Constellation and zodiac sign

Many moon calendars and horoscopes mean the zodiac sign by “Moon in Virgo”: twelve equal sections of 30 degrees, counted from the vernal point. Dyyna calculates like Maria Thun with the constellation in the sky. A sign and the constellation of the same name therefore only partly overlap.
