Both Western and Indian astrology use same zodiac. The common choice of twelve zodiac signs is understandable when it is considered that the interaction of the Sun and Moon was central to all forms of astrology. Thus, twelve cycles of the Moon - the months - coincided with one solar year, making 'twelve' a natural choice.
