and Bimbo astrologo. In her theories, Morpurgo applied a logical and rational approach to astrology. She revisited astrological theories reconfiguring the system of domiciles and exaltations of the planets. This approach gave more value to astrological theories which suggested the existence of two more planets. Morpurgo defined them as X-Demetra and Y-Eolo. X would signify the great female principal, in complementary opposition to the meaning of Pluto. Y would signify the great ruler of long and slow time and low frequencies - lord of meteorological and geological phenomena, in complementary opposition to the meaning of Neptune. Morpurgo organised and directed 12 congresses of astrological studies. The first one in Laveno in 1976, others in Ferrara, Varese, Mantova, Verona, Riccione, the last one in 1993. Before her death, Morpurgo decided to entrust the study material accumulated over time to her pupils and collaborators Gabriele Silvagni and Raffaella Vaccari. Silvagni and Vaccari publicated the study material, making this documentation free and universally available with its whole considerable historical and scientific importance. The main characteristic of Morpurgo's work was the attempt to link empirical observation to zodiacal symbology with the objective of denying or confirming astrological traditional beliefs and suppositions by means of rational observation of phenomena. In a few words, we can say that Morpurgo achieved the complete zodiac deciphering on the basis of strict logical and geometrical principles, identifying all its components. But she was particularly brilliant at deciphering what was hidden inside that heavenly mechanism: the interpretation code of cosmic reality that, through two different zodiacal systems A and B (each with its two specific Zodiacs), completes the map of the real Cosmogony.
