Over the years, we have researched and observed constellations. A constellation is what is recognized as a specific pattern of stars. Traditionally, constellations take their name after the apparent shape or are usually associated with mythological creatures.
Astrology zodiac signs actually derived from the constellations around the sun's path. The sun passes through different constellations as Earth orbits the sun. Each month, the sun passes a different constellation, hence zodiac signs and their month.
As of now, we have entered Pisces season, February 19th through March 20th. Meaning the sun is passing through the Pisces constellation. Pisces is Latin for fishes.
Aries: March 21st through April 19th the sun passes through the Aries constellation. In Latin Aries translates to ram, It is located in the Northern celestial hemisphere between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east.
