Sign Zodiac and Constellation Zodiac

Sign Zodiac and Constellation Zodiac : The Difference
Even though the astrological sign zodiac was created with constellations as a background, it must not be mistaken for the constellation zodiac. Most certainly, during the Age of Aries, which lasted for approximately 2000 years until the birth of Christ, the two zodiacs were confused. However, we know today that the constellation zodiac features the band of visible stars surrounding the Earth, whilst the sign zodiac features the relative position between the Sun and the Earth.
Identifying the Constellations.
