Once upon a time there was a prince who inherited the throne, and it was decided that the time had come for a coronation.
When the question of the date of the coronation arose at court, astrologers stepped forward and said:
- The date should be set only after the horoscope of the event has been drawn up, otherwise your reign may be unhappy.
“Reasonable,” said the prince.
But then a Sufi appeared who said:
- Your Highness! According to this doctrine, the horoscope of the moment at which the coronation horoscope will be cast must first be cast, otherwise the astrologers may perform their work at the wrong moment.
- This is true? - the prince asked the astrologers.
“Yes, this can happen,” they answered.
“But,” continued the Sufi, “what about the horoscope about the horoscope of the coronation horoscope?” How to compose it?
No one could answer this question, and finally, after much wrangling, astrologers decided to adjust their rules, and the prince ascended the throne without a horoscope.
