Where did these 12 zodiac signs come from?

 

          History of the 12 Raasi (Zodiac Signs)

Introduction

The idea of Raasi has been guiding human life for thousands of years. The sky’s 360° circle was divided into 12 equal parts, each representing a zodiac sign. This is called the Zodiac Belt.

Origin in Indian Astrology

• In Vedic astrology, it is called the Raasi Chakra.

• Sages like Rishi Parashara and Varahamihira documented it in detail.

• Each Raasi covers 30°.

• Raasis were used for marriage, farming, rituals, and festivals.

Western Influence

• Babylonians and Greeks also developed the 12-sign zodiac.

• Greek scholar Ptolemy linked them with four elements – Fire, Earth, Air, Water.

• Later, these ideas blended with Indian astrology.
