I have used Solar Returns since 1975, specifically precession-corrected S/R's. While I sometimes work in the Sidereal framework I most often use p.c. Tropical S/Rs and derived charts. I'll explain. Use of the natal chart is important, but one has to see the natal chart, for predictive purposes, as r...

"Western" Sidereal astrologers would want to work with Solar Return and their derived charts -- semi and quarterly S/Rs, PSSRS and SQs, as well as charts based on S/R Moon positions, applying progressed and transiting planets within those charts, be-wheel presentations, etc. Further, altho...

I had written a long reply last evening. Now I see that it did not "post." I'll try again this evening. Dave

In the August issue of ISAR's journal I had an article, "How Tropical Astrologers can Borrow and Use the Tools of Sidereal Astrologers." I had utilized precession-correction Tropical charts for that article demonstrating how the Tropical versions of PSSRs (Progressed Sidereal Solar Returns...

Comments on the Reconciliation of the Zodiacs If we are truly talking of astrology we have to recognize the difference between looking at the starry sky and constructing a model or horoscope depicting that sky. Permit me to expand the grammar of astrology offered by the article author. The astrolog...

I thought it would be appropriate to note the basis for predicting that the U.S. Supreme Court would make their decisions public on June 19, 2012 The Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act was passed on March 23, 2010 at 15h59m UT according to a photo date/time stamp taken as Obama signed th...

Everyone seems to be overlooking a key point The discussion of the interpretive value of Tropical and Sidereal signs needs to be the second part of a two part discussion. The first part of the discussion, in my opinion, needs to start with another topic, the topic of TIMING. Precession-corrected Tr...

June 19, 2012 is the date that I have predicted on which the U.S. Supreme Court will reveal its decision(s) concerting the health care act passed in 2010. The entire rational and charts supporting and leading up to this event date can be found on my blog site at www.ninthhouse.wordpress.com I use p...

Ray, I have also encountered the same attitudes of one set of zodiac adherents relative to the other zodiac adherents. Normally, I would expect someone to say, "What a shame, why can't they stop and listen to each other?" Unfortunately it is difficult to listen to the "other" sid...

This comment is for Paul This lengthy discussion is valuable and interesting but I have little to contribute except for one observation. The effectiveness of Sidereal or precession-corrected Solar Returns and various derived daily (in between) charts, based on angular contacts by natal, solar, tran...

PSSR Charts are daily charts based on the previous Solar Return (Sidereal or precession-corrected Tropical). The daily chart angles are progressed from the prior S/R at a rate which is close to 1.25 degrees per day (as a flat rate progression) and overlaid with the Equation of Time factor for the S...
