Hi Monica,
The number of stars visible without a telescope much depends on the individual person's eyesight, but it's an interesting idea that these groups might stand for non-Zodiacal constellations.
If we consult the Almagest, Bootes will indeed give nine stars of magnitude less than four; Orion will produce fourteen, however.
But I thought the non-Zodiacal constellations were not of interest in Astrology, were they?
