The sequential arrangement of the twelve constellations

The correct order of the twelve constellations is: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

The arrangement order of the twelve constellations is calculated according to the ecliptic, so the twelve constellations are also called "Zodiac". Divide the earth's ecliptic into twelve segments, each segment is 30 degrees, the first house is 0 to 30 degrees, and so on. This is the correct arrangement order of the twelve constellations. The time division is as follows:

1, Aries is March 2 1 to April 20.

2. Taurus is from April 2 1 to May 2 1.

Gemini is from May 22nd to June 2nd1.

Cancer is from June 22nd to July 22nd.

Leo is from July 23rd to August 23rd.

6. Virgo is from August 24th to September 23rd.

7. Libra is from September 24th to June 23rd, 10.

8. Scorpio is from 65438+1October 24th to165438+1October 22nd.

9. Sagittarius is165438+1October 23rd to 65438+February 2nd1

10, Capricorn is 65438+February 22nd to 65438+1October 20th.

1 1, Aquarius is 65438+1February 2 1 February 19.

12, Pisces from February 20th to March 20th.

The origin of the twelve constellations

The twelve constellations originated in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. It is said that there are always more than 20 constellations in the so-called zodiac signs. About 5000 years ago, people in Mesopotamia 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, so there appeared more than 48 constellations such as ecliptic 12 constellation.

Around 1000 BC, 30 constellations were put forward, and ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. Capitalism rose in medieval Europe. During this period, the navigation industry developed greatly, but for people at that time, they could only rely on the direction of the stars as street lamps at sea.
