Re: Some questions on Sidereal Astrology when we focus so much purely on mechanics of calculation, we lose perspective on the ethos of the sidereal zodiac itself, which is really more to do with defining significance from the constellations which roughly overlap the signs of the same name. What you call "mechanics of calculation"... Forum: Sidereal Astrology Topic: Some questions on Sidereal Astrology Replies: 22 Views: 16885 Tue Apr 28, 2015 2:59 pm Jump to post
Re: Some questions on Sidereal Astrology What isn't the sidereal claim is that in order to be a sidereal astrologer, one most posit all frames of reference of either divisions of time or of space from a fixed star. That's fine when the "sidereal" label is defined in terms of traditional practice. It doesn't change the fact that ...

I'm afraid you're muddying the waters here.... Astrologers have reckoned days from sunrise to sunrise since long before the tropical zodiac became popular; the two issues are not related. Sidereal astrology is not about disregarding natural astronomical cycles. Since when the return of a fixed star...

Re: Some questions on Sidereal Astrology In other words, could we say that sidereal astrology, in a practical point of view (which is what matters to the computer, zeros and ones), is the same as tropical astrology + offset of signs? Or there are more practical differences? Because of the shift caused by precession, the timing of events (...

Juan, if you are able to get the Moon at 19.10 Libra without losing the Sagittarius ascendant and the quadrant placement of the Sun, please provide the data as I'd be very interested - this is something I have spent some time checking already. In previous emails I had not made the actual chart, but... Forum: Sidereal Astrology Topic: Anthony Louis hypothesis about old electional chart.

I agree with Juan that its a redundant point once the details of the chart can be confirmed; however, it is relevant if there is a need to judge between arguments of corresponding positions on 30th or 31st, according to different zodiacs. Since the differences between zodiacs in this case are less ... Forum: Sidereal Astrology Topic: Anthony Louis hypothesis about old electional chart.

This has helped to generate abandonment of Al Biruni's positions with the assumption that his chart was dated seven days off what it should be (along with other implications that Al Biruni is not to be trusted). Almost all of Allawi's references to Al Biruni's reported chart are faulty, and have un... Forum: Sidereal Astrology Topic: Anthony Louis hypothesis about old electional chart.

I have a quick question I'd appreciate some feedback on. I'd like to ask some astrological software producers y gave the bibliographic to incorporate this ayanamsha in future software updates - which will make it a lot easier for traditional astrologers to recreate chart examples from Mahasallah an...

2. They are invisible to the naked eye. We only know of their existence due to a geostationary telescope. All of them have been discovered by means of ground-based telescopes. Invisible to the naked eye? This makes me wonder how the lunar nodes look to the naked eye, or the house cusps, or the sign...

My rectification, based on 30 events is 00.32.52 LMT (=22.55.04 UT) Asc 26Vir54'. Many thanks for the rectification and for posting the relevant data. It illustrates that rectification cannot be achieved by a single dynamical technique or a small number of events, and it gives us "peek" i...

Ok, this is not a blind test, but if you agree, posts here the events for your life and I will rectify the chart. I sincerely appreciate the offer, and think it would be foolish not to accept it. But out of my head I could only provide 6 dates from the category list mentioned (when I set out to do ...

At least 30-35 events, 90% of them should be with accurate dates This looks very straightforward and simple but the reality --at least from my perspective since I am not an event-oriented astrologer-- is that it is generally difficult finding or compiling such a list. On my part the Sibelius list w... Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: Topocentric Houses Replies: 86 Views: 45816 Fri May 03, 2013 9:18 am Jump to post
