So, you will ask, how is it, if our Zodiac is divided into 12 signs comprised of 30 degrees, are there 365 and 1/4 days in a year and not 360? Well, you must remember that the sun lingers more than in one degree for more than one day in some of these signs. This happens at the Solstices and Equinoxes. From a very early time even before the reforms of Julius Caesar to the Egyptian calendar, the astronomers knew it was actually about 364 or 365 days that the Sun was taking for make one revolution. But it was finally under Julius Caesar that the calendar reforms were made into a 365 1/4 days, which was a revolution in regulating agriculture and made the Roman Empire explode with wealth.
