Your Astrological Sign May Not Be What You Think It Is
It's a great conversation starter: "What's your sign?"
But before you ask or answer that question, consider this: your zodiac sign corresponds to the position of the sun relative to constellations as they appeared over 2200 years ago!
The science behind astrology may have its roots in astronomy but don't confuse these two disciplines. Astronomy can explain the position of the stars in the sky but it's up to you to determine what, if anything, their alignment signifies.
The Constellations of the Zodiac
The ecliptic, or the position of the Sun as it's perceived from the revolving Earth, passes through the constellations that formed the Zodiac - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Zodiac signs were originally determined by which constellation the Sun was "in" on the day you were born.
Early astronomers observed the Sun traveling through the signs of the Zodiac in the course of one year, spending about a month in each. Thus, they calculated that each constellation extends 30 degrees across the ecliptic.
However, a phenomenon called precession has altered the position of the constellations we see today.
Precession and Astrology
The first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere was once marked by the zero point of the Zodiac. Astronomers call this the vernal equinox and it occurs as the ecliptic and celestial equator intersect.
Around 600 BCE, the zero point was in Aries and was called the "first point of Aries." (Figure 1) The constellation Aries encompassed the first 30 degrees of the ecliptic; from 30 to 60 degrees was Taurus; from 60 to 90 degrees was Gemini; and so on for all twelve constellations of the Zodiac.
Unbeknownst to the ancient astrologers, the Earth continually wobbles around its axis in a 25,800-year cycle. This wobble?called precession?is caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon on Earth's equatorial bulge.
Over the past two-and-a-half millennia, this wobble has caused the intersection point between the celestial equator and the ecliptic to move west along the ecliptic by 36 degrees, or almost exactly one-tenth of the way around. This means that the signs have slipped one-tenth?or almost one whole month?of the way around the sky to the west, relative to the stars beyond.

Very interesting ...... I wrote a bunch of stuff, then power went out and lost it all :sighs: .. however, it made me come to a quicker observation of what this might be ..
I think maybe it comes from a "fear" of hell .. our programming is so deeply instilled that it effects every aspect of our life.
Two realities ... the unconscious (spirit), the conscious (ego), and through our conscience the two communicate with each other.
Our unconscious reality (spirit) knows it's here to love, in all forms, to include sex ... so in case, the person was loving without remorse or guilt because that is why it is here, having physical experiences. However, our conscious reality (ego) has been so programmed of this "fear" of being condemned, that it has set moral boundaries according to what is acceptable to prevent the souls perdition in hell.
So, it's not until another person points this "bad" out to us, that the ego consciousness sends a message to our spirit that this person did a "bad" thing, so the spirit then sends a message through our conscience ........ oooops, you stepped out of the boundaries, you will pay with remorse, you will be punished.
In summary (if I'm capable of that) ... it's not true guilt at all with living through our true existence of love, that's why we weren't aware of it, that's why the love (sex) was given with no boundaries .. it's a "fear" the ego has of not being acceptable because it defied the conditions in which has been instilled in us to keep us from perishing.

So, in this theory .. we have no actual free will to choose. For if we choose against these conditions, then the conscience will reprimand us for not obeying.
