Today’s young people often analyze the distribution of love, fortune, and personality based on constellations, which is equivalent to the modern version of "fortune telling". For example, the interpretation of Leo is bold, frank, arrogant, ambitious, and talented. Wait. Many people will set their own characteristics and future fortunes according to their constellations.
So how did the constellations come from?
is actually the constellation that the ancient Greeks imagined during stargazing.
"Ursa Major" star connection pattern
The ancient Greeks watched the stars when they were fine at night, using their imagination to connect the stars through straight lines to form a pattern, and then imagine the pattern as an animal or an object. Constellations, such as the Big Dipper, are connected in a line, and they are imagined as "Ursa Major".
"Ursa Major" Imagination Picture
How did the 12 constellations of "fortune telling" come from?
According to the observations of the ancient Greeks, they imagined 88 constellations, so why are there only 12 constellations that each person belongs to?
According to modern astronomy, the orbit of the earth around the sun, which is what we call the ecliptic, we think of it as a circle, and the plane on which this circle lies is called the ecliptic. We can imagine the zodiacal plane as a huge circular pie. The sun is located in the center of the pie. The earth revolves around the sun along the edge of the pie. According to observations from modern astronomy, there are 88 constellations. 12 constellations, crossed by the ecliptic plane. So the astrology gang imagined cutting the "round pie" of the zodiac plane into 12 pieces, and each one corresponds to one of the 12 constellations that the zodiac plane passes through. Each area is called A "house", the 12 constellations traversed by the zodiac are the 12 constellations used in astrology. So the constellations that we use to analyze personality and fortune are the 12 constellations traversed by the zodiacal plane, which are used by people who engage in astrology as tools for theoretical analysis.

If you are born in the 80s, you must have watched the cartoon "Saint Seiya" when you were a child, there are 12 gold saints , which is the so-called 12 gold house, these 12 golden saints correspond to The constellation of is actually the 12 constellations used in astrology. Now you know how the golden zodiac in this cartoon came from!
How do the constellations corresponding to different birthdays come from?
We know that everyone’s date of birth corresponds to a constellation. For example, if the birthday falls from July 23 to August 22, the corresponding constellation is Leo. So how does the constellation corresponding to the date of birth come from?
Earlier we said that the "round pie" of the zodiac plane, based on its center (the sun is at the center of the pie), is "divided" into 12 regions, each of which has a constellation. When the earth revolves around the sun, at different times, the earth is at different positions on the edge of the round pie. Look at the sun from this position at this point in time. The constellation corresponding to the "house" behind the sun is the date corresponding to this date. constellation. Is
constellation analysis credible?
According to the origin of the 12 constellations, we know that it is completely imagined. As for the meaning given to each constellation, it is also fabricated by people who engage in astrology. We know that most of the stars in the sky, visible to our naked eyes, are stars. Each star has different sizes and the distance between them is also different. The universe is vast, a constellation we see with the naked eye, because of the perspective, we feel that the stars in them are very close, but in fact they are very far apart. In other words, every constellation, the stars in it, have nothing to do with each other.
All our analysis of constellations is based on imagination giving it meaning.
So constellation analysis, we just listen to it, I believe most of us are happy. What do you think of this? Welcome to leave a message to discusss.
