Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the twelve signs most people know about astrology. These signs are the 12 constellations of the zodiac. Astrology is the study of the correlation between the stars and the planets and its influence of human lives. The position of the Sun, stars, moon and planets at the time of people’s birth is perceived to shape their personality, affect their relationships, and predict their life. While some believe astrology is a superstitious belief because it is not considered a real science. More open minded souls such as myself conceive that most people do not consider all of the aspects that come along with astrology. The Babylonians are typically…
I have chosen the Andromeda constellation as my favorite because I have always loved the story of Andromeda. The constellation is named after Princess Andromeda, bride of Perseus from Greek mythology. She was used as a sacrifice to save her kingdom from a dreaded sea monster sent by Poseidon. She was rescued by Perseus who slew the beast. In mythology, Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of the North African kingdom of Aethiopia. Her mother unwisely boasted…
the “Draco” constellation because I really like dragons and I searched the history and I liked it.

This is the larger largest constellation in the night sky; it has nine stars and one Messier object. MYTHS: In the Greek myth…
My favorite constellation is Andromeda for many reasons. One reason is, the meaning of Andromeda, being "the chained woman".

A woman, chained from something that they believe in, chained from a thing that they would like to do. Even chained from the world. Trapped in someone else's beliefs. A second reason is, the name and how it is properly said just appeals to me. The way…

The constellation I've picked is Virgo. I have chosen this constellation because it is the second largest. It takes four hours to clear the eastern horizon because it is so big. Virgo was associated with harvest as a harvest goddess or daughter of a goddess. It was associated with harvest because the Sun passed along the constellation during late summer or early autumn. This was when the farmers were gathering the crops they had planted. The brightest star in Virgo, Spica, is said to…
