Putting more practical notions of Astronomy to use in her brain, Kurumi thought a bit more before raising her hand. "Do you mean fixed designated positions in the night sky in relationship to the Earth and its seasons?"
"Both of you are correct and are awarded a point each," Thereos replied. He knew that his next question should be easy for the younglings. "It has been mentioned by several of you that there are twelve signs in the zodiac. What are their names?"
