Introduction
The Scorpion may seem like just another bug with claws and a tail. However, in that tail is Venom. It's stingers can be deadly to other animals and humans alike. It goes to show that even the smallest things can have the biggest impact. The Scorpius constellation is represented by the scorpion, it was discovered in The Second Century A.D. my Greek Astronomer Ptolemy. Location The Scorpius Constellation is located in the SQ3 quadrant. It's bordering constellations are Ara, Libra, Sagittarius, Lupus, Corona Australis, Ophiuchus & Norma. Galaxies located in Scorpius are NGC 6000, NGC 6139, NGC 6144, IC 4596, NGC 6256, NGC 6388, NGC 6441 & NGC 6453. Stars that make Scorpius are Antares, Upsilon Scorpii, Tau Scorpii, Theta Scorpii, Xi Scorpii, G Scorpii, Rho Scorpii, Pi Scorpii, Epsilon Scorpii, Scorpius X-1, Mu2 Scorpii, Eta Scorpii, Zeta1 Scorpii, 18 Scorpii, ω2 Sco, Omicron Scorpii, Wray 17-96, Iota1 Scorpii, 1 Scorpii, OGLE-2005-BLG-390L, Gliese 682, MOA-2008-BLG-310L, WASP-17, V1073 Scorpii, V1309 Scorpii, LSS 4067, OGLE-2007-BLG-368L, EPIC 204278916, V1280 Scorpii, 1RXS J160929.1-210524, GCRT J1745-3009, HIP 79431, UScoCTIO 108, IRAS 17163-3907, HD 160529, WR 93b, PSR J1614-2230, OGLE-2005-BLG-071L, 22 Scorpii, WR 86, Zeta2 Scorpii, N Scorpii, V1094 Scorpii, VVV-WIT-07, HD 162374, T Scorpii, HD 162725, Antares B, AR Scorpii, AH Scorpii & U Scorpii. Meaning In The Traditional Classical World Religion, Scorpius was the Scorpion sent out by Gaia to kill Orion. She did this out of rage for Orion stating that he would hunt and kill every animal on Earth. This attempt at Orion's life failed however because a Serpent Bearer named Ophiuchus would revive him and Orion would live on. This is why in the night sky you never see both The Orion Constellation and The Scorpius Constellation in the same view of the night sky; also why The Ophiuchus Constellation lies in the midway of the two.

Introduction
Orion is the hunter in space. We are the hunter on Earth. Whether it was mammoths in the ice age or hitting goals in Today's World, man has always been a Hunter. What gives us the underlying sense of purpose is our instinct to hunt; it's what gives us our sense of achievement and our sense our curiosity. Them instinct combined with our intellectual ability, leads us humans to be dominant over The World! Location The Orion Constellation is located on the celestial equator. Orion borders Lepus, Taurus, Gemini, Monocerus & Eridanus. The galaxies that are in Orion are Arp 142, NGC 1990, Sh2-279, NGC 1924 & NHC 2112. The stars that make up Orion are Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, Rigel, Alnitak, Alnilam, Saiph, Sigma Orionis, Theta1 Orionis C, Eta Orionis, pi3 Orionis, Upsilon Orionis, 42 Orionis, PDS 110, CVSO 30, Theta2 Orionis, Chi1 Orionis, Alinitak Aa, HD 34445, Ross 47, HD 33946, Nu Orionis, Gliese 179, HD 38529, HD 42807, V883 Orionis, Becklin-Neugebauer Object, U Orionis, HOPS 383, Chi2 Orionis, S Orionis, Xi Orionis, Omega Orionis, Gliese 208, σ Ori A, W Orionis, Gliese 205, Theta1 Orionis, 15 Orionis, 52 Orionis, WISE J0521+1025, HD 38858, φ² Orionis, GJ 3379, Tau Orionis, Pi1 Orionis, S Ori 70, HD 37017, V1547 Orionis, Gliese 204, Gliese 221 & G 99-47. Meaning The oldest known account of Orion is in fact prehistoric. Some time in The Stone Age 38,000 to 32,000 years ago, carvings on Mammoth Ivory depict The Orion Constellation. These craving were discovered in 1979 in West Germania. In the Aram region of Ancient Syria, Orion was known as the Nephila whose offspring were the Nephilim. Nephilim are Giants who were the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men. In The Holy Bible, Orion is written of three times, being called Kesil. In The Traditional Classical World Religion and Traditional Roman Religion, Orion is a Super Natural Giant Powerful Hunter. His Father was Poseidon(Neptune) god of The Sea and his Mother was a gorgon named Euryale. One tale states that Gaia was enraged by Orion for saying that he would kill every animal in The World. Gaia attempted to murder Orion with a Scorpion; hence why Orion Constellation and Scorpius Constellation are never in the night sky at the same point in time. Her attempt would fail for a Serpent Bearer known as Ophiuchus made an antidote for the poison and healed Orion. This is the reason why, in the night sky, in the middle of the Orion constellation and the Scorpius constellation lays the constellation of Ophiuchus. Introduction
The Fish is the common man in the ocean blue. It's not a Shark but it's also not a sponge. Fish come in a wide variety. Whether Salmon, Tuna, Gold Fish, Rainbow Fish, Trout, Tilapia, Swordfish or Catfish, they all have one thing in common, they swim and they don't stop swimming for their entire lives. We too are like fish in a way. We keep moving in life, whether forward or backward, but never still. Either ye swim towards something or a swim away from it, the choice in the end is yours. The Constellation Pisces is represented by two fish crossing paths. Like good and evil, the two will always eventually collide and conflict will occur. In our lives we will face conflict no matter what. It's what will choose to do with that conflict, defines if were a fish swimming backwards or a fish swimming forward in the ocean of life. Location Pisces lies in between the constellations Aquarius to the west and Aries to the East. It also borders Andromeda, Pegasus, Cetus and Triangulum. Galaxies within Pisces are: Pisces A, Pisces B, Pisces Dwarf, Messier 74, Pisces I, NGC 520, NGC 660, NGC 383, CL0024+17, NGC 474, NGC 60, Pisces II, CGCG 436-030, NGC 514, NGC 7537, NGC 467, NGC 385, NGC 384, NGC 380, NGC 57, NGC 488, NGC 7714, NGC 7459, NGC 507, NGC 408, NGC 401, NGC 128, Laevens 1, Galáxia Anã de Hydra II, NGC 499, NGC 508, NGC 382, NGC 375, NGC 386, NGC 315, NGC 193, NGC 194, NGC 741, NGC 517, NGC 125 & Andromeda XXII.

Meaning Pisces originates in Ancient Babylonia as the great swallow. In The Classical World/ Roman World, Aphrodite or Venus and her son Eros or Cupid are told to either shape shift into fishes or a rescued by two fishes. In The Classical World, The story goes that Aphrodite and Eros flee the monster Typhon while traveling to Syria. To escape, they splash into the Euphrates River shape shifting into fish to disguise themselves from Typhon. In The Traditional Roman tale, Venus and Cupid are saved from the monster by two fish who swim them to safety. Either way, two fishes are involved in this story, and that is the origin of Pisces. Introduction
Justice and Balance are the scales that can dictate The World. A Super Powerful need for Justice is ingrained in most humans across The World. If ye does right, then thou should receive an Award/Reward & if ye does wrong, then ye should be punished. A simple concept that was even written down into law back in the days of Babylonian with Harambe's code. An eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth was the main idea of this system of laws and in Today's World a lot of similarity to this principle is kept. Balance and moderation is also key to Aloha in The World. Too much or too little of anything can cause ye great harm or death. Too much water, and thou shalt drown; too much fire, and thou shalt burn; and too much vice, and thou shalt be cursed. Justice and Balance are some key tenets of virtue and being a virtuous man. Gluttony for example is a vice, while taking what ye need and nothing more is virtuous. Too much pride and thou wilt fall, on the other hand, humility is virtuous. Too much cowardness and evil is allowed to roam freely, courage will stop evil right in its tracks. Without Virtue, Justice and Balance can not exist in The World. Location The Libra Constellation is a faint constellation that borders Virgo, Hydra, Scorpius, Serpens Caput, Centaurus, Lupus & Ophiuchus. Galaxies in The Libra Constellation are: NGC 5792, NGC 5793, NGC 5885, NGC 5917, IC 4536, NGC 5861, NGC 5890, Arp 261, NGC 5728, NGC 5756, IC 1077, IC 4538, IC 1055, NGC 5858, IC 1059, Messier 60, Messier 89, NGC 5817, NGC 5809, NGC 5801, NGC 5802, NGC 5810, NGC 5849 & NGC 5815.The Stars of/in The Libra Constellation are: Alpha Librae, Beta Librae, 48 Librae, Gliese 581, Gamma Librae, Sigma Librae, HD 140283, HD 139139, HE 1523-0901, Upsilon Librae, 23 Librae, Tau Librae, HD 141569, Theta Librae, Iota1 Librae, WASP-57, 17 Librae, 2 Librae, 16 Librae, HD 128598, 18 Librae, Mu Librae, 26 Librae, Alpha1 Librae, 47 Librae, HD 141937, 11 Librae, 5 Lib, 49 Librae, Kappa Librae, 4 Librae, Y lib, HD 133131, U lib, Lambda Librae, Eta Librae, Xi2 Librae, T Lib, 2MASS 1507-1627, o Lib, Z Librae, Gliese 555, Xi 1 Librae, 22 Librae, S Lib, WISE 1541-2250, 30 Serpentis, V Lib, Zeta4 Librae, 37 Librae & GW Librae. Meaning Libra in The Traditional Classical World Religion, was seen as The Scorpion's Claws. Same thing in Ancient Babylonia where it was seen as The Scorpion's Claws; expect this was an alternative view of what The Libra represented in Babylonia. The Main view of Libra in Babylonia was The Balance or Scales held by The Sun god Shamash. In Babylonia Shamash was known as The Patron of Truth and Justice. This view of Libra being a scale is also shared in Today's Astrology. In Arabic and Semitic Linguistic nations, they shared the view that The Classical World held, in that Libra was The Scorpion's Claws. In Ancient Egypt, Libra was viewed as a boat. The Traditional Ancient Roman Religion saw Libra as The Scales held by Astraea, The goddess of Justice who is known also as Virgo. Conclusion Justice is Virtuous, Righteous & Sacred. Every man in The World who has a right minded head believes in Justice. Stealing, Cheating and Murder are all injustices to the masses. Virtue, whether Humility, Charity, Moderation, Magnificence, Patience & Courage are Justice and should be awarded as such. If ye practice Virtue and ward off Vice, then thou shalt be one of Righteousness & Justice. For without Justice, evil will consume The Earth. I do declare that, The World needs Justice! Introduction
Canis Minor, The Lesser dog, looks like a straight in the sky almost. The Puppy, just like the adult Canis, is friendly and loyal. It's Canis Major, Canis Minor is the whole package, just smaller. Location Canis Minor is located in The Northern Celestial Hemisphere. And likewise to Canis Major, Canis Minor follows The Orion Constellation. Galaxies with Canis Minor are NGC 2508, NGC 2350, NGC 2485, NGC 2470, NGC 2416, IC 498, NGC 2504, NGC 2538, NGC 2511, IC 494, NGC 2510, NGC 2491, IC 2231 & NGC 2499. Stars known within Canis Minor are: Beta Canis Minoris, Luyten's Star, Gamma Canis Minoris, HD 66141, Procyon A, Procyon B, 11 Canis Minoris, 6 Canis Minoris, Epsilon Canis Minoris, 1 Canis Minoris, AZ Canis Minoris, 14 Canis Minoris, YZ Canis Minoris, BU Canis Minoris, S Canis Minoris, BC Canis Minoris, Zeta Canis Minoris, Eta Canis Minoris, V Canis Minoris, R Canis Minoris, HAT-P-50, Delta1 Canis Minoris, Delta2 Canis Minoris, Delta3 Canis Minoris, W Canis Minoris, HD 61563, IC 473, T CMi, Z Canis Minoris, HD 66665, U Canis Minoris & Y Canis Minoris. Meaning In The Traditional Mesopotamian Culture, is where we find stories about Canis Minor. In Ancient Mesopotamia, Procyon and Gomeisa, were known as twins or MASH.TA.BA within The Three Star Each Tablets. In Akkadian Astronomy, Canis Minor was Tarlugalla. The Classical World called Canis Minor, Coming before the dog. In The Traditional Classical World Religion, Canis Minor was associated with The Teumessian Fox. This Fox was turned into stone by The King of The gods, Zeus; along with his hunter, Laelaps. Zeus placed both Laelaps and The Teumessian Fox into the night sky as Canis Major (Laelaps) & Canis Minor (Teumessian Fox). Conclusion Who doth not want a puppy? Unless, thou art allergic to Canines, thou probably want a puppy? Why is this? Is it because, like the Adult Canis, it is both loyal and friendly? Most likely, when one is friendly and loyal, people are likely to flock to that individual. If we are friendly and loyal, perhaps we too, could be highly desired by many. Introduction
The Ram is a force to be reckon with. It's horns are hard and dangerous! Let's not get Rammed by a Ram! The Capricornus is a Ram in the sky. The Capricornus Constellation is the smallest Constellation in the sky however it is The Great Horn in the night sky! Location Capricornus neighbors Aquila, Sagittarius, Piscis, Aquarius, Austrinus & Microscopium. The Galaxies with Capricornus are Crater 2 Dwarf, NGC 6907, IC 1337, ESO 597-36, ESO 597-35, MCG-03-53-003 & 2MASX J20481275-1950461.

Meaning In The Traditional Classical World Religion, Capricornus is seen as Amalthea. Amalthea is a goat who weaned The King of The gods, Zeus, when he was an infant. This had to happen since Cronus wanted to eat all of his children, so to protect his throne as King of The Titans. Rhea saved him by hiding him from Cronos and then giving Cronos a Rock tied up in a cloth, pretending to be baby Zeus, to feed to Cronos. The Broken Horn of Amalthea was recreated into The Cornucopia. The Cornucopia is known as The Horn of Plenty. Also in The Traditional Classical World Religion, Capricornus was seen as Pan, The goat god of The Wild, Shepherds and flocks, nature of the mountain wilds, rustic music & impromptus. Introduction The Canis, Dog, a loyal companion and man's best friend. Since the Mesolithic Age when we first domesticated them till now, the canis hath been our most trusted animal ally. In space we see the canis as well. At night we see The Canis Major Constellation, The Greater Dog. Location Canis Major Constellation lies in The Southern Celestial Hemisphere of our night sky. The Brightest Star in our Sky, Sirius, is located in Canis Major. The three known galaxies within Canis Major are Canis Major Overdensity, Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy & NGC 2298. Stars within Canis Major are: Sirius, Sirius A, VY Canis Majoris, Epsilon Canis Majoris, Beta Canis Majoris, Eta Canis Majoris, Delta Canis Majoris, Gamma Canis Majoris, Zeta Canis Majoris, Tau Canis Majoris, Sigma Canis Majoris, UW Canis Majoris, WR 7, HD 43197, WISE 0713-2917, NR Canis Majoris, Omicorn2 Canis Majoris, Pi Canis Majoris, Kappa Canis Majoris, Iota Canis Majoris, Omega Canis Majoris, EZ Canis Majoris, Mu Canis Majoris, HD 47186, Lambda Canis Majoris, Theta Canis Majoris, Z Canis Majoris, Omicron^1 Canis Majoris, Nu2 Canis Majoris, 12 Canis Majoris, HD 45364, HD 47536, FS Canis Majoris, R Canis Majoris, W Canis Majoris, 17 Canis Majoris, HD 47667, HD 56618, 10 Canis Majoris, HR 2724, Xi2 Canis Majoris, HD 53974, FR Canis Majoris, FW CMa, HD 52437, 15 Canis Majoris, HD 56577, 11 Canis Majoris, CX Canis Majoris, HD 56405 & HD 47366. Meaning Canis Major is latin for Greater Dog. In The Traditional Classical World Religion, Canis Major was seen as the Canis, Laelaps. Laelaps was a present from Zeus, The King of the gods, to Europa, mother of King Midas. Also in The Traditional Classical World Tradition, Canis Major was seen as Diana's (patroness to crossroads) nymph, The Hound of Procris. Alternatively, The Hound of Procris was given to Aurora(EOS, Titaness of Dawn) and Cephalus(a hero) who was famous for its speed. It is even said that The King of the gods, Zeus, elevated to The Sky. Also, Canis Major was seen as one of Orion's hunting canines. Conclusion Just like Canis Major has the brightest Star in the night sky, Sirius, Our own animal Canis are our best friends. They are loyal and humble and would do anything to please and protect us. In many ways they shine brighter than Sirius ever could. We should act as dogs do in this way, Loyalty, Humility and the willingness to sacrifice our own well beings for the betterment of others. The Canis is indeed the brightest of them all. Introduction
The teddy bear, a safer less violent version of a bear. It has less size of that of The Grizzly Bear, Black Bear and Polar Bear. Ursa Minor is a lot like The Teddy Bear; not quite Ursa Major The Big Bear, but smaller like a teddy bear. Little Dipper The part of Ursa Minor seen by most in the sky is the little dipper. Likewise to The Big Dipper in Ursa Major, The Little Dipper in Ursa Minor is more pronounced to too those stars being brighter than the rest of The Ursa Minor Constellation. The Little Dipper looks almost clone-like to The Big Dipper with the exception of minor star alignment differences and the smaller relative size. Teddy Bear The Ursa Minor Constellations lies in The Northern Sky like it's larger counterpart Ursa Major. The Galaxies known within Ursa Minor are Ursa Minor Dwarf, Ursa Minor II Dwarf, NGC 6217 & NGC 6251.

The Little Bear In Babylonia, Ursa Minor was known as Wagon of Heaven. Diogenes Laertius, Callimachus & Thales of Miletus say Ursa Minor measured the stars of the wagon by which Phoenicians Sail. Homer, The Author of both The Iliad and The Odyssey, called Ursa Minor, The Phoenician Bear. The little bear is just as legendary as the big bear. Zeus, in Traditional Classical World Religion, placed both Ursa Major and Ursa Minor in the sky near each other and in Today's World, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor go side by side, a can't have the Big Dipper without The Little Dipper, otherwise thou only have The Dipper and The Ursa. Introduction
Bears are huge, powerful, strong, monstrous beast. Any thought of taking on one hand-to-hand is a fruitless dream. It would destroy thee faster than thou canst say Canis Major. Big Dipper The Big Dipper is a part of the bigger Constellation Ursa Major. The Big Dipper looks like a Large Pot where you could cook Rice, or Pasta or even Soup. Even in the most light polluted areas, the big dipper is easy to spot in the night sky if thou art facing in its direction.

The Legend of The Great Bear The Traditional Classical World Religion and Traditional Roman Religion, Jupiter (Zeus) commits adultery with Callisto who is a nymph of Diana(Artemis) the patroness of hunters, crossroads, the countryside and The Moon. Juno(Hera) places a curse on the bastard child begotten from this affair. This curse turn him into a Bear. Jupiter eventually puts Arcas, The bastard child ' the bear' into the sky; creating Ursa Major. Jewish Traditions Ursa Major was thought to be the bear of The Jewish People. Northern Europeans saw Ursa Major as Otava which mean Salmon weir. The Ancients of The Finns believed that the bear lowered a golden basket then it was killed and the head laid on a tree. Eventually the spirit of the bear would return to Ursa Major. Introduction

More Information about Cancer Cancer is 1 of 12 Zodiacs. Cancer is Latin for Crab. Cancer was Introduced in The 100's AD by The Roman Astronomer Ptolemy who named it Karkinos which is Almagest (100 AD Greek Astronomical and Mathematical Language) for Giant Crab. In The Classical World Tradition, Cancer is the crab which pinched Hercules's foot while Hercules (Heracles) was in battle with The Hydra during his 12 labors. Hercules killed Cancer after the foot bite. Hera, who hated Hercules, placed the Crab in the night sky in honor of it attacking her enemy Heracles. Introduction

The Stars in the night sky. Man hath look upon their glory such the dawn of humanity. The wonders, the intrigue, the fascination with the unknown drove this species to exit the planets grasp and reach the realm in which these shining gods of light reside. Though we are far from reaching these stars, that does not mean we know nothing of them and have formed beliefs around them. Astrology Astrology is a religion and/or pseudoscience formed based on the belief that human events on Earth are determined by the events occuring in Space. Astrology is Astronomy before Astronomy was around. It was the beliefs that brought about the formations of star pattern recognition known as constellations. The zodiacs comes from these constellations. The Zodiacs signs are Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra, Cancer, Pisces, Aries, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Taurus & Gemini. Constellations There are way more Constellations than Zodiacs, in fact there are 88 Constellations in our night sky. That is quite a large margin, the difference being 76. A few of the Constellations are Draco( Dragon), Leo(Lion), Ursa Major(Big Dipper), Ursa Minor(Little Dipper), Orion, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Capricornus(Capricorn), Scorpius, Lyra, Aquila, Cassiopeia, Centaurus, Delphinus, Crux, Monocerus, Lepus, Lupus, Perseus, Leo Minor, Pictor, Fornax, Hydrus, Corvus, Sextans, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Octans, Triangulum, Columba, Apus Serpens & Puppis. Now for what exactly Constellation is. A Constellation is a group of stars in the night sky that form an imaginary patterns that form shapes of recognizable objects on Earth, Like Leo a Lion, Ursa Major, a Big Bear, Scorpius a Scorpion, Canis Major a Big Dog & Draco a Dragon. Constellations are now exactly Astronomy, but they are Space related however. Even if the patterns are anything significant scientifically, it is still something we observe in Space from Earth. Conclusion Seeing patterns is important. Without patterns, we could not come up with conclusive conclusion on anything around us absolutely. If hot stove makes your food cold sometimes and hot sometimes, than there is no pattern, something is wrong and we simply do not know why. Patterns and repetitions is what make something work in The World. It how we can predict what will happen to our Sun or to a Red Giant. Without absolute patterns we cannot determine what is likely to happen in the future. And even though constellational pattern do not predict anything, what it does do, is help us recognize patterns which helps us find patterns that do matter. No patterns, no science. |
