Barren sign
|
|
In astrology, a barren sign is a sign of the Zodiac that, according to ancient astrological tradition, is not likely to possess strong powers of procreation, i.e. they are "barren". The signs most associated with infertility are Gemini, Leo. In addition, Aries, Sagittarius, and Aquarius are also believed to quite often have problems in matters of reproduction and are therefore considered "semi-barren". William Lilly (1647) in CHAPTER CXVIII of his book Christian Astrology described the signs as follows: In The Anthology, Valens is translated as describing Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius as either "unfruitful", "unprolific" or "barren." Contrarily he refers to Taurus as "the wealth-bringing zoidion of the cosmos" and Libra and Scorpio as signs of property loss. Most modern astrologists no longer ascribe to this premise.<ref name="IAA" /> |
