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, (TV: The Highlanders, PROSE: Introduction and links) Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, (TV: Secrets of the Stars, PROSE: Introduction and links) Aquarius, (TV: The Highlanders, PROSE: Introduction and links) and lastly Pisces. (AUDIO: Doctor Who and the Pescatons, PROSE: Introduction and links)
While pretending to be a physician in 1746 Inverness, the Second Doctor mentioned several Zodiac signs while pretending to use astrological criteria as a physician. (TV: The Highlanders) The Fourth Doctor commented that Pisces was the last sign of the Zodiac. (AUDIO: Doctor Who and the Pescatons)
In the Eleven Day Empire, eleven rooms in Devonshire House were decorated as each of Earth's zodiacal signs, with the exception of the twelfth house, which included the Homeworld's sun.
