Zodiac Killer

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…

If you look to the north, you may find Cepheus looking down on you as he rules the skies with his wife, Cassiopeia, by his side. I chose this constellation because I have seen his name mentioned in relation with Andromeda as I am very interested in Greek mythology. I also thought that a story about a king would be quite interesting. Cepheus is one of the constellations originally listed by the great astronomer, Ptolemy, and now remains as one of the modern constellations. The constellation's…

the “Draco” constellation because I really like dragons and I searched the history and I liked it. Its name means “dragon” in Latin, this constellation represents the dragon from the gardens of the Hesperides in Greek mythology. Draco was catalogued by a Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century, it is a circumpolar constellation; it never sets below the horizon. This is the larger largest constellation in the night sky; it has nine stars and one Messier object. MYTHS: In the Greek myth…

Ariens are active, brave and frank. They possess an abundence of energy which renders them aggressive in all sorts of enterprises. Constantly on the go they are the pioneering go-getters of the Zodiac. It is the present challenge that counts not what happened yesterday or what the future may bring. They’re enthusiasm is contagious. While their outspokeness is sometimes hard to take it is ultimately accepted by friends and family who recognise that such frankness stems from the Rams honest…

My favourite constellation is the Pegasus because it's myth/legend is very interesting and it is a very unique creature to me. The Pegasus lies in the Northern Hemisphere and it is the seventh largest constellation in the sky, occupying an area of 1121 square degrees. This constellation is made up with 9 stars--Scheat, Matar, Salm, Algenib and Markab. The brightest is Markab. This constellation's name came from Pegasus, a white winged horse. The most famous/well-known Greek myth involving…

Who knew, that our stars string together to form the most unique, odd, and compelling shapes and figures. You, probably have heard of the Big dipper, Little Dipper, Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, and Orion. These are the most well known and popular constellations and asterisms. An asterism is a group of stars that is not a constellation, but is well known by many astronomers. The history of how constellations came to be is amazing. Things including people, the discovery, why they were used, and how…

My favorite constellation is Andromeda for many reasons. One reason is, the meaning of Andromeda, being "the chained woman". When some see this, they think a woman that has been chained, but it is much more than that. A some kind of hidden meaning. 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…

Later Dante says: “The sun, who had chased Capricorn from the height of heaven with his bright arrows, was shooting out the light on every side…” Dante uses the location of Capricorn to indicate the location of the sun. Dante always seems to use the Zodiac as part of the scientific sphere rather than the prophetic. This type of usage would likely be much more consistent with modern day Astronomy, specifically using the measurements of the stars and planets as a function of time and earthly…

For my constellation I have chosen Pegasus. I have chosen this constellation because flying creatures have always interested me and I think it is one of the more beautiful constellations in the sky. The near perfect rectangle in the center of the constellation is also very interesting and makes the constellation even more beautiful. I also prefer constellations with several stars and Pegasus is made up of 18 different stars! The myth of this constellation I have chosen from Greek mythology.…

Initially I thought that picking my favorite constellation would be an easy and foregone conclusion, that being my birth constellation, however, I find myself drawn to all the water related constellations. After pondering the subject a bit I finally decided to go with my birth constellation of pieces. Pieces ended up being my favorite constellation because, first and foremost, it is the constellation I was born under and it is a water constellation. I have a very strong attraction to water in…
