Its not exactly just idle intellectual curiosity for me. I am planning to give a talk on this subject and hoping to get to the root of the modern interpretations of the nodes. I have plenty of material for ancient, medieval and Indian astrology but I am much less clear about how some of the modern ...

[/quote] I mentioned profections at the start of this thread, but not the current one; the one of 2016 which is a 10th house profection year. Of course other techniques such as PD's, Decennials, etc, but I haven't had time to post.[/quote] So you did. And you were talking about 2016 whereas I was lo...

Is it enough to look at ZR by themselves, or should you always look at other techniques too? If so, the next question would be which ones? I myself am very fond of profections and in this case at least this method tells the story well I think. Romneys profected ASC moved into Capricorn on his last b...

Austin Coppock recently published a very interesting book on the decans called "36 Faces" in which he writes about the history of the decans and in which he also has delineations of the traditional planets in the different decans.

Sometimes, none of the characteristic 12th house significations occur, especially when the planets ruling the place are well-placed and helped by benefics in the solar revolution, and the other time lords show a positive period. But when the time lords are ill-placed or even simply weakened, the li...

I only vaguely remember the distinction between the houses of travel. The 12th signifies perilous journeys where there is a possibility of dying or receiving life-threatening injuries. The 6th signifies a similarly dangerous journey, but one that at most leads to injuries that are not life-threaten...

It is unsurprising, actually. If you read the article "Facets of Fate" by Robert Schmidt, you'll see that he mentioned at least four houses (iirc) in connection with foreign travel: 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th. Thank you, Larxene. Now that you mention it I remember having read that too. It doe...

Actually, the 7th is treated as the destination of foreign travel in al-Kindi and Hephaistion of Thebes, both of whom would have gotten it from Dorotheus (Carmen V.21), so you are in good company in seeing it in a chart! The idea is that the Ascendant represents home, while the 7th is as far away a...

I hope you do not mind my hairsplitting but I have at least 3 (natal) charts in the archives with the Sun very near to the Ascendant (not 12 degrees as above but 1-2) but still below it and trying to learn and apply traditional astrology I think it is actually important (considering not only the Su...

If the Sun is above the ASC (the Sun in earlier degrees than the ASC) the chart, and the Firdaria, is diurnal. If the Sun is below the ASC (the Sun in later degrees) the chart and the Firdaria is nocturnal. This is regardless of the house system you use. ea Forum: Traditional (& Ancient) Techniques Topic: firdaria, WSH Replies: 4 Views: 3796 Fri Aug 09, 2013 12:28 pm Jump to post
