二干多年前希腊的天文学家希巴克斯（Hipparchus，西元前190 ~120）为标示太阳在黄道上观行的位置，就将黄道带分成十二个区段，以春分点为0°，自春分点（即黄道零度）算起;每隔30°为一宫，并以当时各宫内所包含的主要星座来命名，依次为白羊、金牛、双子、巨蟹、狮子、室女、天秤、天蝎、人马、摩羯、宝瓶、双鱼等宫，称之为黄道十二宫。
2. Many years ago, Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BC) divided the ecliptic into 12 sections to mark the position of the sun on the ecliptic, taking the vernal equinox as 0 ° and counting from the vernal equinox (i.e. zero degree of the ecliptic); Every 30 ° is a house, named after the main constellations contained in each house at that time, followed by Aries, Taurus, Gemini, cancer, lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and other houses, which are called the twelfth house of the zodiac.
