This is a legitimate empirical hypothesis which has been ignored due to ‘guilt by association’ with pre-modern concepts.

Unfortunately you wreck your own case by bringing in the earth-air-water-fire, fixed-mutable-cardinal twaddle from traditional long-discredited western-style astrology.

The equinoxes and solstices have obvious meanings; the signs do not. Twelve is a convenient number for division, but so are 24 and 30 and many others. For example, Chinese astrology divides the sky into 28 mansions of heaven, representing (roughly) the motion of the Moon in one day. Anything beyond the solstices and equinoxes is purely arbitrary.
