Rome's She-Wolf Younger Than Its City

[The Augusta]

One statue does not prove that the wolf was not Rome's symbol. However trivial it may seem, Rome's mythical founding on April 21st,753 would give Rome an interesting "astrological mix. The sun in Taurus{the immovable object}, likely Aries=wolf rising{the irresistible force}, and the moon in {driven} Aquarius. Astronomers scoff & Astrologers disagree. But for those familiar with the latter. This combination does seem to fit the "Roman character." Any thoughts?

 

OK, Eterna - ignore all these scoffers! I'll take you on....

 

Why would Rome's ascendant sign have been Aries? More likely to be something to do with the Great Year (Rome was founded in the Age of Aries). And Aries was a ram even in ancient times, was it not? Have you looked at the online Ephemerides to get your moon sign here? Was the moon in Aquarius on 21st April 753 BC? I would certainly buy the Aries bit as it fits with the military ethos of early Rome. But if they were inventing the founding date to fit astrology they would probably have been better with a Capricorn moon for ambition and discipline. You would also have to note which date the sun changed signs in 753BC too, to see if Rome was Aries instead of Taurus; although I agree Taurus would also fit the character.

 

Do you realise that nobody else (well, perhaps with the exception of Lost Warrior) will know what we're talking about? Unless, of course, we have some closeted stargazers on here

I know exactly what you are talking about...

 

And yes, it does fit the character.
