riddle 12?

Anyone want to give it a go?

I won’t post an answer without at least one try! šŸ™‚

  1. OK Thomas, I’ll have a feeble attempt; is it a Contrantiscion? Signs and degrees that ā€˜hear each other’ or of equal ascension.

    I am not the descendant,
    I beg your pardon please,

    ~~ CarO ~~ Just as the Descendant is the opposing polarity
    of the Ascendant axis

    And I refuse to be grafted
    on any old degree.

    ~~ CarO ~~ so to is the Contrantiscion exactly opposite to the Antiscion

    If you can count backward,
    that’s the way you find me best.

    ~~ CarO ~~ If an antiscion lies at a certain zodiacal degree then we count the remaining degrees out of 29 backwards to find the contranticion in its respective antiscial sign. The Table for this in Firmicus Maternus ā€œLiber Secundusā€ counts the contrantiscial degrees backwards from 29.

    And while you’re at it,
    you’ll know what I’m against.

    ~~ CarO ~~ Contra means against: and as a contrantiscion is the polarity of an antiscion it is therefore against it :0)

  2. Well done, Caroline. No way I could have come anywhere near that close to the correct answer. You just keep on getting smarter & brighter and we do miss your light on TRA . . .
    Warm regards,

  3. Thanks for your kind words Marybeth šŸ™‚ – as usual, I got it back to front though! Personally I blame Mercury about to perform his thrice-annual back-flip ;-(
