Not the full zodiac, but they match the trading seasons and my interpretation of the corresponding civilization symbols--crescent moon: spring, elves, "arrow"; blazing sun: summer, humans, "sword"; setting sun: fall, dwarvenhome, "hammer"; full moon: winter, local government, "four dwarves". The last is currently covered by a stockpile, which is probably for the best since that's pretty hard to convey in a 16x16 square, and it didn't come out so well.
Everything was done by hand, partly to make sure that nothing but rhyolite blocks were used in the construction, but mostly because I keep forgetting to install a macro program on my laptop.
This technique still works with a minor modification. It's true that you can no longer pump an infinite amount of water into a single square, but you can just dig channels around the outside of your pump room and the water will drain back into the aquifer.
