the upper row <strong>of</strong> the summer solstice area on the Small<br />
zodiac, there is only a minimal partial horoscope composed<br />
<strong>of</strong> Venus and Mercury. There are no other planets<br />
indicated there.<br />
In the middle row, there is a typical for the Egyptian <strong>zodiacs</strong><br />
symbol <strong>of</strong> the summer solstice — a man with a raised<br />
hand standing on a boat (see subsection 5.8.4, where we<br />
discussed this symbol on the Small Esna zodiac). Right<br />
next to it, there is a two-headed animal and a crocodile.<br />
These are again the symbols <strong>of</strong> the minimal partial horoscope:<br />
Mercury and Venus near the summer solstice point.<br />
On the left from Cancer, there is a figure <strong>of</strong> a warrior. It<br />
holds a raised sword in one hand and arrows in another. It<br />
is definitely a representation <strong>of</strong> Mars, but it is not completely<br />
clear to which partial horoscope it belongs: the<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the summer solstice or the autumn equinox.<br />
In the bottom row, on the right from Gemini, there is<br />
a familiar symbol <strong>of</strong> the summer solstice — a boat with<br />
a bull and a female figure. Notice a small arrow over the<br />
bull’s head. Even though the female holds no bow, we still<br />
can think that the arrows come from her (see subsection<br />
5.8.4). Furthermore, right behind the “Gemini Brackets,”<br />
there is a pair <strong>of</strong> male travelers standing on a boat. An<br />
almost identical pair <strong>of</strong> two male figures with hawk faces,<br />
which is a planetary symbol in the main horoscope, is<br />
following it. One can assume that the pair on the boat<br />
— a pull-out symbol, represents the same planet in the<br />
partial horoscope (see section 5.6). As it turned out, this<br />
planet was identified in the obtained complete solution<br />
as Mars. We will see later, when we will be checking out<br />
this solution, that Mars in the partial horoscope <strong>of</strong> the<br />
summer solstice was indeed in Gemini. This identification<br />
agrees with the symbol <strong>of</strong> the warrior with a raised sword<br />
located between Leo and Cancer in the middle row. If this<br />
figure indeed represents Mars in the partial horoscope <strong>of</strong><br />
the summer solstice, then Mars could be located on the<br />
boundary between Gemini and Cancer.<br />
In this way we have obtained the following decoding <strong>of</strong><br />
the partial horoscope <strong>of</strong> the summer solstice: besides the<br />
minimal horoscope composed <strong>of</strong> Venus and Mercury, there<br />
was also Mars in the surroundings <strong>of</strong> Gemini. Mars was<br />
either located in Gemini, or, in the case the symbol <strong>of</strong> the<br />
warrior belongs to this partial horoscope, on the boundary<br />
between Gemini and Cancer.<br />
7.6.5 Final Solution for the Small Esna Zodiac:<br />
May 6—8, 1404 AD.<br />
A complete solution that was found for the Small Esna zodiac<br />
turned out to be unique. It was May 6–8, 1404 A.D., exactly<br />
10 years after the date indicated on the Big Esna zodiac!<br />
During that time the configuration <strong>of</strong> the planets on the sky<br />
was as follows:<br />
SUN – in Taurus;<br />
7.6 Decoding the Date from the Small Esna Zodiac 203<br />
MOON – in Aries, appearing as a shrinking moon crescent;<br />
MARS – in Gemini;<br />
VENUS – in Taurus, near its border with Gemini;<br />
MERCURY – in Taurus, near its border with Aries;<br />
SATURN – in Aquarius;.<br />
JUPITER – in Capricorn.<br />
It is clear that these locations perfectly fit the planetary<br />
data contained in the main horoscope (see subsection 7.6.3).<br />
In Appendix ??, we include the input date that was used to<br />
find this solution.<br />

Table 7.16: Planetary Positions in the Period May 6–8, 1404<br />
On Figure 7.43, we show the final decoding <strong>of</strong> the Small<br />
zodiac, corresponding the computed complete solution. In Table<br />
7.16, we list the planetary positions on the main date: May<br />
6–8, 1404 AD. As usual, we indicate the locations <strong>of</strong> planets<br />
in degree on the ecliptic J2000, as well as by using the coordinates<br />
on the constellation scale (see section 6.10).<br />
The planetary configuration that fits in the best way the<br />
astronomical data shown on the Small zodiac, occured on<br />
May 7, 1404. On that day, Moon in a shape <strong>of</strong> a shrinking<br />
narrow crescent was located in Aries. At that time, the<br />
mean distance from the best points was only 8 o , which can be<br />
compared with a quarter <strong>of</strong> the length <strong>of</strong> an average zodiac<br />
constellation. Since even the mean discrepancy from the best<br />
points <strong>of</strong> magnitude 15 o can be considered as acceptable (see<br />
section 6.11), this result should be considered as very good.
