How did people even determine each signs
I mean,the constellations don't all look like what their sign is supposed to be!.
The Leo one doesn't look like a lion,the Aries one doesn't seem like a ram to me,but anyways,back to the question!.
-I read here earlier that Abraham gave all the names and stuff!.!.-
How did Abraham look at the stars,decided which constellations will be which signs and just found out their characteristics!?
I mean,this makes absolutely no sense!.
Just to determine characteristics and they apply!?
And how did he decide which planets rule which signs!?
How did he know that Aries,Leo and Sagittarius are fiery!?
How did he even choose the elements!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Great question, now you have to deal with my long answer, and I can't answer all of those questions!. This can't be accurately answered by lifelong scholars!.
Abram came from the city of Ur, which historically was associated with astrology, and 'star gazers'!.!.!.I have never heard of him actually naming the constellations though, I don't think that is accurate!. From what I understand the only thing he found was God in the stars, and became Abraham!.
According to the psychologist Jung, he had a dream one night, and the images of the Zodiac popped into his head, so his idea was that we dreamed them into existence!.
Most anthropologists say something along those lines!.!.!.no written word, so things followed by word of mouth, and through the grapevine they became a bit distorted!.
There is alot of debate about the origins of these myths, but even before the Greeks and Romans, there are striking characteristics with Mycenian cultures as well as the Egyptians!.
The earliest forms of Greek mythology, most closely associate with our modern view, is homer, illiad and odyssey, and they were about WORSHIP, not psychology, and elements are really, about psychological aspects of a sign, not the divine presence of it!. What's important to understand is that everything changes over time, just as the Romans tried to fit greek culture into their own, and 'rename' it, the greeks fit mycenian mythology into their own culture!. Their view of Leo, did not correspond to our idea!.!.!.infact that weren't even that concerend with psychology behind it, when it first took it's origins!. They were literally worshipping these planets!.!.!.perhaps they were crazy, perhaps they were more in touch!.
Animals were huge for worship during this time period, and what made greek and roman culture so fascinating, was their emphasis on Human nature, and realization of their capabilities!.!.!.i!.e!., "I think, therefore I am!." It was only natural to associate them together then!. I find the nature of a Leo woman to be similar in nature to a female lion, metaphorically!.
The "Sagitarii" were actually a part of the roman military, the archerers!.!.!.with time this became closely linked ot the sagitarrius, "the archer"!.!.!.**The name sagitarii; the arrows fly high, just like sagitarrius ruled people try to do!.
Their world was very different back then, and people were more aware of their associations with the earth!.!.!.fire, wind, water, earth!.
The stars have been a compass for humanity for many years, and just has, for example, christians are nothing like what they used ot be just 2,000 years ago, and people have distorted it to fit their own needs!.
What I mean with these examples, is that things mutate and evolve over time!.!.!.it wasn't just one single epiphany!. It was 1,000's of really great ones!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

This is what i think!.
Maybe he saw how those animals acted, like Rams (Aries) are angered easily, always into fights(rams fight a lot with anything)!.
And he just applied that to a person, and the elemetns well it makes ense becuase Earth signs, are stable down to Earth, it make sense, Water signs, calm, Air signs, always moving, Fire signs,fiery!.
As for the planets idk, this is just my opinion though, im pretty sure im not right!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Abraham didn't decide all that!. Whoever said that was wrong!. Astrology had been in effect thousands of years before Abraham came shooting out of his mother's canal!. It originates from India, in the Vedics!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
