You know the idea of 12 months vs 13 lunar months obviously - I wonder what applying that framework to the Great Year would reveal, if anything.
iirc some ancient cultures had 13 symbol zodiacs
The math wouldn't change but there would be an Era of Ophiuchus (not a sphinx) that would overlap with others.
It does change the math slightly no? We go from 12 “Months” of ~2160 years to 13 “Months” of ~2000 years, though I suppose overall the math isn’t changing, still 72 years to one degree and so on
oh? Ficus you say?!
No, the other signs stay around 2,160 average, while Ophiuchus just would take time away from neighbors Scorpius and Sagittarius and leave the same total. The actual astronomical boundaries based on the included stars have widely varying swaths of the equator, so the number of years of any sign can vary hundreds of years from 2,160.
The year has about 12-7/19 moons to it so it gets sometimes 12 sometimes 13. The great year is always 360 degrees, invariant, and they can be divvied up either 12 or 13 ways with any proportions you like.
