Astrology has been studied on the surface of two dimensional plane projected. This has been
an endued technique of astrology since the age of ancient Sumerian in the northern hillside
of Mesopotamia in the West Asia located. In looking
at the sky at night they have sketched out an imaginary vision of philosophical pattern by
joining many stars in a group assembled. This is now called a constellation astronomically.
They found the planet Jupiter moving through twelve sets of constellation and returned to the
first one. Then they invented unit of one dozen that is compiled from twelve pieces of
merchandise handled. Our nowadays conventions using the numeral twelve are set on the memory
of works of ancient Sumerian participated.
In some twenty three hundred years
ago, the Grecian people have developed the astronomy and the mathematics studied. Then they
wrote the heavenly bodies in three dimensional scopes projected astronomically. On the other
hand, the study on astrology has been limited on the two dimensional surface until RAPHAEL
or Robert C. Cross Smith of England, 1975-1832 has published three dimensional studies on
astrology released. However, our nowadays study has returned to old two dimensional scope that
was used by the ancient people. In this website, the author will explore the reason of
failures in the system of RAPHAEL released.
Great Circle in the illustration above indicates a hypothetical cube centered at the center
of our global earth with the diameter of cube in an infinite scale of distance from us located.
All heavenly bodies either a set of constellation of stars, or twelve set of signs, or moving
planets are projected inside the surface of the cube illustrated. As the surface of
cube is located at the infinite distance from us, this shape can be imagined as made of two
dimensional plane surface. Any planet including Jupiter moves through on the locus of a planet
settled. Many heavenly bodies are recognized from the earth by being projected at the inside
surface of cube that is imagined as to be two dimensional plane surface.
Thus, the study of astrology is made on the two dimensional surface plane imagined. MC and IC in three dimensional arrangement is also described
in two dimensional view.
