In reply to John Eaton.

Pisces was a red ‘erring! Gemini was in fact Mr DA’s probable star sign!

You’ve done it again, Janet! Another riveting and most erudite and informative piece, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. One learns something new every day – especially if one is in total lockdown and on the EducateD Traveller’s List!!!
One small point confused me, however. As Pisces people are born between 19 Feb and 20 March, why do you say that Dante’s date of birth was probably under Gemini (21 May to 21 June) and that in 1265 “the sun was in Gemini (Pisces)”, when they are two totally different signs and at different times of year? – or am I being thick?.
Beautiful photographs of the artwork, too – very. Many thanks!
John
