Abstract

The sexual polarity, belonging to a world-wide web of oppositions, concerns the heavenly bodies and regions themselves as well as their influence on entire peoples and idividuals on earth. Ptolemy depends on Babylonian and Hellenistic astrology, Pythagorean numerology, Aristotelian ethics and Greek mythology. His detailed enumeration of all thinkable cases shows a rigorous schematism of both contents and syntax that considers all possible varieties of sexual comportment and depravation.
