Did I get that right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andrew, I didn't read the entire article, but my view from long experience is that the Tropical zodiac is most likely a myth. The traits that are observed (not theoretical) can be better explained in relation to the constellations, sidereal signs, their lords and exalted planets. The lunar mansions also play a role. The solar and lunar zodiacs together explain the observed traits of the signs. The individual fixed stars probably tone various zodiac degrees. This is why I put up my web site--to explain how the traits of Tropical signs correlate with sidereal symbolism. Cyril Fagan also commented on this, but he didn't have time to work out all the correlations, and he missed when he applied **theory** to sidereal signs. Fagan says that Libra... " produces the most...peace loving types of humanity. " (Solunars Handbook, p. 27) Fagan must never have read the myths of Aphrodite/Venus. Venus caused a lot of trouble to her fellow immortals. Also Libra is the sign of the balance, and where the stars of the scales lie, legal issues will come to the fore. The law courts deal with contentious issues. They can be the most unpleasant of locales. The scales deal with judgement and balancing out issues and wrongs. The process of creating a balance may be the opposite of peace as we understand it. I should ignore the internet for one week and get my articles on Libra and Scorpio finished. Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
