How does the zodiac match the constellations?

It's difficult to match the zodiac with the constellation, because there are 12 zodiac signs every 12 years, while there are 12 constellations in a year, which means that each zodiac sign can be divided into 12 constellations, which is basically meaningless.

The origin of the zodiac is related to animal worship. According to the Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Shuihudi, Hubei Province and Fangmatan, Tianshui, Gansu Province, there was a relatively complete zodiac system in the pre-Qin period. The earliest handed down literature recorded the same Chinese zodiac as the modern one, and it was Lun Heng written by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Constellation is an indispensable part of astrology and a group of stars in the sky. Since ancient times, human beings have associated three or five stars with their mythical figures or artifacts, which are called "constellations". Constellation is a means to determine the orientation of the sky in almost all civilizations and is widely used in the field of navigation. The division of constellations is completely artificial, and different civilizations have different divisions and names.

Constellation originated in the west, which refers to the explanation of psychological activities. It is a kind of divination behavior that people correspond to a constellation according to different birth dates. People in each constellation have different personalities, and people analyze and hint according to the personalities and fortune represented by these constellations.
