Constellations of the zodiac in the order of their visiting the sun - from ancient history to our days

Starry sky from ancient times attracted people inexplicable magic and majestic charm. A myriad of stars with their mysterious radiance attracted the eyes of those who pray and dream, suffer and seek knowledge. To Orient in the starry sky, people united the stars in the constellations and gave them names. During the year the Earth turns around the Sun. Living on it it seems that this Sun is moving in the sky, alternating between moving from one constellation to another. If you look at the astronomical atlas, you can see that the number of constellations in which the Sun enters along the ecliptic (the circle of the celestial sphere, along which the Sun moves during the year) is 12, as well as months in the year. This belt of constellations is the Zodiac. Many zodiacal constellations and signs of the zodiac are called animal names, tk. In ancient times they were invented by shepherds, hunters and seafarers.

Why do not the signs of the zodiac coincide with the constellations

It is customary to start reading the zodiac signs from the point of the vernal equinox, namely on March 22. As it is also called, the "point of the ram". Aries and the constellations of the zodiac following them in the order of their visiting by the sun coincided with the same constellations in the sky (although the boundaries of the constellations are not clearly defined and are considered conditional). However, century after century, during more than three thousand years of history of development of astronomy, due to the displacement of the earth's axis, an error of about 1 degree was accumulated for every 72 years. The accumulated error is such that now the position of the Sun and stars does not correspond to the initially defined dates. Because of this in the lives of ordinary people often happen. Everyone will easily answer who he is by the sign of the zodiac. But, here's the ill luck, it may turn out that Leo is not a Lion at all, but a Cancer by a horoscope, and a man who considered himself an Aquarius all his life turns out to be Capricorn.

Characteristics of signs

Consider alternately the constellations of the zodiac in the order they are visited by the Sun.

The constellation of Aries, which was the first to visit the Sun at the time of Greek astronomy, consists of stars of the 2nd-5th magnitude. The main star of Hamal was considered navigational. This constellation is named after the mythical Aries with the golden fleece that the Argonauts were looking for.

Taurus. This is a great constellation, where Aldebaran is the brightest star. Around it are the star clusters of the Hyades and the Pleiades, and there is also a crab nebula. The constellation of Taurus among the peoples of the ancient world was recognized as the most important. Many revered the bull, in Egypt there was a bull Apis, considered sacred, and in Greece - the Minotaur.

Further for Taurus, if we consider the constellations of the zodiac in the order of their visit by the Sun, follow the Gemini. The head of Gemini in the sky is marked by two stars Castor and Pollux. Their name was given to the stars in honor of the sons of Zeus, the fearless Argonauts of the Dioscuri. The twin brothers patronized the sailors caught in the storm.

Cancer in the sky is subtle. This constellation used to have the time of the summer solstice, after passing through the peak point, it was as if "pent-up" back.

The lion is a symbol of fire, strength and courage. The luminosity of Regulus (the brightest star of this constellation) is 150 times higher than the solar one. A ferocious lion was associated with a fierce summer heat.

If further to trace, in what order the Sun is visited by the constellation of the zodiac, the Leo is followed by the constellation of the Virgin. Her picture was drawn with an ear or a rod of Mercury in her hands. It is considered a symbol of the origin of life.

Libra, a small constellation with a double star, as if counterbalanced in antiquity day and night, tk. The autumnal equinox was held for a time when the Sun was in this sign.

Scorpio in the sky looks very beautiful, in this constellation there are often new stars. The opinion of astrologers is that Scorpio is the most ominous sign.

Centaur Heron, according to ancient mythology, was the creator of the first heavenly sphere, where he took his place and himself. But his cunning way ahead of Centaur Krotos, taking someone else's place. Sagittarius is afraid of even the Scorpion, on which the bow of the centaur was pointed.

Constellation Capricorn is considered the ruler of the waters and ruler of the storms. According to legend, a goat-legged god named Pan, scared of Typhon, dived into the water. There he grew a fish tail.

Going further and studying the constellations of the zodiac in the order of their visit by the Sun, you can see that behind Capricorn in the sky is Aquarius. In Egypt in ancient times, the constellation of Aquarius could be clearly seen in the days when the water level in the Nile rose above all. It was believed that the god of water overturns a huge bucket into the river.

The constellation of Pisces in the sky is in the northern hemisphere. Across the border of this constellation, the Sun was crossing the time when rich fishing began.

Making Horoscopes

One way to anticipate events is to compose a horoscope. It is based on an astrological map, on which the constellations of the zodiac are reflected in the order of their visit by the Sun. The solution of the astrologer's tasks depends on visiting each house by the planets or the Moon, starting with the passing of the brightest first star and ending with the last one. It is this order of influence of constellations through the moon and the planet that allows to take into account the changes that are taking place. Although the sign itself often acts as a combination of encoded messages.
