Hey Peter! I figure it’s the horse before the cart: our zodiacal designations, and their associated attributes, come down to us from the Lords of Kobol. Each tribe had a designation, (the 13th being Terra). When the 13th got here, they chose to name the constellations of the precession (the zodiac) after the 12 “lost” tribes they left behind, so that they would never be forgotten.

Never thought about it...but that is very, very cool. I like it. I'll have to go back and check the references, but do you mind if I use it?
JJR
