Re: VMs: What do you think about Eight?

[Nick Pelling <nickpelling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

The numbers of divisions in the astronomical/cosmological pages have 
inspired many theories over the years - for example, I mentioned on-list in 
in 2002 that David Juste (of the Warburg Institute) had suggested to me 
that f67r2 (which is divided into 12 on the outside, but has an 
eight-pointed "starfish" inside, and with a dotted line probably indicating 
the start of a cycle) might indicate that the chart is a functional tool 
for converting between two house systems.

I don't know the history of eight-housed astrology/astronomy - perhaps 
finding more about these might be a good research project to follow in this 
respect.

BTW, we've also discussed agricultural calendars on-list:-
