There is one zodiac constellation that is not included in the traditional zodiac calendar. That constellation is Ophiuchus, and it lies between Scorpius and Sagittarius. This means there are 13 zodiac constellations.
Constellations cannot be "hidden," so to speak. They are a fabrication of the human mind and would not exist elsewhere in the universe as we see them on Earth. Currently, we have 88 constellations (some of which are Northern hemisphere constellations, others of which are Southern Hemisphere constellations) and their boundaries (constellations are not just the stars that make up a shape, but every celestial object in a defined region in the sky) fill the entire sky.
The history of aquamarine is that they use to say that it is the zodiac sign for the constellation Scorpio.
A zodiac is a band of the celestial sphere extending about 8° to either side of the ecliptic that represents the path of the principal planets, the moon, and the sun. Zoodiacs usually show constellations, and one zodiac sign is Leo, who is named after the constellation of Leo, the Greek word for "lion".
First, let's discuss a bit what the word zodiac actually means. It comes from a Greek phrase meaning "circle of animals" ("zodiac" is actually the "animals" part of that) and represents the constellations, half of which are named after animals (the others are people, mythological beasts, or objects) through which the Sun appears to pass over the course of a year.The twelve traditional "signs" (constellations) of the zodiac are:Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.However, astronomers call the path the Sun appears to trace in the sky the ecliptic. The ecliptic actually passes through a thirteenth constellation (using the modern definition of constellation, i.e. a particular defined patch of sky, not just an asterism, a pattern formed by bright stars). This constellation is Ophiucus. It also "just misses" a constellation called Cetus. Some people therefore consider Ophiucus and Cetus part of the zodiac as well, which kind of messes up the term, because Ophiucus represents a man and Cetus represents a sea monster, dropping the proportion of "animals" below one-half. If it helps any, Ophiucus is a man holding a snake (so it's partly an animal), and Cetus is usually called "the whale" today even though its name refers to a specific mythological sea monster which was not, in fact, a whale.
The constellation has a total of 281 stars in the area defined by the constellation boundary of which only 11 are main stars.
Cancer is located within the "zodiac" with leo to the east & gemini to the west. It's most visible in the northern hemisphere during winter & spring but only on very dark and clear nights thus the lack of bright stars within the constellation.
Cygnus is not a constellation of the zodiac.
the zodiac constellation is fragment of orbital planet or things in the universe. It unique because all the zodiac resemable the zodiac signs. the zodiac constellation is fragment of orbital planet or things in the universe. It unique because all the zodiac resemable the zodiac signs.
A Zodiac Constellation - or zodiacal constellation - is a constellation that is along the ecliptic, which is the narrow path of sky that the sun, moon and planets follow throughout the year.
The Archer constellation/Zodiac sign is Sagittarius
The zodiac signs are stars too! They produce constellation when they go near to another star. Zodiac Signs are just signs but they are stars!
The largest of the 12 zodiac constellations is Virgo.
Lion
Virgo is the largest constellation in the zodiac and second largest constellation overall. It occupies an area of 1294 square degrees.

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.
Gemini is a constellation of the zodiac. An alternate name for this constellation is the twins or Castor and Pollux.
