Hi Jakob, Practically speaking: I have been using the Big Three (signs of ascendant, sun and moon) in looking into the characters of natives with certain degree of success but I find it very difficult to do it the other way round. Let me clarify what I mean with this: 1. At one point in my life, I w...

Ouranus: The normalization of 'opinions' as truths has nothing to do with Truth. Opinions are not concerned to prove anything. In fact, they prove nothing. Yet, opinions can be proven. I love this!!! I have sort of completed writing lecture notes on Logic and Mantiq (just a fancy arabic term for isl...

Every movement depends on a reference and where this reference point is set one can choose according to his or her pleasure. Of course! But only for some information. Not all information can be obtained through relative referencing... Some things are absolute e.g. my clients want absolute answers t...

James, i spent some time on that video you shared.. i didn't find it enlightening either... i find astrologers are very good at rationalizing their use of a particular technique in some sort of circular logic type way, but ultimately i am unconvinced... well, that is how i felt watching a good chunk...

Hello...yet again James... Forgot to include some links that might be useful? Have you seen the discussion on terms in Kepler College on youtube - uploaded about 2 weeks ago?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrSpAF1WXz0 ehhh... I didn't find it enlightening... though I must admit I was just skimming...

Hi James perhaps it is another example of my own crisis in faith over astrology, although i do believe there is much to be gained from astrology, this corner of astrology is so deep in the past, It seems my last post might have come across as me staunchly defending the esoteric terms/bounds/confines...

Hi James..., Speaking of bounds, when are you coming the bounds (beaches) of Malaysia...??? Hehe what is the basis for them and why do they have 3 different kinds? Because they have three different names...??? [terms, bounds, confines]...hahahaha Seriously though, this is one of those things in astr...

*(I expect this should properly read 'houses' in the plural, that is, cusps.)

Yes. it does read "its houses" in Arabic (بيوتها).

Astrojin: Read and reread your reply. Quite interesting. Hello, yet again. 1. The definition of dominant vs subdominant vs subordinate signs. Where it is from? Wasn't able to find it in Demetra George's summary, neither have I noticed it in other sources. The meanings come from (sort of) different ...

Hello Dima, You seemed to be asking all the questions that I asked myself some time ago and I prepared some notes for my students then that I shall share here...hopefully it is of use and interest to others... There was a time that I wanted to find the rationale of the meanings associated with the B...

Hi Dima:

Question:
How can we know for sure that the house positions of planets in the thema mundi by domicile and exaltation are meant to be illustrative, in terms of affinities between those planets and houses?

Jane has beaten me in responding. I could not have done better...!

Hello, Always been a bit on the fence about the thema mundi. Same here... always good to question the principles by which aphorisms are derived and outcomes are reached. Example: Both Jupiter and Venus are benefics (aphorism). So, when Jupiter as ruler of 2nd house (finance/wealth) is in trine to as...
