\u00abThe horoscope predicts your future\u2026\u00bb
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"The horoscope is the best known expression of astrology. It emerged (among other cultures) with the Greeks, who conceived the zodiac, a set of 12 constellations characterized by being located on the ecliptic, the imaginary line through which the Sun, Moon and planets also circulate. Each zodiac sign covers a space of 30 days, an interval in which the Sun circulates through each constellation. It is very important to clarify that the zodiac emerged around 2,000 BC, and at that time the constellations effectively corresponded to their original 30-day period; will return to this later.<\/p>\n

Depending on the date of birth of each person, depending on the constellation where the Sun is located, the zodiac sign that will govern their destiny for their entire life corresponds; This fact, added to the movement of the stars, will determine the personality of the person and will influence them according to their sign, allowing them to predict their future in various areas (love, work, health, etc.).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"In addition to the well-known terrestrial movements of rotation and translation, there are other more subtle and practically imperceptible movements, but existing and one of vital importance for this matter: precession. Precession is a slow pitching of the Earth's axis, very similar to the wobble of a top when it is about to stop.<\/p>\n

This wobble of the axis traces a complete circumference in 25,800 years. Now, note that 25.800\/12= 2.150<\/em>; That is, each twelfth of this circumference is equivalent to 2,150 years, therefore the wobble produces a change in the position of the celestial poles and the plane of the equator.<\/p>\n

In other words, due to a displacement of 50.25\u2033 annually<\/strong> of the constellations in the ecliptic, it can be said that our current view of the zodiacal constellations is shifted<\/em><\/strong> regarding how they looked at the time they were conceived for the generation of horoscopes. Let's see it in the following animation, which shows how this displacement in turn is related to the change in the position of the celestial poles.<\/p>\n
