THE ZODIAC
T
o the ordinary astrologer the Zodiac is simply a band of space, eighteen
degrees wide, in the heavens, the center of which marks out the pathway
of the Sun during the space of one year of 365 days, etc.
The twelve signs are to him simply thirty degrees of the space (12 times 30
equal 360), bearing the names of the constellations which once occupied
them. Nay, he, as a rule, still imagines in some sense that the signs (constel-
lations) are still there, and that the power and potency of the twelve signs is
derived from the stars which occupy the Zodiacal band of the skies.
But this is not so, as any ordinary astronomer well knows. This single fact,
i.e., the gradual shifting of the constellations, the DISPLACEMENT, let us
say, of the starry influx from one sign to anotherwithout anyALLOWANCE
being made in the astrologer's rules for any such change, has been one of the
greatest obstructions to the popular spread of the art among EDUCATED
MINDS. Argues the scientist: The fiery influence of Aries, if depending
upon the stars of that constellation, ought now to be shedding forth their
caloric from the sign Pisces, and Aries ought to be lumbering along with the
3 THOMAS H. BURGOYNE & BELLE M. WAGNER
earthy Taurine nature. So, also, the lords of these signs ought to be changed,
but that they are not can be proved by the fact that our earliest records of
that dim, historic past show, equally as well as your latest text-book, that
Mars is the lord of Aries-a fiery planet in a fiery sign; but astrologers still say
that Pisces is watery and Aries fiery, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE, IF THE
STARS HAVE ANY INFLUENCE AT ALL. It is not necessary, say these
logical thinkers, to learn your abstruse science if we can demonstrate that
the very basis upon which your conclusions rest is in every sense fundamen-
tally false. The scientific facts of the case are as follows: The influence of the
twelve signs, as described by astrologers, is a delusion, because in all ages they
are reported the same; whereas WE KNOW that every 2,160 years each sign
retrogrades to the extent of thirty degrees, and, as your art does not make
allowance for this, it is false. For, if the influence of the twelve signs does not
emanate from the stars occupying the space of those signs, it must emanate
from nothing-a doctrine well suited, no doubt, to musty old sages of your
superstitious Chaldea, but quite out of court in our progressive age-the last
decade of our cultured and scientific nineteenth century.
So far, so good. And so the world rolls along its bright pathway in the heav-
ens, little heeding the logical conclusions of an exact science. But to an ini-
tiate of those inner principles of our planet's constitution all these mental
conflicts have a meaning and a purpose within Nature's divine economy; for
it is neither wise nor expedient that the masses, with popular science in the
lead, should grasp the truths which Mother Nature reserves ALONE for her
