Astrological Symbology

[Edmond Wollmann - The Arthurian One]

Symbols of the constellations, much like the ones we use today, were
found on ancient Sumerian boundary stones. They were called Kudurru,
and depict celestial images in a circle with a snake that, according to
scholar Zecharia Sitchin, represents the Milky Way.** The Sumerian
words for these celestial symbols were:

GU.ANNA - "heavenly bull" - Taurus
MASH.TAB.BA - "twins" - Gemini
DUB - "pincers, tongs" - Cancer (the crab)
UR.GULA - "lion" - Leo
AB.SIN - "whose father was Sin" - Virgo (the maiden)
ZI.BA.AN.NA - "heavenly fate" - Libra (the scales)
GIR.TAB - "clawer, cutter" - Scorpio
PA.BIL - "defender" - Sagittarius (the archer)
SUHUR.MASH - "goat-fish" - Capricorn
GU - "Lord of the waters" - Aquarius (the water-bearer)
SIM.MAH - "fishes" - Pisces
KU.MAL - "field dweller" - Aries (the ram)

There were even ephemerides in Sumer. Stones covered with phenomenal
numbers of cuneiform lines of figures have been discovered. These
appear to be much like our own ephemerides, and used for calculating
the positions of sun , moon, cometary activitiy.

**Sitchin, Z. When Time Began (1993).

"The Arkana Dictionary of Astrology" by Gettings

Symbols of the constellations

are very pretty, unlike that childishly crude 'drawing' of yours, Edmo.

I have plans coming up in May, so do please crush me in court before
then, 'kay?

Just as you are not recognized as a counselor by california State law.

The AFA is a hobbyist group, and do not grant any professional status.
