reading about some of the earliest formations of the zodiac, when “new” shit was still being thrown around and added from/to the old days of just the planets positions in or near the Moon were the only things of importance, in ancient persian history and came across this:

“

The triangles is one of the few direct Mesopotamian ancestors of Hellenistic astrological concepts. Another are the dodekatemoria, the division of each zodiacal sign into twelve parts of 2 and 1/2°each, forming a microzodiac beginning with the name of the sign in case (thus the first dodekatemorion of Taurus is Taurus and the last Aries). Since this division of the zodiacal signs is attested in the Gestirn-Darstellungen and the astrological SammeltafelTU 14:6-20,one may assume that not only the zodiacal sign itself but also the position with reference to the microzodiac was of significance.”

one true thing they did actually try for a while, was dividing each of the twelve zodiacs, further into 12 zodiacs each, for a total of 144, and each micro zodiac named for the larger one

so you could be Taurus-Taurus, Taurus-Gemini, Taurus-Cancer and etc

and i just. realized, yknow, the only thing that makes sense in this crazy world of 2018 is that Andrew Hussie is really just the reincarnation of some ancient Mesopotamian god and I’m okay with that.
