Astrology can be heady stuff. The Moon travels around Earth in 27 days, and since the effects of the Moon are so profound to life, ancient Vedic astrologers divided the motion of the Moon into 27 separate parts, or Mansions. 360 degrees divided into 27 days gives the Moon about one day per Lunar Mansion. Each Mansion is ruled by a planet, sometimes two, which is what gives the Mansions their different characters. And since planetary rulership is based on the relationship of the zodiac to the orbit of the Moon. . .huh? What’s most relevant to your box figurine is that it depicts all twelve signs of the Western zodiac, with six astrological signs on the base and six on the lid. Should you examine the planetary alignment closely, you will discover carver Neil Eyre’s birthday. If all of this is perplexing, open the piece and take a deep breath. Here you’ll see a serene starry sky.
