I was wondering, if anyone know if Dorostheus use Porphyry house system or Whole sign? Because in Placidus, Equal house, Porphyry, it start at my 12 degrees Ascendant (unlike Whole sign), and my Lot of Fortune is in 3rd house. Which Dorotheus did say he want it to be in 1st, 10th or 11th. So 3rd hou...

With my Cancer Asc, it said Ruler is the Moon (obviously this not qualify Moon in 12th cannot send rays to 1st house Asc). Exaltation is Jupiter that would work, but Jupiter in his fall but in angular 7th house. Next is first Triplicity which is Venus, but Venus in 8th though, cannot send rays to 1s...

sorry accidently click post twice. eta

Personally I don't use the tropical zodiac, so the chart I would see would be different, but putting that to one side for now, I think most Greek- and Arabic-language authors would have agreed that in a chart such as the one given here, the Asc in Cancer would be hyleg/aphetes/epikratetor (the last...

Thank you Mrs. janegca, and Sir Martin. Mrs. janegca, If the term bound of my Asc (Venus in 8th) not qualify, then the ruler of my Asc (the Moon in 12th) also not qualify, because 12th house cannot see 1st house, that Moon cannot cast her rays to her 1st house Asc. The ruler of my Asc neglecting her...

But this is in Valens Anthology 3.1 book though Sir.

This is from Valens Anthology 3.1

I thought Valens was the oldest dated back to his work 2000 years ago. And later centuries other astrologers add stuff to their rules of finding the Predominator. Thank you Sir for answer my question. One last question Sir, since English is my third language so I want to make sure I understand this ...

I understand Sir. Thank you for explain it to me. I personally always prefer Vettius Valens over Dorotheus, because Velans is an actual astrologer. With Velans method, I do have a Predominator. As Valens said, if Sun and Moon are cadent, then to the "Degree" of the Ascendant or Midheaven. ...

I'm sorry I want to post this as it related to the thread topic, and just in case I misunderstood what the book said, as English is my third language, and I have Pisces Mercury, I don't even think that Gemini Moon can save me from that Pisces Mercury, lol. In Mrs. Demetra book, she said if you chose...

Personally I don't use the tropical zodiac Thank you Sir Gansten for your help, it is an honor to have a Moderator help read my chart to help me find the predominator. So thank you so so much. May I ask, since you said you don't use the tropical zodiac, so I'm guessing you mean by that is you prefe...

This is the problem of my chart, my Sun in 9th that should count if use Ptolemy. Other methods not count. My Moon in 12th so that automatic disqualify, ALL methods agreed to that as 12th house is the weakest and worst house. Plus the Aversion to 1st house. By that would default it to my Ascendant. B...

Btw, these are NOT Demetra words, she quote it from Dorotheus and Ptolemy. I haven't seen Demetra George's book, but if she says that Ptolemy allows the moon in the 3rd to be hyleg/aphetes, she is wrong. https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Ptolemy/Tetrabiblos/3B*.html#10 Regarding Do...
