Answer 3

I would assume that the twelve hours of a clock and the twelve signs of the zodiac are more likely inspired by 12 moons a year (for the most part... except for an occasional blue moon)

Answer 4

Answer 5

Not that I know of

Answer 6

Do a little math work.

Twelve is an extremely easy number to divide and multiply for astrology uses. It divides by four different numbers 2, 3, 4, and 6. Double and you have our 24 hour day.

Two hemispheres, night and day. Three "qualities" cardinal, fixed, mutable. Four elements. Twelve cusps. Multiply by 30 degrees and you have 360 degrees, a full circle.

Now imagine if there was one sign more or less. Both 11 and 13 are both "prime" numbers. These can not be divided at all. Four to nothing and you have a huge reason for 12 being the magic number. That is why nothing else is used.

Answer 7

Yes they have the number in order of signs

Aries is 1

Taurus is 2

and so on
