Today astronomers divide the sky above the Northern hemisphere in 360 degrees, misleadingly setting the 0 meridian at the first point of Aries, the so-called “celestial prime meridian.” The 0 meridian is set there, astronomers claim, because the zodiacal sign Aries was the constellation in which the sun rose at the beginning of the New Year in the classical age of the Greek astronomers. The modern celestial prime meridian set according to a zodiacal age provides an imperfect benchmark; due to the Precession of the equinox, all 12 signs of the zodiac will have appeared as the backdrop of the rising New Year sun. In the beginning of civilization the celestial Prime Meridian was not set in Aries. The ancient “anchor” of the heavens with the earth, the location of the “pillar” uniting the two, was not assigned to the symbol in which the sun rose at the start of the New Year. It was assigned to the star that out-shines all others in the Northern Hemisphere.
