Lost Star Sign
Jan 03, 2010, 09:11
I've always been put off from the White Goddess by (a) its size and (b) the nits that thought it was great. Tree calendar - no. Flower almanac - probably. There is a myth that the zodiac was divided into thirteen signs, once upon a time, but it doesn't bear scrutiny. Something to do with a planet that broke up, to become the asteroid belt, with the extra sign between Libra and Scorpio, I think, or maybe Virgo and Libra.

There's a a good link on that obscure website you quote ( http://cura.free.fr/decem/06heath.html#Ref3 ) with some relevant observations. Of course, the archaeologists won't bother to consider it!
