ABOUT DICK CHENEY
Dick Cheney is an American politician and businessman born on January 30, 1941. He served as the 46th vice president of the United States from 2001 to 2009. He has been cited as the most powerful vice president in American history. During Cheney's tenure as Vice President, he played a leading behind-the-scenes role in the George W. Bush administration's response to the September 11 attacks and coordination of the Global War on Terrorism. He was an early proponent of invading Iraq, alleging that the Saddam Hussein regime possessed a weapons of mass destruction program (no active WMDs were in Iraq). He is also one of the most unpopular politicians in the history of the United States, holding an approval rating of just 13% at the time of leaving office.
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.
AQUARIUS
In contemporary astrology, Aquarius is seen as the revolutionary innovator. Individualistic, unique, and often blazing the path of the unknown, Aquarius is associated with revolution, technology, outer space, and anything on the cusp of our imaginations. While Aquarius is historically called the sign of the “water bearer”, Aquarius is in fact an air sign, meaning Aquarius approaches life from an intellectual, mental perspective. Aquarius is also associated with being deeply humanitarian; they consider the perspective of impact to all humans, not just themselves. In this way, like all Air signs including Gemini and Libra, Aquarius symbolizes the unification of contradictions. For Aquarius, the air sign unification is their unique individualism met alongside their compassionate humanitarianism. Aquarius originates from the Sumerian “gu.la” (great man) or lord of the heavenly spring. In ancient times, Aquarius represented man’s striving toward the spiritual level of existence, the dissolving of the individual into the instinctual flow of things, and mystical death. The ancient Egyptians believed that the Aquarius’ constellation’s disappearance from the horizon caused the flooding of the Nile and the return of spring. Hence the nickname for Aquarius was “water bearer” despite being a constellation associated with air. The association of Aquarius with water dates back to the 4th millennium B.C. when the full moon at solstice time fell into the “Astral Sea” part of the sky and announced the rainy season, flooding, and springtime. Aquarius symbolized the correspondence between microcosm and macrocosm, mystical death, and a dominance of elective affinities. Generous and hospitable, Aquarians were believed to have a serene, harmonious nature, rarely disturbed by the worries of everyday life. Also they were believed to be selfless in dispensing advice and aid to their neighbors. Aquarius is associated with the fullness of winter and with air.

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.
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”.

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.
