The "Constellations of the Zodiac" or more commonly known as the zodiac signs have always fascinated believers and non believers at some point in their lives. Usually people use them to predict the future, destinations and even the weather. But very few people know where did this originate? And how are linked to astronomy?, then answer these questions:
The origin of the signs of the zodiac are believed to have come from Babylon and Egypt, and was in the latter where the term to propagate around the world, and where they began to lay the foundations of astrology today.
Zodiac signs are representations of the constellations, which are a set of stars that appear close in the sky due to the perspective that gives us his view from the ground. The constellations are associated with classical figures of animals, mythological characters and objects, and vary between peoples and historical periods. Classical zodiacal constellations are 12.
But if we observe the earth and the moon from this equilibrium point as the center, reveals an interesting astronomical fact, the earth and moon are in constant opposition to each other, each star describes a circle around this point of equilibrium: the landmakes a small, slow movement and the moon a more rapidmotion, and all this while at the same time, this period is repeated exactly in a tropical year twelve times, that is, the earthand moon for twelve revolutions exact around that point of equilibrium and thereby determine the twelve signs of the Zodiac
In this equilibrium point are the three attractions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, to say exactly the three astrological signifiers of life.
