Yes - they do. As Earth makes it's yearly journey around the sun, we see different parts of space and different patterns of stars at night. The constellations we see on a winters night are in the daytime sky during the summer. The sun's light drowns them out and we can't see them or any stars in the daytime. But, ancient people used the constellations to determine when to harvest and when to plant. When the rains were coming and when it would be dry. When animals migrate and when they hibernate. That's why Capricornus (half goat half fish) Aquarius (water bearer) and Pisces (the fishes) are the constellations that have some reference to water - they also represent the months of January, February and March. Well, those months make up the rainy season. Those constellations marked the position of the SUN in the WET months of winter.

What is a seasonal Catholic?

A seasonal Catholic is basically a Protestant who was baptized and raised Catholic, but looks on the Church the same way a Protestant looks on his "church". In other words, a seasonal Catholic does not realize that the Catholic Church is the Body of Christ on earth; and consequently, they do not follow Catholic doctrine, they do not attend Confession regularly, and they usually only show up for Mass on Christmas and Easter, as if they were a Protestant.
