That narrow path of sky went right through the same 12 constellations (Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius and Capricornus).That path is the Ecliptic. The constellations along the Ecliptic are the constellations of the Zodiac - Zoo means animals and Zodiac means "ring of animals"
