Larxene,

You start this thread with a great question. I?d highly recommend Gavin White?s book, Babylonian Star Lore. I believe this will give you a good sense of the living, organic process that went into the formulation and naming of the zodiac.

You end your posts with a quote about the form changing, the essence remaining. I think Mr. White?s book will give you that sense of the essence which underlies the changing forms of astrology.
