Good morning, The question posed is not rhetorical. Further research has meanwhile shown for example that the zodiacal constellations of Scorpius and Pisces extend south respectively north about 25 degrees of ecliptic latitude, both in antiquity and today. Applying the equator analogically, maximum ...

Good afternoon, Assuming that Ms Dragonqueen works with the 'Placidus' house system both for topical analyses and to determine the relative tendency of each planet to be active, and ignoring other items (not usually recommended), transiting Ar?s is in a cadent place thus tending toward inactivity. W...

Good evening, Reference is made to a prior thread about "Traditional orb factors": http://www.skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=37195&highlight= For astrological purposes, the ecliptic is viewed not only as a line but as a band. How wide is this band? If one assumes the skies visi...

Good morning, May one recall that the ' Krishnamurti arc of precession' is part of the 'Krishnamurti School' that differs in several ways, not only regarding the equal-sign zodiac employed, from the various schools of 'traditional Indian astrology', ex. gr. by used of the system of houses usually na...

Good evening, Thanks to Mr Pskyman for bringing up antiscia and contra-antiscia, known and used in Hellenistic astrology, explained ex. gr. in Senator Julius Firmicus Maternus ' Mathesis .

Good morning, Alas, i reply to a personal attack, perhaps based on a misunderstanding. Indeed i volunteered for beta testing and actually did some, resulting for example in improvements in the display on high resolution Android smart telephones. Later i wrote to the developer by e-mail that i had te...

Good evening, There are several astrological rectification computer programmes that apply various methods, often with a choice, some of them much less costly than the one mentioned. All are based on one or more sets of not yet validated assumptions. With a frequent key of 1 degree of right ascension...

Good morning, As for example Dr. med. Rumen Kolev has demonstrated in his astrological books, one can consider the various methods discussed in this thread as time fractals . 4 minutes (average) -> 1 degree; 24 minutes (average) -> 1/60th, 1 confine; 40 minutes -> 1/36th, 1 decan; 120 minutes (avera...

Good morning, All of the methods of astrological birth time rectification i have seen to date are excellent examples of what is called 'circular reasoning'. Calculations are made according to a set of assumptions. The results are integrated into the framework of the same set of assumptions. The assu...

Good afternoon, Although the formulae considered to be of primary importance in contemporary mathematical statistics were developed from the 18th CE century onwards, nevertheless the compilation of statistics and use of statistical methods date from antiquity, as the following quotation from Wikiped...

Good day, In judicial astrology, Klaudios Ptolemaios considered the MC to take precedence compared to the Ascendant (see Tetrabiblos Book II) in matters concerning countries and their rulers. This makes astronomical sense as the MC indicates culmination, the greatest visibility. One might well disti...

Good day Ms Iris,

Without wishing to impinge on anyone's privacy, may i request that you confirm that the asker and the astrologer (your good self) were two different persons in the case presented?

Thanks and best regards,
