OP is similar to the information I was given about Ezekiels wheel. Together with the Celtic cross, it is a tool for navigation; a star clock and calendar.

The working Celtic cross measuring the angles of stars in the Ecliptic Zodiac

This article is called Ezekiel's Wheels to highlight the forgotten method of finding the sun's position at night and thus keeping the time, the missing method was by gearing two great imaginary spinning wheels of stars.
The wheel of constellations round the north celestial pole which the Egyptians called the Imperishable Ones, or Immortal Ones because they never entered the horizon.

The wheel of the Zodiac we are all familiar with that girdles the middle of the planet.

These two Zodiac's work as a clock and calendar, but only function in combination with the earlier discovery of the wheel or Celtic cross, a sophisticated yet simple ancient instrument of measurement, this natural clock is a missing piece in the puzzle of how our ancient ancestors achieved unexplainable alignments in construction and time keeping.
Everyone is aware in some form or another of the common zodiac inherited from the Greeks and the earlier one from the Egyptians, but no researcher to date has married the two zodiacs together, yet they are obvious.
This discovery of a second but interrelated zodiac is crucial since it is impossible to tell the position of the sun in an ecliptic zodiac sign by looking directly at the sun. daylight obscures the sign because it is behind the sun on the other side of the solar system.
The North wheel had four divisions and four constellations, touched the earth and rose far above it, while the South Wheel had twelve divisions in which there were the Creatures that were the eyes of Time, the animal signs of the Zodiac which means wheel of animals. The Fire in the middle is the sun.
By establishing the position of the ecliptic pole at midnight using the serpent Draconis, our ancestors could discover the position of the sun in the Ecliptic Zodiac and establish both the date and the time as well as the Epoch.
