Cicero
"FLVMINA uerna cient obscuro lumine Pisces curriculumque Aries aequat noctisque diique, cornua quem condunt florum praenuntia Tauri; aridaque aestatis Gemini primordia pandunt, longaque iam minuit praeclarus lumina Cancer, languificosque Leo proflat ferus ore calores.
Post modium quatiens Virgo fugat orta uaporem: autumni reserat portas aequatque diurna tempora nocturnis dispenso sidere Libra: effetos ramos denudat flamma Nepai: pigra Sagittipotens iaculatur frigora terris: bruma gelu glaciat iubarem spirans Capricorni, quem sequitur nebulas rorans liquor altus Aquari.
Tanta supra circaque uigescunt lumina mundi; at dextra laeuaque ciet rota fulgida Solis mobile curriculum et Lunae simulacra feruntur."
Omens of Taurus bundle horns of flowers and the heat of Gemini's summer begin to spread out.
For Cancer divides the long glorious light, wild Leo breathes out hot lazy wind with his face.
After such, quivering, Virgo chases with storming vapors, Autumn unlocks doors and equals the daily routine.
The Constellation Libra weighs out the time of night, the Flamming scorpion strips the worn out limbs, while Sagitarrius ejaculates freeze on the Earth.
Winter breathing out the rays of Capricorn, which the high fluidity of Aquarius dews fogs.
How great they skip and go under and about, but meanwhile the wheel of the shining sun stirs to the right and left, the movable vehicle and that of the moon are supported.
(Kornelii Reissig. Sozviezdiia Predstavlennyia... 1829)
(It is interesting to see some of the christian symbology on these old astrological maps)
