Turns out you can make up any arbitrary distinctions and they just start existing. The question is if they severe any useful purpose.

I can make zodiac 2.0 exist by adding shoe size to distinguish between regular aquarius and aquarius without platypus (above EU 42 is with). So now the Zodiac 2.0 exists with the same predictive power as 1.0.

Already kind of a thing, since the constellations the zodiacs were based on have moved since they were "decided", and no longer match what people continue to use:

Exercise diligence when putting your shoes on, pay special attention to the laces or you will suffer great sorrow.
