ABOUT ERWIN ROMMEL
Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel was a German general and military theorist born on November 15, 1891. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, he served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht (armed forces) of Nazi Germany during World War II, as well as serving in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and the army of Imperial Germany. In 1937 he published his classic book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks, drawing on his experiences in World War I. In World War II, he distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Later, Rommel was implicated in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler and chose to commit suicide by cyanide pill to uphold his reputation and save his family from persecution.
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.
SCORPIO
In contemporary astrology, Scorpio is associated with death, rebirth, sex, intimacy and generally what we call in contemporary times, “depth.” If the proceeding sign to Scorpio, Libra, is about socializing, diplomacy, and balance, Scorpio is about anything underneath the surface depths. An emotional water sign, Scorpio is known to be quite sensitive under what appears to be a controlled and sophisticated façade. If the Scorpio is penetrated, they strike back dramatically with a verbal sting, or worse. The evolved side of Scorpio is associated with the Eagle. The Eagle archetype is the Scorpion who has transcended their sensitive dark side to fly over issues with unflappable wisdom. Scorpio ultimately represents a depth which can ruminate to the point of death, and then regenerate as a reborn phoenix. In ancient times, Scorpio was associated with the death of the Sun in the winter months. The Scorpio constellation originated in ancient Babylonia. Later, in 46 B.C. the original Scorpio constellation was split by Julius Caesar between the claws of the Scorpio (Libra) and the body and tail (Scorpio). In ancient times, the Scorpio symbolized the return to the primordial state through a path of suffering and inner torment. Scorpio was a return to a state of original chaos before the rebirth of spring. It is not by coincidence that the rights of death – Halloween, Day of the Dead, All Saints Day, etcetera – fall during Scorpio season. Scorpio is represented by the gods of the underworld. Scorpio’s underworld affiliation is underscored by the position of the fixed planet Antares precisely within the Scorpio constellation. Antares, a fixed star associated with military strategy and prowess, is often called the “heart of Scorpio” or the “Star of the Spirits”. Antares falls just under the ecliptic at the southern extremity of the Milky Way. Kabbalists associated Scorpio with the number 13, and with the Death card (major arcana) of the Tarot – the symbol of transformation and rebirth. Scorpios were considered to be clear-eyed and cautious but underneath simmered an extreme emotionalism which could tend towards aggression or eroticism. Scorpio corresponded to the fullness of fall, to virility, and to water.

TAURUS
In contemporary astrology, the sign of Taurus is associated with value, sensuality, stubbornness, and patience. The Taurus is faithful, patient, and relatively kind. Slow to anger, this sign often stays even-keel when other signs do not. That said, if a Taurus’ anger is eventually aroused, expect a full blast of BULL. Taurus is often identified with “bougie” qualities like an affinity for high thread count sheets, fine dining, fine hotels, and the luxurious things in life. Taureans are patient but also stubborn and fixed in their ways. Taurus is the opposite of Gemini, its following sign, which is changeable to a fault. The Taurus constellation was born early in ancient astrology (roughly 4000 BC), and denoted the primordial energy of springtime. The ancient taurus was associated with the moon, over the sun, and the gods of rain and fertility. Taurus is also expressed in the myth of the Cretan labyrinth, which hosts the initiatory dances that reenacted the main phases of cosmic creation. Taurus was associated with the receptive nature of the earth in spring (receiving rain, seed, and sunshine) to produce the blooming of the earth. Taurus was protected by the Great Mothers of ancient gods and goddesses, like Isis and Ishtar. Taurus was associated with the uncontrollable eruption of primordial instincts, but also perseverance and patience in the pursuit of one’s goals. Some ancient belief systems even place Taurus as the center of all of creation.
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”.

CAPRICORN
In contemporary astrology, Capricorn is represented by a goat and we dare say the recent meme of “GOAT” (“Greatest Of All Time”) is inspired by Capricorn. Capricorns are goal-oriented pragmatists. Capricorns are often associated with professionalism because the Capricorn wants to make sure goals are achieved. It is a preference for achievement with tangible results that often leads to Capricorn being associated with professional advancement, but the goal seeking can be applied to anything : emotions, spirituality, or socializing. In other words, in whatever the Capricorn does, they are the “GOAT”. Capricorn originally derived from the Sumerian god Ea (the wise) who created the sublunar world, and from a Chaldean deity whose form combines a fish and wild boar. Seasonally, Capricorn coincides with the winter solstice and symbolizes the sun’s rebirth from death and the winter’s darkness. In antiquity, the region of the sky occupied by Capricorn was considered a celestial passage through which the human sphere could communicate with the divine. Capricorn represented the dimension of the astral plane which linked the manifested with the unmanifested. Mankind’s gate, the Tropic of Cancer, corresponding to the Summer Solstice, was restricted to descending souls that would become incarnated into a body. The Tropic of Capricorn, however, was associated with the Gate of the Gods and was reserved for immortal beings – spirits released from the reincarnation cycle – to return to the region of the stars. In other words, the gate of spiritual transcendence. In observance of esoteric tradition, around the time of the winter solstice the Romans celebrated the birth of Sol Invictus (the undefeated Sun) on December 25th, which later became the date of Christ’s birth. From an astrological point of view, Capricorn denoted detachment from the body and matter, perseverance and prudence, industriousness, and a sense of duty. Capricorn was associated with the beginning of winter and with old age.
