The Zodiac formed an integral part of astrology on the many planets where sentient beings practised this art. It resembled a wheel, with beings of different birthdates having a different place on that wheel depending on the influence of the stars and/or planets. Humans and Draconians each used Zodiac signs in their astrology, as did the inhabitants of the planet Ventiplex. (TV: Secrets of the Stars)
On Earth, the ancient Greeks were reportedly the first to devise the system, a "wheel of time" which was divided into twelve equal, but distinct houses, which were alternately divided by whether they were masculine or feminine. The twelve signs of the zodiac were Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and finally Pisces. (PROSE: Introduction and links)
According to the Fourth Doctor, the last sign of the Zodiac was Pisces, (AUDIO: Doctor Who and the Pescatons) a claim that was true. (PROSE: Introduction and links) The Second Doctor mentioned Aquarius, Aries, Taurus and Gemini while pretending to use astrological criteria as a physician.
