Bogdan, these are very good descriptions of planets and signs. I especially liked about your description of Leo. The Sun seems to have a strong connection to heroism and adventures, and your Campbell reference is spot on. The Moon (and Cancer) in turn would seem to denote "phlegmatic" publ...

Why did you test National Socialists as a category, and what is the significance of National Socialists that would stand out as being possibly Scorpio type, out of all of the political movements in the world from any place or time? You do realize that one had to be a National Socialist to retain a ... Forum: Sidereal Astrology Topic: Sidereal Signs Replies: 83 Views: 42395 Tue Nov 19, 2013 2:26 pm Jump to post
Hi Papretis, Is your right hand column the p-values? P-value generally means the odds that a given finding is due to chance as opposed to a true correlation (this can be verbalized a myriad of ways but this is generally what it means). In general, findings with p-values > 0.05 are not considered st... Forum: Sidereal Astrology Topic: Sidereal Signs Replies: 83 Views: 42395 Tue Nov 19, 2013 2:07 pm Jump to post
Varuna2, thank you for you comment. I had forgot that I've actually seen similar interpretations at some point. But as you wrote, "the planets are portrayed as functioning differently depending on which nakshatra, or in the example given which nakshatra pada, they are in". So, actually we ...

Hi Bogdan, Therese and others, an interesting discussion about the nature of the sidereal signs - an eternal topic, it seems. In the last months I?ve been doing these statistical studies where I?ve taken a lot of different groups from the now defunct AstroDatabank software and studied all kinds of t...

Hello Larxene, sorry that I haven't answered this earlier, but I haven't been very active on the forum lately. Yes, you have understood correctly the numbers in the study. I got the expected values by letting Jigsaw generate about 48,600 "horoscopes" from randomly invented times and corres...

I believe that Papretis has been totaling ascendant signs in her research rather than the position of ascendant rulers. Papretis, please correct me if I'm wrong. Therese Hi Therese, No, in the article I'm not counting ascending signs as such, but the planetary rulers. The basic result of the study ...

The sidereal elements and the temperament This post was originally a reply to an earlier thread, but I was asked to make it as a new topic, so here it is. ---------------------------------------------- The question about sidereal elements is a fascinating one. One way to study them might be to look at the Ascending elements. Which kind of p...

Actually planets on the angles may not be so helpful because the ascendant represents the body, and we may not see much psychology in those planets. Planets on the angles also tend to represent circumstances in the life and only partially may represent a person's psychology. It would seem to bit ha...

The p value tells two things(if less than 0.05) 1. The difference between two groups are unlikely to be due to chance and hence real difference. 2.If more than 0.05 then there is no difference between the two groups. As far as I can understand, if the value is more than 0.05 then the difference cou...

Just a quick note with a smile - this horary anecdote from Krishnamurti sounds a bit spooky.

It's also premature to provide "distinctive planetary profiles" for each zodiacal sign based on rulership. We know that planets have many different forms of expression, and if a hundred people who have Aries rising were analyzed as to their psychology, each person would be different, or a...
