A very astute astrologer asked (on Facebook), “Maybe the Moon’s exaltation was based on Algol and not the Pleiades?” I can’t recall the lad’s name, but it’s a good question, as Algol’s fixed (Fagan-Allen) ecliptic longitude is about 1°30′ distant from 3° Taurus, a tad closer than Alcyone’s longitude.

However, the answer, is no. It’s all about the Pleiades. Well, almost all. An analysis and conclusion follows…

The next falls on the night of July 10/11, 785 BC.
