ACADEMIC ZODIAC

ZODIACAL OFFSET
In inspecting the real sky, one would e.g. find out that one’s own natal Sun is not in “Scorpio” at all, being in Virgo instead1. The zodiacal offset as reported in this case is therefore “two signs” or rather two constellations. The implications are vast as there is a large number of Virgo people being told they are “Scorpio”2.
ASCENDANT
The ascendant set for the current epoch features sixteen eastern ascendants. In measuring the ascendant, one naturally discovers that several zodiacal stations do not rise at due east for the current epoch. This is nothing strange at all, since the local zodiac is independent from the ascendant set. Furthermore, the meridian set is totally different from both the zodiacal and ascendant set.
NON ASCENDING ZODIACAL STATIONS
The ascendant set is always measured at due east. There are 16 ascendants rising at east for the present epoch. The ascendant set was measured for different epochs as well, as published along with the appropriate results3. In summing up, there are 88 ascendants in a precession cycle. At the present epoch, the following zodiacal constellations do not rise at east: Scutum, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aries, Auriga, Gemini, Cancer, Crater, Corvus and Libra. Taurus is rising for only five minutes at east in a daily cycle. In the next cycle, Venus will rise in Pegasus at east, thus announcing the new æon.
AGE OF PISCES
In the Age of Pisces, how can the Sun be in Aries for spring equinox? While it is not clear why would any astronomer refer to the vernal point as “zero Aries”4, the following information is for astrologers. Despite any fancy that may still linger in some astrological backwaters, at the present epoch, the vernal point is precisely in Pisces5.
FALSE ASCENDANTS
A woman suffered immensely at being told that she was a “cold Capricorn”6. Fortunately, at the present epoch, no one can have Capricornus rising at east. In inspecting the horoscope, we have found Pisces rising. Therefore, even when it comes to ascendants, the error can amount to two signs or more.
TRUE NATAL SKIES
What is the difference between a real horoscope and popular reports? The popular reports are based exclusively on the apparently immense capacity for sheer credulity in the popular mind7. Surely, no one would expect precision from an astrologer8, as the standards lowered to the point that everybody can be one. As often, the truth is quite the opposite, as we had no astrologers at all on this planet for æons.
PRECESSION
Besides Hipparchus, the Holy Bible issues warnings in rebuking the hateful practice of non-precessed astrology. The penalty is clearly death9. Obviously, it was important to stress the position of Orion10, much as to cancel any non-precessed calculus from the initiate’s mind. One may observe the true skies, but is strongly discouraged from attempting at any prediction with the use of non-precessed astrological models11. In short, astrology as it was practiced12 even after Hipparchus13, bears the mark of sin, for which the penalty is death14.

2The proper spelling is Scorpius.
3In ancient Egypt, one would e.g. observe two dozen ascendants over the eastern horizon.
4Aries is relatively short and rather insignificant as constellation.
5Even better, it is so close to the Cetus stars, that the present epoch has been called the Age of Cetus III.
6As spelled Capricornus in the original rendition of the stellar sky. Somehow the superstition slipped even within the phallic cults of the erect solar deity.
7The social ego has been associated with binary, mind, default ego, psyche, false ego and the personal devil.
8E.g. NASA is not run by astrologers. An astrologer who can not even find due east or one’s own ascendant would find oneself lost amidst real navigational charts that orbit a fate into the deep dark space.
9Astral death may be implicit.
10CINGVLA ORIONIS seems to be the central astronomical reference in the Holy Bible.
11One warning here for the incipient astrologer. The mention of precession in some astrological programs has nothing to do with the real skies at all. Only the planetarium will perform a precession-corrected calculus.
12Charlatans would probably at best assemble stolen ephemerides in order to appear as authoritative before the illiterate. Namely, as astronomical knowledge was not readily available for the masses, one of the ways to come into possession of an ephemeris was to steal it from the temple library. Being an initiate, the scholar would never offer an ephemeris to a charlatan. The purpose was of course not to despise the illiterate, but instead to help them by steps. It would be of no use in hurrying towards knowledge, as maturing requires time and procedure. The rabble of false astrologers never observed the real sky, otherwise they would immediately discard their own foul art as nonsensical. Any observation of the real sky would result fatal to any “astrology”, especially as practiced in the past 2000 years. In order to cheat upon the masses, they apparently never had to account for their doings with demonstrable astronomical data; in fact, false astrology broke from astronomy in pursuit of easy money and massive waves of naïve customers. Now, with the real skies out of the way, literally everyone could pretend to practice astrology. Mountebanks eventually wrote manuals, opened lodges and web sites; and there we have it: astrology was dead for over 2000 years! Even the so-called authorities never inspected the zodiac or ascendant set, as it was uncomfortable to disagree with superstition, and thus eventually become an unpopular with scientists (sic). The portraits of bigwigs who never inspected the zodiac are probably arrayed along the halls of some astrological lodge. Surely, it must have been comfortable to follow the rich tradition that had astronomy at odds with astrology, in addition to having astrologies quarreling among themselves. One just had to know how to sell the contradiction and pass it on. Profit doubled. For over 2000 years, the Sun never moved from Aries at spring equinox, meaning that somehow astrologers have managed to abolish the law of precession. It is not clear why would any astronomer refer to the vernal point as “zero Aries”? Of what significance is Aries to racial progress? Nothing begun with Aries, really. If there was an age of great importance, it surely was the Age of Orion, as preceding the golden calf. Aries holds absolutely no special meaning at all, on the contrary, it is quite a short and insignificant constellation as compared to Cetus, which it attempts to restrain. Perhaps the reasons for insisting on zero Aries are of bona fide religious nature, howbeit forbidden as astronomical heresy and sin against Creation.
13Hipparchus rebuked the non-precessed practice of astrology at the marketplaces, to no avail.
14Probably astral death.
