"Vitruvius, the architect, says in his architectural work that the measurements
of man are in nature distributed in this manner, that is 4 fingers make a palm,
4 palms make a foot, 6 palms make a cubit, 4 cubits make a man, 4 cubits make
a footstep, 24 palms make a man and these measures are in his buildings. If you
open your legs enough that your head is lowered by 1/14 of your height and raise
your arms enough that your extended fingers touch the line of the top of your
head, let you know that the center of the ends of the open limbs will be the
navel, and the space between the legs will be an equilateral triangle"

a layer of about 20% opacity sector color fills makes distinguishing polygons

magenta; for zodiac equivalents, the following chart includes secondary colors

* the 36 decan zodiac divides each of the twelve, 30-degree zodiac sectors into
three equal parts according to the four cardinal elements: water, air, earth,
and fire; cancer, libra, capricorn, and aries, are the cardinal zodiac signs;
scorpio, aquarius, taurus, leo, are fixed; pisces, gemini, virgo, sagittarius
are mutable; thus aries decans are red, yellow, and blue-violet; taurus decans
are red-orange, green, and violet; gemini decans are orange, cyan, and violet-
magenta; cancer decans are orange-yellow, blue, and magenta; leo decans are
yellow, blue-violet, and red; virgo decans are green, violet, and red-orange;
libra decans are cyan, violet-magenta, and orange; scorpio decans are blue,
magenta, and orange-yellow; sagittarius decans are blue-violet, red, and
yellow; capricorn decans are violet, red-orange, and green; aquarius decans
are violet-magenta, orange, and cyan; completing the circle, pisces decans
are magenta, orange-yellow, and blue; this circle is the caelestial zodiac
(caelestinum firmamentum) with its fixed signs at the cardinal directions;
its equator is the earth-sun ecliptic; prime fiducial aldebaran 15 taurus;
* the terrestrial zodiac is centered in the square, with cardinal signs at the
cardinal directions of the earth's rotational axis inclined ~23.4 degrees to
the caelestial equator; as a result this oblique rotating 36-decan zodiac is
at landfall rotated 30 degrees counterclockwise to place aries 180, libra 0,
capricorn 90, and cancer 270; taurus 210, scorpio 30, aquarius 120, and leo
300; gemini 240, sagittarius 60, pisces 150, and virgo 330; in round numbers,
the terrestrial prime fiducial is the great pyramid at 0 gemini(~29tau53:35)
longitude(~6.4 miles due east to 0gem00:00) and 30 north(~29n58:45) latitude;
