The Equinoctial Circle, Equator, or Equinox, is a great circle or line, equally distant from the two poles of the world, dividing the sphere in the midst.
Zodiac is a broad oblique circle, crossing the equinoctial in two opposite places, viz., in the beginning of Aries and that of Libra, so that one half declines towards the south, and in this circle is comprehended the twelve constellations or signs, every sign containing thirty degrees in length, and twelve in breadth.
