I understand that but James immediately resorted to name calling. If he is a friend of Mark he could have helped him. I dont mean I dont trust Mark,we get along fine,but when someone has 100% hits where nobody had in a century one has to be a bit more demanding regarding rules to make sure,otherwis...

Damon, you may be forgetting that astrology pretty much died in the late 1600s. While we have a fairly decent idea at this point of how astrology works, we're still in the process of translating texts to discover what was lost. It's a tad premature to start tossing things from a 'tradition' that dat... Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: Full Moon effects Replies: 6 Views: 4276 Thu Jan 03, 2013 5:55 pm Jump to post
Mark, that's a wonderful analysis! One tiny quibble - Jupiter's not peregrine in Chart 5, at least not by most early authorities. Any planet holding triplicity in a natal chart regardless of sect - still holds triplicity. I've got some way too lengthy quotes from Valens, Dorotheus and Masha'allah he...

Ok, I'll go the reasoning route, even though I don't think I'm right here. Chart 5 is the closest fit For a military career that amounts to anything, I'd want to see a strong Mars/Jupiter connection - we've got that here (in 9) and in a few of the other charts as well. Moon on the ascendant tends to... Forum: Traditional (& Ancient) Techniques Topic: mystery chart exercise dec 23rd 2012 placidus Replies: 44 Views: 18814 Mon Dec 24, 2012 10:52 am Jump to post
Aries and Virgo are still in aversion - at 150 degrees, they can't see each other. Antiscial points are solstice points (sort of like midpoints, but...not ;) ). The signs for antiscial connection are as follows: Sag - Capricorn Scorpio - Aquarius Libra - Pisces Virgo - Aries Leo - Taurus Cancer - Ge...

Moon's besieged in this chart, which is another big red flag. Besiegement - last separating aspect from a malefic, next applying aspect to a malefic. It doesn't look like it'll end well.

As Ramesay said, if the birth time is unknown, the chart of the moment will do! I was doing a natal chart for a client, and she had Gemini rising, very early degree, and it was just - off - with everything. So I told her a good sneeze would've put her in late Taurus and that made a lot more sense go...

Within the time frame then, Sag is your only option. Both Aquarius and Capricorn rule one of the bad houses of either the bride or groom - you can't put the same house as the 6th, 8th, or 12th of their natal charts on the ascendant. Sag it is. But I would go with either very early or very late to ke... Forum: Horary & Electional Astrology Topic: Wedding Election Chart Replies: 18 Views: 12726 Fri Apr 08, 2011 9:50 pm Jump to post
I agree, but if you go with the Jupiter hour, then the conjunction will end up in 8 or 9 in just about any divisional system - Scorpio or Sag will be on the MC. Forum: Horary & Electional Astrology Topic: Wedding Election Chart Replies: 18 Views: 12726 Fri Apr 08, 2011 7:18 am Jump to post
Actually it's more because of essential debility. It's a bit of a lengthy passage, which is why I didn't type all of it out, but Lilly says Sun/Saturn in Leo would have the reverse effect because there the sun is strong and Saturn is weak.

Hi Mark - The sun/Saturn in Libra bringing honours is from Lilly's Merlinus Anglicus . Had to type it out, so please forgive the modern spellings. ......but Saturn in conjunction with the Sun in Libra upon the Midheaven in any person's geniture, assuredly produces honour to the native, by reason of ...

A couple of possibles: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj152/deevajust/mwedding.png This puts Alphecca on the MC, and more importantly, keeps the South Node well clear of the 7th house, Jupiter stays angular, and Sun joys in 9. But it's still a Saturn hour. Or perhaps http://i271.photobucket.com/...
