The book explores the origins and significance of the sidereal zodiac, first defined by the Babylonians around 2500 years ago. It highlights how this zodiac, based on the stars, was used throughout the ancient world, including India, before being overshadowed by the tropical zodiac introduced by Ptolemy in the 2nd century A.D. The narrative delves into the historical context of these astrological systems, emphasizing the sidereal zodiac's long-lost knowledge and its distinction from the more commonly known tropical zodiac used in Western astrology today.
