CONSTELLATION is English "Constellation", which means "Constellation" and "Constellation"; The constellation in astrology is "constellation", which means "sign", "sign" and "symbol". There is such a translation in the English-Chinese dictionary: "Zodiac" is the same free translation as the English-Chinese astronomical vocabulary; In Ying Ying's dictionary, it is explained in more detail: "one twentieth of the zodiac", which means "twelve ecliptic divisions". Therefore, the twelve constellations in astronomical calendar and astrology are different in practical sense.

The origin of the constellation:

In ancient times, in order to identify the direction and facilitate the observation of the sky, the stars scattered in the sky were connected by imagination, and half of them were named in ancient times, and their naming methods were attached according to the myths and shapes of ancient civilizations. The other half was named only in modern times, often named after navigation instruments. In ancient times, because of different regions, the way of "Lianliankan" was different! 2 1 century, the world unified the constellation map and divided the sky into 88 regions and 88 constellations.

The constellation we usually say refers to the sun constellation; That is to say, people on the earth are the center, and at the same time, we can see which constellation the sun is in orbit (Greek zodiac: meaning ~ circle made by animals, also known as "zodiac"), so we can say what constellation that person is. In fact, the origin of this constellation is different from that of the West and the East, and the arrangement of the lunar calendar is also different.

More than 2000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190 ~ 120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments, with spring divided into zero, and every 30 degrees from the vernal equinox (that is, the zero degree of the ecliptic) as a palace, taking the main constellations contained in each palace at that time. There are twelve constellations in all.

Babies born when the earth moves to every fraction (constellation) will always have some similar characteristics when they grow up, including behavioral characteristics. By connecting these associations (rich imagination and creativity) in series, these constellations are visualized; It also adds the color of myth and becomes an important part of culture (mainly Greek and Roman mythology). This set of numerology has been developed and circulated for at least five thousand years, represented by these twelve constellations respectively.
