Tha late Rabbi S.Z. Kahana quoted on his web page from Lekach Tov to Genesis 1: 14
(And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years”)
Aries- Persia and Madai
Taurus- Chaldaeans
Gemini- Khazari
Cancer- Armenia
Leo - Edom
Virgo: Ashkenazi, German
Scorpio- desert
Libra- Africa
Sagittarius- Negro
Capricorn- Eretz Israel
Aquarius - Egypt
Pisces- Hondea
It seems that the idea of zodiac signs ruling geographical areas was not originally Jewish since
1st century CE Roman poet and astrologer Marcus Manilius already wrote in his Astronomica that Scorpio ruled over Carthage, Libya, Egypt, Sardinia.
