China Fortune Telling and Western Astrology _ Is China Fortune Telling the same as Western Astrology?

Why is the Book of Changes in China very similar to the western constellations?

Because astrology has not formed a complete and systematic theoretical system in China, our understanding of it is still at the level of entertainment gossip, and many universities in western countries have opened astrology majors.

People in China are exposed to the most basic constellations, such as the date of birth to explain his personality characteristics, which is the most superficial and one-sided. The most powerful function of astrology is not to explain his personality and fortune.

It is called astrology in the west, including astrolabe calculation, analysis and prediction. The explanation of each constellation originated from ancient Greek mythology, in which the gods Olympus were sent by the wise ancient Greek people as the patron saint of each constellation, and the personality characteristics of the gods in Greek mythology endowed the 12 constellation with various functions and characteristics. In fact, ancient Greek mythology is a very profound and intelligent existence, which gave birth to the ancestor of western philosophy-ancient Greek philosophy, and it is also the most primitive beginning of human philosophical wisdom.

In the aspect of prediction, we mainly use the mathematical cycle of astronomy and physics knowledge to calculate, and then give a given explanation to the calculated results, similar to the ancient divination in China.

I have only read some gossip about Zhouyi, and I don't fully understand it, but the first half also tells the explanations of various hexagrams, which are also valid (but there is no textual research on the source) and need to be memorized.

China's Book of Changes is similar to western constellations. Both of them use foreign objects to explain and tell some objective contents. On the surface, both have a mysterious veil. However, in any case, I think the Book of Changes and the constellations all depend on whether we want to believe in these mysterious things or not.
