70th Bonatti's Consideration 1 by astrojin Hello, Does anyone have any comments or experience with the 70th consideration of Bonatti's 146 Considerations? Thank you. The 70th Consideration is, To mind another secret; not well searched into by Astrologers, but often times doing them much prejudice; that is, see in all Questions, etc., whether the Lord of the New or Full Moon, preventional last before, be in any of the Angles of the thing enquired after; if it be, it denotes that the business will be accomplished, unless it be the Querent?s own fault (or that God overrule against it), though perhaps by other significations it seemed not likely. But if it shall not happen so but only the same is in the Ascendant; and the other significators that is, The Lord of the Ascendant of the thing enquired of and the Moon, or any of them assist, the thing well be done with ease. If it be in Cadent Houses, it will scarce ever be, though other significators seem never so favourable; and if two at least of them be not so, take it for certain it will never be done.

Reply 2 by Steve Hi astrojin, I am not sure if this helps or applies to your query pertaining to Bonatti's 146 Considerations with Traditional Astrology, but Donald Bradley did a ton of research with angular, succedent, and cadent positions for scope maps. He came to a conclusion that the ?strongest areas are not the twelfths of the circle clockwise from each angle (i.e., the angular houses), but instead the twelfths of a circle straddling the angles. Likewise, the weakest areas of the chart are the sections straddling the cadent cusps, not the cadent houses themselves.? Bradley?s ?straddling? conclusions differ some from the traditional view of the houses themselves but still emphasize the weakness of cadent positions and stength of angular positions. Regards, Steve With all our modern knowledge and scientific equipment, and with the the great strides made in mathematics, we astrologers have done nothing to even remotely compare with the achievements of the astrologers of antiquity.
