The following figures represent the houses of the Auxerre zodiac (Fig 14) :

Aries The ram or lamb

Taurus The bull

Gemini The twins. Two separate figures, one dark (formed by woodland), one light (formed by open space between woodland). They are resting inside the Cancerian ship.

Cancer Argo navis, the ship

Leo The lion

Virgo The angel

Libra Aquila, the eagle

Scorpio The scorpion

Sagittarius The donkey

Capricorn The horse, Pegasus

Aquarius The phoenix

Pisces The fish. One large, one small.

Some of these signs are not the traditional signs used to represent the houses. For example, there is a ship in the house of Cancer. Or rather it is a reflection of the celestial constellation Argo navis, which is a very bright constellation as opposed to the more traditional constellation of Cancer which is rather dim. The choice of constellation used to represent each house could also depend on its mythological interpretation.

The length of the seal of Solomon pattern which contains Auxerre town centre is :

1/phi Km (0,618 Km)

By multiplying 1/phi x 26 we obtain 39,554 Km.

This distance is the distance between the octagonal 11th century church at Laroche-St-Cydroine and the church from the same period at Prégilbert.

The larger seal of Solomon pattern between these two churches neatly encloses the Auxerre landscape zodiac (Fig 15).
