Observing the night sky during the year, Babylonians identified 12 different star patterns. The roots of astrology were that the character and fate of an individual was somehow related to the arrangement of celestial bodies at birth. A respected Greek astronomer, Ptolemy, described the zodiac as consisting of 12 constellations, matching them with the month of their visible ascension: - Aries (March 21st - April 19th) - Taurus (20 April - 20 May) - Gemini (21 May - 20 June) - Cancer (21 June - 22 July) - Leo (23 July to 22 August) - Virgo (23 August to 22 September) - Libra (23 September to 22 October) - Scorpio (23 October to 21 November) - Sagittaurus (22 November to 21 December) - Capricorn (22 December - 19 January) - Aquarius (20 January to 18 February) - Pisces (19 February to 20 March)
