Symbols in the Sky
" Among the tombs and temples of the great civilizations of Egypt,
Mesopotamia and India, there once flourished a sacred study of the stars
that arose from Man's innate need to find order and meaning in the
universe and within himself. "

The images and symbols that represent the 12 sign of the zodiac have evolved over many centuries and draw upon ancient traditions, some of them secret.
