Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 If one were to advocate a " Constellational Astrology " with the zodical belt comprised of the thirteen constellations in their true astronomical co-ordinates (eg. Virgo Sept 16 - Oct 30, or Scorpio Nov 23 - 29)), can this be accomplished (however unpopular with the " astrologers guild " ) ???? JOHN B Juan Oliver <jivio wrote: Therese...

It's sad that the sidereal signs are stable against the sky, but sidereal astrologers haven't made use of their great potential: the fixed stars and constellations in delineating the degrees and areas of the sky. Of what use then are signs? Therese Thanks.. Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 John... I wouldn't embrace 13 constellations nor limit Scorpio to a handful of degrees. What I have done is incorporate the use of the " fixed " stars in my work as well as sunspot activity. We explore & research for knowledge based on astronomical as well as astrophysical observations. Currently our 360 degree mandala divisible by every 1-9 number except 7 provides a format to derive working cyclical patterns of behavior. Don't you think we already have too much Virgo in our lives and too little Scorpio? Juan PS: Your address includes the moniker uk... Where do you live in the UK? city or rural?
