Are tarot cards and constellations the same theme?

The word "Tarot" is taken from Egyptian characters tar (Tao) and ro (King), meaning "King". So "Tarot" itself refers to his correct determination as a king, which is also the origin of this divination method.

The origin of tarot cards

According to legend, the original tarot cards were not used for divination in the form of cards. It's just a "fantastic book", a mysterious book dedicated to conveying the will of the gods. Whenever the ancient Pharaoh had any problems to solve, he would open this book of ignorance, and all the problems would be solved. (Note: the moon is the god of culture and education) Later, when the Egyptian dynasty died, in order to prevent this mysterious book from falling into the hands of foreigners, it was painted on a card in the form of a picture and handed over to the official. Later, it was introduced to Europe by Alexander. Around the middle ages, the tarot cards we are playing now were formed.

The origin of this ancient divination tool has always been a mysterious legend, and many experts who study mysticism try to find clues.

Some people say that it comes from Egypt, which means "sacred journey" and "god of wisdom and magic" in Egyptian.

Some people say it comes from ancient Rome, which means "wheel of life" in Latin.

Some people say it comes from Hebrew, which means "law" in Jewish.

It is said that it comes from Persia, which means "playing cards" in gypsy language. It is the gypsies who introduced the word "tarot" to Europe.

It is said that since ancient India, Indian gods have held some symbols of tarot cards, such as cups, power, swords and rings.

It is said that from China, card games were printed on paper money in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that cards were used to entertain court wives.

▼ Ancient Italian Theory-According to historians' research, as early as14th century, some aristocrats in European countries had already played tarot cards, during which the Vatican banned tarot cards and characterized them as the devil's Atlas and pagan articles. In addition, the earliest known tarot cards appeared in Italy at the end of14th century15th century. The Italian poker game "tarocco" sounds similar to Tarot, with only 22 cards, which is similar to the 22 main cards of Grand Akana. At the same time, the meanings of love, victory, love, death, reputation, fate and future praised in Italian poetry are similar to those of tarot cards. Therefore, many people agree that Tarot originated in Italy. However, many scholars who study tarot cards believe that these evidences can only show that tarot cards once appeared in Europe, and they do not believe that tarot cards originated in Europe.

▼ Gypsy theory-scholars who study tarot cards believe that tarot cards are most likely brought to Europe by gypsies in Asia or Africa. They make a living by divination, and tarot cards are one of their divination methods. However, Gypsies are nomadic people who wander around. Is it possible to develop a very systematic philosophy of tarot cards? Tarot cards may not be the product of gypsies, they just learned from other civilizations.

▼ Ancient Egyptian Theory-Some people think that Tarot cards are products of ancient Egypt. Many people believe that after the destruction of Alexandria, Egypt, the Moroccan city of Fez has become a new world-class academic center, where scholars from all over the world are concentrated. Unfortunately, they didn't have a common language and characters, so they prepared an album full of mysterious symbols, and replaced the language and characters with pictures. Later, these pictures evolved into playing cards. This statement is unbelievable and has no factual basis, but there is another statement that is willing to go from ancient Egypt and is worth listening to.

Thoth (someone translated him as [Egyptian Moon God]) was one of the many gods in ancient Egypt, in charge of wisdom and magic, and also the inventor of numbers. Some people think that he invented twenty-two Akana cards in tarot cards as one of the rituals of Egyptian wizards.

There is not much truth in this statement. Tarot experts who believe in this theory all believe that Egypt must have relevant literature records. 1799, Napoleon's army found a clay tablet engraved with ancient Egyptian characters. Not only this clay tablet, but also other Egyptian documents have not found any records about tarot cards, which is a frustrating thing for believers of Egyptian theory. Whether this statement is right or wrong, it is undeniable that many tarot symbols originated in ancient Egypt.

▼ Judaism-After a series of studies, experts found that Tarot cards are closely related to Kabbalah of ancient Hebrews, which can be said to be more reliable. Kabbalah is the philosophy of ancient Jews, and it is said that it was handed down from God to Moses (or Moses). It is a kind of knowledge that people cooperate with each other to enhance their spiritual strength. Twenty-two Akana cards of tarot cards are deeply related to the twenty-two letters of Hebrew and Kabala. Someone has compiled a comparison table of tarot cards and ancient Hebrew letters. The research on tarot cards in recent decades shows that the statement that tarot cards originated from ancient Jews is highly credible.

To sum up, the origin of tarot cards should be roughly as follows: First, the big Akana of tarot cards originated from Kabaka, an ancient Jew. Because of the frequent contact between ancient Jews and ancient Egyptians, they also absorbed many Egyptian religious symbols. With the frequent wars in the Middle East, the predecessor of Tarot almost disappeared. Later, gypsies didn't know how to use tarot cards, but I believe they probably didn't know much about the philosophical level of tarot cards. They used it as a divination tool. Tarot cards spread from12nd century to Europe in14th century, and became popular in the Middle Ages. They can be found in many pictures and books at that time. Tarot cards are everywhere, whether in the palace or in the common people. It was not until the rise of the church that Tarot cards were regarded as the mysterious magic of paganism and were suppressed from then on. Under the protection of a willing heart, the tarot card survived and showed its mysterious atmosphere in front of the world. After the influence of the church weakened, tarot cards developed again, and new tarot cards were introduced one after another. Especially at the end of19th century, the research on tarot cards became more systematic, and the rider tarot cards were one of the representatives.

Definition of constellation

In order to identify the stars easily, people divided several regions according to their natural distribution in the sky. Different sizes. Each region is called a constellation. Connect the bright stars in the same constellation with lines to form various figures. According to their shapes, they are named after similar animals, vessels or mythical figures, such as Cygnus and Andromeda. The stars in each constellation are arranged in lowercase Greek letters according to brightness, such as Ursa Major α and Ursa Major β.

Constellation is the sum of celestial spaces in an area projected on the celestial sphere. So such a constellation is not accurate inside/outside the Milky Way.

Constellation refers to the stars in the sky. In the three-dimensional universe, these stars are not actually related to each other, but their positions on the celestial sphere are similar. Since ancient times, people have been interested in the arrangement and shape of stars, and naturally linked some stars with similar positions to form constellations.

Constellations play an important role in astronomy; Astrology also uses images of the zodiac 12, but astronomers regard astrology as pseudoscience without using real scientific methods.

Basically, dividing stars into constellations is a random process. Different civilizations have different constellations made up of different stars-although some constellations made up of more conspicuous stars are roughly the same in different civilizations, such as Orion and Scorpio.

The International Astronomical Union divides the sky into 88 official constellations with precise boundaries, so that every star in the sky belongs to a specific constellation. Most of these official constellations are based on the ancient Greek traditional constellations handed down from the Middle Ages.

The origin of constellations

Constellation originated in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. The Babylonians divided the sky into many regions and called them "constellations", but at that time constellations were of little use and were rarely found and named. The constellation 12 on the ecliptic was originally used to measure time, not to express people's character as it is now. Around 1000 BC, 30 constellations have been proposed. The Tigris River and the Euphrates River flow from northwest to southeast and flow into the Persian Gulf, so they are also called "two river basins".

After the culture of the two river basins spread to ancient Greece, it promoted the cultural development of ancient Greece. Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellation and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. In the 2nd century A.D., Ptolemy, an ancient Greek astronomer, synthesized the astronomical achievements at that time and sorted out 48 constellations. Connect the main bright stars in the constellation with imaginary lines, imagine them as images of animals or characters, and give them appropriate names in combination with fairy tales. This is the origin of the constellation name. Most of the 48 constellations in Greek mythology live in the northern sky and north and south of the equator.

After the Middle Ages, European capitalism rose and needed to expand outward, and the navigation industry was greatly developed. Ships sailing at sea need navigation at any time, and stars are the best street lamps. Among the stars, this constellation has a special shape and is the easiest to observe. Therefore, constellations have aroused widespread concern. When Magellan sailed around the world in the16th century, he not only used constellations to navigate and orient, but also studied constellations.

1922, the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided to divide the sky into 88 constellations, and their names basically followed the historical names. 1928, the international astronomical union officially announced the names of 88 constellations. These 88 constellations are divided into three celestial regions, 29 in the northern hemisphere, 47 in the southern hemisphere, and near the equator and ecliptic 12.

There are nearly 6,000 stars visible to the naked eye, each of which can be classified as a unique constellation. Each constellation can be identified by the shape of the bright star inside.

In order to facilitate research, people divide the starry sky into several regions, which are called constellations. China has long divided the sky into three walls and twenty-eight nights. Historical records and official records are quite detailed. Sanyuan is the three areas around the north celestial pole, namely Ziweiyuan, Taiweiyuan and Tianshiyuan. Twenty-eight lodges are distributed in 28 areas near the ecliptic and the white road, that is, seven lodges in the east: corner, health, ground, room, heart, tail and dustpan; China's achievements in stargazing are earlier than those in the west. People in China say that there are 28 places on the three walls, and the constellations in the sky are divided into three 28 categories, not just the western 12 constellation. One of the most important is Ziwei Garden. China's astrology, now collectively referred to as the purple constellation, is different from the twelve constellations in the west. China's * * * constellation has 14 main stars, namely China, Secret, Sun, Tiantong, Tianfu, Taiyin, Wolverine, Giant Gate, Fairyland, Seven Killings and. According to the Book of Changes, it can be divided into yin and yang, and the corresponding personality can be divided into four categories: pioneering, leading, supporting and cooperative.

Constellations in astrology

Just as some ethnic groups in East Asia define a person's zodiac according to the animals represented by the year of birth, in many countries, a person's birth month corresponds to a constellation.

Birth constellation comes from astrology, trying to explain people's character and destiny by using their birthplace, birth time and celestial position.

The birth month corresponds to the sun constellation as follows. Because the orbit of celestial bodies is different from the Gregorian calendar, the difference between different years will be 1-2 days, which is consistent with the distance between "solar terms" in the twenty-four solar terms of the China lunar calendar. The calculation of solar term time is accurate to minutes (not midnight), which is also the boundary of the constellation and changes every year.

Constellation name ecliptic time (general cognition) Star time Lunar solar terms correspond to the constellation time of the sun.

And "Wei Ziming Astrology"

Lagerstroemia belongs to the earth and is the main star of Beidou. In 14 positive obsidians,

It is also a group of stars and obsidians, so the ancients called it emperor obsidian and compared it to the former emperor.

I don't know the rest. In addition, I said that divination can only give you a guide, and it is important to grasp it yourself.
