The twelve constellations, also known as the zodiac, are the twelve regions in astrology that describe the sun passing through the zodiac on the celestial sphere. These constellations are not only an astronomical phenomenon, but also a concept closely related to human character, destiny and talent.

Each constellation represents the position of the sun when a person is born. When the sun crosses the ecliptic, every constellation it passes through will have an impact on a person's character. This influence can reveal a person's innate character and talent, and help us better understand ourselves and others.

By understanding the characteristics of your own constellation, you can better understand your strengths and weaknesses, so as to play your potential. At the same time, you can also make up for your own shortcomings with the help of the characteristics of other constellations, and get along and cooperate with others better.

The origin of the twelve constellations:

The origin of the twelve constellations can be traced back to the Babylonian period around 5000 BC. At that time, people in Mesopotamia divided the starry sky into several regions for the convenience of studying and observing the stars in the sky, and each region was a constellation. Later, ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table.

In the 2nd century A.D., Ptolemy, an ancient Greek astronomer, synthesized the astronomical achievements at that time, compiled 48 constellations, connected the main bright stars in the constellations with imaginary lines, imagined them as images of animals or people, and gave them appropriate names in combination with fairy tales. The names of these constellations later became the familiar versions today.

The zodiac is not only used for astronomical observation, but also closely related to astrology. Astrologers believe that the position of the sun on the ecliptic can reveal the position where the stars fall into the ecliptic when a person is born, thus reflecting a person's personality characteristics and destiny. Therefore, the zodiac plays an important role in astrology.
