Ursa Major is a circumpolar constellation, i.e. it never rises or sets in the northern hemisphere (and never seen in the Southern Hemisphere).
The Zodiac constellations and signs go around the central band of the sky from tropic to tropic and crossing the equator.
So Ursa Major isn't a Zodiac constellation.
