Are signs of the Zodiac also constellations?
The twelve signs of the Zodiac are figures of astrology, and represented the star formations through which the Sun, Moon, and five planets passed. (Only Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are visible to the naked eye.) The constellations with these zodiac names were among those listed by Ptolemy (83 AD - 168 AD). In order of the zodiac calendar : Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Due to the procession of the equinox, the astronomical constellations are no longer aligned with the signs, notably Capricorn.
Why do stars have a set pattern?
Stars don't have a set pattern. They do travel across the space, although from our point of view it takes very long for them to change position on the heaven sphere. Constellations won't look the same forever. Also note that stars in the same constellations don't neccesarily have to be close together. Often their relative distances are greatly larger than their distances to us.
Do constellatons move across the sky?
No. The Earth's movements, both in its orbit around the Sun and its daily rotation, makes it APPEAR as if the constellations are moving, but in fact the stars don't move enough in a human lifetime for anyone to notice it.
