Features: Over two thousand years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (180 BC–120 BC) divided the zodiac into twelve segments to mark the position of the Sun's movement along the ecliptic. Starting from the vernal equinox at 0 degrees, each segment spans 30 degrees, named after the major constellations contained within each segment at that time. These are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, collectively known as the twelve signs of the zodiac, comprising twelve constellations. Babies born during the Earth's transit through each segment are believed to exhibit certain similar characteristics as they grow up, including behavioral traits and personality features. By connecting these associations, these constellations are personified. This system of astrology has evolved and been passed down to the present day, represented by these twelve signs. However, these constellations do not refer to a single "star" but are merely "representative markers with the same name." The content of this book includes: astrological consultations, photographic secrets of the zodiac, astrological profiles, love indices for everyone, and practical love tips, as well as topics like zodiac and blood type, the interaction between blood type and zodiac, and zodiac rankings.
