ABOUT ANDREW JACKSON

Andrew Jackson was an American soldier and statesman born on March 15, 1767. He served as the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837. Before being elected to the presidency, Jackson gained fame as a general in the United States Army and served in both houses of the U.S. Congress. As president, Jackson sought to advance the rights of the "common man" against a "corrupt aristocracy" and to preserve the Union. In 1830, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which forcibly relocated most members of the Native American tribes in the South to Indian Territory and resulted in widespread death and disease. Jackson also opposed the abolitionist movement, which grew stronger in his second term.

ASTROLOGY

Astrology has served a critical role in society, forever. It is probably older than Gold. It is arguably the oldest thought-system on earth. As astrology grows in popularity and use all over the world, The Ratio aims to reignite humanity’s study of astrology with the most recent human technologies like Big Data, Statistics, and AI. Humanity can and should know the best about our history and our relationship to the cosmos.
 
Below is more information about the definition of sun sign, moon sign and rising sign - not just in contemporary astrology but also ancient astrology. At least in the Western world. Astrology is not unique to the Western world, in fact it developed independently in every continent on earth. We focus here on the West. Contemporary definitions were poetically summarized by author Katy Bohinc, and ancient definitions largely come from the beautiful text “Astrology, Magic and Alchemy in Art” by Getty Publications of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Each of us is not just an astrology chart; an astrology chart is also one’s belonging in history and the universe. Astrology is the macro-cosmos and the micro-cosmos, it is ancient and contemporary, it is a place in space and also in time.

SUN SIGN

In contemporary astrology, the moon represents our feelings and emotions.
The zodiac sign where our moon falls describes how we emotionally process and react to situations all our life.
In the ancient world, the Moon held a pre-eminent position among the celestial bodies because among other things, its movement served to mark time and nature’s major functions such as generation, growth, and death.
The moon was personified by the great archaic goddesses who guarded the rhythms of nature and the occult arts like the Egyptian Isis, Greek Hecate and Persephone, and the Roman Diana.
The moon was also associated with the figure of the Virgin Mary.
The length of a month, 28 days, was calculated based on lunar phases – new moon, quarter moon, full moon, and last quarter moon – as were a woman’s fertile periods and the gestation of the fetus in the mother’s womb.
The movement of the tides and important chores such as sowing, pruning, and decanting wine into casks also depended on the phase of the moon. The moon was humanity’s original calendar and was associated with the cycles of life : fertility (full moon), death (black moon), and regeneration (new moon).
The color of the moon, changing as it does from dark red to brilliant white, its brightness, and its position along the heavenly horizon were considered to be signs of either calamities or strokes of good fortune, as were lunar halos and eclipses.
Because of the variability with which it appears and disappears from the sky and its influence on female physiology and on fruits and plants, the Moon has been reputed to be the cause of many psychological phenomena.
In ancient astrology, the moon symbolizes the Mother.
For Neoplatonists, the moon is associated with the body and form.
In Dante’s cosmology, the moon was the seat of Grammar.

PISCES

In contemporary astrology, Pisces is associated with intuition, creativity, imagination, sensitivity, and “vibe”. Pisces can be described as the best of all signs at reading the energy of a room. The Pisces intuitive nature allows them to flow like music through any situation with great sensitivity to all around them. The 12th and last constellation of the zodiac, Pisces, was derived from the Mesopotamian constellation kun.mes (tails) and is composed of a fish (Boreus) and a swallow (Austrinus). In ancient astrology, Pisces represented the contact point between the end of a cosmic cycle and a new cycle of manifestation. The process of Pisces was the re-absorption into the primordial trinity and the beginning of a new psychic process. The Pisces sign in art depicted failure and exile. However, Pisces also indicated the departure of death and the beginning of a new manifestation. Pisces was often depicted with rain which symbolized the cosmic energies from the womb of the primordial ocean. Pisces was believed to express the dissolving and rebirth associated with all forms of messianic revelation. According to the Persian magi, the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the sign of Pisces would announce the birth of a savior. Many use this historic conjunction in Pisces to date the birth of Christ. It is not a coincidence that Carnival celebrations, filled with initiatory references to the death and rebirth of nature, fall during the Pisces sun sign period, as the sun passes from the Southern to Northern hemisphere. Pisces is identified with the end of winter and with spirituality.

VIRGO

In contemporary astrology, Virgo is often associated with attention to detail, cleanliness, virginity and a down to earth nature. This sign is known to be detail-oriented perhaps to a fault, and is often identified by their precise descriptions in conversation. Virgos are often perfectionists, orderly, and very skilled at self-improvement. In ancient astrology, Virgo represents the Great Mothers and ancestral divinity that watched over sowing and harvesting. For Neolithic populations and ancient Egyptians, Virgo – not Aries – was the first constellation of the zodiac. It is believed (according to modern calculations) that the Astral symbolism of Virgo originated in 6500 B.C. 3,500 years later, the first sign of the zodiac would shift from Virgo to Aries. This epochal change in the first sign of the zodiac marks the transition from a feminine, matriarchal conception of the world (the moon) to a patriarchal type of universe ruled by male divinities (the sun). Associated with Isis, Demeter-Persephone, Dike (Justice) and Astrea (Law), in ancient times Virgo was called the “mistress of the Golden Age”. Early Christians associated the Virgo zodiac sign with the Madonna. Something which might surprise more patriarchal societies, Virgo, while obviously associated with the feminine, denotes the logical powers of the mind and the ability to unify and link discourse. Virgo often was seen as the sign which held the capacity and skill to bring negotiations to a close. Virgo represented a receptive intelligence which could align to spiritual knowledge, uncover new forms of life, and have a great mastery over the raw energies of instinct. Virgo was associated with the end of summer, purity, the earth and each year’s time of harvest – or birth.

RISING SIGN

In contemporary astrology, the Rising sign denotes the social personality of an individual in the first 15 minutes of meeting someone.
We might often wonder why we act slightly differently in social situations than in private situations with close friends and family.
Contemporary astrology would tell us that our social personalities are often different from our private ones (unless the rising sign and the sun sign are the same).
In both contemporary and ancient times, the Rising sign is also used to calculate the different houses of an astrology chart.
The ascendant (rising sign) in ancient times was named by the constellation which sat to the East in the horizon at the time and place of a person’s birth.
From the Greek “hora” (hour) and “skopeo” (I observe), horoscope means the “zodiac point that looks at the hour”.
By extension, “horoscope” means the study of the birth theme of the individual based on the time of birth.
The term “prognostication” is derived from the Greek “prognostikos”, or the science of future events.
In order to truly calculate a horoscope, the Rising sign of the individual needs to be included to observe the houses in each sector of a person’s birth chart.
This means an individual’s time of birth is a critical factor in studying an individual’s horoscope at depth and providing any type of true “prognostication”.

ARIES

In contemporary astrology, Aries is associated with initiation. Not always regarding all the details, the Aries can be counted on to take initiative, jump in, and be first. Aries is associated with fire. Oftentimes in undertaking initiative in a fiery way, Aries can also be associated with the opposite traits of Libra (opposing sign), e.g. lacking diplomacy. Aries is associated with independence, individualism, and the capacity to jump first into the action, the conversation, or the fire. In ancient astrology, Aries designates the rebirth of the sun in springtime (after the winter darkness) and the regeneration of energy in the cosmos. Because of these symbolic functions, Aries acquired the name of the “best star” in the zodiac. Aries became the star that witnessed biblical creation (at the time of the birth of Christ). However, Aries was not always the first sign of the zodiac. This change placing Aries as the first sign of the zodiac did not occur until roughly 3 B.C. Prior to this, a feminine sign, Virgo, was associated with the birth of fall and the harvest, was the first sign of the zodiac. The epochal change of the first sign of the zodiac from Virgo to Aries marked the transition from a feminine, matriarchal conception of the world to a patriarchal type of universe ruled by male divinities. Aries signified the renewal of the equinox and the victory of the sun gods (masculine) over the constellations of the moon (feminine). In ancient times, Aries signified charity and benevolence. Aries was symbolized by the Ram and was often associated with the Christ figure (Easter is during Aries season) through a representation of the good shepherd and the sacrificial lamb. Aries expressed creative impulse, courage and independence – but also had an explosive, untamed aggression (like a ram). Aries corresponds to the beginning of spring, to youth, to fire and a temperament of “dry heat”. Aries is symbolized by the Ram’s head, the male organ, and the first sprouting of seeds.
