As summer approaches, the astrology of the northern sky changes with the seasons. Rosefinch and White Tiger represent the four gods in Chinese mythology. They are also the names of ancient Chinese astronomical stars, originating from the ancient Chinese constellation. In the northern hemisphere night the stars alternate between the seasons. When spring changes to summer, Rosefinch rises; when summer turns to autumn, the white tiger appears.
