Default Simulating a Zodiac with a chart

I want to make a circular chart similar to a Zodiac but I want to
color sections similar to a pie chart.
I have plotted this before using Sin/Cos of the degree but did not
have the ability to color the pie shape pieces.
Is this possible?

So say I want from 360* (top dead center) to 90* (left quadrant) to be
shaded, how would I do this and with what type of chart?

Hi,

If I understand just set up a data area like this

Aries 10
Taurus 10
Gemini 10
Cancer 10
Leo 10
Virgo 10
Libra 10
Scorpio 10
Sagittarius 10
Capricorns 10
Aquarius 10
Pisces 10

All the values being the same and plot it as a Pie.
