As said before the Sun is an indicator for success and honors, especially because situated in its own domicile. But what about its placement in the cadent 12th house/sign which is in aversion to the ASC. Mercury is in aversion to the ASC too. Sun is also the ruler of the 12th house and it is said th...

Thank you all for your interesting and helpful responses :) . Hi Goran, As always in astrology, everything depends upon the context within which we are working and nothing is only black or white - there are many shades of grey which have to be taken into account if we desire to delineate a certain e...

Is it really that bad?

Hello all, generally a planet in his fall or in his detriment is considered to be weak, malefic or at least in some way corrupted. When we see a Mercury in his detriment in Sagittarius, we normally expect some problems or trouble with his expression. Now, what I find interesting but at the same time...

I first came across the 3 degree idea here. I'm asking myself if it was possibly Steven who mentioned it a few months ago. I later came across an old source that gave it. Was it Ibn Ezra or Bonatti? You can find something about this 3 dgree idea in Sahl (Judgment 15), in Bonatti (The 30th Considera...

Hello all, I would like to tie in with Margherits`s post and cite Sahl from the Ben Dykes translation (Sahl, Introduction, ? 5.3, p. 16): ?So then if a planet observed [another] planet and it was struck by its light on its degree, then it is connected with it; and if it was not struck by its light, ...

Thank you Estebon and Paulo for your ideas. Maybe it`s really about orbs, so that in fact the Planet has just left a house and entered the preceding one - and it is due to its orb that we still delineate it in the house it has been before (as a result of it`s primary motion): e.g. Mercury is 3? befo...
