The study compares two ancient systems for dividing the ecliptic into 36 decani, one based on zodiacal signs and the other on planets. The planetary system, despite a mathematical anomaly, was more prevalent and is explored for astrological reasons.

Area of Science:

  • Ancient Astronomy
  • Astrology
  • Historical Calendars

Context:

  • The 36 ecliptical decani (10° sectors) were historically allocated to zodiacal signs or planets.
  • Two primary distribution systems exist: zodiacal (36:12) and planetary (36:7).
  • The planetary system, beginning and ending with Mars, was more frequently adopted.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the distribution systems of ecliptical decani.
  • To explain discrepancies in Manilius's zodiacal catalogue by referencing the planetary system.
  • To investigate the astrological reasons for the prevalence of the planetary decani system.

Summary:

  • The zodiacal system assigns decani to 12 signs, while the planetary system assigns them to 7 planets.
  • Manilius's work presents a zodiacal system with an error, which is clarified by comparison with the planetary system.
