Constellation tales

In New Horizons, if you show a Star Fragment of one of the Zoidac Signs to Celeste, you get a story of that constellation, so here are the tales of each the twelve zodiac signs.

"There are many tales and stories about Aries. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away... There were a pair of royal twins named Phrixus and Helle whose stepmother, the queen, hated them. When one of the queen's schemes put the twins' lives in peril, their mother prayed to Zeus for help. A flying sheep with golden fleece descended from the heavens and rescued the twins! Zeus commemorated the event by hanging the image of the sheep in the stars as the constellation, Aries. Did you notice how Zeus celebrates things Zeus did for Zeus's followers by hanging things in Zeus's sky?"

"There are many tales and stories about Taurus. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...An extraordinarily beautiful princess called Europa was picking flowers with her servants by the sea. She was approached by a lovely white bull that seemed very friendly, so Europa hopped on its back. As she did so, the bull suddenly took off, dashing across the ocean in a most unbull-like way. The bull, it turned out, was the god, Zeus, who had fallen for Europa...but he had trouble with boundaries. The constellation, Taurus, honors the great bull, and Europa herself has a whole continent named for her! But, continent names aside, I imagine Europa would have preferred it if Zeus simply asked her to tea." "There are many tales and stores about Gemini. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...The great god, Zeus, had twin sons named Castor and Pollux, who were both brave warriors. While the brothers were very close and alike, only Pollux had inherited Zeus´s immortality. When Castor eventually died, the grieving Pollux prayed to share his immortality with his brother. Zeus took pity and turned the twins into constellation, Gemini, so they would always be together. I suppose the lesson of this story is that, occasionally, even Zeus does something for someone else."

"There are many tales and stories about Cancer. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...There was a monster called the Hydra poisoning a spring that was a kingdom's main water supply. When the great hero Heracles heard about this, he set out to rid the land of the beast. Just as Heracles was about to land the finishing blow, the Hydra's friend, a crab, arrived to help it out. But the crab was no match for Heracles, who stepped on it and crushed it instantly. The brave crab, was immortalized in the stars as the constellation, Cancer. If only everyone was so lucky as to have a friend who come running when they're in a pinch!" "There are many tales and stories about Leo. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...There was a mighty lion with unbreakable skin that menaced the forest of Nemea. The great hero Heracles fought the beast and defeated it with nothing but his incredible strength! The goddess Hera placed the lion in the stars as the constellation, Leo, to honor its fight with the hero. I'm not usually the one to gossip, but I believe there may have been bad blood between Hera and Heracles!" "There are many tales and stories about Virgo. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...Persephone, daughter of Demeter was picking flowers when she was abducted by Hades, god of the dead. Demeter was the goddess of the harvest, and she was so upset that all crops stopped growing! Eventually, mother and child were reunited, but only for part of each year, which is why we have seasons. The constellation, Virgo, is depicted as a young woman holding wheat, in honor of this story. Between you and me, I think Demeter was suffering from what we call "empty-nest syndrome.""

"There are many tales and stories about Libra. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...The goddess of justice, Astrea, had a set of scales that could measure whether someone was good or bad. But she didn't have much use for them...until Pandora opened the box that brought evil into the world. I guess someone thought they were interesting enough to hang in the sky as the constellation, Libra, though. I do wonder why she had those scales already, though...Were the gods...up to something?" "There are many tales and stories about Scorpio. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...There was a very skilled hunter named Orion who boasted often of his abilities. Orion's arrogance angered the gods, who sent a poisonous scorpion to sting him to death. The goddess Artemis, who had always been fond of Orion, arranged for him to become a constellation. But he still feared scorpions, which is why his constellation and Scorpio are never seen together. Personally, I try to learn from this tale by being humble about my skills as an astronomer and DIY enthusiast."

"There are many tales and stories about Sagittarius. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...The half-man, half-horse creatures called centaurs were a rowdy, troublesome bunch....With the exception of Chiron, who was very wise as well as a gifted healer. But Chiron got mixed in a battle between Heracles and the centaurs, and was hit by a poisoned arrow. But the poison could not kill Chiron, because he was an immortal being with divine parents. The god Zeus saw his disconfort and took pity on him, raising him into the sky as a constellation. Immortality is one of those things that seem cool, but... it's probably not for everyone."

"There are many tales and stories about Capricorn. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...The gods were enjoying a fantastical banquet by a river when the terrible monster Typhon appeared! Unprepared as they were for a fight, the gods assumed various animal shapes and fled with all speed. But Pan, the goatish god of shepherds, jumped into the river, transforming as he did so. Perhaps because he was so shocked, he did not finish changing himself into a fish, only changed his tail. The chief god, Zeus, was highly amused at the sight of a goatfish, and hung the image in the stars. I feel sort of bad for Pan in that story, having a constellation based on this embarrassing incident...It would be like someone making a billboard of you while you were changing your clothes!"

"There are many tales and stories about Aquarius. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...The gods found themselves in need of a cupbearer to refresh their drinks as they lounged on Mount Olympus. Zeus, in the form of a great eagle, spotted an astonishingly hansome young man named Ganymede. He, er, convinced Ganymede to serve on Mount Olympus, though it meant he would never see his family again. To console Ganymede's parents, Zeus hung the cupbearer's image in the stars so they could see him. Before hearing this story, I had no idea there was so much drama in the lives of the extremely attractive!"

"There are many tales and stories about Pisces. This is my favorite: Long ago and far away...The gods were enjoying a fantastical banquet by a river when the terrible monster Typhon appeared! As the gods ran, Aphrodite tied herself to her son Eros with a rope so that they wouldn't be separated. They then turned into fish and fled, which is why Pisces is often depicted as two fish connected by a rope." (Also, note that I typed all of these, except for the Pisces, Aries and Taurus descriptions that were already on the wiki, and then I put the rest there. Pls give me validation)

Vedic Astrology | Third Eyes Astro

Vedic Astrology or Jyotish(a sanskrit word) is the traditional system of Hindu Astrology and also known as Hindu Astrology. It is an ancient Indian science which explains the motions of the planets(planetery motions) and their positions with respect to the time and also explains their effects on the human beings and other things on the earth. Hindu Astrology is an English word which was used from since 19th century, whereas Vedic Astrology is a recent word commonly used from since 1970s with self help publications on Ayurveda or Yoga. Vedanga Jyotish is one of the ancient texts about astronomy within the Vedas. The ancient vedic astrology was based on only the movements of planets with respect to the stars but later zodiac signs were included in it. According to the Vedic astrology there are 27 constellations made up for the 12 zodiac signs, 9 planets and 12 houses with each house and planet representing come aspect of Human life span. The visual representation of the zodiac signs and planets is called a horroscope chart.

History and Mythology about Vedic Astrology Jyotish is one of the six auxillary principle used to prepare the calanders to determine dates for sacrificial rituals. Astrology is bacically based on the Graha which means the planets, Rigveda is the origin of the Hindu Vedic Astrology. The Rigveda mentions an eclipse causing demon Svarbhanu, the word planet(Graha) was not applied to Svarbhanu until the later Mahabharata(final war of Kuruchetra) and Ramayana. Hindu Astrology is the connection b/w the microcosm and the macrocosms. Hndu astrology mainly consists 12 zodiac symbols. There are some several sub - systems of interpretation and predictions which are not found in the Hellenistic atrology(basically known as Western astrology) like as lunar mansions(Naksatra). It was only after the transmission of Hellenistic astrology thet the sequence of the planets in India was fixed in that of the week. Hellenistic astrology or astronomy also transmitted the 12 zodiacal symbols begining with Aries and the 12 astrological places begining with the ascendant. Ancient Hindu literature explains lots of astrological rules, on the basis of zodiac signs, constellations(Nakshatras) and planets. The popular opinion is that our ancient seers used the mythology to solve the complex physical laws which were beyond the comprehension of common peoples. The modern science is not able to understand the mythology and the physical laws behind this ancient method. Our modern understanding of the science of astrology lies with probability and statics. Statistics is the branch of mathematics which deals with the correlation b/w two or more independent events without knowing the actual cause of the correlation.

Modern Hindu Astrology Astrology is an important facet of folk belief in the lives of many Hindus. In Hindu culture the names of the newborns are traditionally named on the basis of their Jyotish charts. Many Hindus believes that the planets have an influent throughout the life of an Human being and these influences are the "fruit of Karma" it is aslo believed that these planets can influence earthy life.

Difference b/w Vedic astrology and Western Astrology The most easiest difference between the both is that two lies in between the method of measurement of the Zodiac. Vedic astrology basically uses the sidereal zodiac, in which stars are considered as fixed background against the motion of the planets whereas in the western astrology tropical zoidac are used in which motion of the planets is measured against the position of the Sun. The difference becomes noticeable only over time after the course of several centuries, as a result of the precession. Synchronically the both methods(systems) are identical with just a little shift of the origin of the ecliptic longitude by about approx 22 degrees or days. The placement of planets in previous signs in Western charts is about 80% of the time.
