concerning the first question According to Sahl, if two houses have the same ruler, their meanings will be tightly connected if the planet is received. Otherwise, the connection will be mild. Example: Jupiter for Pisces Ascendant: It rules both the 1st and 10th, which doesnt mean the person will be successful. However, if Jupite...

Now let's say a native has ascendant in 15 degrees Leo and Sun in 17 degrees Leo. His sun is angular using both whole sign house system and quadrant house system. He has the potential to be succesful (sun in the first house according to whole sign house system) and also pushed into manifesting his ...

I think we must address to house cusps as we are adressing on lots. After all, aren't they all based on the horizon? The vast majority of the lots are cast from the ascendant. One thing, however, is to discuss intermediate house-cusp significance; another is the "free will versus fate" dis...

Give the wealth of cusp-based house systems I would be more cautious about asserting that cusps are beyond doubt effective. It is not a rare ocurrence to find most of the cusps of different quadrant systems in approximate degrees. If we stick to the concept of orb, that assumption would not be a ch...

my main concern in whole sign houses is in the problem of the absence of intermediate cusps in each sign. There is a way to solve this using lots but the experience shows that house cusps are as sensitive as lots. Otherwise, this is a very a straightfoward system. Other concern of mine is the innume...

I also want to put my own opinion. When studying charts, I discovered that, when there is al-ittsal with reception, the things promised by the swift planet only happen in the planetary period of the more ponderous planet, but when al-ittsal occurs without reception, the things promised by the more s...

Commiting of disposition: without reception or not? hello friends. I am struggling with this doubt. Mashallah's and Sahl's teachings does seem rather clear, although there is a gap. In Mashallah's On Reception, in every case when the moon applies to another planet, she commits her disposition regardless of a reception relationship , whereas in other ...

Does he have children? As far as I can see, there is only one possible indication of perhaps one child. The 5th is Aquarius giving few children and its ruler is in its fall but angular in a barren sign. There are no planets indicating children in the 11th or 10th and those indicating children, like...

Some authors had spread the idea that Horary should be learned first.
