Why do zodiac constellations not look like their names?
Who says they don't? Surely it just depends on how you play &quot;join the dots&quot;? The human brain will make out patterns where it wishes and what things look like is largely in the eye of the beholder.
The second explanation isn't true. Although the relative positions of the stars do change, they have not changed very significantly over a period of 3000 years, certainly not enough to change the basic shape of the constellations.
