first_o because_o the_o equator_fw-la cut_v and_o divide_v the_o circle_n of_o the_o zodiac_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o aries_n and_o also_o the_o opposite_a sign_n libra_n so_o that_o six_o sign_n be_v northern_a and_o six_o southren_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o beginning_n be_v from_o aries_n and_o not_o from_o libra_n be_v for_o that_o that_o part_n which_o be_v northern_a be_v strong_a
