A friend came to Canada some years ago. In January this year, she took an English proficiency test. The results were okay, but not to her satisfaction. She continued to study. In early May, she took the test again. The results were once again okay, but not to her satisfaction. (She got better marks ...

Hi, Ouranos. I have seen you discuss midpoints on various posts. What is a good book to get into this subject? Do you agree with my analysis? More particularly, do you agree that: 1. Jupiter is the girl. 2. Jupiter being in Taurus may be a complete answer to my question? In my original post, I menti...

The situation is as follows: 1. Around five, six years ago, my friend and I knew a girl, who came from abroad. At that time, the girl hooked up with my friend. 2. Later, the girl went back to her home country. 3. After a hiatus of around five years (e.g., now), the girl contacted my friend. She said...

Upon reviewing the chart, I realized that my initial interpretation was totally wrong. Now, I see it as follows: 1. Mars is Lord of the 9th House. Mars is the book on trading. 2. Mars in fact connects all of key planets in this chart: a. Sextile aspect with Saturn: Lord of the 6th House, which would...

Hi, Martin Gansten. Oh wow! This forum truly is educational. I can't believe I spent so many hours reading Ashmand's translation without realization that he was actually translating a paraphrase ... Thank you for clarifying this issue, as well as the meaning of the word "hairesis", for me.

Thank you, Ouranos and Martin Gansten, for replying. Ashmand Edition I became more interested in this issue while reading Tetrabiblos. Initially, I was reading the Ashmand translation. In Book 3, Chapter 4, I read, Thus, for example, the degree of their fortune and wealth will be indicated by the do...

Hi, Ouranos. You said, Planets only - no degree position in your chart. I included three screenshots. The screenshots are the chart, the positions of the planets, and the positions of the house cusps. Am I missing something? In any event, I have now included a chart of the same time and place from a...

Hi, Ouranos. “Chart with no degrees”? What do you mean? I am not familiar with this concept. For the Moon being void, I was using the traditional seven planets. My question, if expanded, would probably have been something like: Would reading this book assist me to improve the profitability of my tra...

NOTE: After reviewing the chart, I realized that my interpretation in this post was all wrong. I have posted my updated interpretation in Post #6 below. After a long hiatus, I am considering getting back into day and swing trading. I came across a book on trading online. I downloaded it, but did not...

It would appear that the foundational texts for traditional Western astrology are mainly in Greek and Arabic. I do not have any Greek or Arabic. This is something that I may seek to remedy in the future. Here are my questions: 1. How important are these languages for understanding texts that have al...

Hi, Jason. Thank you for your recommendations. I have looked at both articles before. However, I did not read them deeply at the time. Hypothetical Horary Questions I suppose my question is more along the lines of: To which house should we attribute the Inner Guide/Good Daimon in terms of horary ast...

Hi, Ouranos. Thank you for referring me to the article. I will digest it before responding to you. Hi, james_m. My understanding is that in common parlance the Sun moves east along the ecliptic, while the sky rotates to the west. For instance, in terms of the Sun's movement, Taurus is to east of Ari...
