Who was Ptolemy?Ptolemy I Soter (367 BC-282 BC) was a Macedonian Greek general under Alexander the Great. He was one of the three Diadochi who succeeded to his empire. Ptolemy became ruler of Egypt (323-282 BC) and founded a dynasty which ruled it for the next three centuries, turning Egypt into a Hellenistic kingdom and Alexandria into a center of Greek culture. He assimilated some aspects of Egyptian culture, however, assuming the traditional title pharaoh in 305/4 BC.
What is the Zodiac?In Western astrology, and formerly astronomy, the zodiac is divided into 12 signs. Each sign occupying 30 degrees of celestial longitude and roughly corresponding to the constellations Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The twelve astrological signs form a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically an ecliptic coordinate system, which takes the ecliptic as the origin of latitude and the Sun's position at vernal equinox as the origin of longitude.
