I have always wondered how two different people looking at the sky in the west and the east came up wid exactly the same symbols for the twelve zodiacs in the traditional indian and european system; ergo there has been some transactions through the times although this may never be acceptable to the practitioners of the so called science of predictions!! The chances are that this may have evolved as a modelling to assist in navigation in a culture of seafearers which ever it may be. hey folks that is a nice body of knowledge you have put together, the funny fact is that it flies in the face of traditional indian astrology somewhere.

As you say, it could be that 108 preceded the zodiac system. So there could be other answers.. like.. <a href="http://www.sulekha.com/blogs/blogdisplay.aspx?cid=4372">Subhash Kak's blog on 108</a>. Anyways, the 108 system should've gone to Japan from India, right? Ya. Jayarava, thanks a lot for splashing some light into my brains and illumniating with the celestial answers!

Anyways, the 108 system should’ve gone to Japan from India, right? Ya.

The zodiac system that you mention, with the 12 houses was adopted in India after contact with west - can't quite recall when it was, but it is not the original Indian system. In any case 108 predates the 12 house zodiac. There are other explanations, like 108 = the distance to the sun divided by the diameter of the sun, more or less. This idea comes from Subash Kak who you can Google to find out more. Regards Jayarava re the number 108.
