The zodiac (from Latin/Greek Zodiakos/ζῳδιακός) comprises a zone about 20° wide around the apparent orbit of the Sun, the ecliptic, within which the movements of the Moon and the planets visible from Earth pass. Within the zodiac lie the twelve constellations that have given their names to the well-known twelve signs of the zodiac. Twelve cosmic directional forces are thereby established.

From a spiritual point of view, the zodiac is the physical expression of the first hierarchy, in particular the community of the Cherubim and Seraphim, whose dominions extend far beyond the boundaries of our solar system, whereby the Cherubim are to be addressed as the actual zodiacal beings.
