Hi folks, from JackM & Taurus as the first sign

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, from JackMaker (or John Macher, but folks always say it wrong, and

I was

called Jack long before my birthname John...),

 

I haven't been exactly astrologically active in a while, but I'm trying to turn

that around.

 

Are the other M.A.G. S.F., CA Siderealistos still active in this forum??

 

In regards to the Taurus as 1st thread, from what I've read, Fagan and the

(Pre-?)

Egyptians set Libra as the first sign. The glyph for Libra representing the sun

rising on the

horizon, and also the idea that the scales :balance: are located in the head, in

the inner

ear. Scorpio follows next in line as ruler of the neck and throat. The glyph

of Scorpio

representing the decapitated snake, the bridge between mind and body: " the

head, the

heart and the pointed part " , " the well of souls " . {Also, check out the myth and

symbology

of the founding of Mexico City; VERY Scorpio}. Naturally, Sagittarius follows

the three

piece suit holding sway over the shoulders and arms: the mechanism of the

ARCHER, and

all that huggy, gregarious hippie crap. Capricorn as the earthy hands, Aquarius

the all-

pervasive yet impersonal heart, etc. on down the line.

 

@ Pluto... Is anyone else marvelling at how Pluto has spent the past thirteen-

howevermany-years in Sidereal Scorpio, then it breeches Sagittarius briefly,

retrogrades

back into Scorpio (where it is now), and is then reclassified as a minor planet,

or whatever-

the-hell they're calling it (a potential comet?), plus the addition of the new

planet Eris

(anybody have the ephemeris on that cat?). Pretty revolutionary stuff, no?

Pretty damn

cool.

 

Also I still need help with my Jupiter Transits if anyone is interested...
