Zodiac constellations are a group of twelve specific star patterns that lie along the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the sky. Each constellation corresponds to a segment of the year, traditionally associated with astrological signs. The twelve zodiac signs include Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These constellations have been used for centuries in various cultures to track time and seasons. They play a significant role in astrology, where each sign is believed to influence personality traits and life events. The zodiac is also important in astronomy, helping to categorize and identify celestial objects.
