AN ALTERNATIVE HOROSCOPE

Bored of your own horoscope? Perhaps you never had one! After reading
our proposal, you will surely have a different view of the universe,
horoscope and everything.
Would you agree that the natal ascendant is the eastern star? The
constellation rising over the eastern horizon at birth is the natal
ascendant. If we have agreed upon thus point, let us proceed into
determining your natal ascendant.
Everybody knows that we don't need astrology in order to perform
miracles in daily life, but in the case we want to perform some
serious future changing we often scan the future in order to know when
to avert the bad transits that will thus never come.
How is the eastern rising constellation determined? The easiest way is
to use a compass to determine the east point. Astronomers use
observation or simulation. The simulation of the starry sky is
provided by any astronomic program for the PC.
What will the program show at east? That depends on when do we set the
time of the nativity. If we assume a recent birth then the program
will show one among the constellations that rise at due east at the
present epoch.
If it is acceptable to you that the starry skies are not only changing
due to Earth's daily rotation but also across long periods of time,
then you are ready to accept a basic astronomic phenomenon known as
precession.
It is due to precession that different periods of human history that
we call epochs display a variety of constellations over the eastern
horizon.
It must be exciting to discover one's true ascendant for the first
time!
There are precisely 16 constellations rising over the eastern horizon
for the present epoch. Some of these constellations are familiar to
astrologers but some are less known to the public. One of the known
ascendants is Pisces while Cetus may be less known to the wider
public.
The set of eastern ascendants has nothing to do with the zodiac. The
academic zodiac has been carefully measured as a separate set
consisting of 22 IAU constellations.
The academic zodiac has 22 constellations, while the present ascendant
set has only 16. Some of the constellation feature in both sets; thus,
Cetus is both aable. We consider the 16 rising eastern constellations
to be valid for the present epoch, while other epochs can have a
completely different set of ascendants.
King Arthur could have Aries ascending while a knight on Sangraal
pursuit could have had Crater ascending. A cowardly pharaoh could have
Lepus ascending while the most probable ascendant for the present
epoch is Virgo.
Since Virgo is such a long constellation, it is easily understandable
why the majority of human beings on this planet are born with sun in
Virgo.
Some well-known zodiacal constellations are not ascending at due east
at the current epoch, namely Aries, Scorpius and others. Nevertheless,
those constellations are sometimes considered as "ecliptic
ascendants".
An ecliptic ascendant is not rising at due east. In the example of the
horoscope of the U.S.A., we have Ophiuchus ascending as measured on
the ecliptic, roughly eastwards.
The category of the ecliptic ascendant was devised mostly for didactic
purposes. The alternative ascendants feature the galactic ascendant or
galax, which for the U.S.A. is Cygnus.
Finally, we have a query by the financial astrologer. Are the southern
stars the same as those ascending at east? The set of meridian
constellations is not the same as the precessed ascendants set for the
epoch. Those constellations like Phoenix have been delineated
separately during the early phase of our zodiacal reformation.

ZODIACAL PUBLICATIONS
ACADEMIC ZODIAC & PRECESSED ASCENDANT SET

astrology
The mystery of the zodiac has haunted authors since Hipparchus. An
orderly dissemination of the zodiacal constellations is a matter of
observation and culture.
Already Hipparchus used to rebuke the contem****ary authors because of
their lack of observation and therefore poor adjustment for
precession. Today we know that the skies are apparently rotating due
to the phenomenon of precession. The rising constellations are thus
distributed into different sets covering an appropriate epoch.
The ascendant set defines the racial initiation for the epoch, thus at
the time of King Arthur; Aries ascending meant a hero was born, while
Crater ascending called for Grail pursuit in a knight's horoscope.
Crater rising in the horoscope of a king alternatively meant baptism.
Monarchs like King Clovis could be baptized under the ****tents of
Crater.
Nowadays Aries is no longer rising at due east, thus "No more heroes
anymore." At the time cursed with a cowardly pharaoh, Lepus rising in
his horoscope would define the fall of a dynasty. Thus, the ascendants
determine the zeitgeist, rather than only individual horoscopes.
The rich history of the zodiac (or should we say "zodiacs"?) has been
do***ented through many experiments and errors of the past, from the
Arabian lunar zodiac to its Vedic elaboration. The known and unknown
drawbacks of the various zodiacal systems were present due to poor
following of the laws of nature and astronomy.
The zodiac has been finally defined in August 2006 after perhaps 3000
years of blunder. The academic zodiac has its counterpart in the set
of precessed ascendants. The number of the eastern ascendants for the
present epoch is 16, while the zodiacal constellations are 22 in
number.
Why do we have 22 instead of just 13 or 12 constellations of the
zodiac? The zodiacal constellations as defined by the sun's path along
the ecliptic are 13 in number. Ophiuchus is the 13th constellation of
the solar zodiac.
The zodiac is traditionally defined by the path of the sun, the
planets and the moon. Venus is the primary determinator of the zodiac,
while the moon adds a constellation.
In order to define the zodiac all we have to do is track the positions
of Venus, since this eccentric planet defines 21 zodiacal
constellations. The moon contributes with the 22nd constellation of
the academic zodiac, namely Auriga.
It must be said that only the moon enters Auriga much as only Venus
enters Pegasus. Some constellations are less exclusive than that, most
prominently Ophiuchus, Orion and Cetus.
The zodiac is a complex matter of study as there is no telling at
first sight whether a planet will enter a zodiacal constellation such
as Cetus this year, the next or only after a longer period. If Mars
was in Cetus this year, will it repeat its entrance into Cetus on its
return? Complex zodiacal inquiries like this have yet to be solved
mathematically.
The academic zodiac being defined does not mean Venus will enter
Scutum every time it brushes by Sagittarius, but Jupiter will surely
enter Ophiuchus every 12 years.
Ophiuchus could be the first familiar constellation to the zodiacal
astrologer since it hosts the sun and the planets on regular basis.
Orion and Cetus could follow suit as the astrologer gradually works
out his way through the complex constellations of the zodiac.
The ascendant set requires extended attention when working with
horoscopes as set in other epochs. The present epoch will render 16
eastern ascendants while other epoch will probably have much more
ascendants. Such abundance of information is liable to puzzle the
novice. A solid knowledge of the IAU constellations is only possible
with some basic astronomic tuition. Some astrological programs will
display primitive planetarium, which can be perhaps recommended for
the first steps.
As the lower limb of the sun touches upon IAU Orion and its precession
is measured near to Cetus, we have experimentally included the
hypothetical positions of sun in Orion and sun in Cetus. Albeit
experimental in an IAU environment, those positions are historically
correct. That applies especially to Egypt where sun in Orion makes
sense as concern chthonic religion. As concern our IAU convention, the
sun brushes by Orion and Cetus. The Orion Days are a special treatise
about sun in Orion much as the Age of Cetus elaborates on a
subdivision of the Age of Pisces.
As a further contribution to chthonic religions, we have separated the
ascendants and zodiacal constellations according to our own western
psychological standards. Monoceros lives in the nether regions, thus
representing a chthonian ascendant.
The academic zodiac cradles the WMAP cold spot within our Witch=E5llow
series.
Any astrologer armed with scientific curiosity is welcome to inspect
the rich world of the academic zodiac and precessed ascendant set,
whether on this planet or out in the alien space. Planetocentric
Astrology introduces experimental delineation such as sun in Cygnus,
the galactic ascendant of the U.S.A.
