Extended data

Astrology is different from real constellations;

In ancient times, when the Chinese zodiac was just established, their names and order were all from the Chinese zodiac. At that time, the vernal equinox was in Aries, and their starting points were the same. Later, due to precession, the spring equinox gradually left Aries, and now he has entered Pisces. However, the ecliptic always starts from the vernal equinox, so Aries Palace moved to Pisces, not Aries.

The zodiac and the zodiac are staggered by a constellation, and Aries is just a sign of position, not a real constellation at all. So the "constellation" in astrology is not the same as the real starry night in the sky.

From the astronomical point of view, constellations have no special significance, and they are purely artificial divisions. Astronomers connect the brightest stars in a certain direction in the sky for easy observation.

1930, in order to unify the complicated constellation division, the International Astronomical Union divided the sky into 88 official constellations with precise boundaries, so that every star in the sky belongs to a specific constellation. These 88 constellations have been given different names, including 14 names, 9 species of birds, 2 species of insects, 29 species of land and water animals, some mythical animals and inanimate objects.
