Zodiac Constellations Knowledge Base
Why did God create the Zodiac Constellations? From what I understand, Christians don't follow or practice astrology or get involved in Zodiac signs. So what was the purpose, or what is the purpose of the Zodiac Constellation? ( o _ 0 )

Which of the 12 or 13 constellations of the "zodiac" can you see in the night sky now beginning after sunset? and which is the first to appear and the last to appear? which one would be appearing at sunrise and sunset, though you are not able to see because of the light? also, do the 12 or 13 major constellations in the "Belt of the zodiac" follow the path of the Sun nearly or how or which path in the sky do they follow, which direction and how? please explain. how would this differ depending if you were in northern or souther hemisphere? would it?
Zodiac Constellations angular size? The Zodiac Constellations lie along the path of the sun which may be thought of as a great circle around us. There are 12 constellations all evenly spaced, then what angle describes their "angular size" on the sky? Its supposed to read If there are 12 constellations...etc. Its a hypothetical question that I do not understand for my astronomy class :/
Why is Cancer 'one of the most insignificant zodiac constellations'? Read here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20100324/s… Here is an excerpt of it: The sky these spring evenings presents a striking contrast between its western half, filled with the bright stars and constellations of winter, and its eastern half, with Regulus the only bright star. Mars sits in solitary splendor in Cancer, one of the most insignificant zodiac constellations, just above the plane of the Milky Way. Why is that so?
What's the history of the zodiac and personal horoscopes? My online research has shown that some constellations found in the modern Western zodiac date back 2000-4000 years whereas the personal horoscope, or using the stars to determine personality traits and a person's future, did not develop till medieval times, much after the development of the zodiac constellations. But does anyone know exactly when each of the groups of stars associated with the signs of the modern zodiac were identified and how that sits in relation to the chronological development of ideas about Zodiac signs and personality? In other words, what came first: (a) people notice that lots of people born in November act like a scorpion and therefore that pattern is found in the sky and called Scorpio or (b) the Scorpio zodiac constellation is developed for other reasons and then people born in November are said to have scorpion-like qualities? (Scorpio's just an example here.) I believe it's (b) but my husband won't believe it can't be (a) until he see exact dates. I think I need to clarify. I don't <i>care<i/> whether the zodiac or horoscopes "work" or are "real." I want to know the history. No one needs to convince me about the Bible, what I should believe, or why astrology doesn't work. I already believe it doesn't work. What I want to know is <b>very specific</b>: (a) did attributes of people born at a certain time cause the zodiac constellations to be named that way? Or (b) vice versa: did the final names and constellation shapes of the zodiac come first and then people born under that sign were later believed to have traits of that sign. A scenario of how the former could occur is this: in some town, townsfolk notice all children born in November tend to grow up to be sarcastic and say stinging words so they propagate the belief that those people are like scorpions. This belief spreads through Europe and therefore, somehow, the constellation that month is dubbed Scorpio. So, what happened, historically: scenario A or B?
how is it possible to see the same zodiac constellations in the sky all year? can anyone expain this. i am imagining the Earth spinning towards the Sun on its very very 365 day long (approximately) path around the sun and as it turns every time in direction from East to West? the zodiac belt moves across the sky every 24 hours, so that means what is interpreted as the zodiac belt is simply the stars above and below and on both sides of the Earth.???? my question is how is it able to see these same ones throughout its entire very very long 365 day path around the Sun? would it not change the view of the stars above and below and beside , ?? if this is the case? please describe and explain. how does it change? Thanks for your answers!
When we talk about the "constellations" how many of these use to be part of the 12 of the "zodiac"? and where are all of these located at in relation to the Earth and the Sun? how about the 12 of the "zodiac" ? and does this" belt" of the twelve signs zodiac go around the SUN, meaning can you see some of these constellations on the other side going around the SUN now with a telescope? which constellations or constellation (or atleast the main one) can you see in the winter sky now from Earth in the northern hemisphere? how does this change? please explain. Thanks for your answers!
How the path of the constellations of the zodiac were chosen by astrologers? and is the "Zodiac" actually this strip of constellations that make up the 12 constellations? what is another term for the path the Sun moves across the sky? why this path is considered to be important? how much within this path does the Sun travel? and how much does it waiver out of the middle of the zodiac paths? what are beliefs about the zodiac and the constellations within them? what are beliefs about the reason why people are born with similar traits depending on the constellation rising on the horizon as well as the zodiac sign the Sun rises in on that day? please explain and describe what you can. thanks for your answers!

if orion is a zodiac constellation, why can we see it for more than one season? If a constellation is a zodiac constellation of near the zodiac band It can only be seen during a specific season, or else it will be hidden by the sun or present during the day (not visible). And since Orion rises and sets, it goes east to west, it cannot be a near polar star. So it should be seasonal, but it seems that I can see it for most of the year. I live within the tropical belt.
I was born on April 24th, 1989 in Miami Florida. What is my Zodiac constellation? What would my Zodiac constellation be if I was born on the same date and month, but about 2000 years ago? I want to know because it will help a research paper i'm doing in Astrology. I meant to say Astronomy...my mistake You obviously can't read! I said that I ACCIDENTALLY wrote "astrology"!! :| last comment was for aviophage by the way
Are the 12 constellations of the zodiac evenly spread around the SUN or the EARTH? i am not sure about this, but we know that all the planets go around the SUN , and therefore would it be the SUN that you would evenly divide the 12 spaces out to be the zodiac? for example Neptune is supposedly in Aquarius now, so is the constelllation Aquarius on the opposite side of the SUN now from Earth? and if so, how can we see it hear on Earth now in January? The Earth spins but if it is in the Constellation LEO now, how are we able to see Aquarius if it is simply spinning on the TOTAL opposite side of the Solar system? and which brings up another point, how when they say the ASC sign is rising over the Eastern Horizon at the time of Birth and changes every 3 hours...what are they talking about ?? The Earth again spins in its little area depending on which constellation it is in at the moment in relation with the SUN. please describe and explain these concepts best you can. Thanks for your answers! or if i am mistaken in ALL of this about the location of the zodiac belt...is this just star galaxies that are around the EARTH and when we say that Neptune is in "Aquarius" we are simply talking about the direction from Earth to Neptune as being the constellation Aquarius? please explain what , where the zodiac belt is really in actuality.
Why does 85:1 draw attention to the Zodiac and/or constellations? 85:1 By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; (Y. Ali trans.) 85:1 CONSIDER the sky full of great constellations, (M. Asad trans.) 85:1 By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, (Picktall trans.) But Muhammad K, that did not explain why attention is drawn to this in 85:1. Here is verse you said to see: 89:5 Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand? (Y. Ali) 89:5 Considering all this - could there be, to anyone endowed with reason, a [more] solemn evidence of the truth? (M. Asad) 89:5 There surely is an oath for thinking man. (Picktall) How does that answer the question I asked?
how many constellations of the original 12 of the zodiac can you actually see on winter night in late February? and which ones would be the brightest and easiest to see? do new ones appear over the horizon every 2 hours? is this path or belt you see of these 12 the same path that the Sun will take after morning at sunrise? and how would the constellations of the original 12 of the zodiac you can see be differant the opposite time of the year in late August? please explain. btw, i know it depends on how far north you are in the northern hemispehere, but let us say roughly if you are in Europe or North America. Thanks for yoru answers!
What constellations have something to do with the element water? I am working on something and was curious what constellations were related to the element of water in some way. Please realize I already know the Zodiac ones (Aquarius, Cancer, Pisces, etc.), so I'm mostly looking for other constellations besides those. I'm looking for any culture really. ^^; No specifics here.
What do you think of the following amendments to the Western Zodiac? The Western Zodiac begins with Aries and reads counterclockwise. Do you think an improved zodiac, which begins with the sign Virgo and reads clockwise would be better since it coincides with the four seasons, four emotions, as well as the visual "movements" of the ecliptic constellations?
Why haven't the major Constellations never burned out? Why haven't constellation's such as the zodiac horoscopes star constellations and others have never burnt out? They have been around for thousands of years and have never begun to fade out? I'm just curious as to why.
Bible and the Zodiac: How many of you have actually taken a deep, hard look at Revelation and Ezekiel? In these books, four very important images are formed: That of the four creatures/chrubim which praise God... One with the face of a man (air/Aquarius), lion (fire/Leo), Ox (earth/Taurus) and Eagle (water/Scorpio – which can be represented by the Scorpion, Eagle and Serpent). These four signs are the “fixed signs” of the zodiac and represent the four elements of ancient knowledge and alchemy… These are the four elements that are combined to make everything that we know of on this planet. These are the elements known to all ancient cultures, and although there in true Christianity (esoteric), lost in traditional Christianity (exoteric). Also remember... Jesus tells the Apostles to follow the man carrying the pitcher of water (Aquarius) to the Last Supper. Follow Him to the New Age… the New Age of Christ, of the deification (theosis – an extremely Orthodox idea and term of the early Church in recognition of the divine potential of Man through our Saviour, Jesus Christ) of the human species through Jesus Christ, of the New Heaven and New Earth. In the end, this is what it all points to... Jesus Christ is the Son who sustains our spiritual life, as the Sun sustains our physical life. The ancient Sun worship of all true religions (including Christianity) – while the pagan religions worship the creation instead of the Creator (a big no no), Christianity is really no different, it also worships the Sun in a symbolic manner (although symbolic is the key phrase – as the Sun merely is representative of Jesus as the giver our True Life, as Christians in reality, worship the Creator), and that is why we worship on Sunday with the fulfillment of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. Think about it! Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, the Son, just as the Sun is the physical light of the world! The Son/Sun... in the end, Christianity is a retelling of all ancient wisdom of the ages -- warning that the Sun, while the sustainer of physical life, will also destroy it when the events of Revelation come to pass (my guess is 2012 based on Mayan end-date calendar, where time as we know it stops – the ancient Chinese I Ching also validates this date – but you never know, that’s just the most likely date we have to go on at this time). This is the end of the 26000 year Great Cycle, as depicted in one full rotation of the zodiac constellations around the night sky. December 12, 2012, is the date that our solar system, for the first time in thousands of years, will eclipse the galactic core on its plane, and this very well may be the beginning and/or cause of those events which will come to pass in Revelation. Make no mistake, they WILL pass, and also make no mistake, they will be of natural origin (although of divine happening, which happens on a cyclical basis). There is a scientific basis and truth to all in the Bible, and Revelation too. It will come to pass, whether on December 12, 2012 or at some later date. The zodiac is an ancient way that our ancestors tried to warn us of the impending disaster… there’s nothing we can do, but at least we know. The Bible tells us again, what the ancients had known for many thousands of years. Revelation is God’s warning to us, I hope you all pay heed. God bless! Gnostic Christian Universalist (of the Orthodox variety!) And yes... in most circles, the above would be considered "occult knowledge" -- although it's taken right out of the Bible itself! "Occult" is not a bad word, it simply means "hidden", and much of the ancient secret knowledge of all true religions is hidden within the Bible, and is tied into the Sacred Apostolic Tradition that is handed down from Jesus to Apostle to disciple. Tradition AND Scripture, otherwise, you are missing fully half of the story and gospel!!! Julia D... yay you! Very and all true, I was also aware of the zodiac tiles on ancient synagogues. Christianity today is so very blind to the absolute truth of God and Christianity unfortunately. I totally agree about not needing to consult astrology or any of those types of things... God tells us not to since we have a direct relationship with Him through Jesus Christ (to Christians). That is why although I have occult knowledge, I will not ever use it, because what for? Everything I do, I do directly through and with God's Presence abiding in me, and who needs anything else??? In_His_Steps... Jesus Christ Himself said that the Sabbath is made for mankind, and not mankind for the Sabbath. That to me, tells me that the Sabbath is any day we make it, as long as we have one day of rest per week, as God did. Rest is good for the soul and spirit ("all work and no play make Johnny a dull boy" eh?)... and God wants what is good for us. That is the purpose of the Sabbath, a day of our choosing for rest, not for one day to be imposed on us. Saturday was the Sabbath for the Jews... it was a part of their law. But Jesus Christ fulfilled that law with love, and allowed us to become free of its constraints.
How far is the galaxy, Andromeda, from our galaxy the milkyway? I read in a magazine called "Astromony" that some day these two galaxies will collide and form one gigantic mass of displaced stars. However, some of these stars will be smashed from their original place and fall elsewhere. I know that the Aries constellation is in the Andromeda galaxy. where is your zodiac constellation?
How does astrology work? Is it by the position of zodiac constellations, by planets or actually by our calendar and the day we born?
How did the disease cancer get it's name? I know cancer is the Latin word for crab, and so that's where the zodiac constellation got it's name- and that's how the Tropic of Cancer got IT'S name. But when were malignant tissue growths in the body first referred to as cancer, and why?
Constellations? Is there a website where I can see the actual star constellations of the zodiac signs? Thanks!
Jesus and the Zodiac? What is the connection between the Jesus myth and the constellations of the Zodiac? I've heard this mentioned recently and I can't recall ever hearing of it before.

Wisdom of the Zodiac contained and proven in the Bible? In the books of Ezekiel and Revelation, four very important images are formed: That of the four creatures/chrubim which praise God... One with the face of a man (air/Aquarius), lion (fire/Leo), Ox (earth/Taurus) and Eagle (water/Scorpio – which can be represented by the Scorpion, Eagle and Serpent). These four signs are the “fixed signs” of the zodiac and represent the four elements of ancient knowledge and alchemy… These are the four elements that are combined to make everything that we know of on this planet. These are the elements known to all ancient cultures, and although there in true Christianity (esoteric), lost in traditional Christianity (exoteric). Also remember... Jesus was the fish, who made “fishers of men” (Age of Pisces), born of a Virgin (Virgo), and tells the Apostles to follow the man carrying the pitcher of water (Aquarius) to the Last Supper. Follow Him to the New Age of Aquarius (yes, it has been dawning for a while now)… the New Age of Christ, of the deification (theosis – an extremely Orthodox idea and term of the early Church in recognition of the divine potential of Man through our Saviour, Jesus Christ) of the human species through Jesus Christ, of the New Heaven and New Earth. Yes, His atonement is accounted for, for this current, godless Age (Pisces), where His blood covers our sins since we are not capable of being responsible for our own. However, in the next Age of Aquarius, where we are called to realize our divine nature, once one puts on Christ, becomes a partaker of the divine nature, becomes responsible for their own salvation (work it out with fear and suffering as Paul said!). Thus, Jesus’ blood covers us in the Age, but not the next Age… In the end, this is what it all points to... Jesus Christ is the Son who sustains our spiritual life, as the Sun sustains our physical life. The ancient Sun worship of all true religions (including Christianity) – while the pagan religions worship the creation instead of the Creator (a big no no), Christianity is really no different, it also worships the Sun in a symbolic manner (although symbolic is the key phrase – as the Sun merely is representative of Jesus as the giver our True Life, as Christians in reality, worship the Creator), and that is why we worship on Sunday with the fulfillment of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ.

constellation cancer (ITS A ZODIAC SIGN NOT THE CANCER YOU DIE FROM!)? are there any nebulaes in the constelation cancer? please it is very important ii need to know the answer and only the correct answer its for my science project so if you dnt no it then please do not bother answering or if you just want 2 points you could just say UHH SRRY DNT KNOW.
ok easyyyyy astrology Q here ok do answer dont let these 10 points slip off? Q: My astronomy professor said that due to the Sun’s cyclical orbit around this arm of the Milky Way, the Earth’s perspective regarding the Sun’s apparent transit through the heavens has changed since 2,000 years ago when the “science” of astrology was formulated. As a result of this quarter-turn shift, the Sun is no longer moving through the same constellations of the zodiac as it was before, and calculations are off by one constellation. Thus, instead of being a """scorpio""", am I actually a """Libra"""?
Which statement about the ecliptic is false? A. The moon can never be on the ecliptic. B. The annual motion of the Sun on the sky traces out a path on the celestial sphere known as the ecliptic. C. The ecliptic can be thought of as a projection of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun onto the celestial sphere. D. The ecliptic and the celestial equator intersect at two points known as equinoxes. E. The constellations through which the ecliptic passes are collectively know as the zodiac.
What is your real zodiac sign? The thing with this question relates to astronomy. Two thousand years ago the constellations of the zodiac were in the position that the people are designated today. There is a problem with this system - specifically because of precession (the shift of the earth's pole that takes 26,000 years) moving away from polaris (the north star). Now due to this movement the earth north pole points at a slightly different direction that it did 2000 years ago. I always thought that I was a leo but I am actually a cancer due to this. There is also a 13th zodiac sign that was left out known as Ophiuchus or the "Snake bearer" because of the number 13's illustrious history. Some december people out there might be this. However since the change of pole is only slight some people might be born early enough not to be changed to the next sign over. Would you be willing to find out if you are in fact a different sign or even the "Snake Bearer."
What happens during the apparent retrograde motion of a planet? a. The planet appears to move eastward with respect to the stars over a period of many nights. b. The planet moves backward through the sky. c. The planet moves backward in its orbit around the Sun. d. The planet moves through constellations that are not part of the zodiac. e. The planet rises in the west and sets in the east.
Its proven here Zodiac signs are all wrong - how come many dont know this ? Earth rotate in the side way ( east to west ) and as it go around the sun it also slowly rotate on its axix ( from top to bottom ) , this rotation on its axix takes almost 2000 years to make one full turn which is called by the cosmologist as one constellation. After one full constellation every position , every dirction changes profoundly relative to how everything were in the beginning of the constellation. Now the logics ::::::: Zodiac sign were created by ancient astrologist and spiritual scientist. It was created almost 2000 years ago. Today at that time frame gap , earth already completed one full constellation upon which all the directions, path , positions and the system it self have all changed relative to the sun. My question is:: someone who beleive this zodiac system might say .....he is a LEO because on the moment he was born the sun was at LEO. But today after one constellation a LEO can actually be LIBRA dja1a , I didi my research well and strong enough. Besides Discovery channell reasonly have one show on this an a professor of astronomical science who spend years on zodiacs and planetary influences told the same constellation error logics !!
Can anyone tell me any good books about the13 Zodiac Sun Signs? I'm trying to avoid poor information brought on the following of the 12 zodiac astrological sun signs. The constellations themselves do not follow equal 30ish day intervals. They're more like: Pisces 2 Mar-18 Apr. Aries 19 Apr-13 May. Taurus14 May-19 Jun. Gemini 20 Jun-20 Jul. Cancer 21 Jul-9 Aug. Leo 10 Aug-15 Sept. Virgo 16 Sept-30 Oct. Libra 31 Oct-22 Nov. Scorpius 23 Nov-29 Nov. Ophiuchus 30 Nov-17 Dec. Sagittarius 18 Dec-18 Jan. Capricornus 19 Jan-15 Feb. Aquarius 16 Feb-11 Mar. -This all apparently is the correct Sun Sign Zodiac and I am interested in learning more of them. If no book exists, then I want to know more about Ophiuchus; does it's new found [aka. old found] presence in the zodiac change the known birthstones order?
