I do not desire to bore to death someone down here, so, even if I have read the issue of the link quoted below, I do not discuss it, anyway I guess that notions like the Lunar Mansions (Nakshatras), Lunar Nodes (Rahu and Ketu) and so on, present in the Vedic India (apart from the quotation of the Celts, over there, a people of the tumuli, not so close to Aryans) were already post-Aryans, because no more based on the circumpolar stars visible only at the arctic latitudes and on the galactic axis (along the Gemini-Sagittarius signs).
I remember that still today in India the Zodiac used is the sidereal and not the tropic or solar one that replaced the former in the West, an observation to add to the odd taboo of eating the cow, the animal of the mother, together with the pig, but that seemed not valid at the time of Buddha, because we read in a discourse: "Like, o monks, a skilled butcher or a butcher's-boy slaughters a cow (...), so a monk considers this body..." (Suttapitakam).
The Zodiac represents the regular course of the Sun through 12 stages, a number based on the binary code, without any considerations for the chaotic stellar tapestry in the background. The solar standpoint must be seen as an attempt to restore a former outlook of the sky. This does not mean that the way to see the sky in the Silver Age was "wrong" in absolute, but it shows a different form of consciousness in which the Herculean or Apollonian solar intellect became drowned.
