I just started working through Valens, and have quite a way to go before I can talk about ZR etc in any useful fashion.

Still, the offer is appreciated, and when I've mastered ZR, I'll get in touch.

Cheers,

Very kind of you to provide the link (and a very instructive discussion too)!

I'll search for the Patton thread. (Still new to the forum, not sure what goes where, I generally use Google to search within) Your positive experience is very encouraging, and in my limited experience, seems to be part of a pattern where classical/medieval techniques (solar/lunar returns) work bett...

My usual predictive method is Solar and Lunar return charts, which work well for me. After hearing an astrologer I respect wax eloquent about Zodiacal Release, I looked into it. The technique seems simple enough (If slightly tedious to hand calculate). I was wondering if anyone uses this (or other *...

First,I am strictly an amateur astrologer and *not* an expert in any sense of the word! So please take everything below with appropriate doses of salt! I'm just starting to learn horary and while *learning* I use Regiomontanus and Tropical Zodiac to analyze the textbook examples, because that is wha...

Thank You. I don't intend to translate zodiacs when reading books by authors who use a specific zodiac. I intend to take the chart as given and learn the technique. So for Lilly, this would be Tropical + Regiomontanus, for Mashallah, Whole House signs, and so on. All good. Once I have a basic grip o...

It will take a while to get here (shipping to India is time consuming) but it looks like a great book. (thanks Konrad!)

Konrad "On reception" . Got it. Trying to source now. Therese, I use Fagan Bradley because it gives me *excellent* results with respect to timing events with solar and lunar returns, and (with Placidus houses) in analyzing natal charts. I am *not* a professional astrologer, and have limite...

I was thinking of reading *Lilly* and using his techniques (not the Arab material, which is a bit harder, even with Ben Dykes, translated books, at least to me. Lilly's english is archaic but much easier)

hmm so maybe I should wait till I level up enough to read Abu Masha'ar etc.

I use Sidereal charts (Fagan Bradley) for my natal and event analyses. (Solar/Lunar returns etc) and I'm quite satisfied with the results. Now I'd like to learn horary, but all the books recommended to me (Lilly, Frawley etc) seem to use the Tropical Zodiac. So my option are (a) either use these boo...

I read Eshelman's, Fagan's etc books, but many things were unclear. Working through the first two pages of this thread, recreating all the charts, taught me how this system works!

Good Work! Thanks!
