What do the twelve constellations mean?

The twelve constellations are as follows:

The so-called twelve constellations refer to Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

After the culture of the two river basins (Babylon) spread to Greece, ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. Among the stars, the constellation has a special shape and is the easiest to observe. Therefore, the zodiac is divided into 12 constellation, which is called the zodiac.

Characteristics of constellations:

Mesopotamian astrologers divided the starry sky into several regions for the convenience of studying and observing many stars in the sky, and each region was a constellation. It's hard to say clearly when humans began to have the concept of constellation. This astronomical knowledge was known long before there was a historical record. The name of the constellation probably comes from the sailors who sailed early.

The origin of constellations may be completely different between civilizations in different regions, but with the expansion and mutual influence of civilizations, the culture of constellations also includes the process of integration.
