pole") stars are well above or below the ecliptic.

Does Mexico see the same number of circumpolar stars as Ann Arbor?
Yes it does; both places are located on the Northern Hemisphere.
Stars which appear to revolve around Polaris and do not set go below the horizon are called?
All stars appear to travel in circles around the celestial pole. The ones that areso close to the pole that they never set below the horizon are described as"circumpolar" stars. The size of that region of the sky as seen from your locationdepends on your latitude. At the north or south pole, the entire sky is included.At the equator, none of it is.
What are the only constellations visible all year long?
The region of the sky visible all year round is called "circumpolar". What stars and constellations are included there depends on your geographical location. For example, for somebody living 30 degrees south of the equator, a region around the south pole of the sky, with a radius of 30 degrees, would be circumpolar.

Is there anymore hidden zodiac constellation?
There is one zodiac constellation that is not included in the traditional zodiac calendar. That constellation is Ophiuchus, and it lies between Scorpius and Sagittarius. This means there are 13 zodiac constellations. Constellations cannot be "hidden," so to speak. They are a fabrication of the human mind and would not exist elsewhere in the universe as we see them on Earth. Currently, we have 88 constellations (some of which are Northern hemisphere constellations, others of which are Southern hemisphere constellations) and their boundaries (constellations are not just the stars that make up a shape, but every celestial object in a defined region in the sky) fill the entire sky.
If you were standing on the north pole how many circumpolar stars would you see?
All stars are circumpolar
Where would you see the least number of circumpolar stars?
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
What is special about circumpolar stars?
A circumpolar star never sets below your horizon.
What is circumpolar motion?
Circumpolar motion refers to the motion of the stars relative to the viewer in a particular spot. Stars that are said to be circumpolar never cross the horizon as they cross the sky for the viewer.
How many circumpolar stars would you see if standing on the equator?
If you were standing on the equator, how many circumpolar stars would you see?
How is a circumpolar stars different from other stars?
They are always visible in the sky. (Unless it's cloudy). They don't "rise" and "set" at the latitudes where they are circumpolar.
Is Pisces circumpolar?
Circumpolar constellations are those that, from the viewer's latitude, never set. Any constellation found in the zodiac is not circumpolar. These are seasonal. Pisces appears in the Spring in the Southern hemisphere and in Autumn in the Northern hemisphere.
Do circumpolar stars rise in the east?
No they do not. By definition circumpolar stars do not "rise". They are above the observer's horizon at all times.
From the northern hemisphere circumpolar stars appear to be circling what?
Polaris
What is the difference between seasonal and circumpolar constellations?
Circumpolar stars/constellations always stay above our horizon, if they go below our horizon than they are no longer circumpolar.
Is a circumpolar constellation?
No. All circumpolar constellations are found near the celestial poles. Because of their proximity to the poles, they never disappear from view. Sagittarius is on the ecliptic and thus (like all other zodiac constellations) not close enough to the poles to render it circumpolar.
Where are circumpolar constellations located?
For example, if you live at a latitude of 50° north, the circumpolar stars will be all stars that are up to 50° around the celestial north pole. As another example, if you live at a latitude 30° south of the equator, the circumpolar stars will be all those that are in a circle up to 30° around the celestial south pole.
