Sidereal Aries-Libra connection

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I was going through the Aries file in the Links and found this ......

 

" It is the only zodiacal constellation so represented, and in

Egyptian symbolism, signified

sunset, thus identifying Aries with the descendant or cusp of the

7th house....As to the dominion of the 7th House, the Arabian

astrologers, Aedila, Alcabitius, and Morbecca, as well as all the

noteworthy medieval writers, concur that it is the house of war,

battle, strife, enmity, duels, encounters with thieves, lawsuits,

pleas

fines, and all contentions; oppositions, contrariness, and things

opposed, agreeing with the influence of warlike Aries. But since the

Greeks, astrologically speaking 'turned the zodiac upside-down,'

putting Libra on the cusp of the 7th house, the latter has become the

house of marriage, unions, partner in marriage, because the rule of

Libra is Venus. This is just one instance of the many glaring

contradictions abounding in astrology which must be resolved by

astrologers before any real headway can be made in the science - if

science it is!... "

 

Does it suggest that Libra is wrong in being the 7th house cusp? What

am I missing? Any clarifications are welcome.

 

Thanks

This was apparently one of Fagan's misses. He also believed at one

time that the zodiac began with Taurus. One thing Fagan had to his

credit is that as he studied and experimented, he continued to adjust

his ideas. When he died, he was still in the process of laying a

groundwork for sidereal astrology.

 

Some members of this list may have another take on Fagan's suggestion

that Libra belongs on the first cusp. I haven't seen this discussed

for a long time. Fagan was self-taught in his knowledge of Egypt and

its history. Later scholars have made discoveries that Fagan didn't

know about: for example, the proof that our astrological zodiac comes

from Mesopotamia rather than Egypt.
