“Cycle or circle of little animals” (1 reply)

Here is some info from Old European Culture:

“ Now here is something very interesting.


The English word zodiac derives from zōdiacus, the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek zōidiakòs kýklos (ζῳδιακός κύκλος), meaning "cycle or circle of little animals". The name reflects the prominence of animals among the twelve signs...

Surprisingly, these animal signs mark important lifecycle events of these animals in Europe

Aries - marks lambing season of European wild sheep
Taurus - marks calving season of European wild cattle
Pisces - marks mating season of European salmon
Capricorn - marks mating season of Alpine ibexes
Leo - marks mating season of European lions
Cancer - marks mating season of European large crabs

Scorpio/Eagle
Eagle marks the beginning of the mating period of the Griffon Vultures in Europe and Indian White Backed Vultures in Asia
Scorpio marks the time of the year when scorpions "disappear", hide underground from impending cold winter...Or the time when they suddenly invade human dwellings, for the same reason ”

This is an interesting point of view. See [oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com]. What do you think?
