Features: Over two thousand years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (180 BC–120 BC) divided the ecliptic into twelve segments to mark the position of the Sun's movement. Starting from the vernal equinox as 0 degrees, he counted every 30 degrees as a "sign," naming them after the major constellations contained within each segment at that time. These were named as Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, collectively known as the twelve zodiac signs, totaling twelve constellations. Babies born during each segment are said to exhibit certain similar characteristics, including behavioral traits and personality features. By connecting these associations, the humanity of these constellations became personified. This system of astrology has evolved and been passed down to the present day, represented by these twelve signs. However, these signs do not refer to a single "star," but rather serve as representative markers with the same names. The content of this book includes: astrological consultation, photographic secrets of the zodiac, astrological profiles, love compatibility charts for everyone, and practical dating tips, as well as discussions on zodiac signs and blood types, the interaction between blood types and zodiac signs, and zodiac rankings.
