Question:
What is the difference between a zodiacal sign and a constellation?
Answers:
Zodiacal signs are 30 degree sectors of an imaginary circle drawn in the sky called the Ecliptic. They are named for astronomical constellations, but do not tally or match up with them since astrology and astronomy parted company long ago. There are other astronomocal constellations - groups of stars, which are outside the Ecliptic and not referred to or meaningful for astrologers.
In an astrological chart, an astrologer sometimes refers to a group of planets connected by certain aspects - 30, 60, 90, 120 180 degrees for example, as a constellation, and will interpret a chart according to how they see the planets and aspects combining.
