Hey folks,
Can someone please recommend a couple good references on the precession of
the equinoxes?
I've slogged through Hamlet's Mill and though I have looked I have not found
a concise book that focuses mainly on precession - specifically explaining
the history and astronomy of the concept and related archeoastronomy and
mythographic theories.
On this same note, since precession plays into astrology I figured there
would be a good astrology/precession book, which I haven't found. A question
that has come up is - if in popular sun sign astrology Aries starts on the
vernal equinox, yet the sun these days rises on that day between Pisces and
Aquarius how is the vernal equinox the start of Aries?
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
James
PS - Recently saw Inception and thought there's probably a symbolic link
between the "spinning top" totem and the precession of the equinoxes,
considering who wrote, produced and directed the film.
