AN ALTERNATIVE HOROSCOPE
Copyright © 2007 by Klaudio Zic, all rights reserved. http://www.lulu.com/astrology
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.
* 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 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 an eastern ascendant for the epoch, and zodiacal constellation.
* As concern planet Earth, the zodiac is a fixed set of constellations, while the ascendant set is a variable. 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
Copyright © 2007 by Klaudio Zic, all rights reserved. http://www.lulu.com/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 contemporary 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 portents 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 documented 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 hosts the WMAP cold spot in our Witchållow 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.

PRECESSED ASTROLOGY
Copyright © 2008 by Klaudio Zic, all rights reserved. http://www.lulu.com/astrology
EUROPE AFTER PRECESSION
Europe was strangely disinterested in precession, zodiacs and ascendant sets until recent. Already Hipparchus who rediscovered precession had a word of rebuke as concern those who pretended that the skies were fixed, in other word, them astrologists.
OBSERVING CIVILISATIONS
Precession is a merry-go-round of the stars and constellations that was known to observing civilizations. The present civilization is not observing the skies at all. European astrology was based on sheer superstition, the same rebuked by Hipparchus. False zodiacs and improbable ascendant sets went under the fixed nose of astronomers and still do. Kepler, Newton or Nostradamus never suspected something was wrong, as the fixed mind of the believer never notices any changes at the horizon.
EASTERN ASCENDANTS
The present epoch displays only 16 ascending constellations at due east but in former epochs the number of ascending constellations at due east was doubled. Only naturally so, because the present epoch narrows the horizons through unification, unisex and Internet. The New World Order implies boxing languages, zipping cultures and fixing the ascendant set. The modern man is a product with exactly the same functions and wishes whether easterner or westerner. Nowadays even them Eskimos dye hair and zip files.
THE HOLE
The first analysis of the horoscope is centered on the WMAP cold spot, Eridanus being an ascending constellation at the present epoch. The jeans were invented in Genoa, Italy. If the skies were the bottom of a girl named Nuit, her jeans would be stripped at that point. There is a big hole in the sky that was discovered as we announced the “second coming” of the antichrist in August 2007. As 2002 AW197 and Venus penetrated Hydra, the WMAP cold spot was discovered and baptized Witchallow. This hole can ascend at east in a horoscope, since Eridanus is one of the 16 ascendants for the current epoch. It may be well your own natal ascendant, but you were not to know it during the dark 2000 year reign of Nostradamuses, Keplers and Galileos, that is superstitious fellows that never bothered about zodiacs or the precession of the ascendant, much as their followers do not bother now. The devil is the master of lie and liars and nobody is innocent, not even the victim, since there must be some evil in those who believe in fixed skies and false zodiacs. Luckily, the Academic Zodiac with its 22 constellations is fully aligned with the great observing civilizations such as the Mayan that is about to teach us a lesson in 2011.

1Something that neither the so-called eastern or even western schools of so-called astrology can not attain to. The reason is simple. The ephemeris and consequently programs in general use bear two to six signs of zodiacal error as incipient bead in an endless string of incompatibilities towards the real sky. Understandably, only astronomy can help cutting through the vicious bonds of superstition. Religion means being true to one;s true Self. In the Holy Bible non-precessed calculus is forbidden to the Levites. In the past, precession-corrected information was reserved for kings and initiates.
2Actually for the solar system and beyond, spirits and colons included within the local zodiacs as pertaining even to astral planets.
3NASA Based Astrology.
4The initiate is true mind. Also: initiation is true mind. The default mind of the world is not the riginal mind. While the non-initiated peruse false ego, the initiate enjoys one’s own original mind. It is infinitively more fun to peruse true mind than default daily ego for the masses. Mao Zedong was hardly a fashion designer.
5Eternity has nothing to do with time or space. Infinity is in itself compete without any binary mind. The Great Tao never met neither Yin or Yang, being unaware of duality. Most of our work in the field of Reality Rendering is a tribute to Advaita Vedanta. Svami Brahmajnanananda wrote the 109th Upanisad. The RTRRT can be defined as urban transposition of the basic discreation laws of yin and yang, instant magick and illumination for the Age of Cetus III and the Dawn of the epoch of Pegasus.
6Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind, according to Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. False ego is called “little mind” in Zen.
