I would argue that the zodiac is the proto-science of psychology.

This is people trying to find behavioral patterns

Pfffft if none of them exist then how did the Rat play a flute while standing on the head of the Ox to impress the Jade Emperor and become the first zodiac sign?

Checkmate, atheist.

Considering how the universe is full of stuff circling around stuff circling around stuff circling around... the zodiac signs have moved over the last couple of millenias.

Turns out you can make up any arbitrary distinctions and they just start existing. The question is if they severe any useful purpose.

I can make zodiac 2.0 exist by adding shoe size to distinguish between regular aquarius and aquarius without platypus (above EU 42 is with). So now the Zodiac 2.0 exists with the same predictive power as 1.0.

Actually they do. The zodiac ~~sign~~ constellation of a day correspond to the constellation over which the sun while be at noon. So you do have a zodiac ~~sign~~ constellation associated to your day of bird. But depending on how your culture group stars in constellations you might be from a different zodiac. If you want to follow a classical westerner map of the sky, they will be 13 of them.

Also, note that the zodiac signs won't cut the year in equal parts. Some constellations are just bigger than other and the sun path across the sky changes more or less quickly from a day to another depending on the time of the year.

Whatevs more freaky rock ladies for me

While most zodiac signs are inspired by real animals, wtf is an "aquarius"?

Oh. I wanna steal this.
