ABOUT WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR
William I, usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard, was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. He was a descendant of Rollo and was Duke of Normandy from 1035 onward. His hold was secure on Normandy by 1060, following a long struggle to establish his throne, and he launched the Norman conquest of England six years later. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands, and by difficulties with his eldest son, Robert Curthose. He died in September 1087 while leading a campaign in northern France and was buried in Caen.
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.
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.

LEO
In contemporary astrology, Leo is associated with a proud, well-developed sense of self. Leo is associated with a flair for social performance. The ability to shine and direct attention at themselves is in most cases a beloved Leo trait. Leos know how to light up a room and in most cases do not shy from doing so. In ancient times, Leo symbolized the full energy of the sun at the summer solstice. At the macro level, Leo was the greatest explosion of the cosmos, and on the individual level, the full affirmation of one’s individuality, will, and consciousness. Originating from Egypt in the 4th millennium, B.C., the ancient depiction of Leo was a lion’s tail drinking at a river. Ancient Egyptians placed two lions on maps and in art at the boundary of the known world to guard the rising and setting of the sun. Since the sun represented the ability to grow crops; Leo represented the ability of humanity to survive. Hence, the guarding and protecting symbolism of the lions. Ancient art often depicted Leo the Lion’s (the sun’s) victory over the Taurus the Bull’s earth energy, of Day over Night, and of Summer over Winter. Leo also represented the penetrating force of God’s light and his word. As such Leo was also associated with Christ as a judge and teacher. Leo represented the power to achieve one’s aspirations, the force and splendor of existence, a generous and lofty spirit, but also ambition and pride. Leo was associated with full summer and fire.
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.
