The Fertility Wheel

How correctly aligning the symbols of the Zodiac with the Sun creates an agricultural almanac!

🔮 The Zodiac: Was There A Greater Purpose Beyond Horoscopes? Have you ever considered that the Zodiac might hold a deeper, more profound purpose beyond daily horoscopes? 🤔 Some of my findings can be found below, shedding light on how the Zodiac was never just about astrology but rather a powerful guide for survival. The central figure of the Zodiac, representing Inanna—the goddess of fertility, sexuality, and childbirth 👶🌾—aligns with water 💧, the key to Earth's fertility. It sustains life and shapes the natural cycles of breeding and agriculture. In my groundbreaking theory, I unveil a revolutionary perspective on the Zodiac symbols—not as mere astrological signs, but as ancient pictograms 🏺 designed to teach survival. These symbols distill essential knowledge about animal breeding 🐄, crop cycles 🌱, and seasonal changes 🍂, guiding early civilizations on when to plant, when to harvest, and how to anticipate environmental shifts. By realigning these pictograms with the Sun ☀️, the equinoxes, and solstices—rather than distant stars ✨—their true purpose emerges: a timeless Farmer’s Almanac 📜, encoded in the heavens. This Fertility Wheel preserves the wisdom of the ages, waiting to be unlocked by those who hold the key. Do you believe the Zodiac has a purpose beyond what we've been told? Could it be the ancient guide to survival we've been searching for?

Why the Fertility Wheel’s Realignment Matters

 

I, Stephen David Manning, changed the months traditionally associated with the Zodiac pictograms to create this Fertility Wheel. Once I placed the animals in their correct seasonal months—without altering their order—I realized that the Zodiac was actually a Farmer’s Almanac, a Fertility Wheel, or a survival guide.  I just want this information out, forget book sales, I need it out to possibly help people long after I am gone.

The great minds of history—Socrates, Plato, and others—struggled to find a clear connection to the Zodiac, possibly because of the wrong months associated with the pictograms from the Romans, but I was able to see the guide because I had farming and agricultural knowledge from distant lands at my fingertips with instant access to the internet.

By replacing outdated Roman zodiac dates they put on the pictograms with the animals to represent actual seasonal and ecological cycles, the Fertility Wheel reveals its true purpose: a timeless guide to agriculture, breeding seasons, and the rhythms of nature.

Unlocking Lost Knowledge for the Modern World 🌍

For centuries, the Roman Zodiac has been misinterpreted as a mystical astrological guide, disconnected from the natural rhythms it was originally meant to represent. But by realigning these ancient pictograms with the Sun’s equinoxes and solstices and NOT THE STARS, I have uncovered their true purpose: a functional Farmer’s Almanac, a Fertility Wheel, and a survival guide designed to sustain life on Earth.

This realignment does not change the order of the pictograms—it merely reconnects them to their true purpose within nature’s cycles.

The key to fertility is water. Water brings fertility to the land.💧🌱 Where there is water, there is life. Once you understand this fundamental truth, other pictograms becomes clear. The woman in the Fertility Wheel represents the goddess of fertility, and each animal in the wheel appears in its peak mating month, directly reflecting nature’s own cycles of renewal. This is why the wheel must be called the Fertility Wheel—it is a real, ecological, and seasonal guide that has stood the test of time.

What the Fertility Wheel Restores

Revives lost agricultural wisdom that helped early civilizations thrive.
Aligns pictograms with actual breeding cycles, planting seasons, and ecological patterns.
Creates a true Farmer’s Almanac, replacing arbitrary and disconnected astrological systems.

Unlike the Roman Zodiac, which was a product of human invention, the Fertility Wheel represents nature’s original calendar:

🌾 Guiding farmers on when to plant, harvest, and breed livestock.
🌊 Indicating when to rely on rivers, oceans, and rain for survival.
🦁 Marking seasons of environmental dangers, including predators and harsh conditions.

By returning these pictograms to their correct placements, we not only restore ancient wisdom but also reclaim a powerful tool for understanding the cycles of life, enabling us to reconnect with nature in ways that modern society has forgotten.

The Sun: The Ultimate Force Behind Fertility

☀️ Plants & Crops – Sunlight powers photosynthesis, dictates germination cycles and creates fertile soil conditions necessary for healthy crops.
🌍 Animals & Breeding – Many species, from livestock to wild animals, breed in sync with seasonal changes in sunlight, ensuring the survival of their young.
👶 Human Fertility – Sunlight regulates hormones like melatonin and serotonin and stimulates vitamin D production, both crucial for reproductive health.

By understanding the Sun’s influence on all forms of fertility, we begin to see how ancient civilizations based their survival and prosperity on this powerful force. From the timing of planting crops to breeding animals and even human reproduction, everything revolved around the cycles of light.

This is NOT Astrology—This is the Key to Life on Earth

What I have uncovered is not mysticism—it is real science, real history, and real survival. Socrates, Plato, and other great minds of the past were never able to discover this because they did not have access to the farming guides and survival knowledge that I now possess.

🔑 This is the true Fertility Wheel—a guide not just for human life, but for all life on Earth. It is a practical, ecological, and seasonal guide that aligns humanity with the cycles of nature.

By realigning the Fertility Wheel, we have the chance to rediscover the ancient knowledge that once allowed civilizations to thrive. It is time we embrace this wisdom again and use it to create a more sustainable, prosperous world for ourselves and future generations.

Understanding Seasonal Breeders & The Fertility Wheel 🌍🌾

Nature has perfected its reproductive cycles to ensure the survival of species. By aligning birth seasons with peak resource availability, animals increase their chances of thriving and passing on their genes. This knowledge is vital, not just for wildlife, but also for farmers and agricultural societies who rely on seasonal rhythms to ensure livestock health and crop success.

Peak Mating Seasons of Seasonal Breeders in Key Species 🌀

Horses 🐴 – Long-day breeders requiring 14+ hours of daylight, peaking during May–June.
 

Goats & Sheep 🐏 – Short-day breeders, with peak breeding occurring after the Autumn Equinox.
 

Cows 🐄 – Spring breeders in temperate climates (80% of cows breed at this time); however, in colder regions, breeding occurs near the Autumn Equinox to ensure calves are born in time for warmer months and can survive the harsh winter.
 

Lions 🦁 – Breed in winter, typically post-Winter Solstice, so their young can grow strong and benefit from the spring’s abundance.
 

Scorpions 🦂 – Breed in mid-spring, as temperatures rise and they become more active.

Lizards 🦎 – Breed in the heat of summer, when conditions are ideal for their young.

The Three Greatest Dangers in Farming Regions 🌊🦁☠️

1️⃣ Flash Floods 🌊 – Sudden and destructive forces that can wipe out crops, livestock, and even entire agricultural infrastructures.
2️⃣ Predators 🦁 – Lions, wolves, and other carnivores often target livestock during mating and birthing seasons.
3️⃣ Scorpions ☠️ – As temperatures rise, scorpions become more active, and their venomous stings can pose a danger to both humans and animals.

By understanding these natural cycles, farmers, survivalists, and communities can better prepare, synchronize farming with nature’s rhythms, and build resilient, productive agricultural systems that thrive.

The Fertility Wheel: Nature’s Ultimate Guide to Survival & Agriculture

For centuries, the zodiac pictograms have remained in their traditional order, yet the dates assigned to them have been misaligned. By correcting this mistake, we unlock a powerful tool far beyond mere astrology:

🔄 The Fertility Wheel – A Functional Farmer’s Almanac 🔄

What Changed?

The Scales symbol (historically representing balance, not justice) but in my world the spring equinox,  was placed at the Fall Equinox, but in reality, this spot is better represented by the cow 🐄, which is tied to agriculture, livestock, and survival. Once I saw my Muslim friend’s ancient bronze zodiac, but it was without the scales, that I began this journey. May Allah, God, and the heavens bless you and your family for allowing me to find this key to the hardest puzzle ever.

This realignment does not change the order of the pictograms—it merely reconnects them to their true purpose within nature’s cycles.

What Does It Restore?

✅ A scientific, ecological approach to the zodiac’s meaning.
✅ A guide to planting, harvesting, and sustainable agriculture practices.
✅ Insights into seasonal weather shifts, including summer rains, floods, and dry periods.
✅ A warning system for environmental dangers like scorpions, predators, and weather extremes.
✅ An understanding of livestock breeding cycles and how these cycles play a vital role in human survival.

A Discovery Unlike Any Other

This theory is entirely my own—I am the first to realign the zodiac with nature’s true mating cycles and connect it to the ancient fertility union of Inanna and Dumuzi. This breakthrough bridges science, history, and mythology, proving that the zodiac was never meant for mere horoscopes—it was a survival blueprint, designed to help humanity thrive.

This knowledge was never meant to be lost—it was created to sustain life and to guide humanity in its connection with the natural world. Through this realignment, we can now reclaim and restore the wisdom that has been hidden for centuries, providing us with the tools we need to flourish once more. 🌱

Reintroducing the Goddess of Fertility

Restoring Inanna’s True Legacy

For millennia, Inanna was revered as the Goddess of Fertility, guiding human and agricultural cycles alike. Yet over time, her true identity has been misrepresented. Today, she is often mistakenly labeled as a virgin goddess, a title that distorts her original significance. In truth, Inanna was the embodiment of fertility, renewal, and abundance—central to both human reproduction and the rhythms of the land.

The Spring Equinox: The Cycle of Life and Renewal

Spring is the season of rebirth, marking the beginning of the agricultural calendar. Ancient civilizations understood this well, aligning their fertility festivals with the natural cycles of life.

✅ March fertility rituals prepared for December births, ensuring new life emerged during a period of lighter workloads.
✅ The Festival of Inanna and Dumuzid, celebrated on March 21, honored fertility goddesses and synchronized human and agricultural rhythms.
✅ By restoring Inanna’s rightful place in the zodiac—before the Spring Equinox—we realign the celestial and earthly cycles, reviving the ancient wisdom that once guided farmers and communities.

Who Was Inanna? The Goddess Who Ruled the Heavens and Earth

Inanna was more than a deity—she was a force of nature. As the Sumerian goddess of fertility, love, childbirth, and war, she held dominion over both creation and destruction, ensuring the prosperity of her people.

Inanna Across Cultures

Her influence spread across civilizations, known by different names yet always maintaining her core attributes:

Ishtar (Babylonian): Goddess of fertility, love, and war.
Astarte (Canaanite): A divine mother figure linked to agriculture.
Atargatis (Syrian): A water goddess symbolizing life-giving abundance.
Aphrodite (Greek): Absorbed into mythology as a love and fertility goddess.
Venus (Roman): Guardian of beauty, love, and agricultural prosperity.

From the stars to the soil, Inanna governed both celestial movements and earthly abundance. The Fertility Wheel restores her position as the ultimate guide to agricultural renewal and survival.

For my friends who enjoy similar stories, Lady Day, also known as the Feast of the Annunciation, is celebrated on March 25th in Christian tradition. This day commemorates the moment when the Angel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and give birth.

The Sacred Cow: A Timeless Symbol of Fertility

For thousands of years, cattle have played a vital role in human survival, their breeding cycles aligning with the seasons to ensure food security and sustainable agriculture.

Peak mating season: February through May, ensuring calves are born when food is plentiful.
Agricultural efficiency: Bulls plow fields before the calving season, maximizing productivity.
Human survival: A December-born child would rely on a cow’s milk—perfectly timed with this cycle.

Manure: The Hidden Gold of Agriculture

Cattle don’t just provide food—they nourish the land. As they graze, they produce natural fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—key nutrients for thriving crops.

March & October: Farmers collect and spread manure to enrich soil for planting.
Winter crops like wheat, barley, and rye benefit from replenished nutrients.
✅ The cycle ensures sustainable, year-round agriculture.

Fall Breeding: A Seasonal Adaptation

Colder regions favor October & November breeding to prevent heat stress.
✅ Cows calve as winter ends, ensuring strong offspring for spring’s abundance.
Parasite exposure is minimized, leading to healthier pregnancies.

By carefully observing cattle breeding patterns, ancient civilizations perfected seasonal farming strategies, ensuring survival and prosperity. The Fertility Wheel reflects this deep connection between the zodiac, agriculture, and livestock management.

The Four Sacred Months: Nature’s Perfect Timing 🌍🌾

In my dreams, I was shown the importance of the four sacred months, guiding me to share their profound significance with the world. These months—February to April and October —hold the key to the success of agriculture and livestock breeding, shaping the very rhythm of life itself. These critical periods determine the foundation for harvests, food supply, and the cycles of life on Earth. I was told to share this with God’s children, so I am.

How the Agricultural Calendar Aligns:

🌱 Spring Sowing (February–April): This is the perfect time to plant spring wheat, corn, cotton, and millet. During this period, the land is prepared, and the bulls mate, ensuring that animals are bred to give birth when the seasons are right.

🍂 Fall Planting (October): This month marks the time for sowing winter wheat, barley, and rye. It’s also the season when fall cattle breeding aligns perfectly, ensuring that the livestock will be ready to thrive in the coming year.

Every action—whether breeding livestock, planting crops, or fertilizing fields—was meticulously timed to sustain life and optimize survival. These sacred months were not just dates on a calendar; they were rooted in natural cycles, keeping humanity in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

The Scorpion: A Symbol of Danger and Seasonal Awakening

The traditional zodiac places Scorpio between October 23 and November 21, but this placement does not align with agricultural reality. The Fertility Wheel shifts the Scorpion to April–May, a period when scorpions become active and pose a real danger to farmers.

Scorpions are seasonal breeders, with peak mating activity in warm spring months. Male scorpions engage in intricate dances to attract mates, ensuring reproduction when insects are plentiful. Their role in pest control, targeting crickets and locusts, makes them an ally to farmers. However, they also pose risks, with venomous species in the Middle East being a significant threat. This is one of the three key dangers to farmers, as their stings can harm humans and livestock.

Why was this change necessary?
Scorpions emerge in spring, not fall, making their presence a practical warning.
✅ They are one of three major agricultural threats marked in the Fertility Wheel.
✅ This symbol serves as a seasonal alert, cautioning farmers when to be vigilant in the fields.

Mating Season: A Deadly Dance

For many scorpion species, spring marks the peak of their reproductive cycle. Their courtship is both intricate and dangerous—a tense dance called the promenade à deux (a “two-step”), where the male and female lock pincers and move in harmony.

✅ The male deposits a spermatophore, which the female absorbs.
✅ But the ritual is risky—in some cases, the female devours the male after mating, mirroring the predatory and survivalist nature of this creature.

This brutal efficiency defines why the Scorpion is a sign of both life and death, a perfect seasonal warning for those working in the fields.

The Danger of Scorpions in the Middle East

Beyond mythology, scorpions pose a real and immediate threat in arid and semi-arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa, home to some of the most venomous scorpions in the world.

🔺 Leiurus quinquestriatus (Deathstalker) – Found in desert regions, its venom contains neurotoxins that cause excruciating pain, convulsions, and in severe cases, death.

🔺 Androctonus species (Fat-tailed Scorpions) – Highly toxic, aggressive, and capable of delivering fatal stings, particularly to children or the elderly.

As April and May heat the land, scorpions:
🔥 Become highly active, increasing the risk of human encounters.
🌾 Hide in freshly tilled soil, making farmworkers especially vulnerable.
🌙 Hunt at night, increasing the likelihood of people stepping on them after dusk.

This deadly seasonal shift was well understood by ancient civilizations, reinforcing why the Scorpion was originally placed in the months when it actually posed a real danger.

Not all scorpion stings are lethal, but in regions where venomous species thrive, even a single sting can cause:
⚠️ Severe pain, swelling, and inflammation
⚠️ Fever, nausea, vomiting, and muscle spasms
⚠️ Breathing difficulties and, in extreme cases, death

For farmers, herders, and those living in desert communities, avoiding scorpions was an essential matter of survival. This is why precautionary measures became ingrained in daily routines:

Shaking out shoes and clothing to prevent scorpions from hiding.
Sleeping on raised platforms to avoid nighttime stings.
Clearing rocks and debris from homes and fields to eliminate scorpion hiding spots.

🌿 Plowing season stirs up insects, which attract scorpions.
🐍 The heat signals their return—coinciding with farming activities.
⚠️ This alignment was not mystical—it was practical, guiding survival.

This seasonal knowledge was so vital that it was written into the Fertility Wheel—a farmer’s warning to remain vigilant when scorpions emerge.

Scorpions and Their Seasonal Rhythms

Scorpions are ectothermic (cold-blooded) creatures, meaning their activity is entirely dependent on temperature and environmental conditions. In winter, they retreat underground, buried in rock crevices or burrows to conserve energy and escape the cold. But as the soil warms in spring, they awaken—April and May mark the beginning of their active season.

During this time, scorpions:
Emerge from dormancy, hunting actively at night.
Enter their peak mating season, engaging in their elaborate courtship rituals.
Seek food, taking advantage of increased insect populations—directly linked to plowing and planting seasons in the ancient world.

This perfect overlap between agriculture and scorpion activity is why April and May were historically dangerous months for farmers—exactly why Scorpio must be realigned to this timeframe.

The Horse and the Man:

A Symbol of Strength, Agriculture, and the Summer Solstice

The Horse, long associated with freedom, power, and endurance, has always been deeply entwined with human civilization—particularly in agriculture, warfare, and travel. However, when realigned correctly on the Fertility Wheel, late May through June emerges as the only logical placement for this noble creature.

Horses as Long-Day Breeders

Beyond their agricultural role, horses are biologically attuned to longer daylight hours. They are long-day breeders, meaning:

The Biological Imperative of May-June

Horses: Long-Day Breeders and Symbols of Agricultural Power

Horses are long-day breeders, meaning their reproductive cycle aligns with the longest days of the year: 

🐴 Mares ovulate when daylight exceeds 14 hours, ensuring foals are born in optimal conditions.
 

🌞 Testosterone levels in stallions peak during the summer solstice, signaling a prime time for breeding.
 

📈 78% of natural conceptions occur between May and June, perfectly syncing with the farming cycle.

Why Tammuz (Dumuzid) Belongs to the Summer Solstice 🌞🐎
The fertility cycle of horses is undeniably dictated by the summer solstice—solid evidence that their rightful place is in late May and June, not in the arbitrary October-November slot where it serves no true purpose. By correcting this, we honor the ancient connection between Dumuzid (also known as Tammuz), the sun, and the fertility cycles that sustained life.

🌞 The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a time of maximum sunlight, heat, and energy—the very forces that drive fertility and agricultural abundance.
🌾 Dumuzid, the god of vegetation, embodies this seasonal climax, when crops flourish under the sun’s full strength, symbolizing life’s peak vitality.

Agricultural Prosperity and the Harvest

🌾 In ancient societies, the summer solstice was crucial for marking harvest preparations, particularly for barley and wheat, both sacred to Dumuzid.
🐎 Horses, as vital workers in hauling grain, were essential during this season, reinforcing their deep connection to the fertility cycle.
✅ This period was marked by strength, plenty, and sustenance—a perfect reflection of Dumuzid’s role as a fertility deity.

Horses, Fertility, and Sacred Rites

🐎 Horses are long-day breeders, reaching peak fertility only when daylight exceeds 14 hours, perfectly aligned with the summer solstice.
👑 Ancient kings revered this connection, leading royal mares to sacred groves for divine breeding rites, directly linking Dumuzid’s fertility aspect to the fertility of horses.

The Rituals of Tammuz and the Solstice

🏇 During this time, ceremonial horse races were held to honor both horses and Dumuzid—celebrating their mutual fertility and strength.
🕊 Mourning rituals for Dumuzid occurred after the solstice, symbolizing the shift from the peak vitality of the sun (and his reign) to the gradual decline of vegetation—an essential part of the seasonal cycle.

📉 Dumuzid’s myth tells of his descent into the underworld, mirroring the sun’s decline after the solstice.
⚖ This cosmic metaphor—the cycle of growth, peak, and decay—solidifies his place at the height of the sun’s journey, aligning perfectly with the seasonal rhythm of nature.

The Enduring Legacy of Tammuz in the Calendar

📅 The Hebrew month of Tammuz (June-July) preserves this ancient seasonal significance, proving that even millennia later, his legacy is inextricably tied to the time of year when life reaches its fullest potential.

The Horse and Dumuzid: Reclaiming Their Place in the Fertility Wheel

By realigning Dumuzid and the horse to late May and June, we restore their true agricultural and celestial purpose:
Peak agricultural labor—Horses working in the fields.
Mares’ peak fertility—Perfectly aligned with their natural breeding cycles.
The summer solstice—The ultimate symbol of growth, strength, and renewal.

This isn’t just a theory—it’s a correction of history, reclaiming the zodiac and ancient wisdom, bringing them back into alignment with nature’s rhythms. 🌍✨

The Goat-Fish: A Symbol of Survival, Balance, and the Wisdom of the Desert 🐐🐟

The Goat-Fish has long been a mysterious symbol in ancient traditions, often mistaken for a mythical creature. However, when examined through the lens of agriculture, ecology, and survival, we uncover a profound truth: it represents not a myth, but a real, essential creature that thrived in the ancient world 🌍.

Through three key criteria, we can uncover the true identity of the Goat-Fish:

  • Peak Mating Season Alignment: The animal must reach its reproductive peak when the pictogram appears on the Fertility Wheel 🗓️.
  • Historical and Cultural Significance: The animal must have played an essential role in Mesopotamian, Middle Eastern, and ancient Near Eastern societies 🏺.
  • Survival and Medicinal Value: The creature must have sustained human life, either as a food source or through medicinal benefits 🌱.

After rigorous analysis, only one creature fulfills all these requirements—the spiny-tailed lizard (Uromastyx), a reptile perfectly adapted to the deserts of Mesopotamia, Arabia, and North Africa 🦎.

A Lifeline for Ancient Desert Dwellers 🌵

For millennia, desert travelers, nomads, and agricultural communities depended on the spiny-tailed lizard for food, medicine, and survival 🌟. Unlike mythical goat-fish, this reptile was not just a symbol—it was a necessity, sustaining life in some of the harshest environments on Earth 🌞.

  • A Reliable Food Source: The lizard provided essential protein, especially during times when hunting or farming yielded little 🍽️.
  • A Key Medicinal Resource: Its fat was used to treat joint pain, respiratory conditions, and infections, proving invaluable to those living in the harsh desert 🏜️.
  • An Indicator of a Thriving Ecosystem: The presence of Uromastyx signified fertile land with nutritious vegetation, essential knowledge for desert survival 🌿.

This wasn’t just an animal found in the desert—it was an animal that determined whether humans could survive in the desert 🏕️.

Peak Mating Season: A Perfect Alignment with the Fertility Wheel 💫

One of the most critical aspects of the Fertility Wheel is that each animal corresponds to a real, observable biological cycle 🐾.

  • Uromastyx reaches its peak reproductive season from May to July—precisely when the Goat-Fish symbol appears on the wheel 📅. This perfect alignment proves that the Goat-Fish was not a mythical concept, but a marker of natural cycles guiding ancient societies in food availability, fertility, and survival strategies 🌱.

Ancient Cultural and Religious Ties 🌙

The spiny-tailed lizard has played a significant role in Mesopotamian, Arabian, and Islamic cultures for thousands of years 🏺:

  • In Mesopotamian Traditions: Reptiles symbolized wisdom, adaptability, and resilience, qualities essential for surviving in desert environments 🐍.
  • In Ancient Desert Cultures: The lizard was valued for its hardiness, often representing protection, survival, and endurance 💪.
  • In Islamic Tradition: Known as Dhabb, it was recognized for its nutritional and medicinal benefits. Many believed it boosted stamina and vitality, beliefs that persist even today among Bedouin communities 🌾.

This isn’t just a creature of the past—it is still revered today, a living testament to its enduring importance 🌟.

Why the Goat-Fish Name Fits Perfectly 🐐🐟

At first glance, a lizard might not seem like an appropriate candidate for the Goat-Fish symbol. However, when we examine its physical characteristics, behaviors, and survival adaptations, the connection becomes undeniable 👀:

  • The “Goat” Connection: A Herbivore of the Desert 🐐
    Just like a goat thrives on rocky cliffs and sparse vegetation, the spiny-tailed lizard feeds on dry, rugged terrain, consuming leaves, flowers, and grasses in the same manner as a grazing herbivore 🌿. In barren landscapes where few creatures could survive, Uromastyx flourished by feeding on tough desert plants—a remarkable parallel to goats, known for their ability to graze on almost anything 🌱.
  • The “Fish” Connection: A Burrower that “Dives” for Safety 🐟
    When the desert heat becomes unbearable, the spiny-tailed lizard burrows deep underground—just as a fish plunges into the water to escape danger 🌊. These burrows, often several meters deep, protect the lizard from extreme heat and predators 🦎. This “diving” motion into the earth mirrors the behavior of fish entering the water, reinforcing its dualistic nature ⚡.
  • Coloration and Symbolism: The Link to Fish Scales 🎨
    The vibrant yellow, green, and orange hues of the Uromastyx’s skin mimic the iridescence of fish scales, further reinforcing the symbolic connection between land and water creatures 🌈.
  • Survival in Two Worlds: The Ultimate Balance ⚖️
    The Goat-Fish represents balance—between land and water, endurance and renewal, survival and fertility 🌿🌊. The spiny-tailed lizard embodies this balance:
  • It thrives in arid deserts, yet it seeks underground refuge like an aquatic creature 🌵💧.
  • It is a vegetarian, yet it relies on deep earth burrows for survival, much like aquatic animals depend on water 🦑.
  • It provides food, medicine, and environmental stability, just as the Fertility Wheel guides humans toward survival and sustainability 🌍.

This isn’t a mythical creature—it’s an ancient survival guide, encoded in symbols 🧭.

Restoring the Lizard’s Place in the Fertility Wheel 🔄

For too long, the Goat-Fish has been viewed through the lens of mythology, but the truth is far more practical and profound 🧩. The spiny-tailed lizard was a vital part of survival, a seasonal marker, and a symbol of resilience 🦎.

  • It aligns with peak fertility cycles—marking a critical period for reproduction and survival 🌸.
  • It embodies balance—between land and water, endurance and refuge ⚖️.
  • It sustained ancient civilizations—providing food, medicine, and environmental knowledge 🌿.

By restoring its true meaning, we honor the wisdom of ancient civilizations, recognizing that the Fertility Wheel was not just spiritual, but scientific—a tool for survival, balance, and prosperity 🌱.

The spiny-tailed lizard (Uromastyx) is the true Goat-Fish, not because of myth or legend, but because it played a real and essential role in the lives of those who first created these symbols 🦎.

By reclaiming its rightful place, we unlock the true purpose of the Fertility Wheel—as an ancient blueprint for survival, a map of the natural world that still holds wisdom for us today 🌍. The Goat-Fish was never about fantasy—it was about life, survival, and the unbreakable connection between humans, animals, and the cycles of nature 🌱.

Flash Flooding Season: The True Symbol for July 22 – August 21 🌊🌞

The time traditionally associated with Leo (July 22 – August 21) has long been misrepresented. The truth is, this period has always been tied to water, not the lion 🦁.

Wafaa El-Nil: The Ancient Egyptian Festival of Flooding 🌊🇪🇬

Wafaa El-Nil, also known as the Flooding of the Nile, is an ancient Egyptian festival celebrating the Nile River’s inundation—a crucial event for agriculture. The festival begins on August 15 and lasts for two weeks, marking the arrival of the annual floodwaters that brought fertile soil to the land.

For thousands of years, this flooding was essential for ensuring healthy crops and survival.

When Water Was the True Symbol of Agricultural Renewal 💧🌱

Late July and August were key months for agricultural renewal, marked by flooding rivers and the life-giving power of water:

Ancient Egypt: The Nile’s Divine Cycle 🌍

In Ancient Egypt, the Nile’s flooding was celebrated during Wepet Renpet, the New Year festival, which symbolized fertility and renewal. The god Hapi, the personification of the Nile, was worshipped for providing abundant crops.

Mesopotamia: The Tigris and Euphrates Lifelines 🌾

In Mesopotamia, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers provided the necessary irrigation for fertile soil. Farmers relied on the flooding of these rivers to sustain crops and ensure prosperous harvests.

India: The Monsoon’s Life-Giving Force 🌧️

In India, the monsoon season (peaking in July and August) was celebrated for bringing life to the land. Rivers like the Ganges swelled, mirroring the Nile’s floods and reinforcing the connection between water, fertility, and divine blessings.

Ancient China: The Yellow and Yangtze Rivers 🏞️

The Yellow River and Yangtze River floods were integral for rice cultivation in ancient China. Though floods posed challenges, they were necessary for survival, much like the Nile’s inundation.

Water: The True Force for Life 🌿💧

This period, traditionally linked to Leo, should be associated with water—the true sustainer of life. It was never about fire, dominance, or power. Instead, it was about balance, survival, and replenishment:

🔥 Water countered the scorching heat of summer.
🌾 Floodwaters ensured the next harvest would be possible.
💧 This was a time of destruction and rebirth, mirroring nature’s cycles.

By realigning the Fertility Wheel, we reclaim the sacred truth—the lion was misplaced, and water deserves its rightful place in the astrological calendar.

Fish Sustaining Civilizations: Restoring Pisces to Its True Purpose 🐟🌾

The traditional Roman zodiac places Pisces in late winter (February–March), but this alignment misrepresents nature’s rhythms. Fish play a crucial role in human survival during late summer and early autumn, which is why the Fertility Wheel correctly places Pisces from August 22 to September 21—the true fishing season.

Fish as a Lifeline During Seasonal Transition 🍂🦑

As summer fades and autumn approaches, fish become a vital food source for civilizations that relied on them to prepare for the winter months:

🌾 Crops are harvested but have a short shelf life.
🦌 Hunting becomes more difficult.
🌱 Wild plants stop producing fruit, signaling the end of the growing season.

While land-based food sources dwindle, rivers, lakes, and seas remain abundant with fish, offering an easily accessible and renewable resource.

Preserving Fish: A Breakthrough for Survival 🦈🔒

Ancient civilizations perfected methods to preserve fish, ensuring a stable food supply that lasted through the colder months. Techniques included:

🔥 Smoking – Exposing fish to low heat and smoke for preservation.
🧂 Salting – Using salt to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.
🌞 Drying – Removing moisture from fish for long-term storage.

Unlike grains, which were prone to spoilage, preserved fish was lightweight, portable, and tradeable—becoming a crucial economic asset in ancient trade routes.

The Mesopotamian Fishing Economy 💵

In Mesopotamia, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers were rich in fish, especially carp and catfish. Fish were:

Caught and preserved for food security.
Traded as an economic commodity.
Sacrificed in religious rituals to honor the gods.

The god Enki, the deity of water, was closely associated with the rivers and fish, reinforcing their divine significance.

Why Pisces Belongs in Late Summer to Early Fall 🌅🌊

By placing Pisces from August 22 to September 21, the Fertility Wheel honors the true role of fish in sustaining ancient civilizations. This period represents:

🌊 The abundance of fish at their peak.
🍂 Preparing for winter survival by preserving food.
⚖️ A balance between resourcefulness and conservation.

Fish in this context symbolize adaptation, resilience, and survival. They are not just a zodiac symbol—they are a testament to humanity’s endurance.

The Sheep and Goats: The True Symbols of the Fall Equinox
The Roman zodiac places Libra (the scales) at the autumn equinox (September 22–October 21), but this symbol does not reflect nature’s rhythms. The true biological and agricultural markers of this season are sheep 🐑 and goats 🐐, whose mating cycles align perfectly with the fall equinox.
By realigning this period to honor these animals, the Fertility Wheel restores the balance between human survival, agriculture, and the cycles of nature. 🌿

The Breeding Cycles of Sheep and Goats
As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, sheep and goats instinctively enter their reproductive season at the Fall or Autumn equinox. This timing is crucial, ensuring that:
Lambs and kids are born in spring when pastures are lush 🌱 and food is abundant.
✅ The young have the entire warm season to grow strong 💪, ensuring their survival through the next winter ❄️.
✅ Farmers and herders could plan their breeding cycles to ensure maximum yield and sustainability.
This biological rhythm wasn’t just understood—it was embedded in early agricultural calendars, making sheep and goats the perfect symbols of this period. 🌾

Why the Fall Equinox Was a Pivotal Time for Livestock
The autumn equinox (September 22–October 21) was a turning point in ancient agricultural societies, marking:
🌾 The last major harvest before winter.
🐏 The peak of sheep and goat mating season.
🔥 A shift from farming to preparing for colder months.

During this period, livestock played three vital roles:

  1. Sustaining Communities Through Winter
    Sheep and goats provided meat, milk, and fat, ensuring food security. 🐑🥛
    Goat’s milk was easier to digest than cow’s milk, making it a nutritional staple.
    Meat could be dried, salted, or smoked for preservation. 🍖
  2. Providing Essential Materials
    Sheep’s wool was woven into warm clothing, blankets, and insulation. 🧶🧣
    Goat hair was used for ropes, tents, and durable textiles. 🏕️
    Fat and tallow from sheep were used for candles 🕯️ and fuel.
  3. Enriching the Land for Future Crops
    Sheep and goat manure was a vital natural fertilizer 🌱, replenishing the soil for next season’s crops.
    Their grazing habits helped maintain ecological balance, ensuring sustainable pasture growth. 🌾
    These contributions solidified their importance in agricultural societies, making them far more fitting symbols for the autumn equinox than a set of scales ⚖️.

Cows Mating in October: The True Symbol of the Season

The Roman zodiac currently assigns Scorpio 🦂 (October 23–November 21) to this period, associating it with intensity, transformation, and danger. However, when examined through the lens of agriculture, natural cycles, and survival, this symbol is entirely misplaced.
The scorpion, a creature of heat and arid conditions, is dormant by this time, retreating underground as temperatures drop 🌡️. In contrast, cows 🐄—a cornerstone of human civilization—reach a peak mating season in October. This timing aligns perfectly with their role in sowing winter wheat and barley 🌾, and their manure, essential for plant growth, makes them a far more fitting representation of this time on the Fertility Wheel.

October: A Month of Survival and Preparation
October marks a pivotal moment in the agricultural calendar, aligning cow mating 🐄, manure fertilization, and the planting of winter crops. This month isn’t just about reproduction—it’s about preparing for survival, ensuring that the land, livestock, and farmers are ready for the challenges of the coming winter ❄️ and the abundance of the next spring 🌸.

Cows, Fertilization, and Agriculture: The October Connection
Pasture Rotation: Restoring the Land for Future Harvests
October is not just a time for cow mating—it is also a critical period for soil regeneration 🌍 and planting, demonstrating how livestock and agriculture work in harmony:
Rest overgrazed fields, allowing for nutrient regeneration. 🌿
✅ Move cows to secondary grazing areas, ensuring land sustainability. 🌾
✅ Prevent soil degradation, which could harm future harvests.

By allowing fields to recover before winter, farmers preserve soil quality for the next growing season, ensuring future food security 🍽️.

Winter Crop Planting: Ensuring the Coming Year’s Survival
October is not just about cow mating—it’s also the final step in planting winter crops, such as:
🌾 Winter wheat – One of the first crops to benefit from manure fertilization.
🌿 Barley and rye – These crops thrive in cooler temperatures, ensuring a spring harvest 🌱.

Planting in October allows crops to:
✅ Survive frost and harsh conditions. ❄️
✅ Absorb nutrients during dormancy. 💤
✅ Grow rapidly when temperatures rise in early spring 🌞.

This interconnected cycle—cow mating, soil enrichment, and crop planting—sustains both humans and animals, creating a delicate, yet vital system that ensures survival 🌱.

Why Cows Mate in October: The Science Behind the Season
Cow mating in October is not random—it’s a strategic, biological adaptation that maximizes the survival of the herd and sustains human agriculture. 🌿

  1. Seasonal Breeding: Ensuring Calves Thrive
    Cows have a gestation period of about 283 days (nine months and ten days). By mating in October, calves are born in late spring or early summer 🌞, ensuring they:
    ✅ Benefit from lush pastures in the spring 🌱.
    ✅ Are born in warmer temperatures, reducing the risk of cold stress and illness 🌡️.
    ✅ Grow strong during the warm months before facing harsher winter conditions ❄️.

    This alignment between cow fertility and seasonal change optimizes both livestock and human survival. 🐄🌾
  2. Temperature’s Role in Fertility
    One of the most critical reasons October is ideal for cow mating is temperature regulation:
    🔥 Summer heat stress (June–August) reduces cow ovulation and bull sperm production, lowering fertility rates.
    🍂 Cooler autumn temperatures reduce this stress, leading to higher conception rates and healthier pregnancies.
    🌙 Shorter daylight hours trigger hormonal changes in bulls, increasing testosterone and mating activity.

    As a result, October becomes the prime season for mating success, ensuring a healthy next generation 🌱.
  3. Genetic Diversity and Selective Breeding
    Farmers rotate bulls into herds in October to:
    ✅ Prevent overworking a single bull, ensuring better reproductive success 🐂.
    ✅ Introduce genetic diversity, leading to stronger, disease-resistant cattle 🦠.
    ✅ Select for desirable traits, such as better milk production and larger calves. 🐄

    This strategic breeding ensures long-term prosperity for both the herd and human agriculture. 🌾

Why Cows, Not Scorpions, Represent October in the Fertility Wheel
By realigning the October pictogram in the Fertility Wheel, we restore its true agricultural and ecological purpose:
Scorpions are dormant in October and play no role in human survival during this time. 🦂
Cows reach peak fertility, ensuring strong, healthy livestock for the coming year. 🐄
Cow manure revitalizes soil, preparing fields for winter crops 🌾.
✅ Farmers synchronize breeding, fertilization, and planting, ensuring a sustainable agricultural cycle 🌱.

Unlike the Roman zodiac’s misplaced symbols, the Fertility Wheel reflects nature’s cycles, demonstrating how human survival depended on aligning with the rhythms of the earth 🌍.

October: The Month of the Cow—Not the Scorpion
October is more than just a transitional month—it’s the foundation of survival for both humans and livestock.
✅ Cows mate, ensuring a strong, healthy next generation 🐄.
✅ Fields are fertilized with manure, enriching the soil for spring planting 🌾.
✅ Winter crops are sown, ensuring food security for the year ahead 🍽️.

Unlike the Roman zodiac, which was manipulated for astrological purposes, the Fertility Wheel was a guide for survival—a tool for planting, breeding, and harvesting, not fortune-telling. 🌿 It ensured communities thrived by following natural rhythms and connected humans to the earth’s cycles, ensuring prosperity 🌞.
This isn’t speculation—it’s a historical, scientific, and agricultural fact. ✅

October is the month of the cow—not the scorpion.
The Fertility Wheel reclaims the lost wisdom of our ancestors 🌱.

Newborns: The True Symbol of November 22 – December 21 🌟👶

In the Roman zodiac, Capricorn (the Goat-Fish) is assigned to this period, but this symbol doesn’t truly reflect the most important event of the season—the birth of children. From the ancient ritual of Inanna and Dumuzid on the spring equinox, which fertilized the earth, a nine-month pregnancy cycle leads to the sacred December birth. This period represents not just human fertility, but also the deep agricultural and spiritual traditions across civilizations. Many divine figures were born at this time, making it one of the most spiritually significant moments of the year. 🌱✨

The Spring Equinox: The Perfect Time for Conception 🌸

🌱 March 21—the spring equinox—is a time for fertility and new beginnings.
💫 Inanna, the goddess of fertility and renewal, was associated with conception and the awakening of life. This sacred time balanced day and night, kicking off the fertility season, and was key for both humans and plants.
🌾 Women pregnant in March could still contribute to planting, securing food while nurturing new life.

A pregnancy starting in March culminates in a birth at the peak of the winter solstice, from November 22 to December 21. This time aligns with profound spiritual significance and the renewal of life. 🌿

The Nine-Month Cycle: From Conception to Birth

When we follow the natural rhythm of the earth, a pregnancy that begins in March results in a birth in December, perfectly timed with the winter solstice. This alignment marks a powerful moment in both human and agricultural history, where the symbol of the newborn emerges as the key figure of this period. In the Fertility Wheel, this symbol represents the birth of life, the return of light, and the renewal for the coming year. 🌞

December Births: A Universal Symbol of Renewal and Divine Birth 🔆

Throughout history, December births have been associated with divine figures, symbolizing the return of the sun and the victory over darkness. Notable divine births during this time include:

🔆 Sol Invictus – The Roman sun god, born on December 25, marking the return of light after the darkest day of the year.
✝️ Jesus Christ – Born on December 25, symbolizing the renewal of mankind and the triumph of light over darkness.
☀️ Mithras – A Persian sun deity, born on the winter solstice, representing cosmic victory and promise.
👑 Horus – Egyptian mythology’s sun god, born to Isis and Osiris, symbolizing rebirth and cosmic order.
🌱 Baldur – The Norse god of beauty and purity, born at this time, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life, death, and renewal.

These births align with the winter solstice, a time when the sun is reborn, marking hope and the promise of renewal. 🌟

Why December Births Were Ideal for Survival 🏔️

December was not only spiritually significant but biologically advantageous for survival:
🌿 Less Agricultural Labor – With harvests complete, mothers could rest and bond with their newborns without the stress of farming.
🥛 Abundant Animal Milk – Fresh milk from cows and goats, produced after mating in October, ensured nourishment for both mother and child.
🔥 Shelter & Warmth – The winter season provided optimal conditions for recovery and early infancy, with warmth and protection from the harsh cold.

By recognizing newborns as the symbol of November 22 to December 21, the Fertility Wheel restores the true meaning of this period—birth, renewal, and the cycle of life. This focus on birth during the darkest part of the year highlights the profound importance of this time in human culture and survival. 💖🌍

The Fertility Wheel connects human fertility, agricultural cycles, and spiritual renewal, demonstrating how the natural rhythms of the earth guide us. December births symbolize the return of light and the promise of hope for the future. 🌞🌱✨

Crabs & Shellfish: The True Symbol of December 22 – January 21 🦀❄️

The Roman zodiac currently assigns Cancer (the Crab) to June–July, but this does not align with nature’s true seasonal cycles. Crabs, which are vital for winter survival, are misrepresented in the traditional zodiac. The Fertility Wheel corrects this by placing the Crab in its rightful position, from December 22 – January 21, marking the true seasonal and ecological significance of crabs.

🦀 Crabs in Winter: A Lifeline for Survival

  • 🌊 Crabs thrive in cold waters, reaching their peak breeding cycles during winter months. As the weather cools, crabs move closer to shore, making them easier to catch and a crucial food source during the colder months.
  • ❄️ Cold waters are ideal for crabs to store vital nutrients and fats, providing essential sustenance when other food sources are scarce.
  • 🍲 Crabs offer crucial proteins, fats, and minerals, helping ancient communities survive through the winter months, particularly when agriculture is limited, and hunting is difficult.

🦀 The Winter Catch: Why Crabs Are Essential

  • ✅ Easy to Catch: Crabs move into shallow waters in winter, making them easier to harvest and store.
  • ✅ Nutrient-rich: Crabs are packed with fat, minerals, and proteins, providing vital nutrition in the harsh winter months.
  • ✅ Fertilizer: Discarded crab shells became valuable as natural fertilizer for fields, replenishing the soil in preparation for spring planting.

By aligning the Crab with December 22 – January 21, the Fertility Wheel restores its role in the seasonal food cycle, emphasizing its importance as a critical food source in winter.

The Lion: The True Symbol of January 22 – February 21 🦁🔥

The Roman zodiac places Leo in July–August, linking it with fire and dominance. However, in the natural world, lions do not mate or give birth during this time. Their peak mating season occurs between January and February, making this the true seasonal period for lions on the Fertility Wheel.

🦁 Why January–February Is the Lion’s True Season

  • 🦁 Lion Mating: Lions breed during the cooler months, ensuring their cubs are born in late spring or summer when food is abundant. This timing ensures their cubs’ survival and the continuation of the species.
  • 🌧️ End of the Rainy Season: The rainy season’s end brings an abundance of food, allowing lions to thrive, engage in mating rituals, and ensure the survival of their cubs.
  • 🐾 Active Lions: Lions are most active during this period, engaged in territorial displays, hunting, and mating, making it a critical time for their reproduction.

🦁 Lions as Symbols of Challenge and Survival

  • 🔺 Threat to Livestock: Lions posed a direct threat to livestock, attacking sheep, goats, and cattle, which were essential to ancient human societies.
  • 🔺 Apex Predators: As top predators, lions forced humans to develop weapons and protective strategies to defend their resources.
  • 🔺 Symbol of Resilience: Overcoming the threat of lions was seen as a sign of strength and resilience, qualities highly revered in ancient cultures.

By placing the Lion in January 22 – February 21, the Fertility Wheel corrects Leo’s misalignment and restores its true role in nature, showcasing both its power and its threat to ancient human survival.

Aligning with Nature’s Rhythms 🌱

The Fertility Wheel not only corrects the misplacement of the Crab and Lion in the traditional zodiac, but it also provides a deeper connection between human survival and the natural world. By syncing the zodiac with the true cycles of life, the Fertility Wheel emphasizes how ancient wisdom and nature’s rhythms have always intertwined to ensure survival and renewal.

May this message go to the people that need to listen.

It was easy to figure out and to understand.

Stephen’s lifelong fascination with ancient myths, cultures, and the stars has been a journey of discovery and intrigue. From devouring books to indulging in shows like Ancient Aliens and tuning into channels like the History Channel and Gaia, he immersed himself in the mysteries of the past. 

Over time, Stephen couldn’t ignore the common pictograms of Zodiac symbols across different cultures and their potential significance beyond mere fortune-telling. It dawned on him that these symbols might hold deeper agricultural and seasonal wisdom.

Playing with his star tracker app one day, Stephen made a fascinating observation. He was in the exact correct longitude, and the stars showed the correct time or season for each pictogram.

Despite these revelations, Stephen didn’t act on his insights immediately. It wasn’t until he noticed the nine-month gap between the symbol of a woman and the symbol of twins that everything clicked. Realizing the woman symbol represented Inanna, the goddess of fertility, childbirth, sex, and more, and the twins should be represented by newborns, not adults or teens. He saw the connection to human gestation periods.

This realization spurred Stephen to research more into the mating behaviors of seasonal breeders depicted on so many zodiacs, seeking to understand their peak mating times.

The position of certain Zodiac symbols coincided with peak seasons for animal mating.

The horse (centaur) was shown during the mares’ peak mating season. All land animals are shown during their peak mating period of the year. These animals include the horses, sheep, goats, and more. The symbol for crabs aligned with shrimp and crab seasons for catching and eating. 

Yet, he found solace in the symbolic importance of the saying, “Water brings fertility to the land”. The representation of water on the fertility wheel aligns precisely with the celebration of the annual flooding of the Nile in Egypt on August 15th.

Thus, the concept of the “Fertility Wheel” was born in Stephen’s mind. As he continued his studies, he came to understand that the alignment of Zodiac symbols with the sun, rather than the stars, was crucial. This alignment transformed the Zodiac into a perpetual Farmer’s Almanac, a guide to agricultural cycles and fertility, transcending cultural and geographic boundaries.

The Fertility Wheel

The unveiling of this hidden treasure has long been anticipated by scholars and enthusiasts alike. Through his work, Stephen has revived the ancient wisdom embedded in these symbols, restoring their significance and relevance to the modern world.

The Fertility Wheel is more than mere pictograms! It embodies the profound interconnectedness of nature and the universe, and how humans can be in harmony with nature. These symbols are to help humankind understand nature even if you speak a different language or can not read my words. These symbols will enable people from all walks of life to grasp the deeper meanings they contain.

Imagine if the symbols of the Zodiac took the form of uncomplicated pictograms, each representing elements of farming, agriculture, and survival. These symbols would capture the essential aspects of agriculture and are closely tied to the cultivation of crops, seasonal cycles, and the pursuit of sustenance. Such a reinterpretation could provide a unique and grounded perspective, aligning the celestial with the fundamental aspects of earthly survival and agricultural practices.

This understanding can alter your perception of your familiar zodiac symbol or sign. Once you grasp the mechanics of this ancient agricultural almanac or Fertility Wheel, its value and benefits will become unmistakably evident, and you won’t be able to overlook the profound impact it could have.

This would be one of the most critical pieces of information for any shepherd, farmer, or village to have in ancient times, and it may be just as important in the future.

Once you see and understand the Fertility Wheel’s meaning and how to use it as a tool or guide you might not ever see the Zodiac the same way again.

The Chinese Fertility Wheel

Stephen’s New Theory on the Chinese Zodiac. The Yellow Emperor made significant contributions that shaped various aspects of Chinese civilization. He played a key role in developing the Chinese zodiac, astronomy, mathematics, and agriculture. In the traditional Chinese narrative, the Yellow Emperor is lauded for improving the lives of the nomadic hunters within his tribe. His teachings are credited with introducing agricultural practices, particularly cultivating the five grains.

Additionally, the Yellow Emperor is attributed to the creation of the Chinese lunar calendar, a sophisticated timekeeping system still in use today. Unlike the solar-based Gregorian calendar, the Chinese lunar calendar is lunisolar, considering both the moon’s phases and the sun’s position. With months lasting 29.5 days, this calendar guides crucial agricultural events, festivals, and rituals, offering invaluable guidance to farmers and society.

The Yellow Emperor’s agricultural legacy is equally remarkable. Under his reign, ancient Chinese farmers advanced irrigation systems, refined crop cultivation techniques, and introduced innovations like the plow. His emphasis on agriculture as the cornerstone of a stable and prosperous society laid the foundation for China’s enduring agricultural success. Unfortunately, his essential message about farming has been obscured by the misplacement and order of the zodiac animals, along with the incorrect timeline. The key lies in using his lunisolar calendar, not a conventional 12-year cycle.

By comprehending the Yellow Emperor’s lunisolar calendar and zodiac and aligning them with understanding the animals’ peak mating cycles, one can discern the profound connection to a Fertility Wheel embedded in this system.

The tools in Durgas hands

Stephen’s research journey also led him to explore various religions, where he recognized parallels with the Hindu goddess Durga. In Durga’s many hands, he discovered symbols and tools representing monthly tasks, much like the Fertility Wheel, but they were not in the correct order to serve as an agricultural guide. By aligning these elements correctly, Stephen aims to reveal a profound agricultural message woven into the fabric of ancient civilizations.

While understanding the Fertility Wheel, Stephen consistently had dreams of a goddess riding a tiger or lion. A quick search led him to Durga, depicted with tools in her hands—tools he recognized, although they seemed misplaced and often in the wrong hands.

Starting with spring, Stephen noticed a wand in Durga’s hand, similar to Inanna’s, symbolizing the season of renewal. For the summer solstice, he found a bow and arrow, akin to Dumuzid’s symbols. A trident represented fish, and the Horn of Plenty symbolized sheep, goats, deer, and the fall equinox. There was even a shell and a tiger or lion depiction to mark the winter solstice.

With a bit more research, Stephen realigned these tools to reflect farming rather than war. 

He placed the items in Durga’s hands in the correct positions and appropriate hands, revealing their true purpose: to help people understand farming. Like the Fertility Wheel, Durga’s tools offered guidance on agricultural practices, a knowledge that had been lost over time. Once the tools and their representations are seen in this context, the connection becomes clear and unmistakable.

About the book Fertility Wheel

A Word from Stephen and his NEW Theory

My theory centers on the premise that the original symbols served as a practical guide, a tool meticulously crafted to assist farmers, ranchers, and shepherds in comprehending the intricacies of agriculture through a concise set of 12 symbols. When the symbols are aligned correctly, it becomes a Fertility Wheel. The enlightened path is easy to follow and understand even if you do not speak the language or understand the words.

Exploring the intricate origins and meanings of the symbols, I discovered the precise months or seasons of the original zodiac symbols, forming a guide for animal mating and crop farming. This alignment, creating an ancient farmer’s guide or almanac, is a roadmap for optimal breeding of common farm animals and planting seasons for wheat and grain.

Farming, or crop and animal husbandry, emerged as a crucial undertaking for survival. Successful cultivation demands meticulous knowledge of soil preparation, seed selection, and harvesting techniques. Understanding which seeds to use and when to plant them could determine the survival or starvation of a community.

How do you see Inanna, the Goddess of Fertility?

 

The goddess Inanna, a central figure in Sumerian mythology, has been known by several names across different cultures and time periods. In Akkadian and Babylonian mythology, she is referred to as Ishtar, sharing attributes such as love, beauty, sex, fertility, war, justice, and political power. In Canaanite and Phoenician cultures, she is known as Astarte, similarly associated with love, fertility, and war.

In Greek and Roman mythology, Inanna’s characteristics are echoed in the goddesses Aphrodite and Venus, respectively, both of whom are deities of love, beauty, and desire. In ancient Syrian religion, she is linked to Atargatis, a goddess of fertility often depicted as a mermaid-like figure. Another ancient Mesopotamian variant of her name is Innina. She has been know by other names as well. As her worship spread, Inanna’s influence and attributes evolved, leading to these various names and associations across different regions and eras.
