No, I'm going by modern western tropical astrology, this is the school that I believe in, this seperates 12 houses around the elliptical earth that the sun will be in, on any hour, day, month, year, each sign is exactly 30 degrees apart from each other which equals the 360 degrees that fit 12 signs into it, this is why it is really called sun signs, and not star signs, it uses the same names as the constallation astrology that you are talking about, but precession does not affect tropical astrology at all, sorry, there is sidereal astrology that takes into account precesession, and relies on the constallations,but the the seperation of degrees for each house of sidereal constallation astrology is a bit messed up compared to tropical astrology, as the constalltions an be as little as 20 degrees apart, and and much as 50 degrees apart, compare this to 30 degrees apart in tropical astrology, and it's a lot different as it's based upon the seasonal cycle of the Northern hemisphere ... of which greece is a part of when tropical astrology was first used in greece, but both the sidereal, and tropical astrology have thier roots in babylonian tropical astrology, babylon also being in the northern hemisphere
most of the names are not greek btw, they are latin, or latinised greek, the latin word zodiac comes from the latin word ' zodiacus' which means, 'the reason behind the circle'[ of animals] the greeks called cancer the crab becauses certain tumours on the skin had raised swollen veins, that looked like crab limbs then then the latin word for the crab is cancer, which then became the word for a cancerous tumour, this was even taken on into old english, and then moved into middle english, into the word canker which you may know as meaning a lump, for example on the skin or even on a tree.
