Why do girls believe in constellations?

In ancient times, in order to facilitate navigation and observe astronomical phenomena, people connected the scattered stars in the sky through imagination. Half of them were named in ancient times, and the naming method was based on the myths and forms of ancient civilizations (including the myths and epics of Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt and Greece). The other half (mostly in the night sky in the southern hemisphere) was named only in modern times, and is often named after navigation instruments.

In ancient times, because of different regions, the way to see the starry sky was different! Now the world divides the sky into 88 regions and 88 constellations according to the constellation map.

The "constellation" we usually say refers to the "sun constellation"; That is, people on the earth are the center, and at the same time we can see which constellation the sun is in orbit (Greek zodiac: the circle made by animals, also known as the "zodiac"), so we can say what constellation that person is.

More than 2000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190 ~ 120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments, with spring divided into zero, and every 30 degrees from the vernal equinox (that is, the zero degree of the ecliptic) as a palace, taking the main constellations contained in each palace at that time. Babies born when the earth moves to every bisector (constellation) will always have some similar characteristics when they grow up, including behavioral characteristics and personality characteristics. Connect these associations (rich imagination and creativity) in series to make the humanity of these constellations concrete; It also adds the color of myth and becomes an important part of culture (mainly Greek and Roman mythology).

This set of numerology has been developed and circulated for at least five thousand years, represented by these twelve constellations respectively. But these constellations do not represent a certain "star", but can only be regarded as "representative symbols of the same name".

The starry night is divided according to the Gregorian calendar:

Aries (03/2 1-04/ 19)

Taurus (04/20-05/20)

Gemini

Cancer (22 June 2006-22 July 2007)

Leo (07/23-08/22)

Virgo (08/23-09/22)

Libra (09/23- 10/23)

Scorpio (10/24-11/22)

Sagittarius (11/23-12/21)

Capricorn (12/22-0119)

In China, the word superstition is often abused, many beautiful things are often ridiculed as "superstition", and interest in life disappears.

Superstition refers to persistent belief in absurd theories or unproven assumptions. Superstition and science must not be linked (these two things are not dual), and the simple formula "whatever is unscientific is superstition" cannot be applied. In fact, many experiences that have not been scientifically verified are valid. For example, "the moon is dazzled and the wind blows, and the foundation is moist and silent" does not belong to science, but it can guide life. Morality doesn't need scientific proof either-its necessity and rationality can't be scientifically proved. Obviously, it is not superstition to believe in the power of morality and that morality can make life better. Science is definitely not the whole of life. On many occasions, we must use rational and irrational means to understand the world, so as to adjust our lives and fill the "vacuum" (scientific rational thinking fails in the "vacuum"). Constellations and zodiac signs are just a trivial filler. Fate is in a "vacuum" zone, and its face can't be seen by conventional methods, so people make fun of it or play games.

Constellation and Zodiac are a game about birth time. Constellation and Zodiac respectively associate birthdays and birth years with constellations and animals, which have produced some cultural and social significance. The constellation is western, while the zodiac is local. As a kind of culture, constellation and zodiac generally belong to folk customs.
