You've got the superstition of astrology (which created the zodiac signs and "interprets" the movement of stars) mixed up with the science of astronomy (which created the constellations and "studies" the movement of stars).

You also got the constellation wrong. Hydrus ("male water snake") is clearly the inspiration. Same number of stars, same coat-hanger shape.

I'd bet the others are probably inspired by actual constellations too, but I'm too lazy to go look them all up. Stay away from the tarot card readers, kiddies. Go to the planetarium instead.
