Star Man
The zodiac man, from "Les Tres Riches Heures de Duc du Barry."
In Medieval times, today would’ve been a big day. There’s something astrologists call a Cardinal T cross underway in the skies August 6th through 7th, which means….I have no idea what. But I know it’s big.
Centuries ago, the well-educated were much more fluent in star-speak. Calendars contained “zodiac men,” like this one, found in the famous 15th century manuscript, Les Tres Riches Heures de Duc du Barry, and astro-physicians explained that every constellation was linked to a different part of the anatomy. Predictions about health, life, and conflict were made accordingly.
I don’t feel anything yet, do you?
Another Medieval zodiac man.
I did have a very weird day that day. xo
So nice to see your comment here, K. The only comments I usually get are from people offering discount pharmaceuticals. Like, dozens of them every day. And it has nothing to do with the configuration of the stars….Thanks for reading and writing in! xx
