There are a total of thirteen constellations but as know to all only twelve and why is the thirteenth skipped?|||As stated previously, thirteen is considered an unlucky number, probably from Bible references.
We count and calculate using base 10 because that's how many fingers we have, but there are also traces of a system of 12 going back 7000 years to Sumeria: number of Olympian gods, months in the year, tribes of Israel, days of Christmas, 12 hours in the day and night, a dozen doughnuts, etc.|||13 is an unlucky number. some take it so seriously, that in some sky scrapers, on the elevator floor numbers, they skip 13. probably the same thing with the constellations.|||I think you are slightly confused.com
The chinese had 13 months to the year.........which gave 13 astrological signs........the west believed 13 to be unlucky...so they were reduced to 12 months giving 12 astrological signs.......thats why when you look at the dates a sign covers it often overlaps another.....or is slightly different.
I know more than 35 constellations and there are many more.
The ones used for astrological purposes wind there merry way along the milky way.........which cuts thru the top of the night sky....which makes them more obvious.
This is also the plane which the planets follow.....which is how the planets are supposed to influence the signs.
However neither the stars nor the planets have any measurable influence.........it is like many other things a medium for manipulation.
Hope that answers your question.|||What do you mean thirteen constellations, there are an infinite amount of constellations in the universe.
