👦🏻What a fantastic night for stargazing! Look at that winter triangle formed by stars of Canis Major, Canis Minor and Orion!
👩🏻 Haven't heard of these constellations… However, it's my birthday month! Any chance to look for Aquarius?

Ancient people connects the star-studded sky as with lines to form constellations with their imagination and assigned characters and stories to them. The Earth's rotation and revolution around the Sun leads to the pattern of sunrise and set and repetitive patterns of stars. The twelve zodiac signs are a part of the 88 star constellations in Western astronomy but these twelve astrological signs are located in the Zodiac, that is the path of the Sun in the sky. The signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces. Other than that, the Sun passes through Ophiuchus too!

Your sign is determined by the location of the Sun when you are born – at the time when Astrology was originated, the Sun sat at Aquarius in late January, that is why people are classified as Aquarius when their birthday lies at that time. With axial precession, the Sun in late January in the 21st century is now at Capricornus, which is next to Aquarius. As they are outshone by the Sun, they aren't visible around your birthday, you have to wait till summer to see them!
