The position or degree of the Moon is determined by its rotation over a particular time span with respect to its rotation in 24 hours. Besides, the entire zodiac belt of 360 degrees is divided into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees each. Each zodiac part has its respective unique name, viz. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Similarly, the Chinese Zodiac also follows twelve divisions.
