But I'd say the commercial equivalent of 'drawing breath' is when its first shareholder has committed money to the company. The taxman would not agree. A business that has not 'traded' is considered moribund by the taxman. When a shareholder puts money into a business then that is considered an inv...

This is a topic that I have been trying to pursue on this forum and you may want to look back at those discussions. It is best to try an elect a suitable time for 'starting' the business and there are a number of good texts on election astrology - but that brings us to the question, "When does ...

This discrepancy has nothing to do with the Julian v. Gregorian calendars. Well, it does I think. When Julius Ceasar brought in his calendar in 46 BC, the start of the year was at the right place. But by 1582 when Pope Gregory brought in his reforms to the calendar, the error in the Julian calendar...

This looks like a good paper on the founding of Baghdad. http://archnet.org/publications/3097 It would appear that the timing is not based on elective astrological principles - as least, not as we would recognise them. More on esoteric metaphysical principles to fix Baghdad sympathetically in the sy...

I was using the Astrodienst chart to get 4th August Gregorian (25th July Julian) for those planetary positions. Is there a known problem with Astrodienst for these dates? I know it uses the 'Swiss Ephemeris' which is supposed to be the gold standard on these matters.... 30th July using Astrodienst p...

The date cited for the Holden chart is 31 July 762. Is this Julian or Gregorian? If it is Gregorian, then the planets are not in those positions until 4th August 762. If it is Julian, then it was the 25th of July that the planets are in those positions. Other sources give 30th July at the founding d...

The chart for the founding of Baghdad has always been a mystery. In electional astrology, the first thing you do is try to get the Moon well placed. Yet in this chart, the Moon is Via Combusta (the worst of the Moon's impediments according to Sahl) and is on the Bendings, that is square the Moon's N...

A few weeks back I attended "Lilly Day" at St Mary's church in Walton-on-Thames, where William Lilly was a church warden and where he is buried. Geoffrey Cornelius gave the lecture, but I had learned that he had a timing for the founding of Islamic State and so approached him after his tal...

?Geoffrey: I hope to fish something with this can of worms :-) Are there answers to the questions you have put (as these are questions I ask myself as well) I think that we can put Robert Hand's comments in a more quantitative form by looking at the definitions of 'twilight'. Once again, there is m...

This can become a can of worms if you are not careful: On horizons, there is more than one definition of 'horizon'. Here are some of them: Visible Horizon: The junction between the sky and the land (or sea) Celestial horizon: The plane that passes through the centre of the earth normal to (at right ...
