I have a group of medieval European people who have been sent millions of years back in time by an astrologer-sorcerer. They have almost succeeded in putting together a counter-spell to return them to their present.
My questions:
I came across an incomplete list of auspicious days in the lunar cycle for various undertakings; does anyone have a complete list?
In astrological terms, what combination of visible planets, sun and moon would suggest homecoming to the medieval mind?
Searched:
Warren Kenton: Astrology: The Celestial Mirror
Margaret Wade Labarge: Medieval Travellers
Ian Mortimer: The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England (would have been cool if this had had anything helpful in it!)
Reader's Digest: Daily Life in the Age of Chivalry
Keith Thomas: Religion and the Decline of Magic
Google Scholar: combinations of: medieval astrology auspicious lunar homecoming return NOT zodiac NOT constellation
Many thanks!
