The context makes it clear. In the example immediately preceding, Morin explains what he means by 'accidentally' by describing his own chart with Mars in the quadrant 3rd house near the IC (transl. Holden): I love that someone understood the same from that chapter. The chapter is about Ptolemy's 5 ...

Re: Planet temperament accord. to Lilly (vs. typical)

I know it has to do with the phase of the planet (occidental vs oriental / morning vs evening star) but I haven't went down the rabbit hole fully to understand the logic behind it. Thanks. Lilly's calculation derives from Ptolemy's chapter 11 in the Book III of Quadripartite. https://penelope.uchic...

Happy you liked my blog post. They are not "Sabian symbols", they are not channelled, but they are the images of some fixed stars, rising, culminating or at the other angles, but yes they were used in order to rectify nativities. Engels published Abano's Medieval degrees, and they mostly c...

Hello Waywird Thanks to Margherita for the post about Morinus setup. I've been reading 'The Cycle of the Year' by Charles Obert and he has a page or two on setting up Morinus for primary directions, but makes no mention of choosing a directions key under PRIMARY KEYS or setting the PD-in-chart dialo...

Just for the record: Ptolemy is the source of this division of the zodiac (even if he's not the originator of the theory); he doesn't use the expression hairesis here; Hephaestio doesn't lift this precept even though he copies or summarizes much of Ptolemy's Apotelesmatics ; and the sporadic assign...

This goes back to my original point, which is that even though the later tradition ended up following Ptolemy in treating sect and gender as connected or equivalent, there was some sort of competing tradition for assigning sect to the signs in the early Hellenistic tradition that may have seen them...

It is in book 1, chapter 1 of Hephaistio, where he outlines the significations of the signs of the zodiac. Hand has a footnote about it in Schmidt's translation on page 3, where they are initially perplexed about why Hephaistio says that Aries is nocturnal, and then he speculates that it may have b...

Yes, but did Hephaistio and/or Ptolemy actually use the term hairesis in this context? Ptolemy obviously not. He is talking about domiciles. About Hephaistio, about whom Schmidt says it is a paraphrase of Tetrabiblos with excerpts from Dorotheus (page viii of Hephaistio first book, Hindsight editio...

Most of the later astrologers just follow Ptolemy and make the masculine signs diurnal and the feminine nocturnal, but there is at least one author, Hephaistio I think, who divides the signs into two hemispheres between Cancer and Leo and then assigns sect to the signs that way based on the domcile...

margherita, i need to study the swearing in chart more to make a prediction on the fate of this particular gov't speaking broadly.. Not sure that the swearing-in ceremony is a great chart. Sun, natural ruler of Dignity in the 8th, Moon ruler of the 10th in his detriment. I don't believe Conte's gov...
