This comes to meet the great division between the first 6 signs and houses as individual, inaugurated by Aries, and the remaining 6 as collective, inaugurated by Libra. This is visibly so in the cycle of nature and in the moods that they cause us, but what is new and revolutionary is Rudhyar's perspective of attributing to the Yang-Summer the value of INDIVIDUAL (bodily, personal and concrete) and to Winter-Yin the value of COLLECTIVE (social, mental, virtual or symbolic). We know that Yang-Summer is expansive, active, extroverted, cheerful, vital, conscious, and productive and that Yin-Winter is receptive, introverted, thoughtful, sad, non-vital (hibernation, sleep, rest, death), unconscious, and cumulative. However, in order to avoid any confusion, I use the terms "force of Summer" and "force of Winter" meaning the two great energies that follow on one another and intermingle, producing all that we know. Equi-nox comes from “aequinoctium” (aequus nocte), "equal night" and sol-stice comes from “solstitium” (sol sistere), "still Sun", or stationary Sun.ĭane Rudhyar, the great holistic astrologer, in his book "The Pulse of Life" where he develops the twelve signs, speaks of “the force of Day" and “the force of Night" meaning yang and yin forces that are going to be intertwined during the year. It is as if there were two basic seasons, one yang and the other yin, with four times of change: two equinoxes, spring and autumn, which is when the two great seasons begin -they are turning points, with many changes-, and two solstices, summer and winter, which is when these seasons have reached their peak and begin to decline -they are more stable points. Anyway, seasons are magical and influence us enormously, determining ultimately the twelve signs (the “minor stations”) and our destiny marked by our birth at some point in that annual cycle.ĭuring the annual trip of the Sun, there are two great stages: one bright and hot, and the other darker and colder. A certain esoteric tradition affirms that before human evolution, the axis of the Earth was straight, and that one mysterious civilization caused it to tilt for spiritual purposes: the biological plan of animal and plant evolution, and the plan for the civilization of cultures. Only planet Earth has such definite climatic seasons, because it is the only planet with living beings and whose axis is tilted, moving away and toward the Sun like a spinning top during the annual cycle, thus allowing for great biological diversity, landscapes and weather phenomena that cause different moods. This is the reason why Greek mythology talks about the "Sun chariot" (Helios) as a vehicle that carries the Sun god and describes the daily trip in the sky during the day and night with four stages: sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight and its annual trip that includes the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The name "seasons" refers to the stages and stations of the Sun in the sky, just like the stations in a train trip (in Spanish “estación” is used both for seasons and railway stations). However, seasons are still so important that they define the basic cycle of astrological signs. Modern human beings have lost intimate contact with the seasons, but agricultural or peasant peoples were much more aware of them.
So I'm sure that's why she was in the shipyard for the thirteenth time undergoing a refit and repairs when she was captured, lucky for us, unlucky for them.The Seasons of the Year and Astrology - The Archetypal Cycle by Manuel Ignacio Quiles Introduction But starships aren't cheap, even ones that aren't capable of extra galactic travel. Sold to the lord of the system for what I'm sure was a "very good price", she was well past her prime and ready for retirement. Originally captured as a "prize" during a successful raid of a shipyard in a back-water planet, she had already seen the measure of her years. She's undergone the years, and not the finest work. Pirates, what can you say, have no sense of style.) is an over-thrusted destroyer. The Reddy, as she's called by the crew, (I once tried to get them to call it "The Ready" to signify she was always ready, but it didn't take.

It was a pain reinstalling the operating system, but well worth having command over the ship. Only time I ever missed him was when I needed the control codes to ship.

Captain Johns was a pickle of a man, craggy face full of warts, with a sour personality to match. I got my ship the same way most pirates get theirs, "inherited" from the previous captain.
