Description
In this study of the history of the zodiac, first submitted in 2004 as his Ph.D. thesis, Robert Powell traces the history of the zodiac back to the sixth/fifth centuries B.C., with huge implications: the key point being that the signs of the sidereal zodiac, each thirty degrees long, coincide closely with the 12 astronomical constellations of the same name, while the signs of the tropical zodiac, since they are defined in relation to the vernal point, now have no direct relationship to the corresponding zodiacal constellations, owing to the precession of the equinoxes. This book, the result of thirty years of research, is intended not only for scholars but for general readers as well.
