Where reading the moon by sign comes from
Reading the moon by sign is old. Babylonian astronomers divided the sky into twelve equal signs around the fifth century BCE, and Hellenistic astrologers read each sign as a whole house of life, counting from the sign rising at birth. India keeps a kindred practice in its 27 lunar mansions, the nakshatras, and China in its 28 lodges, where the moon rests one night at a time.
