WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY ASTROTWIN?
ABOUT JIM MORRISON
Jim Morrison was an American singer, songwriter, and poet born on December 8, 1943. He served as the lead vocalist of the rock band The Doors. The band spent two years in obscurity until shooting to prominence with their number-one single in the United States, "Light My Fire," taken from their self-titled debut album. Morrison wrote or co-wrote many of the Doors' songs, including "Light My Fire", "Break On Through (To the Other Side)", "People Are Strange", "Hello, I Love You", and "Riders on the Storm". Morrison developed an alcohol dependency during the 1960s, which at times affected his performances on stage. He died unexpectedly at the age of 27, and as no autopsy was performed, the cause of death is disputed.
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 sun represents our ego energiess.
It suggests how our ego will act, what characteristics it will likely take, and how we will respond at an ego level to situations.
In contemporary astrology, the sun and its position in the zodiac are the most commonly known aspect of a person.
Based on the date of birth, most people know their sun sign.
However, at the time that astral knowledge was born, the Sun occupied a secondary position to the Moon.
The ancient Babylonians worshiped the sun for purposes of divination but did not use it to compute time or to perform the tasks of daily life.
Originally, the sun was derived from the Sumerian god Shamash, who bore light and life but also drought and famine.
It was the Egyptians who initiated the cult of the “day star” attributing the sun to a primary role in fertilizing the Nile Valley at the time of the summer solstice (announced by the rise of the fixed star, Sirius).
In late antiquity, Neoplatonists identified the Sun with the rational soul and the ability to listen and to imagine.
Later, in Dante’s cosmology, the sphere of the sun is akin to “heaven,” and the seat of Arithmetic and Theology.
During the Renaissance, sun worship went through another strong revival. The sun was said to preside over medicine and poetry, using music and song as powerful healing tools. The sun also “lit up mens’ hearts”, spurring them to love knowledge.
Throughout ancient astrology, the sun is the masculine figure and link between the perceptible world and intelligible reality. Furthermore the sun was believed to foster harmonious behavior and broad-mindedness.
(Little known fact, sun sign horoscopes were actually invented in the 1800’s to sell newspapers. At The Ratio we think we should go a little deeper, but, sidenote.)
SAGITTARIUS
In contemporary astrology, Sagittarius represents a love for freedom, knowledge, and wisdom.
Sagittarius can be envisioned indoors in a book or outside in nature, seeking knowledge and experience.
Sagittarius has a desire to speak with a trove of knowledge about the world, a broad mind, and philosophical wisdom.
Sagittarius as a constellation in the zodiac originated in ancient Babylonia.
In ancient times, Sagittarius represented the human aspiration to overcome one’s limits, as well as spiritual transformation.
The sign preceding the winter solstice, Sagittarius represented the psychic energy extended to achieve learning, understanding, synthesis, cohesion and illumination.
In ancient times, Sagittarius was associated with self-restraint.
Sagittarius also denoted a thirst for independence and the ecstatic silence that precedes the seasonal “death” of the winter solstice, a prelude to the regeneration of the universe.
Sagittarius was considered an emblem of the “philosopher-prophet” and of the perfect man, resulting from the harmonious union of the parts of Sagittarius: the body (horse), and the soul (human bust), and the spirit (arrow).
The animal body of Sagittarius represents the realm of instinct which is bound to the material world and the rhythms of nature.
The human head and torso signify psychic life and the rational soul.
The arrow represents man’s spiritual transformation, yearning for knowledge and (hopefully) resulting wisdom.
During the Middle Ages, Sagittarius became a symbol of Christ and was associated with the White Knight of the Apocalypse.
In the height of the Renaissance, the iconography of Sagittarius still maintained Arab-like characteristics drawn from Eastern astrology manuscripts, such as the turbaned head of the centaur.
In the network of correspondences between heaven and earth that animate astrology, Sagittarius is associated with the end of fall, with fire, and with a choleric temperament.
MOON 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.
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 calcu,late 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”.

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.
Like Pisces and Capricorn, Aquarius is located in the part of the sky known as the “Astral Sea”, a region inhabited by water constellations like Eridanus, Cetus (The Whale), and the Dolphin.
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.
