🇬🇧🇪🇸 zodiac - zodíaco : English Lesson
noun
“Oops, the video you wanted took a vacation. Here’s a random one that didn’t!”
Meaning of "zodiac" ("zodíaco"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
The zodiac is a special belt-shaped path in the sky where the sun, moon, and many planets seem to move, divided into twelve star groups (like Leo the Lion or Taurus the Bull) that people use to make horoscopes and talk about personality and the future.

The zodiac said I’d meet someone great, and then I discovered a leftover slice of pizza in the fridge; destiny is delicious.
Mom said, “Your zodiac sign doesn’t control you,” while my inner Aries yelled, “Challenge accepted!”
The horoscope said my zodiac day would be full of surprises, and then my hair surprised everyone by looking like a tumbleweed.
The zodiac comes from how ancient people watched the sun move through twelve star groups in the sky—basically, it’s the original giant space calendar made of glittery dots.
At dusk, Anna unrolled a paper wheel of the zodiac. She tapped Leo, then Taurus; the zodiac pictures of the zodiac wheel shivered in the lamp. Her father traced the zodiac names, smiling. Children leaned in, guessing each sign. The neighborhood hummed as the zodiac round revealed the last sign — and everyone laughed with a small, warm cheer.
