Constellation theory includes a series of disciplines such as nature, history, geography and astronomy. Every successful astrologer is a "small encyclopedia"! Some people doubt the constellation and think it is equivalent to pseudoscience. In fact, the development of astrology is relatively mature now, and many constellation fans do a lot of exchanges about constellation knowledge every year! Some astronomical phenomena are also explained through communication, which benefits many people who are still blind to astronomical phenomena and constellation knowledge! There are also many fortune tellers who give many suggestions to people's daily life. It can be said that the constellation has changed people's life! That's why so many people love astrology so much!
Constellation theory originated two thousand years ago. At that time, the Greeks began to divide the whole celestial body into 12 parts from the vernal equinox on March 2 1 2, which was called 12 palace. When you were born, the sun was in Aries, so you are Aries and the sun is in Pisces, so you are Pisces.
However, this algorithm has two problems. First, the star palace is counted from the vernal equinox, but the earth is rotating and unstable like a gyro. It will swing, so the annual vernal equinox is not fixed. According to the earth's rotation, if the vernal equinox has retreated to Pisces. What will this lead to? Even now, Aries Palace is not Aries, and the sun was not in Aries when you were born. You have used the horoscope for a long time, but you have no idea that you are not Aries but Pisces. The second question is that the constellation is actually a kind of astrology, but according to this industry, the time of a person's birth is controversial. Some astrologers think it is from the time when a person becomes a fertilized egg, while others think it is from the time when the umbilical cord is cut. Different algorithms, you belong to different constellations.
Secondly, the ancients could see seven stars, so ancient fortune-telling would be based on these seven stars. But suddenly something was wrong. Uranus was discovered in 178 1 year, Neptune was discovered in 1846, and Pluto was discovered later. Astrology believes that every visible planet in the solar system has an influence on people, so every time a new planet is discovered, it should be put into the constellation system. So far, there are more than 200,000 asteroids. How can I put it in? In fact, 70% of astrological research was done after 1975, and the main purpose was to entertain the public.
In addition, people who believe in horoscopes especially believe that it can predict marriage and love. It is said that Scorpio and Pisces are particularly well matched, and Aquarius and Cancer conflict. However, in 2007, there was a study by the University of Manchester in England, which counted more than 20 million married couples in England and Wales. It is found that no two constellations are absolutely matched and no two constellations are absolutely unworthy. Basically, which seat is the same as which seat, the marriage rate and divorce rate are similar. Scientists also conducted an investigation. In the same city, people born five minutes apart have no similarities in personality and fate.
Then why do some people think the constellations are accurate? In fact, it is very simple, that is, Barnum effect. People tend to think that a general description of their personality is very consistent with themselves. There is a famous experiment in the history of constellations. A psychologist in France advertised in a newspaper that there are now astrologers who tell fortune for free. As long as you send your horoscope, I will send you the fortune-telling results. As a result, 80% people said it was too accurate. But what did he send to everyone? Psychoanalysis of a famous murderer.
