Is there a scientific basis for constellations?

Constellations have no scientific basis.

Dr. Wang Yumin said that since 400 years ago, with the emergence of modern science, especially after Kepler discovered the three laws of planetary motion and Newton established classical mechanics, people have understood the laws of celestial motion and learned that these laws of motion have nothing to do with everything on earth.

"Since then, astronomy and astrology have embarked on their own paths step by step. Astronomers believe that the so-called concept of astrology is just like the practice of a magician or priest to cut open the internal organs of a bird and predict someone's fate by counting grains. This is a ridiculous thing.

So astronomy and astrology are actually identical twins, but later astronomy improved day by day, and astrology is still those things. Now the two brothers have established two opposing camps: science and superstition. "

The zodiac crosses 13 in the 88 constellations. Because westerners are afraid of the number 13 and think that snakes are evil, Ophiuchus is excluded from the "Zodiac". The names of the zodiac have undergone many changes, many of which are related to myths.

Most of them are named after animals. The order of the zodiac can be recorded as: Aries and Taurus are on the road, Gemini and Cancer are coming. The lion room shines brightly, and Libra and Scorpio wander together. Sagittarius and Capricorn bow and shoot arrows, Aquarius and Pisces hold their heads high. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are divided into four seasons, cleverly arranged in the zodiac.

Zhu Jin believes that putting the zodiac in the right place with people's character and destiny only reflects people's desire to find "the law of spiritual universe operation" and has no scientific basis.

Constellation view

According to astrology, the zodiac is closely related to everyone's fate. The most common view is that the zodiac is evenly distributed in a year, and everyone can be classified into a certain constellation according to the date of birth.

Just like the traditional Chinese zodiac in China, the cycle is 12 years. People in each constellation have their own specific personality characteristics, which will lead to their specific fate and future, which constitutes the main content of astrology.
