The Gregorian calendar spaces leap years to make its average year 365.2425 days long, approximating the 365.2422-day tropical year that is determined by the Earth's revolution around the sun.

A tropical year is the time that the sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons, as seen from Earth. This differs from the time it takes Earth to complete one full orbit around the sun as measured with respect to the fixed stars, the sidereal year, by about 20 minutes because of the precession of the equinoxes.

The rule for leap years is:

"Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100, but these centurial years are leap years if they are exactly divisible by 400. For example, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not leap years, but the years 1600 and 2000 are." - United States Naval Observatory

In old times only two season were used. One season favors the northern hemisphere and the other season favors the southern hemisphere.

The rosy cross represents the cross and four seasons of the zodiac. The four elements are represented with following colors:

1. Earth (black, brown, earth yellow, earth green)
2. Water (blue)
3. Air (yellow)
4. Fire (red)

The four elements are represented with following zodiac signs:

1. Earth (Taurus)
2. Water (Aquarius)
3. Air (Eagle <Scorpio>)
4. Fire (Leo)

The correct order of the elements in the zodiac is Earth, Fire, Air, Water. We have 2 pairs of opposite elements Earth, Air and Fire, Water. They are located on a circle, so it does not matter where we start:

1. E-F-A-W
2. F-A-W-E
3. A-W-E-F
4. W-E-F-A

"Water, Earth, Fire, Air. Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked! Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A 100 years passed and my brother and I discovered the new avatar, an air bender named Aang. And although his air bending skills are great, he has a learn before he is ready to safe anyone. But I believe Aang can safe the world."

- Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender

In the images at the beginning we have the wrong order of the elements in the zodiac: Earth, Fire, Water, Air. We have 2 pairs of opposite elements Earth, Water and Fire, Air. They are located on a circle so it does not matter where we start:

1. E-F-W-A
2. F-W-A-E
3. W-A-E-F
4. A-E-F-W

There is the sommer solstice, tropic of cancer and the winter solstice, tropic of capricorn. Those are the points when the sun's zenith begins to move in the opposite direction. We have the spring equinox and the automn equinox, those are the points when the sun's zenith crosses the equator. There are the four major sabbats and the four minor sabbats. Solstices and equinoxes are the minor sabbats. The major sabbats are the points in the middle, between an equinox and a solstice. A sabbat is a holy night between two zodiac signs. Planets literally means wandering. The stars of the zodiac are fixed stars. They do not move.

The zodiac is an arbitrarily archetypial division of the year in 12 months, because time is an continuum and it can be divided endlessly. What zodiac represents what archetype is also arbitrarily. Every year the four seasons repeat. Every year we have the same 12 months. Every year similar things happen in the same months. From the perspective of agriculture, we need to sow and harvest at the right time. We celebrate harvest festivals. Food on the table was not always a given in the past compared to today. Maybe we also had more spirituality in the past compared to today.

If an astrologist reads your horoscope it is self-evident that the person can not really see in the future and predict your future. Criticism of astrology in this regard is pointless and ridiculous. Of course it is not to be taken seriously. It seems there are people out there who do not understand fun anymore. The astrologist will use her imagination, her personal knowledge of you and all knowledge she possess to try to imagine a future for you. She will ask you questions first and create a personal profile. Since the life of most human beings is very similar, it is not very hard to guess some things correctly. The astrologer can imagine multiple different things happening to you. Just one thing needs to actually happen for you to believe in its magical power. Most divination works on a psychological level as future programming. If you always think about your horoscope consciously or subconsciously and believe in it, the probability of the prediction to come true increases. There exists the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Every zodiac is assigned an archetype. So if someone tells you early in your childhood that you are a Virgo and all Virgos are self-centered, critical, skeptical, finicky and high strung. You may start to embody that archetype consciously or subconsciously. But most of the time you will embody that archetype randomly by pure chance. Most probably you are good at representing several archetypes: your job, your career, your role in the family, your hobbies. While at the same time you are a bad representation of other archetypes. You are a god using an avatar living on planet earth. When you mature you realize that you can not only embody your own zodiac archetype. You can embody ANY zodiac archetype like a mime artist. Like the avatar who needs to master all four elements, you might try to master all zodiac archetypes. To become enlightened you need to master all emotions and archetypes. You will never master all archetypes. You need to realize that necessity will ultimately force you to embody even an archetype you are not good at. Astrology is just an esoteric science of ancient psychology. The astrologist embodies "The Magician." archetype also known as trickster archetype. The person getting his horoscope embodies the "The Fool." archetype also known as monkey archetype.

**The Archetype of Virgo**

**by Jef Bartow**

With Virgo, we again swing from a masculine archetype to the feminine archetype. This time, instead of a symbol of the divine mother, it is a symbol of the virginal divine feminine. Except that this divine feminine is not without experience in matter, but the emergence of the divine feminine through purification and renewed innocence.

Mythologically, Virgo has been identified with a number of gods and goddesses. This is due to much of astrology considering Mercury (Hermes) as ruling Virgo. I conclude that Chiron rules Virgo and therefore Chiron is one mythological masculine representation that applies. The other is that Virgo represents both the divine virgin and the virgin carrying the Christ child. Three female goddesses apply here including Astraea, Persephone and Artemis.

Chiron had the typical appearance of a centaur, body and legs of a horse, arms and head of a man. Unlike other centaurs, he was very wise, "for he was learned in music, medicine, hunting and warfare" and the art of prophecy. He was noted for his wisdom and gentleness. He instructed the youthful Achilles who became one of the greatest warriors in mythology; his downfall only coming because of his Achilles' heel (a key Chiron symbol).

The lesser known Astraea was considered the "goddess of innocence and purity." She was linked to justice by many, but this is because her mother was Themis (Justice). Astraea was the last immortal to leave earth, and did so because of the corruption of Man and the resulting corruption of nature. She is considered the "just virgin" with a "complex character, fertile and barren at the same time; orderly and righteous, yet tinged with oriental moonecstasies."

Both Artemis and Persephone are linked here because of their virginity or chastity. Interestingly, the term virgin is now heavily misused. The term virgin or virginity actually symbolizes the "purified emotions, or purified lower nature;" and the "immaculate one, who consecrates herself to the purpose of bearing and bring forth the Christ." Even as used in the Bible, virgin does not denote being single or not having had sex. The actual keynotes regarding virginity are keys to the archetype of Virgo.

**Personality Conditioning**

Before the spiritual Virgo is actualized, it demonstrates many characteristics of the feminine immersed in nature and matter. This feminine is linked to the nurturing mother, gestation, fertility and barrenness at the same time. Similar to the ideal mother of the family, Virgo represents and conditions us to be the industrious planner, with a flair for organization and setting up schedules. Feeling our own vulnerability, we tend to be modest, patient, humble with a meticulous attention to technique and procedure.

Positively conditioned, we obtain from Virgo a craving for perfection, an inquiring mind, efficiency at times of crisis and an ability to focus on a project all the way through to completion. The positive traits of being practical, useful, systematic, considerate, reliable and industrious epitomize a key symbol of Virgo: "adaptable practicality." This demonstrates through the ability to be "absolutely honest and un-glamorized with the "ability to adjust itself rapidly to any new situation." Further keywords here include analysis, discrimination, purity and self-integrity.

Before we have purified our emotions, we express the instinctive side of Virgo as being self-centered, critical, skeptical, finicky and high strung. As part of our Personality, we are influenced to be indiscriminate, overly analytical, aloof, and overly obedient to methodology. At the extreme we flee into ritualized or obsessional behavior. More subtly, we face the "conflict between the safe, well-paid and barren external compliance and the fertile but often lonely path of inner loyalty."

**Individuating the Self: the Search for Meaningful Service**

As already mentioned, the archetype of Virgo is characterized by externalizing a divine feminine from our entrenched emotional nature. This part of our spiritual Self comes from a "repolarization of the emotional nature itself." Through discrimination, self-purification and balancing the mind and body, we become devoted to spiritual discipleship. As a spiritual disciple, we learn to "criticize dispassionately and without prejudice" in becoming objective to our own ways of behavior.

The key to this repolarization and purification is technique. "Self-purification is the essential means to technical mastery." By reorganizing our desires and reorienting our impulses, we can become devoted to spiritual discipleship. What this brings is a "reflective, analytical understanding" with the power and purity to fulfill purpose and destiny.

Our focus on emerging from the control of matter, we learn to become the healer or shaman of ourselves and others. As Virgo represents the Christ-life, latent and unexpressed, we must embrace the alone-ness of the human soul in order to realize our soul potential through some new tangible form. This soul potential is symbolically represented by living the Christ life.

**Living a Spiritual Life**

Our Christ Self is ultimately both masculine and feminine, the divine hermaphrodite. Virgo represents the feminine part of this in many ways. To live our divine feminine through Virgo is to become inclusive, pure and potent, focusing our power and purity to the fulfillment of purpose and destiny. As we bring order out of chaos within our material and spiritual life, we not only receive but become the grace of divinity.

As a synthesis of the feminine, we live the virgin mother through at least one part of our life. The subtle and magical power of the Feminine gives us the gift of divine grace and wisdom. Living the spiritual archetype of Virgo, we in the light of God wield the sword of discrimination to help cleanup the cosmos while nurturing and helping to reveal the hidden spiritual reality to those we contact and/or take responsibility for in our service to God.
