十二星座的由来:
古代为了要方便在航海时辨别方位与观测天象,于是将散布在天上的星星运用想像力把它们连结起来,有一半是在古时候就已命名了,其命名的方式有依照古文明的神话与形状的附会。
另一半是近代才命名,经常用航海的仪器来命名。在古代因地域的不同,所以"连连看"的方式也就不一样!而21世纪世界已统一星座图为将天空划分88区域88个星座。

星座的由来二千多年前希腊的天文学家希巴克斯(Hipparchus,西元前190~120)为标示太阳在黄道上观行的位置,就将黄道带分成十二个区段。以春分点为0°,自春分点(即黄道零度)算起,每隔30° 为一宫,并以当时各宫内所包含的主要星座来命名,依次为白羊、金牛、双子、巨蟹、狮子、室女、天秤、天蝎、人马、摩羯、宝瓶、双鱼等宫,称之为黄道十二宫 。总计为十二个星群。在地球运转到每个等份(星群)时所出生的婴儿,长大后总有若干相似的特征,包括行为特质等。将这些联想(丰富的想像和创造力)串联起来,便使这些星群人性的具像化了。后来又加入神话的色彩,成为文化(主要指希腊和罗马神话)的重要部份。这套命理演进、流传至今至少五千年的历史,它们以这十二个星座为代表。
