Re: Transits coming into effect - Quadrant vs WS Hi all, Often I face the following dilemma in predictive work. I usually have a given chart in both placidus and whole sign houses in front of me. According to WS doctrine, once a planet ingresses into a new sign it would activate the house cusp which falls on top of that sign. In WS it is as if it...

Many thanks for your differtiated sight of the aspect theme and the hint to Deborahs article! (I didn’t read it yet.) For me it sounds very reasonable to respect the borders of the signs. If there is a trine from 15° Aries to 15° Leo then the involved signs are of the same element (and humors), so ... Forum: Horary & Electional Astrology Topic: Should we take the trip?

I do feel that you are overloading Saturn's symbolism a bit. He demarks and guards the border; once you are beyond that line - whether in an outwards or in an inwards direction - you are properly speaking in Uranus' realm. (And it goes without saying that crossing the line isn't always a bad thing....

In traditional astrology there is no great trine at all because Saturn is in the wrong sign for it. Thete is no trine between Libra and Pisces or Gemini and Pisces. This isn't so easy to answer. Quoting Deb's comprehensive article on the topic "The Classical Origin and Traditional Use of Aspec... Forum: Horary & Electional Astrology Topic: Should we take the trip?

Re: Should we take the trip? Am considering a trip to Europe this July and while I have the funds, the logistics will be a bit harried, which makes me wonder if we should just skip it. I/we have cabin fever and would love to be able to go. Should we make the trip? I am 1H and as the trip involves passports and cross-border tra...

Re: Even more musings about Saturn I was thinking about Saturn and the concept of multiplicity mentioned in the OP and it occurred to me that this seems contradictory since Saturn is about lack and multiplicity implies abundance. After thinking about it some more I realized that there is probably different kinds of multiplicity. I l...

Re: More random musings on Saturn Hi kubernetes, Regarding this: 3.Something that really tickles me is how intellectuals are flocking around "Simulation Theory" these days. These are the same people who scoff at astrology but always do so without realizing the deeper philosophical implications of it; which is that any simu...

stefan thanks for the additional comments and encouragement... i think this is connected to the many different techniques astrologers use, that other astrologers don't share.... it seems so very subjective to me and although i have heard good arguments for the use of fixed stars, i am not convinced...

James, I think you had some good points in your post. About fixed stars. I tend to use them more and more in recent years. Sort of icing on the cake. Taking the chart to another level. Hypothetically would Trump have made it all way to presidency without the Regulus on asc ? Would Prince Harry rele...

Brigitte Bardot is a quadruple Libra and (arguably) an incarnation of Venus herself. And yet, in this video you see her slapping guys and even physically attacking another woman (around the 8:20 mark). https://youtu.be/FRhYSrSQGtw Hope you enjoy!
