Hi James, thank you for your warm welcome. Nice to be here again. Therese, I hope it would be a helpful read for you just as it is for me. Have you considered (With Riley's permission and cooperation) publishing your version in print? I would buy it. We really could use a print edition. I don’t thin...

Valens - Anthologies (New Edition of Riley's Translation) Hi all, With approval from Mr. Riley, I have made new edition of his translation. I have made few changes. First, I removed the references to the Critical Editions and put them in footnotes. Second, I replaced “< >??? with “[ ]???. For me, it is much cleaner that way. I also put colorful tables and ...

Hi all, nice discussions here! I have a free afternoon today, so I will ramble a bit on the issues that are discussed here. I want to add something to the discussion of Mercury in Pisces/Sagittarius, before I get to the discussion of mental illnesses. [I am currently experimenting with Hellenistic a...

As a post-factum , I would like to add something which I find interesting concerning this chart, looking at it now after we know his full biography. Not only that Mars is angular, in good zodiacal shape and makes an aspects, or looks upon the MC, but here with Jupiter he almost fulfills a so called ...

hi Ile, i am unfamiliar with john holland.. what is the name of the book he wrote on professions, or more generally? I like John Holland's 6 fold division of type of professions: Realistic (Mars?)

The challenge then is not so much to determine the two careers, although if anyone wishes to take a shot at it, do so. Rather it is to find things in the chart that might demonstrate a level of success in two unrelated areas. Why I am not surprised to see the Moon involved in people who have change...

James, here is my difficulty with your jupiter direct/retro in the 2 charts given above. if one is going to isolate one factor - retrograde planet, verses direct planet, adding an additional consideration -sect, is no longer considering only the jupiter direct/retro in the same area of the chart - p...

Mark, let me first tell you that it is very nice to argument with you on any topic of astrology. I appreciate your in depth answers and the tone of discussion.

James, In Astrology and especially in astrological analysis there always can be "If", "but", "what if", "if this is so" et cetera. If we take Venus in consideration, then we should take Part of Marriage into consideration too and its Lord; then we should take ...

Hello and welcome! Hardly would anyone tell you anything without seeing your natal chart. If you don't mind post it so we can give our judgment on the question. Are you asking for a look into your chart or you are asking for suggestion for astrological techniques in order to look for your self?

OK, I think I have a nice example which explains the sect and retrograde difference. Because the subject is a tricky one, I will not expose the whole charts, but only the fragment of which we are talking about. These are two charts of two young ladies who have Jupiter in 7th in dignity. Lady 1: http...
