Zodiac Constellations. The Non-Veracity of Horoscope
The Zodiac is a belt of stars comprising of 12 constellations located near the ecliptics in the celestial sphere. The Latin names of Zodiac constellations with their meaning in English given inside braces are Aries (Ram), Taurus (Bull), Gemini (Twins), Cancer (Crab), Leo (Lion), Virgo (Virgin), Libra (Balance), Scorpius (Scorpion), Sagittarius (Archer), Capricorn (Goat), Aquarius (Water bearer) and Pisces (Fishes). The following figure shows all constellations contained in the Zodiac Belt.
The combination in positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars in the Zodiac constellations is misused by certain individuals (astrologers) who claim to know the future of people by "reading" the hidden messages these celestial bodies reveal to humanity through their alignment in the sky. They have invented the "12 Zodiac Signs" that divide people into 12 groups according to their birthday. Astrologers claim that the fate of people is related to the position of stars in the sky. Obviously, such claims are total nonsense, as no sound mind can accept the idea that the fate of humans is related to the position of celestial bodies. Astrology (the pseudo-science that deals with the relationship between humans future and celestial bodies) has no scientific base and the term "astrology" has nothing to do with astronomy - the science dealing with the study of celestial bodies.
