Alyssa, take your time with a good sky chart, App, or a session with your local astronomy club. Of the 88 constellations, around a dozen do resemble what they’re supposed to. Scorpius does look like a scorpion, and Leo makes a decent lion. But in most cases, just see what’s there. Don’t try to recognize Cassiopeia as a lady in a chair, but the letter M or W, for example.
