Wiktionary says that it's Aries, which is the correct answer. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/V%C3%A4duren (hope that link works) The sun is in Sagittarius in late autumn. Sagittarius is also the direction of the center of the Milky Way. The Milky Way is tilted some 60 degrees from the ecliptic, so there's only two points where the two planes intersect and one of them is towards the center. It's purely a coincidence, though. There's no physical reason it has to be there. -- Dan Tilque |
