I will share the actual decisioning and thinking at the time.

And the dangerous journey we took.

With the Atash. From the mountains to the sea.

On horseback. In disguise. Through heavily fortified enemy lines.

City of Hormuz & Astrology​

Qissa couplet
Line 105: With behdins, dasturs and friends, he marched to the city of Hormuz*.
There they spent fifteen years suffering oppression and abuse from the darwand, the dregvant, the followers of the Lie.
The learned dastur there with them was also an accomplished astrologer
After consulting his old astrological charts** (he said),
"Our time here is at an end. It is well we leave this country. Leave this country forthwith we must."

[Note: *Old Hormuz city was thought to be located near the city of Minab in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan. The ruins of the city of Hormuz have been identified some fifty kilometres from the province's present main city and port - Bandar Abbas. New Hormuz city was located on Hormoz Island. Both are at the horn of the Persian Gulf (see our page on Hormozgan).

** This reference to astrology being part of a learned dastur's training is interesting. That consulting the charts was part of important decision-making is even more interesting. The Zoroastrian calendar does have a Zodiac.]
