There's a fascinating blog whose author theorizes that the signs of the zodiac originated as markers to track the seasons by noting the mating and birthing behaviors of local animals.

The author explicates the meaning of the traditional signs and their variants across Eurasia by noting differences in climate and consequent timing and nature of animal behavior.

Author claims that these relationships also explain the patterns of markings on the monuments at Gobekli Tepi.
