". . . To sum up, however, it should be stated, that nearness to the Sun is harmful to all planets. Certain astrologers, however, claim that Mars is favourable when setting, when he is overwhelmed by the rays of the Sun, for in being subservient to the Sun he loses his natural malefic qualitie...

...so maleficent planets coincide with the autumn and winter tropics, while beneficent planets with vernal and summer tropics, regardless of their heating and cooling power. It is still seasonal schematization. Or would you dispute that the Moon in Taurus with Sun in Aries was the Babylonian New Ye...

The argument that we should use them conveniently with an arbitrary frame of reference does not jive for me either, be it sidereal or common tropical. Can you expound on this, please? I've sent...

I’ve heard this theory before and I’m afraid it does not jive for me. What about the plethora of countries around the equator? Which zodiac would they use? I think you’d have a hard time convincing all the astrologers in the Southern Hemisphere to flip their zodiac. And where is the cut-off latitud...

I was born in Australia and so perhaps I, more than my northern hemisphere friends, am more aware of how describing the signs in terms of the seasons they occur only applies to a smaller fraction of the planet (once you include the equatorial areas). Australia does have seasons, and they are revers...
