What is the constellation on the fourth day of April?

April 4th is Aries. Aries is one of the zodiac signs. Although it is not very noticeable, Aries is very famous in ancient Greece because the ancient vernal equinox is located in Aries. Now, due to precession, the vernal equinox has moved to Pisces. Aries is called Aries in Japan. Influenced by it, the name Aries also exists in China and Chinese areas.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, located in the southwest of Taurus and the east of Pisces. Every year from June 5438 to mid-February at 8: 00, Aries is above our heads.

The four stars Pegasus and Andromeda in the autumn sky make up a big box. Draw a straight line from the two stars in the north of the box and extend it to the east for one and a half times, and you can see Aries. The two brightest stars are the two horns of Aries.

Although Aries is unremarkable, it is also the zodiac, so its position in astronomy is still very important. The vernal equinox was in Aries before 2000, and now it has moved to Pisces. Every April 18 to May 14, the sun runs in Aries, and the solar terms such as Grain Rain and Changxia on the ecliptic are all in this constellation.

Extended data:

In an ancient and distant country, the king and queen divorced because of their incompatible personalities and married another woman. Unfortunately, the new queen was born jealous and couldn't stand the king's love for a pair of children left by his ex-wife, so an evil plot gradually formed in her mind.

Spring has come, it is the season of sowing and farming. The new queen will send the fried wheat to unsuspecting farmers all over the country. Of course, no matter how watered and fertilized, mature wheat can't germinate. The farmer who was kept in the dark was very confused.

At this time, the new queen spread rumors about wheat, claiming that wheat could not germinate because the country was cursed, and all the cursed people were because of the evil thoughts of the prince and princess, which caused the wrath of heaven and led to the punishment of the gods for the country.

Hearing this, the simple-minded farmer, oh, my God! Oh, come on! Because of the evil prince and princess, the whole country will fall into the abyss of poverty and hunger. What a terrible thing!

Soon, all over the country, men and women, old and young, unanimously demanded that the king must execute the prince and princess, so that the country could untie the curse, calm the wrath of heaven, reap the fruits of the people's hard work and restore the country's stability and prosperity in the past.

Although the king was reluctant, in order to calm the public's anger, he had to reluctantly agree to people's demands and prepare to execute the princess and prince in order to gain the people's trust. The news reached the birth mother of the prince and princess. Of course, she was surprised and scared, so she quickly turned to Zeus for help. Zeus certainly knew that the queen had made the ghost, so he promised to help.

On the day of execution, a ram with long golden hair suddenly appeared in the sky, saving the prince and his brother and sister. This ram accidentally let his sister fall into the sea and died while flying across the sea.

Later, in order to reward this brave but careless ram, Zeus hung it high in the sky, which is today's Aries.
