The Cosmos and the Zodiac: Contemporary Cosmology and a Traditional Representation of the Whole.
Alain Negre examines the thesis that the history of the universe, derived from contemporary cosmology, reveals the symbolic structure of the zodiac. While the 12 signs of the zodiac have retained the names of the constellations that stretch around the ecliptic circle, in reality, their essential nature is based on archetypal or qualitative numbers structured according to the four quadrants of a circle, each divided into three parts. This 4×3 numerical structure is a particular vibration of the world’s soul around an unknowable ordering center, about which a circle of archetypes forms. Signs are not archetypes but archetypal figures or symbols. Clothed in a rich symbolic fabric, they enable a new interpretation of the contemporary cosmological narrative. Naturally, the search for reflections and/or structural homologies between scientific and mythical discourse can only be understood by first distinguishing the various levels of reality.
