Our ancestors noticed the stars, watched them every night, and observed how they changed over the months and season. Some of the stars seemed to resemble patterns, gods, myths and legends. Our ancestors began to tell stories about those gods in the sky. The constellations of the zodiac acted as a makeshift "calendar" for our ancestors. By watching the constellations, our ancestors knew when to plant their crops and when to harvest them. They could tell when the rains were coming and when it would be dry. The skies gave them a tool that helped them survive.
