Has astrology changed?

According to the Royal Astronomical Society, 1 181people born between October 29th and February 29th should be Ophiuchus, not Sagittarius. Ophiuchus is between Scorpio and Pentaphyllus.

In mythology, Ophiuchus is a man who jumps snakes, similar to the Greek god of medicine. If Ophiuchus is in the right position, then the traditional star chart will have to be revised accordingly, and the territory of Scorpio and Sagittarius in the traditional star chart will have to be handed over. Astronomers have long pointed out that the familiar horoscope of the zodiac does not conform to the actual phenomenon of celestial bodies. When the laws of astrology were laid more than 2000 years ago, the astrological chart formed by the sun "passing through" a series of constellations was quite different from what we see today.

Therefore, the real map should be like this:

Aries: April 19- may 13

Taurus, May 65438+June 20th, 2004.

Gemini June 2 1- July 19

Cancer July 20-August 19

Leo (August 20-September 15)

Virgo September 16-10 October 30.

Libra 65438+ October 3 1- 165438+ October 22

Scorpio165438+1October 23rd-165438+1October 29th.

Ophiuchus165438+1October 30th-65438+February 17.

Sagittarius 65438+February 18- 10/8

Capricorn 65438+ 10 month 19-2 month 15

Aquarius February1June-March 1 1.

Pisces March 12- April 18

Astrologers laughed at astronomers' remarks. Dorothy Donne, director of the American Astrological Union, told The Times of London: "There are twelve constellations. Ophiuchus may be related to the constellation, but it has nothing to do with the zodiac. Astronomy and astrology have completely different views. "

The origin of astrology

Astrology originated in Babylon 3000 years ago, and the Babylonians believed that the position of the planets had a great influence on the life of the emperor or empire. Later, the Greeks accepted the Babylonian view and expanded the influence of astrology to include ordinary people. The ancient Greeks believed that the fate of everyone's life depended on the position of the planet on the ecliptic at birth.

After 3000 years of evolution, modern astrology believes that a person's character and destiny are determined by the constellation when he was born. In addition, the positions of stars and planets on the celestial sphere every day also have a very significant impact on people and things in the world. So many western newspapers have a column every day to talk about the horoscope of the day.

The difference between astrology and astronomical constellations

Seen from the earth, visually, the sun seems to revolve around the earth, and the path taken by the sun in one year is called the ecliptic. "Zodiac" is located near the zodiac, and the sun passes through the twelve constellations. Actually Ophiuchus is also one of the zodiac signs. Therefore, the zodiac should have a "zodiac". Perhaps westerners are very taboo about the number "thirteen" and think that snakes are evil representatives, so Ophiuchus has been omitted.

Apparent motion of the sun and its constellations

Because it takes about 365 days for the sun to circle the earth, and a circle has 360 degrees. Therefore, the sun advances about once a day on the ecliptic. Astronomically, these constellations are different in size. Virgo is at 45 degrees of the ecliptic, which means that the sun is in Virgo for about 45 days. Scorpio is only 6 degrees on the ecliptic, which means that the sun is only 6 days in Scorpio. But for the convenience of astrology, these differences are also ignored, and the number of days to become each constellation is 30 days or 3 1 day.

In addition, because the rotation axis of the earth is influenced by the moon, sun and other planets, it is constantly changing. The constellation used in astrology is the old position two thousand years ago. Therefore, the difference between the actual sun constellation and the astrological constellation is nearly one constellation on average. This difference will gradually expand, and it will be 20 thousand years before the constellations of astrology and astronomy overlap again. Because the sun is the closest star to us, its influence on us should be very important.

Ophiuchus characteristics

Ophiuchus is affectionate and steady, and has strict standards on right and wrong. Besides, Ophiuchus is a person with his own ideals and goals, so he will stand up to meet the challenge. Zhong is very enthusiastic.

The story of Ophiuchus

Kay Long Xing of Sagittarius took a fancy to Apollo's beloved son Askri Diez and taught him all his knowledge. With his father, the god of medicine, and an excellent teacher, Ascledios immediately surpassed the teacher and became a very excellent doctor. He treated patients who other doctors had given up treatment, saved seriously injured patients, and soon even had the ability to bring patients back to life.

Hades said angrily, "What a terrible thing. If this continues, there will be no one in the country of the dead. " He quickly protested fiercely to Zeus, the king of gods: "The fate of the world has long been doomed, how can it be changed at will?" Even God is not allowed to do such a thing, what's more, he raised the dead into people, which is really a mess. "

Zeus also thought that the order of the universe would indeed be chaotic, so he killed Ascledius with lightning. But as a doctor, his great achievements can not be ignored, so Zeus added him to the constellation, and Ophiuchus was born. After Asclepius's death, he was even more respected. Because he built a temple in Urus, patients who came to ask for help always lined up. Those patients go to the temple to support him and pray for him, and then when they fall asleep, Ascledius will appear in their dreams and tell them how to cure their diseases.

Ascledios, who became Ophiuchus, held a snake in his hand, because Ascledios used snake venom as medicine before his death. In the eastern Mediterranean, snakes have always been very sacred animals and are loved and respected; In a hospital called Asclepion, snakes are not only made into spells or witchcraft, but also used snake scare therapy. They think that snakes have strong vitality, so they have something to do with treating their diseases. Moreover, after the snake "dies" in the cold winter, the "corpse" will not rot, but will be alive and kicking in the spring, so everyone thinks that the snake has the ability to "come back from the dead".

So you are Ophiuchus, haha ~ ~
