12 zodiac signs correct order,The zodiacThe correct order of

All of you probably know, 12 constellations correct order is:Aries、Taurus、Gemini、cancer、Leo、virgo、libra、Scorpio、Sagittarius, Capricorn,Aquarius:、Pisces.Aries, however, were from every year on March 21, until April 19.Why is Aries will row in the first?Below small make up to detailed introduction for you, the reason for 12 constellation correct order!

First of all, let's figure out what is the sign:

If we see the vast universe as a celestial sphere, the 88 constellations in the universe is the whole celestial sphere is divided into the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere.According to each sign most of the area is in the north or south in the day, known as constellation north or south respectively constellation.According to this method, the north has 28 constellation, southern constellation has 48, while 12 for the constellation of the zodiac.

However, the zodiac is what mean?The zodiac constellation is what mean?

The earth goes around the sun, after finishing a year, this phenomenon is we all know that.Revolution of the earth, look at the sun from the earth, the sun on the celestial sphere and move slowly among stars of the position, direction and the revolution of the earth in the same direction, namely from west to east, mobile is also a year for a big circle, called the annual apparent motion of the sun.The anniversary of the apparent motion path on the celestial sphere, is the ecliptic.In other words: the earth orbit plane enlarged unlimitedly and fellowship with celestial circle, is the ecliptic.

The ecliptic after 88 constellations of 13, in addition to a small part of the Ophiuchus, count from the vernal equinox is Pisces, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, cancer, Leo, virgo, libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, water bottle, collectively known as the ecliptic the zodiac.Zodiacal constellations name is after many changes, many related to myths, most name in animals.

Ecliptic notation similar to earth's equator, earth's equator on what direction with longitude division, said the starting point is the Greenwich observatory, for longitude 0 °, the east is east longitude, from 0 ° to 180 ° east longitude east longitude.To the west as the scriptures, from 0 ° to west longitude 180 ° west;East, west longitude 180 ° overlap together.The ecliptic in what direction is indicated by the symbol "longitude" and one from the east side to the west of 0 ° to 360 °, and the intersection of the zodiac and the celestial equator, vernal equinox as the starting point, longitude 0 °.Huang Daohuan celestial week of 360 °, but 12 zodiac signs on the direction of things are not all generally long, has long have short.The longest is virgo, long 44 ° on the ecliptic, is almost 1/8 of the length of the zodiac;The shortest is cancer, only 20 °.

Said earlier, the sun on the ecliptic movement, every move from west to east on the ecliptic 1 ° is less than the distance.These constellations on the ecliptic has long have short, the sun after each sign need time has long have short.For the sun's position as the standard to calculate the date, caused many inconvenience.It is introduced the concept of the zodiac.

It is generally believed that in ancient Babylon and Greece, astronomers said to the sun on the ecliptic running situation and position, through long-term practice, decided to start from the vernal equinox on the ecliptic, the ecliptic, etc can be divided into 12 segments, each segment 30 °, long known as a palace, which means the sun every month and stay in a house activities.So, 12 months of the year, the sun in turn after the 12 palace, a total of 360 °, namely one Sunday, the second year again starting from the vernal equinox, the cycle, cycle.

For the 12 "sun palace" what name?Nature is the logical reference originally the name of the 12 zodiac signs.We put the signs of the zodiac, along with their terminal degrees longitude, date of every year the sun into the palace (because the solar year has 365 days and 366 days, the sun into each palace there are about 1 day before and after the date of the change), and enter the palace of throttle, in the form of a table is introduced as follows:

Aries

The palace of the zodiac, from the ecliptic meridian 0 to 30 degrees, on March 21st after the sun will arrive at the palace.When the throttle is the vernal equinox, so the vernal equinox is known as "ram palace first point".

Taurus

The palace of the zodiac, from the ecliptic longitude line 30 degrees to 60 degrees, every year on April 20 after the sun will arrive at the palace.Thus when the throttle is grain rain.

Gemini

The third palace of the zodiac, from the ecliptic longitude 60 degrees to 90 degrees, a year after May 21st will arrive at the sun palace.Thus when the throttle is grain buds.

cancer

The 4th house of the zodiac, from the ecliptic longitude 90 degrees to 120 degrees, a year after June 22 will arrive at the sun palace.When the throttle is the summer solstice, so the summer solstice also known as "cancer palace on the first point".

Leo

Signs of the zodiac fifth house, from the ecliptic longitude 120 degrees to 150 degrees, a year after the July 23 will reach the sun palace.Thus when the throttle is great heat.

virgo

The sixth of the zodiac, from the ecliptic longitude 150 degrees to 180 degrees, a year after the August 23 will arrive at the sun palace.Thus when the throttle is stopping the heat.

libra

The 7th of the zodiac, from the ecliptic longitude 180 degrees to 210 degrees, a year after the September 24 will arrive at the sun palace.Because when the throttle is autumnal equinox, autumnal equinox also known as the first point "libra".

Scorpio

Signs of the zodiac eighth house, from the ecliptic longitude 210 degrees to 240 degrees, a year after the October 23 will arrive at the sun palace.Thus when the throttle is frost.

Sagittarius

Zodiac sign of libra and scopio) from the ecliptic longitude 240 degrees to 270 degrees, every November 22 after the sun will arrive at the palace.Thus when the throttle is light snow.

Capricorn

Tenth house of the zodiac, from the ecliptic longitude 270 degrees to 300 degrees, each year on December 22 after the sun will arrive at the palace.So at that time the solar term is the winter solstice.

Aquarius:

Signs of the zodiac eleventh house, from the ecliptic longitude 300 degrees to 330 degrees, a year after the January 20 will arrive at the sun palace.Thus when the throttle is severe cold.

Pisces

The 12th house of the zodiac, from the ecliptic longitude 330 degrees to 360 degrees, a year after the February 20 will arrive at the sun palace.Thus when the throttle is rain.

Over 2000 years ago, when the location of the signs of the zodiac and the twelve of the zodiac constellation basically one-to-one correspondence, namely ram palace and Aries, Taurus Taurus,...Pisces and Pisces.Say "basically", that is because, even though the signs of the zodiac, is named after the names of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, but, after all, each house shall be 30 long, while the constellation of the zodiac has long have short.At that time, the spring equinox in the ram, known as ram palace on the first point, also is the beginning of the sun into the ram palace first.Because palace with the basic corresponding constellation, vernal equinox is also in Aries, it is not only "Aries the first point," without this statement.

Of course, there's another sign sort:

First is Aquarius, also called Aquarius, start-stop time is on January 20 to February 18;

Second is Pisces, start-stop time is February 19 ~ 20 March;

Third is Aries, also called bootes, start-stop time for March 21 to April 19;

The 4th is Taurus, start-stop time for April on May 20, 20 ~;

Fifth is Gemini, start-stop time is from May 21 to June 21;

Starting and ending time for arrangement is cancer, 6 June 22 - July 22;

Starting and ending time for arrangement of 7 is a Leo, August 22, July 23 ~;

Arrange the eighth is virgo, also known as virgo, start-stop time is August 23 to September 22;

Starting and ending time for arrangement of 9 is a libra, September 23 to October 22;

Arrange the tenth yes Scorpio, start-stop time for October 23 ~ November 21;

Arrangement of 11 is Sagittarius, also known as Sagittarius, start-stop time is November 22 ~ 21 December;(the zodiac/astro /)

Arrangement of 12 is Capricorn, also called Capricorn, because "jie" is a breeding sheep, start-stop time for December 22 to January 19.
