ACADEMIC ZODIAC KLAUDIO ZIC Academy for RTRRT and Scientific Astrology ABSTRACT 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. Subject headings: solar system – Academic Zodiac, astrology – precession of the ascendant, meridian constellations Online material: www.lulu.com/astrology Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing; 1. INTRODUCTION 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. 2. OBSERVATIONS 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. 3. DATA REDUCTION 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 4. MODEL The Academic Zodiac spawns further models. The Academic Zodiac with its standard 22 IAU constellations stands apart fro the set of eastern ascendants, whose number is 16. 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. 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. 5. DISCUSSION 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. 6. SUMMARY Neglect and occult reason have reduced the zodiac to speculative game for the masses. Asinine presumptions have Spica Virginis in Libra and soon Scorpius. 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. Ascendant Pisces is being interpreted as Capricorn, even when Capricornus can not rise at due east for the epoch. The Sun is in Libra for Sai Baba’s birthday, November 23rd. 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. - Lord of the Zodiac , posted 06/19/08 |

This is the best sci-fi/horror/fantasy genre book store in San Francisco. Regular events such as signings/readings and a hypo-allergenic hairless cat named Ripley. What more could you ask for? The prices are reasonable for collectors, too. Where else would you find affordable rare Clark Ashton Smith volumes? Very author friendly, if you happen to be in town... Drop by. - Unsubscribed , posted 10/18/04 |

In addition to having such a great selection of new and used books, the service here is beyond excellent. I once ordered some books through their website because they weren't currently in stock and I didn't have time to go in there to order in person. When the books came in, they called me to let me know - and when they discovered that I worked in the City, one of their staff members actually drove to my office to deliver the books in person! I was absolutely amazed by that level of service. - Kevin , posted 10/16/04 |

Ok, not only is this because it happens to cater to my favorite genre, but they have entire walls of original 1950s-70s paperback books that are all 1.50!!! Bring in 5 bucks, and leave with a month's worth of bliss. - Unsubscribed , posted 10/15/04 |

Not only do they have the best selection of new and used genre books, but the staff knows *everything.* Or close enough. On top of that they are very community friendly, hosting all sorts of events and signings throughout the year, including their dusk-til-dawn Halloween party. Highly recommended., There's also an incredibly cool hairless cat, Ripley. - Espana , posted 10/15/04 |
