They used the zodiac to not only map the sky, but keep track of the movement of the wanderers.

As they was looking up, they started noticing things below.

Like when the sun was in the goaded horn or the crab or the ram, or the scales mark the beginning of the four seasons.

When the sun was in, the bull or the lion or the scorpion or.

Or the water pour marked the middle of the four seasons.

And when the sun was in the twins, the maiden, the archer or the fishes marked the change of the season.

It began to be used as what we know as a calendar.

You can easily tell what season we're in just by looking at the constellation the sun rises in every morning.

Since I brought up the sun, it may be a good time to shift into the planets themselves.

What does the sun do?

It gives off light.

This light is pretty much the basis from which all of the concepts are formed.

I keep saying there is a yin and a yang to everything.

So the yang to light is darkness.

Now I said there are five wanderers and two luminaries.

The sun and the Moon are the two luminaries in the sky.

Why?

Because they give off the most light in the sky.

When you look up, the sun being the head honcho, the sun is the one giving off the light.

The Moon doesn't really give off light.

It receives light from the sun.

What we see of the moon is because of its position to the sun and the reflection of the light.

The moon is full when it's directly opposite the Sun.

Full moon equals full light from the sun.

One way to know where the moon is located is when there is a full moon.

Is whoever is celebrating their birthday that month, the Moon, full moon will be opposite that sign.

Going back to the Yin and yang for a second.

When it comes to the luminaries, the sun gives off the light.

The Moon receives the light.

There is the yin and yang.

Another thing.

Did you say something?

I said that was nice.

I hadn't thought about it like that.

The the sun is giving away the light and the moon is receiving it.

Yes, they're in a given receive sort of dynamic.

Yes.

The moon reflects light.

It doesn't give off any light at all.

Without the sun, the moon will not glow at all.

I like that.

Another thing.

The sun's rays are penetrating.

Male the moon receives the light from the sun.

Female we all know the names of the planets.

But different cultures name them different things.

But the names that may stand out to us modern folks is Helos, which means the sun.

Selene, which is the moon.

Hermes is Mercury.

The twinkling one is Aphrodite and it's Venus.

I mean, wait, hold up.

Hermes is Mercury, the twinkling one.

Aphrodite is Venus, the light bringer airs is Mars, the Fiery one.

Zeus, Jupiter, the radiant one.

And Kronos, Saturn, the shining one.

If you watched any Greek era movie and read anything around this era, you have heard these names before.

They are the Greek gods.

But what you may not have known was these Greek Gods were referring to these wanderers moving about the sky.

I got a question for you, Claudia, go first.

Those names that I just read off, did anything stand out to you about them?

Yeah, basically these are the like the Greek mythology names.

Okay, that's one thing.

What's another thing?

Let's see.

Trying to guess what Paul's thinking.

That's, that's a hard one.

Well, I thought it was interesting that most of like you mentioned at the end, you know, Kronos, the shining one, I think you said Zeus, the radiant one.

They're all kind of like referring to light.

To light.

Yes, yes.

Now the one thing I did want to bring to your attention is not the Greek gods names given to the planets, but the words after the Radiant one, the twinkling one, the light Bringer, the Fiery one, the Radiant one, the Shining one, all have something in common in their names.

You know what it is?

Is it the thing with the seven rays?

No, it's a type of light.

There you go.

It's a type of light.
