And the Sun and the other celestial bodies are said to be inside a constellation when it moves into the zodiac constellation, which includes that constellation.

Zodiacs can be traced back to ancient civilizations like Greek and Roman, who used to believe in heavenly bodies and predict the future on its basis. Astronomy and astrology were all the same for them, which is certainly not the case now.

The astrological map of planets and zodiac signs is called Kundli. The word horoscope or Kundli is also used to predict the future by using such a map.
