Clearly the results are going to be determined by the criteria chosen for comparison. Perhaps these choices could be determined by discussion?

Absolutely, that's one of the reasons why I chose to share my code and source files. The only issues is that, every time you add a feature, you would need to go through all the zodiacs again (there are links for each sign of each zodiac, which helps, but it's still a huge pain) and populate the spreadsheet for that feature.
These are the fields of the criteria:

I was thinking of basic things: facing left or right. Enclosed in an individual, circular, medallion or some other presentation.
 
I noticed in looking through JKP's images that some representations of Capricorn look like ibex, big, old horns, some with four legs instead of fishy-like lower parts. I know there's no Capricorn in the VMs, but it clearly offers several ways to designate certain affinities in the database.

Similarly, you might consider Aquarius, one jug or two.

Perhaps others may have suggestions that work for you.
