jorge, is your intent to take geoffs position on astrology in a similar manner - "Geoffrey Dean claimed that in the world of Astrology anything goes" or are you formulating your own view independent of his? i am curious.. You know what they mean. Wre resort to chart complexity when isolat...

Im not British but am an Empiricist. I suggest testing claims rather than wonderful philosophical lectures on grandiose ideas :lala You say this, but what does this mean? In what sense are you an empiricist and to what level have you tested the claims? Be they of sidereal astrology or tropical astr...

http://www.astrology-and-science.com/a-murd2.htm a good example of how astrologers misjudged Gacys chart.They ignored angular planets. What beats me is that people identified with Marcel Petiot s chart. The guy had Scorpio rising and Mars conjunct Pluto in 8. WSH would show it more clearly with Mars...

Thank you. Now - How does your " R Hand told me that I must use all those Arabic parts " [with my added emphasis] match factually with " he began to talk about the lot of the brothers for all them "? That sounds pretty mild to me. Talking about one pertinent part or lot doesn't ...

Paul wrote: An interesting approach. What degree of empiricism do you demand of yourself? For example do you maintain that Aries is a fire sign ruled by Mars. If so what empirical data demonstrates that Aries isn't a wood sign or a water sign, and why Mars and not Ceres is empirically the ruler? To...

Amavasya tithi (new moon) is a shrapa which is supposed to be remedied through rituals by the parents at the birth.

Re: Messi and Mars Hi all, In charts of football players, we assume a dignified Mars. But are we right? Players like Messi, Platini or Van Basten have superb technical skills and they express beauty in the way they play(ed). To me, that sounds more like Mercury or Venus. I looked at the placement by sign of 11 famous... Forum: Traditional (& Ancient) Techniques Topic: Messi and Mars Replies: 65 Views: 31201 Wed May 09, 2012 6:49 pm Jump to post
