The two are still united in the shape of a larger circle but now the unity has opened up to a new space. In the glyph of Cancer we can see that one circle and one line from Gemini have separated from the other circle and line from Gemini. The rapid growth of the seedlings is now given over to steady, slower paced maturation. The fruits are released from the earth and taken away. What was only potential in Aquarius has come step by step into manifestation.Ĭancer (July 20 – August 9) is the time of the beginning of the harvest. The rush of spring is now over and a mellow feeling of completion comes into nature. Even the annual plants which were flowering profusely start to slow down. In Taurus (May 13 – June 20) the growing processes which wereunfolding in Aries have now reached fruition. The bound feeling of Pisces has given way to a euphoric soaring of the forces of lushness and growth present in Aries. Many annuals now begin the process of flowering while the early spring flowering plants are setting fruit. The same picture is found in the fruits which have been fertilized earlier in spring and are now beginning to swell high up in the branches of the trees.
The cosmic forces of growth have left the surface of the earth where the humans are toiling and they are hovering up in the realm of potential as the seeding processes begin to unfold in the winter grains now a few feet above the ground. This is the ancient image of the husbandman or steward of the land. The glyph shows the human and the earth wedded. The human is connected to the earth, digging, weeding, planting and tending to the endless gardening tasks of spring.
Zodiac glyphs rubber stamps full#
This is a time in the dynamic year when the spring grasses and the new shoots of the greenwood on the trees are in full growth shooting out into space seeking the sun. The glyph of Aquarius (February 16 – March 10) is composed of two horizontal wavy lines one set above the other below. In western astrology the setting of spring would be when the sun is in the constellation of Aquarius, the water bearer. The dynamic year begins with what was known to the ancient Chinese as the setting of spring. Seen from this perspective, glyphs of the constellations can give us pictures of the energies flowing in our gardens throughout what we could call the dynamic year. Reading glyphs in this way is somewhat of a lost art today but it is possible to look at the glyphs with an eye towards their energetic signature. In this way the priests could enter into the energetic dynamics of nature for the purpose of reading the signs in the heavens and how they were to play out on the earth. In the trance they could tell the future and were able to tell the peasants when to plant and when to take the bull out to breed with the cows. In the ancient world the glyphs were carved into stone and the priests would run their fingers along the groove to enter into a trance state. The constellations of the zodiac are traditionally rendered in pictographs called glyphs. The sidereal ephemeris takes into consideration the precession of the equinoxes in determining the the location of the stars and planets as they are today. Editor’s Note: Dennis uses a sidereal ephemeris to determine the dates for each constellation in which the sun is active.
