Constellation 12 is not divination, but astronomy.

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 ecliptic" means "twelve equal parts of the ecliptic". Therefore, the twelve constellations in astronomical calendar and astrology are different in practical sense. If you are not an astrologer, look at which constellation you belong to according to the actual dates of the twelve constellations in the astronomical calendar. Introduction to the Twelve Constellations The twelve constellations, namely the zodiac, are the twelve regions in astrology that describe the sun passing through the zodiac on the celestial sphere, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Although Ophiuchus also passes through the zodiac, it is not in the zodiac used in astrology. After the International Astronomical Union standardized the constellation boundary in 1928, there were 13 constellations on the ecliptic. Because of precession, the date of the present sun sign is different from that of the zodiac used in astrology. The origin of Constellation 12 and Constellation 88 In ancient times, in order to identify the direction and observe the sky, the scattered stars in the sky were connected by imagination. Half of them were named in ancient times, and their naming methods include myths and epics of Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt and Greece. The other half (mostly in the night sky in the southern hemisphere) was named only in modern times, and is often named after navigation instruments. In ancient times, because of different regions, the way of "Lianliankan" was different! Now the world has unified the constellation map into 88 constellations and divided the sky into 88 regions. 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 the circle formed by animals, also known as the "zodiac"), so we can say what constellation that person is. More than 2000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190 ~ 120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments, with spring divided into zero, and every 30 degrees from the vernal equinox (that is, the zero degree of the ecliptic) as a palace, taking the main constellations contained in each palace at that time. There are twelve constellations in all. Babies born when the earth moves to every fraction (constellation) will always have some similar characteristics when they grow up, including behavioral characteristics. By connecting these associations in series (rich imagination and creativity), the humanity of these constellations is visualized; It also adds the color of myth and becomes an important part of culture (mainly Greek and Roman mythology). This set of numerology has been developed and circulated for at least five thousand years, represented by these twelve constellations respectively. But these constellations are not the thoughts of a "star", but only "representative symbols of the same name".
