The origin of the constellations:

More than 2,000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 B.C.E.), in order to indicate the position of the Sun in the ecliptic, the ecliptic is divided into twelve zones, with the equinoxes as 0 °, from the equinoxes (i.e., the zero degree of the ecliptic) counting every 30 ° as a house, and to the At that time, the major constellations contained in each house to name, in order for the Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpion, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and other palaces, known as the twelve houses of the Zodiac. Totaling twelve star groups.

Babies born at the time of the Earth's orbit through each of these houses (star groups) will always grow up with certain similar characteristics, including behavioral traits. These associations (rich imagination and creativity) were linked together to humanize these star clusters; and with the addition of mythology, they became an important part of culture (mainly Greek and Roman mythology). This set of numerology has evolved and has been passed down for at least 5,000 years, and they are represented by these twelve constellations.
