Cetus – the princess-gobbling sea monster.

Mini-theme: Mouse Hoodies – the Thirteen + One

Art © 10/2023 Marvin E. Fuller

With a star representing the variable star Mira.

And an extra one as an apology for taking nearly a year to get back to the Mouse Hoodies.  Although the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun through Earth's sky) doesn't directly go through Cetus the Whale, it does come very close to one corner of the constellation's boundaries, enough so that the Moon and the planets will often clip through that corner.  In fact, Mars' own ecliptic actually does pass through Cetus, effectively dividing Pisces in half.

In 1970, Steven Schmidt proposed a fourteen-sign zodiac in his Astrology 14 which added Ophiuchus (December 6 - December 31) and Cetus (May 12 - June 6) to the standard twelve.

That's the one all right.  From Mars, that line representing the Sun's path through the sky actually does go through that one corner.  In fact, when I once worked up a horoscope for Mars using the Darian calendar, I added in Cetus with Earth's 13, thus giving Mars a 14-sun-signed zodiac.

I'm not sure I follow that.  Cetus does still exist as a constellation, but if you were hinting at the possibility of Mouse Hoodies for asterisms like Testuda, Cancer_Minor, or Noctua, I wasn't considering going that far.  The most I had in mind was the Northern Fly for Aries (the stars now making up Aries' tail) which I referenced on Capricorn as I hadn't thought of doing that when I started the series.

If I were to ever go that route, it would most likely be after a hypothetical "Mouse Hoodies – the Eighty-Eight" which would have attempted to go through the other seventy-four official constellations.  I very much doubt I'd go that far.
