How are the constellations allocated?

The twelve constellations are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

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.

Extended data:

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.
