Some of us consider ingresses of certain stars into new (tropical) signs important modulations of celestial influence (relating mostly but not exclusively to mundane-and certain esoteric- considerations) The following stellar ingresses have occured (or soon will) since about 2000:

+approximately 2000:

-Mirach, a 2.4 mag. star in the constellation of Andromeda, moved into the sign of Taurus.

-Alcyone, of the Pleiades, a 3 magnitude star, moved into the sign of Gemini


+approximately 2010

-Menkalinan, a variable 1.9 magnitude star of the constellation Auriga, moved into the sign of Cancer


+upcoming approximately 2012

-Regulus, a 1.35 magnitude star of the constellation Leo (the "Heart of the Lion") moves into the sign of the Virgin.

I have her 2 books on Fixed Stars and her Starlight program.

Bernadette Brady's interpretations of the stars based on mythology.
She wrote that the stars that she uses in her system are the ones that are mythologically bright.
Furthermore, not everybody born on the same day has the same parans in Brady's method.
The location factors.
Also time can be critical for the parans involving the moon

Both Actress Winona Ryder and I were born on October 29, 1971.
She was born in Rochester, Minnesota at 11 AM.
I was born in San Francisco, California at 3:20 AM
She and I have very different parans with Brady's method.


Brady's paran method includes body motion, only stars visible from location
and the day starting at previous Sunrise - Egyptian,Roman

there are 6 paran day start options that leave to different parans

Solar Fire's paran method includes Circumpolar Nadir and the day starting at Local Midnight- Modern

Therefore, Solar Fire's method is very different from Brady's method which leads to different parans.

I am into using the Sidereal Zodiac , and I like how Western Sidereal Astrologer Kenneth Bowser looks at aspects

He uses ecliptic longitude, declination, and parans which he refers to as mundane aspects.

He doesn't use the ecliptic longitude projected method with stars.
He uses the mundo method
he is using the same method that Solar Fire uses


This article is about aspects in mundo
https://www.westernsiderealastrology.co ... 17e0GS7r_A


In this article, he points out that Princess Diana had in Right Ascension:
Spica conjunct Midheaven a little over 1 degree
Sun conjunct Sirius in Right Ascension 1/3 degree from the precise contact
https://www.westernsiderealastrology.co ... 17e0GS7r_A


In this article about OJ Simpson
In Right Ascension, he has
Algol conjunct Midheaven with 1/6 degree
Jupiter rose only 11 minutes before when Regulus culminating
Jupiter, the most angular planet in the chart on the I.C., is slightly more than 1/2° in right ascension (RA) from the precise opposition to Algol
https://www.westernsiderealastrology.co ... 17e0GS7r_A


2000 Election, Kenneth points out

Both Gore and Bush have Sirius (α Canis Majoris)
Bush has Achernar (α Eridani) only 6m 02s in right ascension or 1 1???2° from his mid-heaven
Gore, in contrast, gets a dim third magnitude star at his mid heaven, the delta star in Cassiopeiae, which is of the nature of Saturn. Worse, Difda, (β Ceti), is within one minute of right ascension of Gore’s natal Sun, and though it’s only a third magnitude star, Difda is also of the nature of Saturn.

if two objects are in conjunction in Right Ascension, they culminate together and anti-culminate together
if they are in opposition in Right Ascension, one culminates while the other anti-culminates

Those are parans


I use the projected ecliptic longitude, declination and the mundo method with fixed stars.

I am also keeping an open mind about Brady's method, but I am not sure about using previous sunrise - Egyptian,Roman day.
I thought about using day beginning at midnight.
With my interest in Mesopotamian Astrology, I thought about using previous sunset - Babylonian, Hebrew
