A sky with a history
How observation became a language of symbols, and why its history matters.
A shared inheritance
The twelve-part zodiac took shape in Babylonia around the fifth century BCE. Its ideas travelled through Egypt and the Greco-Roman world, changing as people translated them.
Reading the archive
An ancient chart records a way of thinking as well as a sky. Ask who made it, for whom, and with which instruments. Age alone cannot establish whether a prediction works.
The m00n perspective
We approach this inheritance as cultural history and a symbolic language for reflection. A useful question opens possibilities; it does not turn a celestial pattern into an unavoidable fate.

Historical evidence, astronomical observation and symbolic interpretation are different kinds of knowledge. We keep their boundaries visible.
