I have previously posted pictures of the stamps and the sheets in the Topical section thread
Western Astrology, Zodiac, Astrological Sun Signs Stamps etc here https://goscf.com/t/18448

An interesting feature of the souvenir (miniature) sheets from 2011 and 2012 is the colour dots area (traffic lights) on the right upper side of the sheet, showing eclipses of planets / sun / moon.

Also, on my copy of the 2012 sheet the grey-coloured border area on the right-jand side (with the colour dots on it) is 6 mm wide compared to 2011's width of 5 mm.

2011 - - - and - - - 2012



The next sheet to complete the zodiac is due out next year, 2013.

Something else that I like about these souvenir sheets is the spectrum strip on the left side...If you line up the souvenir sheets one above the other you'll see what I mean.

I'm not an astronomer but I'm going to guess the star patterns properly mark out the night sky if they were placed one above the other as well.
