Constellations are named after animals and mythical figures.

In astrology, constellations refer to twelve equal regions on the ecliptic. Western astrology believes that the celestial phenomena reflect and dominate human activities according to the principle of ascending and descending, so the twelve constellations represent twelve basic personality forms or emotional characteristics. It tries to explain people's character and destiny by birthplace, birth time and celestial position. Constellations are named after animals, mythical figures and Greek history. There are countless stars in the sky, bright and crystal clear. In order to identify stars conveniently, ancient astronomers divided the universe into many regions and named these regions after people, animals and substances in ancient Greek mythology. These areas are constellations. So many constellations have beautiful fairy tales. For example, the story of Aolaiwen, the hero, who was shot dead by his beloved moon goddess (Orion), the story of Gemini's inseparable life and death (Gemini) and so on! There are 88 constellations in the whole day, and only the constellations that can be seen in the northern hemisphere are related to ancient Greek classics. Constellations such as carina, compass, easel and clock, which can only be seen in the southern hemisphere, are mostly named by navigators according to the equipment on board, so there are no fairy tales in these constellations.
