Logical ancient Grecian invented twelve uniform signs to allocate the sky bodies. They named the signs by
taking examples of twelve sets of zodiac constellation of Babylonian employed. With regard to Aries and Libra,
the stories were not simple as I have described in the OUYOU-SENSEIGAKUN-NYUMON in page 16. The
astronomers employed twelve sections but they altered the nowadays system into twenty four uniform sections.
As the astrologers have insisted in the Babylonian system, Claudius Ptolemaios or Ptolemy in 100 AD describes
Tetrabiblos and recommended to use twelve signs instead of the zodiac constellation. As this book was lost by
the fires of Alexandria Library incurred, European people had to wait in reading the manuscript of this book
after the printing machines made in the Fifteenth Century invented. As so many people belive the old European books in Japan, the people are using constellation in Japan.

In the illustration of top page that indicates the places of twelve signs and constellation
of zodiac in 2000AD, one will find the mark Aries of inner circle is placed some thirty
degrees off from the point in picture of Aries outside area placed. This difference of
notation has come from the scientific fact that the axis of earth has been set inclined
to the real north observed. As the result of this fact on the axis of earth, the PRECESSION
causes shift of thirty degrees in about twenty one hundred and fifty years elapsed. Sentimental dreamy persons in Japan have employed the constellation Aries as the notation
of fortune-telling, however, the most people in the world including English speaking areas
are employing the word of sign Aries placed instead. Therefore, the deference between
the sign and constellation is fairly recognized. The year when HIPPARCHUS
of Grecian astrologer has observed the sky and found the
fact of PRECESSION that the study of astronomy was originated by separating the art
from the astrology is believed to be the year of 134 before Christ. He nominated each section
of thirty degrees of 360 degrees of the whole sky with the names of twelve constellations
in the phrase of
ancient Sumerian tradition prevailed that were Aries, Taurus
and so forth. Then in the year of 2014 A.D. or twenty one hundred fifty years after him,
the sign Aries will come to thirty degrees moved off from constellation Aries.
