When was the Most Recent Age of Taurus? The Vernal Equinox Point could be seen against the constellation of Taurus in about 4525 BC and left Taurus to move into the constellation of Aries in about 1875 BC, using modern constellation boundaries. We have no choice to use modern boundaries, because constellation boundaries were not defined by Babylonian astrologers until more than a thousand years after the Vernal Equinox Point passed out of what we call the constellation of Taurus. In fact they did not as yet possess the concept of a Zodiac at all, their astrology being firmly based on Omen Astrology. |
