&lt;br/&gt;ACADEMIC ZODIAC
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;KLAUDIO ZIC 
&lt;br/&gt;Academy for RTRRT and Scientific Astrology
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;ABSTRACT
&lt;br/&gt;The Academy of Scientific Astrology is based on astronomic principles confirming to the IAU convention. The calculations are performed on the HORIZONS integrator by Jon Giorgini of NASA JPL, Pasadena CA.
&lt;br/&gt;Subject headings: solar system – Academic Zodiac, astrology – precession of the ascendant, meridian constellations
&lt;br/&gt;Online material: www.lulu.com/astrology
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;1. INTRODUCTION
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Over the years the Academic Zodiac has been published, tested and tried in a variety of situations ranging from Eros landing to the discovery of the WMAP cold spot. It is our intent and duty to give credit while referring to the NASA JPL staff that guided our first steps into the fascinating world that we call universe. Our mission was not only to delineate all the dwarf planets, centaur objects and classes of special objects, but also study the universal horoscope much as the ancients would. Surprisingly, we have everything that is needed for such a study; in a word, we have NASA. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;2. OBSERVATIONS
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The ancients observed the skies. This matter of fact marks the difference between the ancient and modern. The visionary astronomers saw the exact positions of the stars according to precession as well as other energetic changes in the finer strata. Anyone observing the sky will determine the rising constellations. These change according to epoch and precession. The ascendant set is by no means static. Observation discloses the true nature of the skies: they rotate. As the skies rotate, the set of ascendants is changing. As the set of ascendants is changing, so does the pulse of this little planet, e.g. today we have a small set of ascendants, only 16, accounting for the uniform state of planetary culture. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;3. DATA REDUCTION
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Academic Zodiac has been studied and published as based on scientific facts. The introductory study includes the precession of the ascendant, as well a special treatise on the meridian constellations. 
&lt;br/&gt;The definition under 1) implies that there is a difference between eastern and meridian constellations, much as the local zodiac stands apart as separate system. 
&lt;br/&gt;The same rules do not apply to ascendants and zodiacal constellations, much as a separate study of the meridian constellations is required in an astrologer.
&lt;br/&gt;The astrologer operating within the real sky environment learns to reduce the data to the essential: ascendant, Moon, star gates, WMAP cold spot and major conjunctions.
&lt;br/&gt;Data can be extracted by planetocentric analysis, e.g. In a Juno-centric marriage horoscope, Venus conjunct Bellatrix conveys data that were not obtainable by geocentric analysis.
&lt;br/&gt;4. MODEL
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Academic Zodiac spawns further models.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Academic Zodiac with its standard 22 IAU constellations stands apart fro the set of eastern ascendants, whose number is 16.
&lt;br/&gt;The Cartesian house system regulates the uniform of stellar information in a given situation, whether during a seaquake (topocentric depression, negative altitude), on spacecraft or alien solar system. The board mainframe already incorporates such a system. 
&lt;br/&gt;Scanning the local zodiac for travel purpose is executed by a basic program with preprogrammed zodiacs as well as input and correction capabilities. Zodiacs will be determined on the flight. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;5. DISCUSSION
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;It would be beyond our expectations to find a primitive society handling the intricacies of precession and the zodiac. Slaves and primitives are expected to do as they are told, think as it is expected from their primitive culture, and most of all think big of their culture and leaders. The culture one is born into is the greatest of all times, for all practical purposes. One will not question since the experts do their job and one is not to interfere. It is clear that the Indian, Hebrew and Chinese civilizations are in turn the greatest of all. With due respect towards your civilization, mine is slightly greater than yours is. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;6. SUMMARY
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Neglect and occult reason have reduced the zodiac to speculative game for the masses. Asinine presumptions have Spica Virginis in Libra and soon Scorpius. 
&lt;br/&gt;People born with Sun in Virgo are already being told that they are “Scorpio”. Soon the error will expand towards 90 degrees without anyone noticing. 
&lt;br/&gt;Ascendant Pisces is being interpreted as Capricorn, even when Capricornus can not rise at due east for the epoch.
&lt;br/&gt;The Sun is in Libra for Sai Baba’s birthday, November 23rd. 
&lt;br/&gt;Scores of people believe in the most improbable ascendants and zodiacal positions, such as Aries ascending or even “Pluto in Aries”. Apart from being ridiculous, such presumptions are dangerous in many ways. Pluto never enters Aries or Pisces, much as Eris will never enter Taurus at all. The people who handled the zodiac and ascendant set during the years were poorly educated to say the least. There may be even belief in 12 or 13 signs in the academic world, such is the pressure of the unconscious media upon modern daily mind.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hi all!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've joined this tribe in the hope that you can help me out.  I read a book around 10 years ago when I was travelling and have never found a copy since, don't know the author, the title or the ISBN....(I know, tough to find it again!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What I do know is that it was published by Bloomsbury Press, may have been written in the early eighties as it was set in the earlyish eighties...  The author was British (?) as the story was set in the UK and there was a definite British feel to the writing and humour...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The plot is about the members of a community/village who are forbidden to leave by the domineering Police Sargeant who has a hold over the village.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The hero (named Moses) is placed in a basket and sent down a stream/river when a baby as his parents don't want him to grow up in the village and never be able to leave.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Fate has its way and when this young man is grown up he falls in love, and his love affair is the key to him discovering his past and his family and the village he unknowingly escaped from.  The village is possibly called Little Egypt...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's a fab story with some wonderful imagery, not least I remember the description of a villager who disappeared after disguising himself as a ploughed field in order to escape (the disappearance was not due to him leaving the village...)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That's all I can remember.  If anyone can help me out I'll be very grateful - and if there are other tribes where I could post this request I'd be grateful to know them too!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Many thanks, Deb.&lt;/div&gt;

I have not gotten a catalog from them in years and I looked them up on google and other search engines but found nothing.  Maybe they are out of buisness.  Too bad.&lt;/div&gt;

If you know someone really into Dore, that is the main selling point of this 124 year old book.

&lt;br/&gt;I'm looking at any offers between the $1200 and $2000 range.  Obviously, this is allot, but for it's age, this books an exellent deal considering it was worth about 2000 back in 1979.
