Once upon a time Saddam Hussein didn't exist, and Babylonian astrology
and astronomy reigned supreme. Then came Saddam Hussein, and eventually
someone to attack even Babylonian astrology as something inferior, as
inferior as Saddam Hussein the leader! After all, for every bug, there
must be a special can of insecticide!
Bucksfanian astrology (1) was alive and
well even before the Kingdom of
Bucksfan was born on the Internet on 17 November 2001 (2). This
happened because Bucksfanian astrology was an accidental offshoot of
the Cesidian
calendar.
The Cesidian calendar is a novel creation of the Most Rev Dr Cesidio Tallini. As a
calendar, the Cesidian calendar is quite different from the Gregorian
calendar, which is the calendar currently used throughout the world.
For starters, the Cesidian calendar has 14 months, not 12 like the
Gregorian calendar. Then there are other differences which when taken
together, make the Cesidian calendar the most perfect calendar in
existence!
One day Tallini came up with this idea: why not create an astrology
similar to the Cesidian calendar as a concept, that is, not based on 12
Signs and Houses, as with Babylonian and other astrologies around the
world (Chinese, Indian, and Tibetan astrology are also based on 12
Signs), but based on 14 Signs and Houses! As a start, Tallini
placed the sign of Aries where it begins in the Babylonian Zodiac (the
Vernal Equinox), and began pinpointing the starting point of following
13 Signs, two of which were added in order to have a total of 14 Signs
of the Zodiac (Bucksfanian Zodiac): Taurus, Orion, Gemini, Cancer, Leo,
Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus,
Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius,
and Pisces.
Tallini positioned the start of the Bucksfanian Zodiac, its sign of
Aries, and its first House with the Vernal Equinox, and then
sequentially placed the next 13 Signs and Houses approximately every 26
days. It was when he did this that he made this startling discovery:
the Cesidian calendar and Bucksfanian
Zodiac coincide perfectly! In
other words, not only is the Cesidian calendar more elegant and perfect
than the Gregorian calendar, but the Bucksfanian Zodiac is more elegant
and perfect than the Babylonian Zodiac!!
The interesting thing about the Bucksfanian Zodiac is that the
astrology based on it shares a great deal in common with Babylonian
astrology. For instance, there are still 4 Cardinal Signs and Houses,
but while the Signs under which they fall are the same (Aries, Cancer,
Libra, and Capricorn), the Houses are not the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th
Houses anymore (I, IV, VII, and X), but the 1st, 5th, 8th, and 12th
Houses (I, V, VIII, and XII).
Another interesting thing to note is that Bucksfanian astrology shares
12 Signs and Houses with Babylonian astrology, but also two additional
Signs and Houses: the sign of Orion,
and the sign of Ophiuchus,
which
represent the opposite 3rd and 10th Houses respectively. These two new
Signs/Houses create additional characteristics which are not out of
tune of Babylonian astrology. The Bucksfanian Zodiac is shown below.
Now you can truly say that this is indeed "...the dawning of the Age of
Aquarius!"
