UPDATED: This is a blog which I created because I wanted to dig into the ancient Greeks thoughts and ideas about astrology and astronomy. This is not a blog which is intended to read ones horoscope information, like we do in modern time. This is rather an introduction into how the first thoughts, about the zodiac signs occur. The best way to read this blog, is probably from the beginning, starting with Aries. The Greeks followed a path as it would seem.

The ancient Egyptians believed in the Sun, or rather the movement of the Sun and other planets such as our famous Sirius. But they recognized more planets than that. actually they recognized the exact same essential planets which we so often use in our modern astrology readings. The Decans could be seen as 36 weekly stars that the ancient would take notice of. The famous Sirius is the ‘Queen of the Decans’ and she marked the beginning of a new year. The planets were called ‘The stars that know no rest’ and referred to the five planets; Mercury – the star of Seth/or a form of Seth. Venus – star of the morning/ the one who crosses’ or ‘God of the morning’. Mars – Horus the red/ Horus of the horizon. Jupiter – Traveling star/ Horus who limits the two lands/ Horus star of the South. Saturn – Horus the bull/ Bull of the heavens. |

I made this clip two days ago, to illustrate some of the beautiful elements of this constellation. Then today I was standing in a back garden some where here in the North, I could see Taurus’ very clear. So clear that I could see (eyes only) the stars inside the shoulder and besides/behind Taurus Red Eye. Aldebaran is the brightest star to be found in the constellation of Taurus, also known as the Bull’s eye. Aldebaran (al-dabarān) is the Arabic word for ‘The Follower’, because from Earth it looks like this star is following the star cluster Pleiades. |

which are quit interesting in them selves. The red circle shows us just one of the galaxies that are located inside the Virgo constellation. M104 also known as The Sombrero Galaxy, the name comes from its hat like look. Some people speculate that more might be going on inside this galaxy, because not only is it so bright, but it has been noticed that it also glows through X-rays, some connect this to that its center might be a black hole, but this is only speculations. |
