Can constellations really determine a person's fate?

I often read some information about constellations on the Internet and read books about constellations in bookstores. In the self-introduction among young people, there are unconsciously more introductions to their own constellations. Nowadays, the constellation theory has actually penetrated into every corner of young people's lives. A few days ago, a friend asked me if I believed in constellations, and I really didn't know how to answer. Maybe, believe it even if you know it's unbelievable. Yes, knowing it is not credible. Constellation, in the astronomical sense, is just a visual effect. Our ancestors looked up at the stars with reverence. After watching it for a long time, you will naturally connect some stars that are very close together, and give the image of your life to these connected stars, so there is a constellation. Because they have the image of Libra in their lives, and there are just six stars in the sky connected into a Libra, so there is Libra. Because there are virgins in their lives, and there are just sixteen stars in the sky that connect into a virgin, there is a virgin constellation ... here, our ancestors just made a simple division of the starry sky overhead. Below, a deeper connection has emerged. A person's fate is as mysterious to our ancestors as the starry sky overhead. They bowed their heads to understand their mysterious fate and looked up to understand the mysterious starry sky overhead, so the two mysteries collided and sparked. On the premise of geocentric theory, there are 12 constellations on the ecliptic, and the sun revolves around the earth on the ecliptic. So in a specific month, the sun will always be in a specific constellation on the ecliptic, so people born in that month will be given that constellation. Next, we have to sincerely admire our ancestors. They realize that a person's fate depends on his character. Then, each constellation is given a different personality. In this process, factors such as global climate change have also been integrated. For example, when the sun is in Leo, the northern hemisphere is in midsummer, so Leo is given the personality it should have in midsummer; When the sun is in Libra, the northern hemisphere is in late autumn, so Libra is endowed with the character of late autumn ... At this point, personality determines fate and constellation determines personality, and this mysterious connection is established. Of course, in the later period, ancient astrologers developed Venus influence theory, Mars influence theory and so on, which made this system more complicated. Through this analysis, it is not difficult to see that constellation determinism stems from people's mysterious worship of nature and themselves. The life of the ancients was limited, and so was their vision. Therefore, such a theory was reasonable in that limited era. Today, Copernicus has completely shattered the geocentric theory on which constellation theory depends, and modern astronomy can also prove that two stars in the same constellation can be far apart. It seems that the constellation theory should be completely thrown into the trash can. However, what we see is that young people still have great enthusiasm for constellation determinism, and some media hype has made this field more and more popular. Why is this? I said, we prefer to believe. Living in this modern world, each of us has learned scientific knowledge and humanistic knowledge unimaginable to the ancients, and has unimaginable vision of the ancients, but what we don't understand most is still our hearts. It is not uncommon that a person cannot accurately describe his true personality. People are different from animals because they have self-awareness. Pascal said that "all human dignity lies in thinking", so as human beings, we can't help pointing the object of thinking at ourselves. At this time, even living in modern times, we find ourselves so powerless. We can't see through our true character by our own wisdom, because our true character is hidden too deeply. We need help. Help comes from the stars. We know that all this is not credible, but there must always be a plane on which we can sum up our personality, or "understand" our personality, and summarize and analyze our behavior and interpersonal relationships on this plane. This is always more practical than infinite emptiness. This forms the first pillar of constellation theory. In existence, we always have a strong sense of belonging, that is, we all want to belong to a certain group of people. Constellation system, in its own way, forms a special group classification that transcends blood relationship, geographical relationship and professional relationship, and endows us with a special sense of belonging based on constellation personality. This is the second pillar of constellation theory. With these two pillars, and put on the coat of fashion, constellation theory reappears in our times. In our time, I prefer to believe that constellation theory is essentially a tool for psychological adjustment. At this point, everything seems clear. So, what should we do with the constellation? Again, believe it when you know it's not credible. Because of my reason, I know it is not credible; Because of my sensibility, I still believe. The poet Xu Zhimo wrote: "A cloud can't be taken away by waving sleeves." He didn't know there was no cloud in his sleeve, but he still wrote such a poem. We all know that the constellation theory is not credible, but we still believe it because it is a poetic letter. It depends on your attitude anyway.
