The MC is the intersection of the local meridian and the ecliptic. Any point on the celestial sphere is at its highest altitude when it crosses the upper end of the local meridian. For objects close to the ecliptic, this is effectively the MC. The zenith is the point directly overhead, and is the in...

Just came across the following take on post-modernism by Irish astrologer Bill Sheeran: www.radical-astrology.com/articles/articles/philosophy/astpatpost5.html Traditional astrologers criticize modern astrologers for their playing fast-and-loose with astrology's time-honoured techniques. However, a... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Robert Hand and Post Modern Astrology Replies: 45 Views: 44572 Sun Oct 14, 2012 3:47 pm Jump to post

Well, perhaps I misunderstand my Derrida, but after deconstructing, one still cobbles together (likely multiple) "partial" ways forward that admit the whole truth cannot be revealed at once, but which can provide an analogy of stereoscopic vision.

In the way in which "post-modern" is normally used, I don't think there is really a post-modern astrology, either before or after ca. 1990. We would have to consider that all of the things astrologers say about people, based on their horoscopes, are the result of layers of astrologers' in...

Well, as an Aquarian, I can say that whatever the book preach, Saturn rules Aquarius. I don't think we really have a handle on the Outer Three yet, and it may take another hundred years before we do. All the hype about the "Uranian Aquarian" is nice, it sounds good, but it simply isn't tr...

Minor techie point. Traditionally, memory has indicated the relatively high speed memory storing temporary results of calculations. This seems pretty straight-up 3rd house. Storage (eg disks), on the other hand, has been used to designate relatively persistent data. That strikes me as pretty 4th hou...

Re: Born at night- no sense of right and wrong? What do those members born after sunset feel about that?

Martin Gansten's book on primary directions is probably considered the best one out there right now, so although I'm sure people have their own approaches that differ, I would still suggest getting this book to get to grips with primary directions and get a good gist of what it is and is not. http:...
