Invictus 1 -0- 1

Yygdrasilian

For your consideration: 1☉1 Invictus
Constellated by its digital Roots, Tarot may be aligned within the matrix of our Tree.

‘At the joints’ of this matrix are the positions of the Planets on the Sol Invictus of 1BC:
http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/You...1.5&showmd=6.0&imgsize=512&scheme=0&elements=

Consistent throughout this pattern, the union of opposites: Sun+Moon, Male+Female, Mars+Venus, 5/STAFF+6\PILLARS :is obtained with the aid of a 9\BRIDGE.

We have seen how, in relation to 4/CROWN, the pontifex maximus corrects the lunisolar calendar
(http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=117612&page=1).
One can easily imagine that, in the ancient star lore, Ophiucus/Serpentarius (the ‘13th’ constellation thru which the Sun passes) literally holds the snake and performs this operation. In this example, the Healer has mended the disparity between The Sun (as exalted in Aries, 19°) and 18: THE MOON (Pisces) by waiting for the correct moment to penetrate the hymen of Virgo with the Phallus of the Ram’s Head. But, this being an operation performed to ‘marry’ the Solar and Lunar year, the ‘Serpent-Holder’ is working on Time as it affects the denser plane.

18+19 = 12+25

It is with the BRIDGE made on a higher plane that we see one of the Planetary Keys to 1☉1 Invictus: ♃♍
Told in the CHRYStos mystery, the ‘Exile’ of Jupiter from the House of Virgo is an allegorical formula for Deus, the Father, being ‘born’ of a Virgin. By the same union, the Head (Sun) and back of Head (Pisces) are joined together, marking this incarnation of the 'Dying God' in the Age of Pisces. Joining Hand & Palm, or CROSSing the vesica piscis, is part of a formula for obtaining Gold from The Sun's Eye.

Another alignment of Tarot Roots in the matrix of this Hermetic Tree is made by the phallic STAFF( ♉♐ ) as the path connecting YESOD (Moon) to TIPARETH (Sun): ☽♉ Sagittarius (Archer) being the path itself, Taurus and YESOD ‘overlap’; and it is in Taurus that the Moon is exalted: ♉ 3° + ♐☋ 3° + 3° ☊♊ : SUCCESS! Another key of the 1☉1 Invictus! In this, our quarter-arc of the Great Year serpent, The Bull (Earth) is The Foundation for the Fourteenth piece, as told in the Egyptian tale of Osiris’ 13 reassembled pieces, mummified in Ox Hide wrappings, and resurrected by ISIS attaching to him a golden phallus=14. The PILLARS therefore correspond to the Yoni of the VIRGIN Goddess who, in ‘marrying’ the phallic STAFF, turns the fourteenth interval to Gold: the double octave (a new cycle) is brought to life.

In a way, One might say Phi has been wedded to Pi.

And, who knows, this may explain the CHRYStening of the Visconti-Sforza at a wedding in 1441. By placing 44 between the Pillars: 1 -44- 1 :the relation to 14-ART may be read to equal Pi (44/14), and thereby resonate with the Great Work as a whole.

First minute of the Next Day...

Keys of the Sol Invictus, BC 1:
Mars in Aries
Sun: Capricorn-Sagittarius
Jupiter about to CROSS Virgo into...
Mercury conjunct Capricorn-Sagittarius
Venus in Aquarius
Moon in Taurus

Within the context of the symbolic architecture I’ve been describing, these Keys could be called 'blueprints of a sacred dilemma'.

231, the sum of our Triumphs = 22nd Triangle, 11th Hexagon, & 8th Octahedron. Being such a versatile figurate number, able to change into so many different forms, both Sepher Yetzirah & Tarot recognize its ‘mathemagical powers’.
In its guise as the 8th Octahedron (13 courses), One may see how the 6th Pythagorean triplet (11, 60, 61) ‘plugged’ into the CROSS (inscribing Circle a= 25π ) offers a formula in tune with the Golden Spiral as its weaves through the Octave... biting its’ own tail:


13th Interval
01 = 1
------------------------------------0 : C (0=22) : 261-262 Hz
12 ][=’14th Interval’ ][ 1100/14 = 25π ][1100’per sec.=speed of sound
02 = 5
----------1 : C#

03 = 14
----------2 : D

----------3 : D#
09
05 = 55
----------4 : E
08
06 = 91
----------5 : F
07 : 4/CROWN
07 = 140
----------6 : F#
06 [ 176:56 = π ][ 56= 4x14 =6th Tetrahedral
11 = 176 : ☿ spin-orbit resonance=3:2
---------------------------------7 : G : 391-392 Hz
05
09 = 201
----------8 : G#
04
10 = (216 +1) : 584 day ♀ synodic period = 216˚ (x5 = 8 Earth years)
---------------------------------9 : A = 440hz ][ 440/7:5 = 100π ][ 3:2=Perfect Fifth
03 = (225 +1) : ♀ orbit = 225 (x13 = 8 Earth years)
08
----------10 : A#
02
12 = 230
----------11 : B
01 = 13th Interval : Death
13 = 231
---------------------------------0=22 ][ 22:14 = π/2 :phase shift sinusoidal wave unison-octave

This -13- ( 8☿ ) -5-3 |♀| 2- sequence (13-8-5-3-2-1-1) divides the Octahedron into 3 sections which demonstrate a fundamental relationship between the Octave and the golden ratio. One should Note the relevance of Tarot’s traditional transposition of 8 & 11 within this context.

Six Sixes for sexagesimal counting on the clock; and also for the 36˚ to the decagonal matrix (s:r = golden ratio) in tune with our synodic cycle with Venus, and the architecture of Life woven into the double helix - the permutations of which (4 x10) resonate with the Chronocrater maximalis, the 800-year cycle of Jupiter overtaking Saturn’s orbit 10 times in each element of the zodiac.

The mother letters form the Tree, in descending order: 20-Shin, 0-Aleph, 12-Mem :which counted as years from the Sol Invictus, BC 1 = the Zero point in the Mayan ‘great cycle’. Is it not feasible that, using figurate numbers as a means of measuring the shape of time, different cultures could obtain the same results independently? Of course, given it’s utility as a mnemonic TooL, all it would take is just One magus to impart the teaching. A system based, essentially, on arranging pebbles in the dirt, could be very, very old and widely diffuse.... at least, that is, until the systematic destruction of ancient knowledge by edict of Theodosius I, and the general amnesia of humanity that has spread like a virus across the Earth, bringing it to the brink of our collective demise.

None of which is to presume I ‘know’ what will happen when the golden apple falls at our feet, reading: “Καλλίστη!”
But I suspect some you must already be aware of what I've been describing.
Is it not Time to 'enlighten' the world before, perhaps, it is too late?

Yyg, this is so obscure that you are unlikely to get responses. Please tell me what this has to do with Historical Research (into Tarot), or explain yourself more clearly. The idea of a forum is for the exchange of ideas, and in this case, ideas which are particular to Tarot History, you aren't going to get that exchange unless people can understand you. Or perhaps they do and are not interested in something so diverse from Tarot History.

Still trying to bridge a gap in understanding that is more a difference in perspective than due to any real disagreement. I trust that presenting a case for Tarot’s origins as an alchemical clavis encoding the positional astronomy of Dec.25, BC 1 might be of some historical interest; as would a discussion of Thoth’s book embodying a system of Hermetic metrology; and perhaps also the relevance of figurate numbers to understanding the architecture of Tarot and its synthesis of the Pythagorean quadrivium...

There is the implication that October 24th, 1441, within this context, possesses a numerological rationale for the marriage of Viscounti-Sforza as having potent magical significance with respect to the enumeration/glyphic system that is now wedded to the Tarot.

Ygg:.....alchemical clavis encoding the positional astronomy of Dec.25, BC 1....
Whose calendar are using to arrive at this conclusion Ygg? Bearing in mind that there is little (if any) science of 'astronomy' at B.C.1. I.E: Big Bang ! ? ( I'm not convinced about the B.B. theory. Try String Theory.)

But this surmising is in the wrong thread, you might be better off pinning down your dates in the Astrology section first.

A date marked by the positions of Planets uses the solar system for its' calendar. Though not exactly 'science' by today's standards, the Magi of antiquity had methods for calculating the periodic cycles of the 7 ‘Planets’. In particular, the Pythagorean mathematician-philosophers were able to integrate arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music (harmonics) within a system based on figurate numbers ...as does Tarot.

The fact that the positions of the planets on 12-25 BC1 read like blueprints for the assembly of Tarot (constellated by Root) within the framework of the Qabalah Tree makes an enigmatic connection between this deck of cards and the point from which we count the years of our calendar. On this point I can’t claim authorship - I looked up the planetary positions for that date for ‘other reasons’ and was intrigued to see the correlation. But 1 think 1 get the logic: a method for attributing qualitative power to Numbers (geometric form, planetary cycles, acoustic properties) is best realized in Time by reckoning One’s formulas from a point marking an end/beginning. And what better means for determining that date than the architecture of the system itself?

Okay, I need this broken down. 'the positions of the planets read like blueprints for the assembly of Tarot'.

One step at a time Yyg. What were the positions of the planets which made it so obvious that Tarot is connected. Why and how would someone look towards the planets and then assemble Tarot to form a calendar for us. Why 78 cards, why not other means of communication. How, do you make this connection?

I cannot see how the first paragraph can possibly relate to the second paragraph;
Para. (1)"...the Pythagorean mathematician-philosophers were able to integrate arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music (harmonics) within a system based on figurate numbers ...as does Tarot."

Para. (2) States a date in the year BC1. This would be the start of Planet Earth...?. I do not understand how the Greeks can have been around at that time....

I'm afraid it's not making any sense to me.

P.S. I'm supposing that by 'tarot' you mean the Trumps? The courts & pips preceeded them.

As the opening post of this thread demonstrates, such a ‘context’ is difficult to put into words without sounding...
...well, y’know ...crazy; which fits the role of ☿ as a Trickster - especially if One also entertains the possibility that the Planets' positions on 12-21-2012 give the Keys to solving this ‘sacred dilemma’: the 11th Cube to be completed in Time, ‘calculated’ from a Zero point marked by the planetary positions of 12-25-BC1.

In its form manifesting >1, the measure of this Cube = 2³ = Eight.
The dot matrix of such a Cube is made of 19 points = The Sun =3rd centered Hexagonal number.
11 Cubes 2³ = 88 = ☿ orbit.

In its guise as the Hexad completed in DAATH, this 11th Cube = the 11th hexagonal number, 231, the sum of our ‘Triumphs’.
This figurate number is also equivalent to the 8th Octahedron, the Harmonic Key demonstrating how this calendar cycle is also equivalent to 1 Octave**
