Los "Términos" de los signos del Zodíaco

Cada signo del Zodíaco está subdividido en cinco segmentos de tamaño variable y cada segmento está "regido" por un planeta. Estos segmentos se llaman "términos" o "límites" o "fronteras" del signo. (Latín finis y terminus, griego ὅριον).

The transmission history of the Ptolemaean Terms is unfortunately very complicated. Several different versions of them have appeared over the centuries. The current version, which goes back to William Lilly, is just one of them. Deborah Holding has made an attempt to reconstruct the original Ptolemaean Terms based on some logical principles from which they may have been derived.
