Hi Alea.....
The Astrological order is always the same,the daily
and yearly cycles are clockwise through the Zodiac
while the 24,000 year cycle is anti-clockwise.
Look at the Universe as Electromagnetic in nature
with Electromagnetic ether,planetary bodies and stars
and Electromagnetic living entities such as humans,
and you have one huge Electromagnetic circuit....
Like a train travelling around a huge 24,000 year
electrical circuit track with different electromagnetic forces ,it's not hard to see how distant constellations & the position along the track can effect us......More Electricity,less magnetism
in the Golden Ethereal Age to more magnetism,less
electricity in the Matter age of Lead and Clay....
This theory would put the Sphinx in the Ages of
Virgo(female face)& Leo(lion body)....about
14,000 years ago.
