NAME
Acme::MetaSyntactic::zodiac - The zodiac theme
DESCRIPTION
Zodiacal signs from various parts of the world.
In Western and Vedic astonomy (and astrology), zodiacal signs are constellations in front of which the sun passes, as seen from earth. Traditional Western zodiac signs are based on the Babylonian observations, and contain 12 signs. However, these observations are three millenia out of date, and in reality, the sun passes in front of thirteen constellation.
This theme has four categories:
- Western/Tradional

The thirteen constellations the sun actually passes in front of.
- Vedic
-
The names of the constellations as they are known in India.
- Chinese
-

Default category is Western/Traditional.
