Jc3s5h: you wrote The zodiac is the belt, not the 12 signs. Also, signs never were constellations, although the disparity is greater today than it was a few thousand years ago.
I have been reading Ptolemy’s Almagest, from where the term first came into modern usage. The zodiac was all of the signs, the constellations, and the belt. The name zodiac came from the signs, and the signs came from the constellations which were observed along the belt. So the root of what “zodiac” is is the constellations along the ecliptic belt (which already has its own article at Ecliptic).
You have edited here before and I have not. Could you help me understand what you are getting at? Onceinawhile ( talk) 21:35, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
It's been a good many years since I studied classical Greek, but I question the transliteration of ζῳδιακός, ζῴδιον and ζῷον as, respectively, "zōidiakòs", "zōidion" and "zōion". It seems to me that these should be "zōdiakòs", "zōdion" and "zōon". Why is there an "i" after the transliterated omega in each of these words? CodeTalker ( talk) 03:05, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
I'm considering a merge. Specifically of Zodiac and Western astrology. As well as Astrology and History of astrology. It's being discussed on the Astrology Talk page here.

The greek word for "animals" cited here, means a living being, and thus includes humans and animals. The explanation given in the article should be removed because it is false. 176.201.192.137 ( talk) 17:41, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
