I can?t see any situation where such a planet [Jupiter well-placed in re to 1R in 7th] would describe an enemy. In fact, if it did correspond with the presence of a supposed enemy, I would say that the enemy turns out to be honourable and helpful. The presence of a malefic planet in the 7th, or the...

I appreciate your thoughts, Eddy, and the thoughts of others who?ve commented here, and the time and effort it takes to think about these things. It was your questioning viewpoint that made me wonder how the argument I made would fit for you. It?s been valuable to me to state my thoughts here and to...

Although other factors in a chart can make that the dangerous effect is mitigated, a big number of violent death charts should show a more than average number of these Mars positions. Thanks for your thoughts, Eddy. This approach to statistical tests of astrology is the one Eysenck & Nias assum...

It would appear that 'astrology' here is being limited to the kind of astrology that deals with individuals (person-centred astrology or whatever you want to call it). I agree this kind of astrology doesn't lend itself at all to statistical testing, being far too vague with too many variables. Hi, ...

There may be quite a few researcher who tested astrology with only a cookbook at their disposal, however people like Geoffrey Dean and Rudolf Smit were professional astrologers with clients, before they quit astrology. Arthur Mather was an amateur astrologer. Hi, Eddie, I just reread all the posts ...

Thanks for your thoughts, Steven. With regards to Morin, I have to be honest and say that on some points I agree (because he in fact is only re-iterating what many of the ancients had to say) on others I do not (his throwing out important considerations such as term rulers and changing the triplicit...

Thanks, Steven, for your very thoughtful post. I'm going to interlineate some thoughts. (Your thoughts are too interesting, and my reply is long, but I want to address your points and explain mine.) Statistical tests study the meaning of undetermined universal significators and usually find that uni...

I?m going to get back on my hobby horse. Statistical tests study the meaning of undetermined universal significators and usually find that universal significators are meaningless. Those studies tend to confirm Morin?s theory of determination. This theory of Morin's is a very fine one that can be see...

Statistics, in the way it is being discussed here, is essentially inference based baysian probabilities. The key assumption of such statsitics is that a sample tends to be representative of a population in a certain mathematical manner. That I think everyone gets. The key to the statistical theory ...

Hi Penny, For example, Coakley?s philosophy is strong and strongly stated. It sounds like she holds highly controversial positions and advertises them as her identity. In Massachusetts, Ms Coakley's positions are no more controversial than the Boston Red Sox. Leftists love to portray themselves tha...

I wasn't looking for a campaign statement for Martha Coakley either {She favors equal rights for everyone? Her opponent does not? Even if that's correct, it isn't relevant). I was looking for an astrological analysis of her chances of being upset in a very safe state. Upsets make the case for predi...

[No rating available. The source is private. Tom[/color] Hi, Tom and All, When you say private source for the birth time, Tom, do you know whether the private source got it from a birth certificate? Here's a timeline for Martha Coakley, with no guarantees for complete accuracy. It's from just a few...
