The twelve constellations are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Because the earth goes around the sun once a year, we will see the sun walk through the starry sky once a year, again and again. In order to record the positions of planets in the starry sky, the Babylonians divided the trajectory of the sun in the starry sky into 12 segments, and arranged them according to the shapes of some brighter planets in each segment.

They are named after the images in myths and legends, that is, Aries, Taurus, Gemini and other twelve constellations, and each constellation is given a unique symbol. After that, when they observe the positions of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Earth stars visible to the naked eye in the starry sky, they only need to record the time and the constellation symbols where the planets are.

Fake astrology:

Although it is simple and easy to use constellations as a tool for astrometry, its accuracy is not high. With the development of astrometry technology, this method is no longer used in subsequent observation and research. However, this once scientific tool has been "carried forward" in other people's hands, concocting a set of complicated statements that link signs such as people's personality and fate with constellations.

Many people are convinced of these statements, and even take them as guiding ideology in matters that need to be taken seriously, such as personnel arrangement and finding a partner.

Finding your "constellation" according to your date of birth is a good way of entertainment. But I want to know my future and destiny, and that is modern superstition.
