What is the new member of the constellation Ophiuchus? Why is Scorpio only five days away now?

Recently, a so-called "new constellation table" appeared out of nowhere, and the dates of most constellations have been moved back, adding a new Ophiuchus, which is very "magical". This makes everyone curious-is it twelve or thirteen constellations? Where did Ophiuchus come from? What constellation am I?

I am an astronomy enthusiast. Let me explain the principle of "horoscope date conversion" to you. Don't panic. What sign are you in? What constellation are you still ~ ~

In astrology, the twelve constellations are actually divided according to the twelve constellations. In astrology theory, the reason that affects human character and other characteristics is not "the constellation where the sun was born", but "the ecliptic position where the sun was born". Astrology mainly studies the sun and the ecliptic, not the constellations themselves.

Then why does astrology use the names of constellations to divide the intervals? There are two reasons:

First, Europeans like to use constellations to name special points on the ecliptic and solar calendar, such as the solstice in summer and the solstice in winter, which are named after "Cancer" and "Capricorn" respectively (the words are Cancer and Capricorn, and people who don't believe it can look it up, and Wenquxing can).

Second, the "constellation" in astrology is actually the "Astral Palace". In English, so-and-so palace and so-and-so seat are the same word. Translated, the so-and-so building sounds more fluent than the so-and-so palace, so China people are used to calling it the so-and-so building. In fact, it is more reasonable to call it a palace. Next, I will also call it so-and-so seat, so just understand it.

When the ecliptic is divided, it is divided into 12 segments from the vernal equinox, one segment for every two solar terms. Almost every paragraph happens to have a constellation. Astronomers and astrologers all named this section of the ecliptic after this constellation, and called it XXX Palace. For example, the Spring Equinox-Grain Rain section is the Aries Palace (3.2 1-4.20 in the constellation table), and the Grain Rain-Xiaoman section is the Golden Palace, and so on. If the time is short, the positions of the constellation and the ecliptic will remain almost unchanged for decades and centuries, which may be the reason why astronomers named the ecliptic section after the constellation.

The date table of the constellation (Astral Palace) is actually an approximation, because the dates of the 24 solar terms change slightly every year. For example, Libra in most constellations is (9.23- 10.23). You were born on September 23rd, but the autumnal equinox of that year was postponed to September 24th, so strictly speaking, you actually belong to Virgo.

The time of solar terms can be accurate to the second (astronomical software can check it), so there is no problem that people born on the boundary day are difficult to belong. For example, in a certain year, the first frost date is 10.23 at 2 1: 35: 56, so people born before this time belong to Libra, and vice versa.

Now everyone knows that the so-called "constellation" in astrology is actually the position of the ecliptic where the sun was when you were born. No matter how the constellation changes and the earth's axis rotates, the relative relationship between the ecliptic and the sun will not change (the ecliptic itself is produced by the sun). Therefore, the "date table" of astrology actually does not change with the constellation.

As for those statements such as "the change of the earth's axis, the movement of the solar system, and the movement of the stars themselves", it is really a spoof. In fact, the only reason for the change of constellation position is the change of earth axis.

When the zodiac was first named, it has been more than 2000 years now, and the constellation has rotated about 30 degrees relative to the zodiac. The vernal equinox used to be just between Pisces and Aries (note that the constellation is not an astrological house), but now it has moved westward between Aquarius and Pisces (if you want to know, you can go to Baidu to check "the vernal equinox moves westward").

In this way, the relative position of the constellation and the ecliptic has changed, which means that the constellation and the astrological palace are misplaced. Therefore, there is a saying that the date of the constellation has changed. As we all know, the "constellation date" was originally determined not by the constellation, but by the star palace. The star palace is determined by the solar calendar. How can it be changed?

Now let me explain Ophiuchus. In the current constellation division, Ophiuchus does have a part on the ecliptic. But when naming the zodiac, all the stars in Ophiuchus belong to Scorpio (scorpion's left limb). Now I understand why Scorpio is so short in the New Watch, but there is also Ophiuchus-because some stars in Scorpio are assigned to Ophiuchus, and Ophiuchus happens to be the star on the ecliptic.

The author's statement about "Ophiuchus" and the date of most constellations moving backwards made me see at a glance that he was trying to combine the concepts of astronomy and astrology, constellations and astrology.

To put it bluntly, the so-called "new constellation table" is purely based on the positional relationship between astronomical constellations and the ecliptic. It is likely that the busybodies think they are "new discoveries" and speculate so far!

In the true astrological sense, the date division of the "Twelve Constellations Table" will always be based on Boxing Day, and will not change with the constellations at all. Please stop being called ~ ~! !

PS: Of the 24 solar terms, only the solar term in the second half of the month is the "constellation demarcation point". They are: vernal equinox, Grain Rain, Xiaoman, summer solstice, big heat, summer equinox, first frost, light snow, winter solstice and severe cold.

Equinox-Grain Rain is Aries, and so on.
