What is the constellation of February 2 1 day?

Pisces (February19 ~ March 20).

Pisces symbolizes complexity.

The symbol of Pisces is two arcs connected in series by a straight line. It looks like two fish tied together, one upstream and the other downstream.

The myth of Pisces:

Pisces is the incarnation of Aphrodite and eros.

Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and fertility. Legend has it that she was born to Dione, the daughter of Zeus and the river god Oke Cinos, but some people say that she was born from the foam of the sea when Cronus, the father of Zeus, threw Uranus's body into the sea.

Accompanied by three time goddesses and three goddesses, when she came to the Olympic Mountain, the gods were immediately fascinated by her beauty. Zeus expressed his disapproval to her many times, but she refused. So Zeus held a grudge and married her to hephaestus, an ugly and lame craftsman.

But Aphrodite fell in love with Ares and gave birth to several children with Ares. Among them, eros is her favorite son. Eros has a pair of beautiful wings on her back and often follows her mother to help her manage the love and marriage affairs between men and women.

He has a small golden bow and two kinds of sharp arrows, one is gold and the other is silver. Golden arrow is used to fix marriage. When this pair of men and women are shot by this arrow, they will have love, and the silver arrow is used to destroy love. This pair of men and women will break up when they are shot by this arrow, and people and gods will be affected by it.

One day, the inseparable mother and son were walking by the river, when suddenly a huge monster appeared in front of them, ready to run to them and attack them. Aphrodite used her quick wits. She and her son turned into two fish and dived into the river to escape.

Later, in order to commemorate this event, Athena put their fish shapes into the sky and listed them among the stars, becoming Pisces.

Extended data

The origin of western constellations:

In 270 BC, the Greek poet Aratus wrote Things, in which 47 constellations were mentioned. According to the star regions recorded in Celestial Bodies, due to precession, the Antarctic in the period described in the book is not consistent with the current Antarctic, so it can be inferred that the starry sky recorded in the book is before 2000 BC;

At the same time, the blank area of the starry sky record indicates that the observer should be near 35 to 36 north latitude. So some people think that the practice of dividing the starry sky into constellations originated from Babylon and Sumer in Mesopotamia, and the constellations of Greece and Egypt may have been introduced from this area.

In the Book of Job, several constellations such as Bear and Orion are mentioned. In the12nd century BC, the land landmarks built in the era of Nebuchadnezzar I were engraved with designs of Sagittarius, Scorpio and Ophiuchus. The ancient Greek poets Homer and hesiod also mentioned Ursa major, Orion and the Pleiades, while at the same time, Babylon recorded the zodiac in cuneiform.

In the second century, Ptolemy recorded 1022 stars in 48 constellations in his astronomical masterpiece, which is also the embryonic form of modern constellations. After that, many astronomers filled the Ptolemaic constellation with new constellations. Valle in 1603, Jahannes Hewelius in 1690, and Llakaj in 1752 have named the constellations in Nantian in two centuries.
