Missing Points, pt 2 Part II Here we reach the problem of originalism and its fallacy: The procedure of taking, e.g., what Ptolemy said, and arguing from its originality to its merit or usefulness. This is an issue in some religions and some occultists. There is concentrated focus on What do the ancient mss say? That is...

Missing Points in the WS debate. Facts => Values? Part I I have read dozens of fine, informed posts about the use and prevalence of whole signs in horoscope charting in the Hellenistic period. To be noted especially are those of scholars such as Dr. Gansten. I’ve heard the spirited lecture of Ms Houlding where she proposed, significantly, that ther...

Thanks I've had a look at your new formatting and work. It's so clear! Thanks so much! Forum: Traditional (& Ancient) Techniques Topic: Reformatted Valens, Riley text Replies: 30 Views: 16120 Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:33 am Jump to post
PPS to my post above Feb 27. I argued that the rough and ready approximations using signs only (as found generally in VV) are not a good basis for determining what house system V Valens used. In particular I argued that good evidence for a CHOICE of the WS system (as opposed to its use for rough and ready chart consultations wh...

Post script. As to my specification of a best chart supporting WS use, see in the Question: Survey thread, Paul's 6th post on Neugebauer's chart 95.

Hi Deb, I liked your lecture in general, esp. its point about existence of whole sign charts. From Neugebauer and others, the remains are mostly simply lists of planets by (degree, sometimes, and) sign, *sometimes* with ascending degree noted. Perhaps where the ascendant was noted, there was a 'coun...

3-d houses http://www.astrolog.org/astrolog/pic/houses2.gif there are four "3D Equal systems", in which all houses are equal sized 30 degree wedges of the celestial sphere. They are: (1) Any classic Equal system with 2D Ecliptic model. (2) Campanus combined with 3D Prime Vertical model. (3) Horizon ...

Keep in mind that logs, antilogs, etc are built into common calculators, and logs of trig functions are built into 10 dollar scientific calculators. Keep in mind that the base 10 log of any number less than 1 (and greater than O) is going to be negative. I guess you're on a historical quest? Sort of...

logs Nobody uses log tables for motion anymore. I think you're confusing a negative logarithm, which exists, with the log of a negative number, which does not. If it's the former, then you simple add it (as negative) to the other logs involved (this is de facto division). IF you had a problem like 666 x ...
