In the Zodiac profile in OHotMU A-Z HC#14 it was revealed that this Zodiac has no connection to the one seen in New Warriors; see here.

This group was mentioned only and it is unclear if additional members even existed.

    Assuming the Zodiacs have allegiance/alignment with their Zodiac signs:

• Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra have some connection to Oshtur;
      see also the Catalogue of Correspondences for Oshtur from Ian McNee's reading of the First Tarot
• Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo have some connection to Gaea;
      see also the Catalogue of Correspondences for Gaea from Ian McNee's reading of the First Tarot
• Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio have some connection to Set;
      see also the Catalogue of Correspondences for Set from Ian McNee's reading of the First Tarot
• Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius have some connection to Chthon;
