The twelve astrological "houses" familiar from newspaper horoscopes span 30 degrees each, so violate all the zodiacal constellation boundaries. Two of the houses (Scorpio and Capricorn) don't even have the same names as their parent constellations. The houses have also shifted relative to the background stars in the last few millennia, so that the astrological house of Ares is sitting in the constellation Pisces, and so on around the sky.
