The mysterious March horoscope: demystifying these lesser-known stories of the zodiac

Everyone knows most of the twelve signs of the zodiac, such as Cancer, Aquarius and Libra. But there are many other constellations that many people don’t know about, and they too have fascinating myths and stories. In this article, we will explore the stories of three lesser-known March constellations.Carina (the base of the ship) The Base of the Ship is a constellation in the southern sky, located near the Southern Cross. It was discovered by Dutch navigator Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Dutch astronomer Frederik de Houtman between 1595 and 1597. Its most famous features are the base of the second brightest star, η Carinae, and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The story of the base of the ship is linked to the ancient Greek mythological figure Icarus. Icarus was the son of Daedalus, the god of Hercules, who created the wing-like mechanism that allowed himself and his son to escape from the labyrinth. However, as Icarus flew ecstatically towards the sun, his wings were burned and he fell into the sea, eventually dying tragically. After his death, his name was used for the brightest star in the base of the ship, the base of Aeta.

The constellation Compass is also a constellation in the southern sky, and it is located next to the base of the ship. It was discovered by the French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century and is known as Pyxis Nautica, representing the compass used by the crew.

The story of the compass constellation is linked to Hera in Greek mythology. Hera was the wife and queen of Zeus, and the goddess of family and marriage. It is said that she hid her ring in a star to avoid contact between Zeus and the other gods. However, the star was too faint to be observed by the naked eye at night

So no one knows the location of the ring. However, some legends suggest that this star is the fifth brightest star in the constellation of the compass, also known as ‘Hera’.

The constellation Ecliptic is a constellation in the southern sky that was discovered by the French astronomer Lacaille in the 18th century. It was named after the painter because Lacay thought the constellation was shaped like a tripod used by a painter.

The story of the painted tripod constellation is linked to the explorers of Antarctica. In the early 20th century, the British explorer Robert Scott was exploring Antarctica. He used a device called a ‘picture stand’ to record his findings. This device was very useful in the extreme conditions of Antarctica as it allowed him to draw images in cold weather without fear of the ink freezing.

At the time, Scott named the device ‘The Drawing Frame’ in honour of the constellation. The constellation was also widely known due to Scott’s expeditions and his rivalry with the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.

In addition, the story of the March constellation includes mythical animals such as the unicorn, the flying horse, the water snake and the giant panda. The connections between these animals and the constellations are not always clear-cut, but they are all mysterious and interesting.

The unicorn is an ancient mythological animal described as having a long horn and the body of a horse. In ancient Greek mythology, the unicorn was the mount of the mythical goddess Aphrodite. In astronomy, the constellation Unicorn is a constellation in the southern sky, containing some beautiful and bright stars.

Pegasus is also an ancient mythological creature, described as having the body and wings of a horse. In Greek mythology, it was the mount of Hercules and was also described as carrying the lightning of Zeus, the god of thunder. In astronomy, Pegasus is a constellation in the northern sky which contains a number of bright stars.

The water serpent is another mythical creature, described as having the body of a snake and the tail of a fish. In ancient Greek mythology, it was the mount of Poseidon, the god of the sea. In astronomy, Hydra is a constellation in the northern sky that contains some beautiful nebulae and star clusters.

The giant panda is a relatively new mythological animal, but has become a pet and representative of the world. In Chinese culture, the giant panda is seen as a symbol of peace, friendship and love. In astronomy, Ursa Major is a constellation in the northern sky that contains some famous objects such as Polaris and the Ursa Major system.

Although the connections between these animals and the constellations are not always clear and unambiguous, they are all a mysterious and interesting part of the starry sky, worth discovering and exploring.

Finally, the March constellations also contain some obvious signs such as Pisces, Aries and Taurus. The stories and histories of these constellations are equally fascinating, but as they are relatively common, they are not detailed in this article.

All in all, the stories and legends of the March constellations are full of mystery and wonder, giving us a deeper insight into the mysteries of the universe. Whether through the study of astronomy or the exploration of myths and legends, we can draw inspiration and insight from them, constantly expanding our imagination and knowledge.

At the same time, we should also recognise that constellations are not real entities, but human imaginations and names for the positions and shapes of stars in the sky. These stories and legends, although sometimes unscientific, are equally significant as cultural heritage and artistic expression.

While today we can gain a deeper understanding of what lies in the stars through modern technology and astronomical research, it is also important to cherish the ancient legends and stories that bring us not only beautiful images, but also the history and development of human culture.

In the colourful month of March, let’s explore these lesser-known stories of the constellations and discover the mysteries and wonders of the universe. Whether it’s stargazing outdoors or learning through the internet and books, we can learn more about these mysterious and interesting constellations, so that we can love and cherish this vast and beautiful universe even more.
