The Stolen Zodiac

The most influential strategic rebranding in history was done almost 1700 years ago. A group of priests who wanted the prime real estate and donations controlled by priestesses, asked their patron for help. With the guidance Emperor Constantine, five of the six symbols representing feminine Signs of the Zodiac were downgraded. These are the symbols society used today. Are they important? More people know their Sun Sign than their blood type, or the names of any of their great grandparents. The Zodiac is humanity's oldest teaching tool for helping tribes manage their food resources. By changing the symbols a band of Greek dominated priests created patriarchy, which then spread with the various branches of the catholic church. The story of the rebranding is a fascinating look at the power of symbols. Hint: This talk changes the way that some people in the audience will see themselves, mostly for the better.
At the core of this story is how and why the symbols of the twelve Signs of the Zodiac were changed. The original symbols served as a celestial blackboard for teaching generations of children about how to find food and manage resources in the proper seasons. The Signs were changed to serve the politics and religion that supported the patriarchy. Does this matter in our modern society? More people know their astrological Sign than their blood type, and the symbols they are relating to were designed to keep women down and steal their money and power! So yes, it matters! The other part of the story is how the Sacred Geometry connecting the celestial bodies to the seasons was broken. They built a symbolic wall that penned women into very restricted roles, while damaging the practice of Astrology for centuries by degrading its central philosophical tool.
That began to shift in 1920 when women demanded the vote. Then ten years later Pluto was discovered and a group of male Astrologers tried to break the geometry even more. Up to then men had a good run, doing whatever they wanted, like Adam in the Garden of Eden, before Eve showed up. But when the first modern computers were introduced In the 1940’s everything began changing because women were better typists. When the DaVinci Code was published people started believing that maybe there was a patriarchal conspiracy behind their troubles. Then twenty years later the Movie Barbie became a bright pink, billion dollar, anti-patriarchal manifesto, hidden, as they say in the movie, behind a giggle.
