The Melusine, an equinox zodiac image.

The Melusine

Looking at Phanes as a combination image of the two equinoxes in the previous article, makes the modern image of the Melusine more interesting. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, our spring equinox is not in Aries, but in Pisces. The autumn equinox is not in Libra but in Virgo. One can also see, that Gemini is the summer solstice.

Ignore the dates in below image, they are incorrect and applicable for the year 0 and not the year 2000 due to the phenomena of the precession of the equinoxes. The sun has moved a constellation backwards as you can easily see on this website to see your true star sign.

This is likely another reason for its pairing with the sun god (Dioscuri/Ashvin/Horse twins/Hero twins) on the triumphal arches from roman till our modern times. (the two golden figures flanking the sungod.

A “modern Phanes

If one would apply the same thinking that created Phanes in roman times to our modern times, the Melusine is “the image of Phanes” one would get.

The Melusine is the perfect image of combining the current equinoxes into 1 composite image as it combines the two fishes of pisces, with Virgo. Original image source: https://discoverthemermaids.quora.com/The-Magical-Melusine

It is for this reason we see it so much in churches, as the church and their bible is a completely based on our zodiac related references as explained in the Codex Dei article.

Starbucks

Of course everyone knows the Starbucks logo but here is its history according to their brand agency, which missed a whole bunch of relevant information. It is much more then “just a siren”. Its a genius “modern version of Phanes” taking the current equinoxes in mind.
