Andrew, you have answered the source question (as to where Kolev's exaltation-star data can be found): Kolev's correspondence course. Dr. H wouldn't know about Kolev's conclusions if he hadn't taken the correspondence course. I was wondering if this exaltation-star information might be on the Intern...

Andrew H wrote: With all due respect, how are Prof. Ossendrijver's findings different from those of Rumen Kolev's previously published courses? As I understand it, Kolev had already presented similar conclusions in his research. Andrew, do we have a source for Rumen Kolev's work? Is it available on-...

AJ, you gave LOTS of help about Academia! Thank you. I'm sure the information you gave will be instructive to others as well.

Thank you, AJ. The paper is a lot more detailed and academic than I expected. I wasn't able to read it today, but will do so tomorrow. Is the Academia site worth joining? For years I've been getting notices that various people have mentioned my name, but I needed to join to "view my mentions.&q...

Thank you, Jane, but I didn't join Skyscript until 2011. (What kind of search did you do to get this 2007 post?) But that post was interesting...

Pope Leo XIV (Robert Francis Prevost), born September 14, 1955 in Chicago, IL is the new head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State. He was elected Pope in the 2025 Vatican City conclave on May 8, 2025. Probably every astrologer in the world who uses the sidereal zodiac will...

Ouranos wrote: Therese, From what you know, what do the lunar mansions say. Not something I am totally familiar with. Thanks for asking, Ouranos. In 2008 I wrote an article on how astrologers have viewed the mansions through the centuries up to the present day of massive innovation. This article is ...

Lunar Returns for Pope Francis In recent years I haven’t worked much with lunar returns, but I think I had decided that they mainly related to health. I took a renewed interest in these returns when I saw that Pope Francis’ death happened only hours before the date of a new lunar return. Which retu...

AJ wrote: Let me know if you need a more detailed discussion. Warning, it gets nerdy real fast. AJ, I'll pass on the nerdiness, and Martin has just answered my question about two different reference systems. So that's what we have: two different computation systems for primary directions which give ...

Thank you, AJ. Very helpful! Would these two methods bring similar periods for timing?
