Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Dear Francois, In this case it is interesting to examine the cross connections between the constellations in Greek terms with the Indian ones: The constellation Ophiuchus is the snake bearer, the snake is also a symbol of the spine, (according to the Rosicrucians by the way) Ophiuchus represents the medical field, poisons by the snake that can also be useful, if assembled crrectly as a medicine to actually cure, so poison and medicine come very close ;-) In a certain way kundalini also represents health-balance, right?

As far as I know, there is no mention of this chart in any Indian classical text (at least I've never seen it or had anyone knowledgeable in these texts point it out). I had the simple realization one day that this chart must be a throwback to the First Nissan Moon and is usually the closest New Moon to the vernal equinox. Since there is no mention anywhere of a New Moon in Aries or Taurus, it seems obvious this idea arose during the time the equinox was occurring in Pisces. It doesn't always happen that the New Moon closest to the equinox occurs in Pisces, as is the case with this one. The closest one occurs on March 10, 2005 in Aquarius. I would think that understanding the origins of this chart would be important for its survival. Will Indians still be calculating the New Moon in Pisces when the equinox occurs in Aquarius? I may have to reincarnate just to find out..... Best, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
