One medieval author, I do not recall if it is Sahl or Al-Biruni, does stipulate that on the advent of a Moon leaving a sign without aspect, you may look unto aspects made on the next sign. He does warn, though, that delays will happen even if the answer proves positive. I believe that every horary h...

Thanks for the answer Curtis. For some time I've been under the impression that I interpreted this notion of unmanagement badly, and in the end I was ready to accept that, if any star cast its rays on said house while in aspect with its domicile ruler, it would work similarly to a "translation&...

Ruler in aversion/inconjunct to own house. House unmanaged? Looking at this article ( http://www.azastrologers.org/Articles/noblehorsepr.pdf ) recently, a matter I'd given some thought to, for quite some time, came back again, and I'd like to ask about the experience of fellow astrologers in the community. The problem: according to the interpretation of mode... Forum: Traditional (& Ancient) Techniques Topic: Ruler in aversion/inconjunct to own house. House unmanaged?

I do not think that using WS invalidates using the orb doctrine. Furthermore, not every user of WS has a deep interest in the practice of an astrology closer to helenistic sources. Some just find WS more reasonable. I, for one, respect the arabic contribution, so much so, that my work resembles it a...

I'd say that some confusion steams from the fact that there is a qualitative dimension to the houses as well (Just like a planet, a house can be interpreted in terms of it's angular position and/or by it's essential meaning). The scheme of the houses goes from most particular (1st house) to most ali... Forum: Traditional (& Ancient) Techniques Topic: Essential Dignity-Qualitative or Quantitative?

If the dispositor of a planet is angular and aspects it (reception), I would argue that the disposing planet "lifts" the succedent or cadent planet, helping it express its vocation. The level of struggle will depend on the type of the aspect, of course. Also, that does not happen due to th...

Qualitative. I believe I've already defended this position before here in the forum, but this discussion is always interesting. All in all, Dignities, Joys and even Sect are, in my view, all matters of qualitative expression, and the only way to gauge strength for a planet is through it's angular po...

I'm not sure that from the logic one can infer to joys does follow that the opposite place (to the joy of a planet) would be one of sadness. If we take Venus, for example, it's place of joy being the 5th, we could say it is so because the 5th is among the joyous places she could be, the one she is m...

A distinct trait I noticed, in charts of people that are mentally unhealth, is a big unbalance in their humoral qualities. Either their charts are too dry, too wet, too hot or too cold. I have a cousin that fits that, being completely insane, and she does not have a single wet planet in her chart (n...

I would not have any idea of what makes a pilot, so I got a little bit pragmatic and looked into astro databank in order to see pilots and army members. From what I could see, what pilots tend to have in common is: Ruler of the ascendant in an air sign. MC in an air sign. And members from a militar ...

I'd go with chart number one, and would discard number 2 entirely. Number one has Mercury distancing himself from the Sun, both angular, receveing Venus by domicile in the 2nd house of income (WS). Also, in the other charts, Venus is cadent. I do not like a cadent Venus for artistic purposes... alth...
