The signs of the zodiac weren't representations of gods, but of heroes and animals. They are an arbitrary 12 constellations of stars that lie along the path that the Sun takes in the sky. When a particular constellation is hidden behind the Sun, then the Sun was "in the house of" that constellation, such as Leo the lion, Cancer the grab, Taurus the bull, or the Twins of Gemini.
