ABOUT PRINCE TAKAHITO MIKASA
Takahito, Prince Mikasa was a Japanese royal, member of the Imperial House of Japan, born on December 2, 1915. He was the fourth and youngest son of Emperor Taishō (Yoshihito) and Empress Teimei (Sadako) and was their last surviving child. After serving as a junior cavalry officer in the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II, the prince embarked upon a post-war career as a scholar and part-time lecturer in Middle Eastern studies and Semitic languages. With the death of his sister-in-law, Kikuko, Princess Takamatsu, on 17 December 2004, he became the oldest living member of the Imperial House of Japan. At his death at the age of 100, Prince Takahito was the oldest living royal and the oldest living prince in line of succession.
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.
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 mans’ 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.

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.
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”.

CANCER
In contemporary astrology, cancer represents sensitivity, the maternal, and the home. Like the crab who can walk forward and backwards in response to the tide, cancer represents a sensitive, intuitive nature which can respond in delicate increments to situations around them. Cancer is associated with everything to do with the home or in other words, domestic. Cooking, cleaning, staying in and nesting on the couch, tending to the emotional needs of others – or in other words, attributes of home-making - are all associated with Cancer. Cancer in antiquity was the sign of summer and the moon. Considered a sign of the unconscious, clairvoyance, and fertility, the ancient Greeks represented the sign of cancer as an Octopus, an animal symbol linked to embryonic life. Cancer was also symbolized by the crab, which slows its walk to go backwards, almost like the sun as it begins to “station” in the sky just prior to the summer solstice. During the slowing months of the summer when the sun “stations” longer in the sky, cancer represents the return of the psyche into the maternal womb, germinative life, and regenerating fruitfulness. Similar to the seeds gestating in the field, and like a baby in the womb, Cancer represents a time of maternal incubation and generation. Neoplatonists believed that the Cancer constellation was one of two heavenly gates which the soul transited through on the path to bodily reincarnation (the Tropic of Cancer area of the sky.) Cancer is also linked to the moon and water, so it represents a constant state of becoming. Sometimes said to be restless and hyper emotional, Cancer was also known to be capable of future rebirths. Cancer ultimately corresponded to motherhood, and the gestation of the field during summer in preparation for harvest, like a child in the womb.
