Vedic Astrology Lesson 3
The real path of the earth around the Sun is called the Ecliptic.
9 degrees to either side of the Ecliptic is a belt of the Heavens known as
the Zodiac. ( Dante called it the Oblique Line that beareth all planets).
First 30 degrees of the Zodiac constitute the sign of Aries. The next 30
degrees Taurus and so on. The Zodiac counted from the first degree of
Aries to the 360th degree of Pisces is called the Tropical Zodiac.
The Limbs of the Tropical Zodiac

Aries 00 - 30
Taurus 30 - 60
Gemini 60 - 90
Cancer 90 - 120
Leo 120 -150
Virgo 150 -180
Libra 180 -210
Scorpio 210 -240
Sagittarius 240 -270
Capricorn 270- 300
Aquarius 300 -330
Pisces 330 -360
These 12 signs are the limbs of the Cosmic Man or Time Eternal
( Kalapurusha- The Almighty Self as Time )
Aries is His head, Taurus His face, Gemini His neck, Cancer His heart,
Leo the place beneath, Virgo His belly, Libra His generative organs, Scorpio
the place beneath, Sagittarius His upper thigh, Capricorn his lower thigh,
Aquarius His leg and Pisces His feet !
The Zodiac is tenanted by 27 constellations each of them spread over an arc
of 13 degrees 20 minutes. The Zodiac counted from the first degree of Beta
Arietis ( Aswini) to the 360th degree of Zeta Piscium ( Revathi) is known
as the Sidereal Zodiac.
Western Astrology is based on the Tropical Zodiac and the Vedic on the
Sidereal.

English Literature & Astrology
Homer referred to the mighty Orion. Cicero assigned divinity to the stars.
The great philosopher Origen believed that the stars and the
constellations were signs through which the Omnipotent Divine exerted His
malevolent or benevolent Will. Dante was an astrologer like Newton, Bacon,
Nostradamus, Companus, Paracelsus and others. To Dante, Astrology was
the noblest of all sciences. Dante drew a parallel between the seven liberal
arts and the seven planets in his Convivio. He gave grammar to the Moon
& Dialectic to Mercury. Shakespeare referred to the "operations of the orbs
by whom we doth exist and cease to be ". Christopher Marlowe referred to
the place where " Mars did mate the Carthiginians"!
Count Louis Hamon ( Cheiro ) declared that the message boldly
blazoned across the heavens ( the positions of the planets )
represented the Universal Will & that the precession of the Equinoxes
( 25,920 years - 360 degrees ) was so beautifully calculated by the
Great Geometrician of the Universe & that all biological processes
obey the divine order of the celestial bodies and this is expressed in
the prayer we were taught long ago " Thy Will be done, as in Heaven,
so on earth".!
