and initiate the coordinate order. It is factitious, since it does not refer to the set of physical components that can be found independently in the sky, such as stars or constellations otherwise known as xe2x80x9cthe first point of Ariesxe2x80x9d, or the constellation of Aries, etc. Yet, a physical-based definition of zodiac star objects in the heavens was the original, non-factitious method, and basis for xe2x80x9cthe first point of Ariesxe2x80x9d as used and understood in astrology and in astronomy.
At the time of Hipparchus, a time when the positions and the coordinates reflected the concrete zodiac signs per region, the vernal equinox was physically marked when xe2x80x9cthe first point of Ariesxe2x80x9d appeared. Alas, this xe2x80x9cpointxe2x80x9d was not a single star, but came to refer to two stars, Beta Arietiscomputer programs, the zodiac ring is effectively rotated 30 degrees back.
In the means to this point, the inventor used where required the date, 129 BC, as the date at which the vernal equinox was fixed as Aries 0 degrees by Western, tropical, astrology; this is the date when Hipparchus is to have finished his star catalogue.
But, to begin to construct a star catalogue, the origin of the mapping system needed be first set, and as this is the vernal equinox, so, another valid and appropriate date to select for calculations is at the beginning of his cataloguing, by 146 BC. From 146 BC to the new millennium 2000 AD, is 2146 years. Arguments the new millennium begins 2001 AD, is 2147 years. Further, arguments for 147 BC project
