There are 12 "houses" in the traditional signs of the zodiac, and the average is 15 degrees per house. But these were formalized about 1600 years ago, and precession (a long, slow wobble of the axis of the Earth's rotation) has made them somewhat inaccurate. A new imagining of the zodiac last year included 13 "houses", of different sizes.
