The credibility of the thirteenth constellation

The word zodiac comes from the Greek zodiakos, which means zoo. In the eyes of the Greeks, constellations are made up of various animals, which is the origin of the names of the twelve constellations. In astronomy, the orbit of the sun around the earth with the earth as the center is called the ecliptic. The width of the ecliptic is 16 degrees, 360 degrees around the earth. The ecliptic plane includes the orbits of all planets except Pluto, including constellations. There is exactly one constellation every 30 degrees, a total of twelve constellations, called "Zodiac".

Some people say that Ophiuchus is the thirteenth constellation in astronomy, but the zodiac is about astrology, so Ophiuchus is not credible. It is also said that Ophiuchus is a new constellation and should be credible.

Of course, there are also many constellations in the zodiac. Whether Ophiuchus is the thirteenth constellation is still a mystery. A new constellation algorithm circulating on the Internet:

Capricorn: 0 1-20 ~ 02- 16

Aquarius: 02-16 ~ 03-11

Pisces: 03-11~ 04-18

Aries: 04- 18 ~ 05- 13

Taurus: 05- 13 ~ 06-2 1

Gemini: 06-2 1 ~ 07-20

Cancer: 07-20 ~ 08- 10

Leo: 08- 10 ~ 09- 16

Virgo: 09- 16 ~ 10-30

Libra:10-30 ~11-23

Scorpio:11-23 ~11-29

Ophiuchus:11-29 ~12-17

Sagittarius:12-17 ~ 01-20

It can be seen that in the new division, Scorpio has only 6 days (shortened by about 24 days) and Sagittarius has 35 days (extended by about 7 days). Obviously, this division is unreasonable. Aries: The first sign of the zodiac. The sun comes to this house around March 2 1 every year, and the solar term is the vernal equinox.

The vernal equinox is also called "the first point of Aries Palace".

Taurus: The second house of the zodiac. Every year around April 20th, the sun comes to this home, and the solar term is Grain Rain.

Gemini: The third house of the zodiac. The sun comes to this palace around May 2 1 every year, when the solar terms are full.

Cancer: The fourth house of the zodiac. Every year around June 22nd, the sun will come to this palace. At that time, the solar term was the summer solstice, so the summer point was also called "the first point of Cancer Palace".

Leo: The fifth house of the zodiac. Every year around July 23, the sun comes to this house, and the solar term at that time was great summer heat.

Virgo: The sixth house of the zodiac. The sun comes to this palace around August 23 every year, when the solar term is summer.

Libra: The seventh house of the zodiac. Every year around September 24th, the sun will come to this palace. At that time, the solar term was the autumnal equinox, so the autumnal equinox was also called "the first point of Libra Palace".

Scorpio: The eighth house of the zodiac. The sun comes to this house around 10 every year. The solar term at that time was the first frost.

Sagittarius: The ninth house of the zodiac. The sun comes to this house around165438+1October 22nd every year. The solar term at that time was light snow.

Capricorn: The tenth house of the zodiac. The sun comes to this palace on February 22, 65438 every year. The solar term at that time was the winter solstice. Therefore, the winter solstice is also called "the first point of Capricorn Palace".

Aquarius: The eleventh house of the zodiac. The sun comes here around 65438+1October 20th every year. The solar term at that time was the great cold.

Pisces: The twelfth house of the zodiac. Every year from March 12 to April 18, the sun runs in Pisces, and the vernal equinox and Qingming are in Pisces.

Obviously, if Ophiuchus is added, the relationship between 12 constellation and China solar terms will be confused. 1. Ophiuchus, the thirteenth constellation, did not appear in the astrological news of major constellation websites at home and abroad.

2. Constellation 12 is divided into four genera: wind direction, water phase, soil phase and fire phase. Each animal sign has three constellations. Now astrology has not classified Ophiuchus into which genus.

3. The constellation 12 has its own symbols, while Ophiuchus has only Latin abbreviations and no symbols.

It can be seen that astrology does not recognize Ophiuchus as 13 constellation.
