What do the twelve constellations mean?

In western astrology, constellation 12 is synonymous with the orientation of the universe. When a person is born, the position of each constellation on the ecliptic shows a person's innate character and talent. Zodiac 12 symbolizes the psychological level and reflects a person's behavior. So the ecliptic is divided into 12 constellation, which is called 12 constellation.

In western astrology, the zodiac (the zodiac) is an equal area that describes the zodiac artificially divided and moves with the neutral point (inconsistent with the actual constellation position), and is mathematically divided into twelve 30 sectors, which are regarded as the zodiac signs in the field of astrology. Starting from vernal equinox (one of the intersections between the ecliptic and the equator), it is also called the first point of Aries Palace.

Modern scientists generally believe that western astrology is pseudoscience. They call the interval of the twelve meridians, which has nothing to do with the actual constellation, as a constellation, and take the twelve meridians as the starting point of the "constellation". Western astrology is usually divided into two schools: the pseudo-star school and the middle-aged spring school. The pseudo-stellar school is based on each equal time point of the Chinese spring distribution plus 25.5 days, which has nothing to do with the true sidereal year or sidereal time.

In addition, Ophiuchus also passes through the zodiac, but it is not in the zodiac used in astrology. The definition of the zodiac in astrology only refers to the twelve equal parts of the zodiac, which is different from the zodiac in astronomy. After the International Astronomical Union standardized the constellation boundary in 1928, there were 13 constellations on the ecliptic.
