Sidereal Rising Vol.2, Issue 2 – June Solstice 2026
In her powerful article “Gu₄.An.Na: The Bull of Heaven,” Abbeygale Quinn delves deeply into the mythology and astrology of the Wild Bull—the ancient Mesopotamian predecessor of the constellation Taurus.

- A thoughtful study of aligning diet and daily living with the seasonal rhythms of the natural world, examining how ancient agricultural wisdom can inform modern well-being.
- A comprehensive survey of the constellation Gemini across time, following its evolution from Mesopotamian star lore through later astrological traditions and into contemporary practice.
- An insightful exploration of the Mesopotamian concept of the Wild Bull, tracing its symbolism, mythology, and astrological significance within the constellation known today as Taurus.
