This is the first of four
installments in a series of charts designed to facilitate meditation on how the
zodiac was originally developed.
This first installment of 18
half size charts illustrates the culmination of the first 3 signs of the
zodiac- Aries, Taurus and Gemini. In the
first chart the line for the midheaven is skewed to the right and labeled
0degrees Aries07minutes. Notice that the
line for the midheaven (MC) moves closer to the middle as we progress through
the culmination of the rest of the sign Aries and the following sign Taurus. By the time Gemini is culminating (reaching
the midheaven) most of the change has already taken place. There is very little difference in the midheaven from one degree of Gemini to the next. Gemini is the sign of the twins. Gemini's particular mechanical nature will be even
more evident when we get to Sagittarius and you can see the opposing contrast.
