The zodiac has roots that predate the Christian era. The ancient Greeks had a lot of stuff on paper, and they got a lot of their stuff from the Babylonians, who had a zodiac thousands of years B.C. Our friends at Wikipedia have posted a most informative article on the zodiac, and it's well worth the read. (A link is provided.) Knowledge there is free, by the way. Help yourself.
