I believe that many people have more or less understood the knowledge of constellations, such as the basic ones such as what constellation was born in a few months, and then the more advanced ones such as the air sign and the earth sign, ascending, and entering the palace. Zodiac signs, sometimes can judge a person's approximate personality traits, and some boys and girls will also see if the two zodiac signs match. When the state is not good, I will also see if the constellation has been water retrograde recently to adjust my state. Sometimes the constellation is like fortune telling, seeking Buddha, born under the national flag and growing up in the spring breeze, we believe in science, we are not blindly superstitious, these are the main comfort.

Origin of the 12 zodiac signs.
About 3,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Lianghe Valley divided the sky of the zodiac (the trajectory of the sun in a year as seen from the earth) into 12 constellations in order to distinguish the stars in the sky. These are the first 12 zodiac signs. The ancestors believed in the gods, and when great events occurred, visions of the starry sky occurred, which were all notices from the gods to people. Before people do great things, they do astrology, and that's when people ask God's opinion.
In the 6th century B.C., Babylonian scholars divided the ecliptic into 12 equal parts, that is, 12 houses. The 12th house corresponds to the 12th month. In the 2nd century B.C., astronomer Ptolemy absorbed the knowledge of constellations from his predecessors and compiled the "Supreme Treatise", which sorted out 48 constellations and 1,028 stars. This is where the names of the 12 constellations we now call come from.
Most of the protagonists described in the 12 zodiac signs are connected to Greek mythology. There is an entangled story behind the name of a constellation.
