A circle is drawn to
represent Jupiter’s orbit. Four touching circles drawn with centres
on this circle leave a space in the middle which can be taken to
represent Mars’ mean orbit with over
99.9% accuracy. Four touching
circles can also be used to accurately space Chiron from Mars when
viewed from Earth (not shown but do try it at home). An alternative
and much neater way of drawing the two orbits is shown reduced in
the bottom right hand corner.
Jupiter rules expansion and Mars is characterised by
acts of will; as long as there is a good structure to the expansion,
normally provided by Saturn, and here symbolised by the square, then
this is the stuff of which empires are built.
