How to arrange the zodiac?

The order of the twelve constellations is: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

The twelve constellations, the zodiac, are astrological descriptions of the twelve regions on the celestial sphere where the sun passes through the zodiac. More than 2000 years ago, Greek astronomer Baccus (called a scientist in the west, and we became immortals here) divided the zodiac into twelve sections to mark the position of the sun on the ecliptic.

The spring is divided into 0, and every 30 degrees away from the vernal equinox (that is, zero degree of the ecliptic) is a palace, and it is named after the main constellations contained in each palace at that time, which are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces in turn, which are called the zodiac.

Imperial culture

Zodiac, classified as the product of typical oriental culture, is a typical representative symbol of China culture, namely the Zodiac. Different from western astrology culture, it forms a branch chronology with ten-day stem.

Based on the twelve years of Jupiter's period of revolution, this paper determines the "age star", that is, the different influences of Jupiter on the earth, and then describes the fate of things and people on the earth.

Similar to the zodiac, the twelve divisions of the zodiac are also used as the orientation of state transformation, and the earthly branches determined by each house correspond to the middle age, month, day and hour of the trunk calendar, which leads the zodiac to say that we were born in the year of Hai and belong to pigs.
