I met a friend who is crazy about constellations. How can I explain to her that the constellations are all bluff?

Hello, landlord! I have answered similar questions:

First of all, I know that many people are crazy about the zodiac and the zodiac. They are considered mysterious and can decide the fate of life. People in different palaces are endowed with different personalities. In fact, these are all illusory words, and there is no scientific reason at all.

I don't want to hurt the feelings of people who believe in these things, because astrology is also a kind of human civilization. In the early days of the development of human civilization, there were many natural phenomena that human beings could not explain, such as earthquakes and changes in river water levels. They associate these things with ghosts and gods, and the sky above them is also the object of their association. At that time, astrology and astronomy were two disciplines that were never separated. The biggest change has taken place in the past 400 years. After the invention of the astronomical telescope, the twin brothers began to go their separate ways. Astronomy is to study the motion and nature of celestial bodies with reasonable scientific explanations and test the truth with practice, which is also commonly known as "science"; On the other hand, astrology is romantic. Connecting the stars with everything with human imagination is actually what we commonly call "superstition". Of course, science or superstition is a kind of human civilization, which is undeniable. It's just that their reliability is different. If one day, there is really conclusive evidence that astrology is correct, then we will abandon science and rush to astrology theory.

Why the zodiac is fake. First of all, in the East, as opposed to the West, there is also a set of its own astrological system. It is a star official system in China. Of course, China's star officer system is not used for personal destiny divination (that is the job of street astrologers), but for large-scale military and political divination. Although the objects are different, the essence is the same. If the western zodiac can be trusted, why can't the star officials in China be trusted? If everything is credible, then why only say that the constellation is credible and the star officer is not credible, just because it is not romantic? If both are credible, then their divination results are completely different, so which one do you believe? I can say that the star officials in China are very interesting, and neither side lags behind the other.

There is another theory that can overturn the explanation of the zodiac and the thirteenth house. First of all, you have to know what the ecliptic is, that is, the height of the sun is different in different seasons, so people draw the middle area of the four routes that the sun "walks" in the sky in different seasons (although they are all arcs, they can be approximately regarded as parallel, one in each season), and this large area is called the ecliptic. Among them, the line artificially drawn in the middle of the ecliptic is called the ecliptic. The zodiac is the twelve constellations that cross the zodiac. In fact, there are thirteen constellations in the zodiac, and the thirteenth one is Ophiuchus. However, it is not included in the zodiac, because westerners think that "13" is an unlucky number, and snakes are evil animals because they seduce Adam and Eve. Do you think it's scientific to put a zodiac outside the palace just because of this? If Chinese zodiac divination is also applicable in China, then people in China don't think there is anything wrong with the number 13 at all. In China's view, snakes are not evil animals. On the contrary, people in China think that snakes are the embodiment of a god beast, because snakes shed their skins (I won't explain the details first, so I'm interested in Wikipedia). So it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Ophiuchus divination in China, but not in western theory.

There is also a precession that can explain this problem. What I'm going to say may sound incredible to you, but it's true: Aries is no longer the zodiac. If you think you are Aries, you are actually Pisces.

Why is this? This is because of precession. Precession refers to the rotation axis of the earth (this rotation axis does not actually exist, but we think it is hypothetical) to draw a circle in the universe. It takes 25,800 years to draw a circle (check Wikipedia for details, I will skip it here), and during these 25,800 years, because the position of an origin on the earth has changed relative to the celestial sphere, some stars seem to have left their original positions, plus the self-motion of the stars, so that the stars in the sky will never change again, and the astrology you see today will not be the same from tomorrow.

Closer to home, it is precisely because of precession that Aries has left its position thousands of years ago (March 2 1, which is the position of the vernal equinox). It has moved to the north of the ecliptic and left the ecliptic. The original position of Aries was filled by Pisces, and the original position of Pisces was replaced by a new constellation-South Fish. If you are an Aries and watch a lot of Aries astrology, you are completely wrong, because if this thing really exists, you are actually a Pisces, which means that everything you have seen for so many years is not allowed. Pisces, this constellation is really the zodiac, which is not reflected in western astrology, so if I was originally a Pisces, I would be a Pisces now. Where can I find the astrological book of Pisces? The answer is none. So it is clear whether this thing is credible or not.

The ancient zodiac signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo (called Virgo in astrology), Libra, Ophiuchus, Scorpio, Sagittarius (called Sagittarius in astrology), Capricorn, Aquarius (called Aquarius in astrology) and Pisces.

The modern constellations are Pisces, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Ophiuchus, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Astrology, as a spiritual support, is recognized and allowed by human society. But if you believe it without hesitation, it is really not what a modern human being should do.

If you don't understand, you can ask, hope to adopt, thank you!
