Extended data:

More than 2000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190 ~ 120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments to mark the position of the sun on the ecliptic.

The spring is divided into 0, and every 30 degrees away from the vernal equinox (that is, zero degree of the ecliptic) is a palace, and it is named after the main constellations contained in each palace at that time, which are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces in turn, which are called the zodiac. 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 (rich imagination and creativity) in series, these constellations are 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.
