The sign of Sagittarius is the "bow and arrow." The arrow pointing to the sky represents a constant challenge for goals, dreams, truth, and freedom. Sagittarius is a constellation modeled after the mythical Centaur, who has wild instincts and intellectual inquiry, and therefore wisdom and adventure share.

2. Myth and Story

The myth of Sagittarius tells the story of Queiron in the form of Centaur. Usually known as being tough and violent, Queiron was an exceptionally intelligent, kind, and wise Kentaur. Queiron was taught medicine, music, hunting, and constellations by Apollo, the god of the sun and light, and later became a teacher of heroes. One day, Hercules, one of Queiron's disciples, accidentally shot a poisoned arrow at him while fighting. Queiron is a immortal and cannot die, but he suffered constant pain from the arrow's venom. So Queiron asks Zeus to let him die and gives up his life. The gods said that they raised him to Sagittarius to honor his spirit of sacrifice and good heart.

myth and story: The Myth of Ganymede and Aquarius

In Greek mythology, the origin of the Aquarius sign is tied to the story of Ganymede, a beautiful young mortal who caught the eye of Zeus, the king of the gods. Ganymede was so strikingly handsome that Zeus decided to take him to Olympus to serve as the cupbearer to the gods.

Zeus transformed himself into an eagle and flew down to earth, snatching Ganymede and carrying him up to the heavens. Once in Olympus, Ganymede became the one to pour nectar for the gods, the drink of immortality.

In honor of Ganymede’s service, Zeus placed him among the stars, creating the constellation we now know as Aquarius, symbolized by The Water Bearer. This constellation represents Ganymede's role as the one who poured life-giving water to the gods, as well as his connection to divine wisdom and eternal youth.

According to Greek mythology, the Scorpio constellation is linked to the story of Orion, the great hunter. Orion once boasted that he could kill all the animals on Earth. In response, the Earth goddess Gaia sent a giant scorpion to stop him. The scorpion stung Orion, and both were placed in the sky as constellations — Scorpio and Orion. They are positioned so that when one rises, the other sets, symbolizing their eternal chase.

The Scorpio constellation is often depicted as a scorpion with a curved tail and pincers, with bright stars marking the shape of its body and tail.

To find a scorpion in the night sky in winter, you need to look towards the south. Scorpio is observed with its tail rising low in the southern sky and falling to the west. In winter, you can see other beautiful constellations such as Taurus, Gemini, and Orion.

Myth and story: Orion was overconfident with his hunting abilities and said he would hunt all animals, so Gaia, the goddess of the earth, angered and sent a scorpion to kill Orion. Orion and Scorpio became constellations in the sky as a result.

Symbolism

The symbol consists of two wave-like lines.

Although it looks like flowing water, it actually symbolizes the flow of knowledge or truth.

Even though Aquarius is called the "Water Bearer," it actually belongs to the Air element.This means it represents reason, thought, innovation, and idealism more than emotion.

Myth and story

Ganymede was a prince of Troy and was known as an exceptionally beautiful boy.

Smitten by his beauty, Zeus transformed into an eagle and abducted him to Mount Olympus.

There, Ganymede took on the role of the cupbearer of the gods, serving them divine drinks.

He poured ambrosia, the drink of the gods, at their feasts and remained on Olympus forever.

As a reward, Zeus placed him among the stars as a constellation — and that became Aquarius.

Virgo is symbolized by the figure of a Maiden or Virgin, representing purity, humility, and service.

2. Myth and Story

1. Astraea: The Goddess of Justice

Astraea was the daughter of the Titans Astraeus and Eos. During the Golden Age, she lived among humans, bringing peace and justice. As humanity became more corrupt, Astraea became disillusioned and ascended to the heavens, where she took her place among the stars as the constellation Virgo. Her presence in the night sky was believed to symbolize the longing for a return to a lost age of innocence and virtue.

2. Demeter and Persephone

In another myth, Virgo is associated with Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and her daughter Persephone. When Persephone was abducted by Hades to the underworld, Demeter's grief caused the earth to become barren. Eventually, Persephone was allowed to return to her mother for part of the year, bringing spring and summer. This myth explains the seasonal cycle and links Virgo to themes of fertility and renewal.

3. Erigone: The Grieving Daughter

Erigone was the daughter of Icarius, a mortal man who introduced the art of winemaking to Athens. After Icarius was killed by his shepherds, Erigone searched for his body and, upon finding it, hanged herself in grief.

Taurus (Latin: Taurus) is a zodiac constellation located to the northwest of the constellation Orion. It depicts the front half of a bull, with its horns pointed toward Orion from the right.

In East Asian constellations, it corresponds to parts of the White Tiger's asterisms, specifically Pilsu and Myosu.

It is said that the first early evening of the year begins with the appearance of Taurus in the sky

2.Myth and Story

The recognition of the shape of Taurus dates back to ancient times. Caution is necessary when attempting to associate prehistoric phenomena with the symbols of ancient cultures. Since prehistoric people did not leave written records of their lives, the significance of the animals they depicted—such as bulls, horses, and deer—can only be measured by analyzing the context and evidence left by other artifacts.

Nevertheless, Michael Rappenglück of the University of Munich believes that Taurus is represented in the bull paintings of the Lascaux Caves in France.
These paintings, dating to approximately 15,000–13,000 BCE, were created long before the invention of writing. Some remain skeptical, noting that only a single image among the many has been linked to a constellation.

In ancient Babylon, Taurus was called Shũr.
In Greek mythology, Zeus transformed into a white bull to abduct the Phoenician princess Europa.

Zodiac: Aquarius

The constellation of Aquarius represents a man pouring water out of the mouth of a fish. That fish is depicted as Pisces. This young man pouring the jug is Ganymede, a handsome Trojan prince who became a hero. The story in Greek mythology goes that Ganymede was herding his sheep when Zeus himself came down in the form of an eagle. Zeus was very impressed by the strength and wisdom of the young prince. Zeus was so impressed he took Ganymede to Mount Olympus. Once they got there Ganymede was instantly made the cup bearer of the gods. Ganymede's father Tros, (King Of Troy), was obviously not happy that Zeus took Ganymede from him. But Zeus made up for it with a present. After a while, Zeus had had enough of Ganymede, so Zeus put him him in the stars. The constellation tells of the story of the cup bearer of the gods. That is my Zodiac Sign.
