The Entomozodiac is an ancient horoscope that was developed by old civilizations living in the South American Andes. These pre-Incan civilizations used a zodiac system consisting of 12 signs or houses that were named after 12 insects. The original name for this horoscope pronounces like “Naivsku” but we have renamed it “Entomozodiac”, a combination of “Entomology” and “Zodiac”.

Until a few years ago the Entomozodiac was rather unknown, but recent archaeological discoveries in the South American rain forests have sparked a renewed scientific interest in this ancient indigenous knowledge. When a team of archeologists and anthropologists started to collect and compile available information they called this “The Entomozodiac Project” (TEP).

The 12 signs of the Entomozodiac

The Entomozodiac consists of 12 insect signs, with each sign corresponding to a period of the year of approximately 30 days. The Entomozodiac years starts on 22 September, which is the time when the sun crosses the equator from North to South, marking the beginning of spring for the ancient civilizations living in the Andes mountains.

History of the Entomozodiac

Early civilizations (pre-Inca) in the Andes had already defined a “Zodiac” based on their own stellar observations. The clear mountain skies in early human history revealed many more stars and patterns than can be seen today. Many of these patterns were interpreted as constellations representing persons, animals or objects. Well known constellations of the pre-Inca’s era include: standing man, sitting girl, llama, leopard, butterfly, wasp, maize plant, and tree. These constellations can be big or small and they can be individual signs or overlapping with others. Some stars are part of several quite distinct constellations that were recognized by these early civilizations. To measure progress of time throughout the year (which was important for their developing agriculture) the chief astronomers then mapped out a series of constellations resembling insects, which helped them to roughly divide the year in 12 periods (of approximately a month). Cropping calendars were directly linked to the appearance of these insects in the sky. Several of these insect constellations consist of a large number of minor stars and are nowadays not easy to recognize as night skies have become blurred with polluted airs and light pollution. But some, for example the “butterfly” can still be easily seen on clear nights (for example from mountain tops) and partly overlaps with the better known modern constellation of “Aquarius”.

Modern zodiacs are believed to have “borrowed” heavily from this ancient pre-Inca indigenous knowledge. But in many cases astrologers have added their own interpretations which have obscured many of the ancient truths. The commercialization of modern astrology has attracted “astrologists” who use horoscopes to predict the future. This questionable misuse of the modern zodiac has fortunately not polluted the purer entomozodiac, which has been passed on throughout the ages within secluded communities in the Andes and Amazon regions. The entomozodiac does not make any predictions but is used to describe human characters. It has now been scientifically proved that characterizations based on the Entomozodiac have an accuracy of upto 70%. This may seem low but is actually much more accurate than any other known system in use. Empirical studies have found that astrological predictions based on western, Chinese or even Indian zodiacs are no better than random chance. For example it has been shown that matches based on astrological compatibility are not resulting in significant lower divorce rates, and astrological signs do never correlate with a certain career path. It seems the pre-Incan astronomers have never ventured in this non-science of finding compatibilities or making predictions. When they developed their Entomozodiac they preferred to stay on firm ground matching a detailed characterization of a person with his/her birth sign. Your birth sign does not determine what you will be but it describes who you are.
