Placidus house cusps can suggest more accuracy than is actually the case for a horoscope if the birth time is an estimate. Also, the problem of really skewed charts when casting horoscopes at high latitudes persists. Regiomontanus is traditionally used by many horary astrologers. Otherwise, Placidus...

I think your situation looks favorable. Your significator (moon) is in a nice partile sextile to Venus, and is about to hit your MC. Its ruler Jupiter is in your 10th career house, in its own triplicity and terms. A practical consideration is that even if someone else gets the position, you will hav...

Astrodienst to close its forum Alois Triendl recently made this announcement. https://forum.astro.com/cgi/forum.cgi?num=1671555969/0 I would encourage anyone who actively participates on that forum, or who knows of an alternative institutional affiliation, to make your ideas known.

Astrology was practiced without signs by the Babylonians until about 500 BCE. Before then, they looked at constellations, asterisms, and fixed stars. Using their base-60 arithmetic system, they invented signs to make it easier to predict eclipses. One thing I find a bit problematic about signs, is t...

Certainly there are many possible ways to divide up a 360-degree circle. Which is a historical artefact. who says 360 degrees are inherently more meaningful than some other division, like a base-10 division into 100 segments? Basically astrology follows the ancient Mesopotamian sexagesimal base-60 a... Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: Astrology with no Zodiac Signs?

I have natal Mars opposite Saturn. Definitely a tendency to a see-saw effect. But at some point I figured out that athletic activity is actually a good way to correlate the two. Mars rules athletes. Saturn rules self-discipline and hard work. A good athlete, notably in a team sport, needs massive am...

James, part of my preferring the 9:30/9:35 birth time was looking at transits for key events in Russia's 2014 invasions of Crimea and the Donbas region. Normally I am not a big fan of pegging rising signs to physical appearance, but tell me if these photos of a young Putin look more Libra, Scorpio, ...

Bill Sheeran, of the radical astrology website? If so, is that site still active? I am a big fan of your linked charts, better to explain the unfolding of mundane events. James, I personally support the Oct. 7, 1952 birth date and 9:30/9:35 ToB. I've worked with that chart a fair bit and think it's ...

Is Putins chart the real deal? I notice some astrologers believe that we cannot use Putins chart as he is a double, a look a like has taken his place. It seems to be an accurate representation to me with Pluto on the MC & Scorpio rising. The Jupiter Saturn conjunction of 2000 was on his jupiter...

Thanks, Alex. Sticking to close conjunctions on the Ukraine invasion chart linked above, I didn't get any hits for those two astro-baddies. So I took another tack. It troubles me greatly that asteroid Nike (307) named after the Greek goddess of victory, sits right on the invasion chart's ascendant a...

Really interesting Michael, especially in connection with the asteroid thread currently running. In terms of mythology, that is how astrology originated. It didn't come out of science. It initially came out of beliefs that the planets were gods; and subsequently, that planets were under the tutelage...
