Landlocked countries with a population that largely believes that star constellations and your birthday have a correlation with your future will find the signs of the zodiac important, I guess. After all, most of the lions in Britain are either holding arms, in arms or in the horoscope columns, representing leo. Scorpions are also not really one of Britain's big threats (though I wouldn't be surprised to hear there's a pop group by that name

)
I am a bit disappointed nobody has pointed out yet that the Chinese should have told the Libyans, Egyptians, Tunisians and quite a few others that the year of the rabbit was supposed to be quiet and dull
