Hi Flora I wrote something about that recently in this public Facebook post . Initially, I wanted feedback to help confirm the time, but if you read the thread you’ll see the real issue became how to ground this to a specific location. After getting quite a lot of varied feedback, I now lean towards...

Thanks for the notice here H, which is very appropriate and good to have. Many of us are familiar with the massive amount of deep research you have put into your rectifications of this chart - and the books you have written detailing your methods and justifications for that, so it is good to have th...

LOL sorry Martin - yes, I meant to say that Venus was rising in Pisces in conjunction with Jupiter, with ruled the Sag MC

I tried to find a record of the chart but I don't have it now, sorry - what I remember is Venus rising (in Pisces & ruling Sag MC); Moon in sextile near cusp of 11th (ruling cusp of 6th). Those are the only details that stick in my mind.

You might find Kim Farnell’s study of interest to this https://www.skyscript.co.uk/love.html I echo the caution about how subjective this can be, and how affected by different circumstances and social norms. Issues of debauchery and victimisation attach to this profession, but don’t necessarily defi...

I don’t know of any modern astrologer who is actively working with the Chaldean terms - these are quite separate from the Egyptian and Ptolemaic terms, since the latter are really variants of the same system, whereas the Chaldean terms are coming from a different set of logic, more dependent on trip...

Wonderful work Jane!

We can never predict death with certainty, nor its strong likelihood by one technique alone, but traditional authors would 'drill down' through solar and lunar returns too, as well as transits - these charts pretty much speak for themselves (for the lunar return, it seemed that the return that occur...

Ken I have no expertise in Indian astrology myself, and I don't know if this might be of relevance to your query, but the notion reminds me of the principle that Morinus labours on in his Cabal of the 12 Houses, which stresses the importance of seeing each house as part of a trinity, so what is comm...

it is interesting to me that this 'selective scrutiny' only happens when someone raises the topic of primary directions... what does this say about the idea of resurrecting the use of primary directions, if anything?? what does it say of the astrological observations made prior to my post? You don'...

James I have kept this forum online for over 20 years and know that as soon as the policies cease to matter, the whole thing will fold. So please don’t miss the point of my reminder that respect for the subject as a whole and courteous consideration of other members is a fundamental requirement of a...

What a profound and striking transit alignment at the time of the Pope's passing. With Venus joining 8th-ruler Saturn on the nodes, the phrase "may he rest in peace" comes to mind for a passing that must have come as a relief in the end. How fitting was the timing? He died just an hour or ...
