The pole star will be directly overhead and all the other stars will go in circles around it.
The zodiac is the group of constellations where the Sun passes, in its yearly movement (this yearly movement is really the reflection of Earth's movement around the Sun). The "classical" Zodiac has 12 constellations, but the way constellations are organized today, the Sun actually passes through 13 constellations.The zodiac is the group of constellations where the Sun passes, in its yearly movement (this yearly movement is really the reflection of Earth's movement around the Sun).

The path the Sun follows through the constellations is the "Ecliptic". It's really the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The planets in our Solar System basically move close to this same plane. At most, they can go a few degrees from the Ecliptic.
polaris...
That is because we go round the Sun. That means that every day the stars we see at midnight shift to the right by about 4 minutes of time. The stars that were due south last night at midnight will be due south at 23.56 tonight and by midnight they will be a little further west. Through the course of a year the stars that happen to be due south at midnight rotate right round the full circle.
if you study constellations you know where certain constellations are around the world such as in the southern hemisphere

The Zodiac roughly coincides with the Ecliptic - the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. However, "The Zodiac" specifically refers to the constellations among those paths. Traditionally, there are 12 such constellations, though the actual Ecliptic passes through 13 constellations, according to the modern boundaries of the constellations.
These are called circumpolar constellations.

yes it does
Aquarius is one of the constellations the Sun travels through on the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun "around" the Earth over a year.

The constellations are simply stars out in space - as Earth rotates, everything appears to move across the sky. Earth also moves around the Sun throughout the year, so the stars that are behind the sun in the summer, are the ones we see at night in winter.
Circumpolar constellations means that a constellation orbits around the north star. Otherwise, polaris.
Because they're the ones that the sun's path passes through during the course of a year. If you could see the stars around the sun during the day, the sun is always in one of the constellations of the zodiac.
