ABOUT MARIE VETSERA

Marie Vetsera was a member of Austrian "second society" (new nobility) and one of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria's mistresses. She was born on March 19, 1871 in Vienna, Austria (then Austria-Hungary). She met Rudolf in November of 1888 and began her three-month-long affair with him. Other accounts, however, describe their relationship as being one of three years' duration, which would have made Vetsera about 15 when they met. The two were found dead by suicide, at his hunting lodge, Mayerling (see Mayerling Incident), in January 1889.

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.

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”.

LIBRA

In contemporary astrology, Libra is associated with aesthetics, diplomacy, and balance. Libras are known to prefer balance, beauty, and diplomacy, in contrast to their opposing sign, Aries, which is known to prefer individualism and directness. Libra is associated with the planet Venus, a love of socializing, and an ability to smooth different perspectives. Behind the scenes though, Libras are often weighing out the different perspectives they encounter in order to create balance, perhaps sometimes in a way too superficial for some. Libra is the only inanimate symbol in the Western Zodiac and originated in the Sumerian astrological tradition. All other zodiac signs are animals; while Libra is represented by scales. Libra also is not a constant constellation throughout ancient astrology. Libra was reintroduced into the Western Zodiac by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. Prior to this, Libra was a subset or part of the constellation of Scorpio, representing the claws of the scorpion. In the Hellenistic age, Libra represented the figure of the virgin Astraea, the transformation of cosmic justice, holding in her hands the needle of the astral scale. The balance of the astral scale is on one side the severity of Saturn (structure) and on the other the mercy of Venus (love). The two sides of the Libra scale correspond to the two extremes of the karmic law to which the soul is subjected after incarnating into a body. Libra represented the season of harvesting grapes and grains, and thus the scales which represent Libra were used to count and measure what was harvested. Symbolically, Libra represented the balance of the scales, or harmony - whether public or private balance, equilibrium between conscious and unconscious drives, or a return to the primordial unity of the unmanifested. Libra also represented the medium point between physical decline and spiritual growth. In alchemy, Libra synchronized Hermetic and Alchemical disciplines that aimed to harmoniously balance opposites. Libra corresponds to the end of summer and the beginning of fall.
