I was using whole sign houses for my interpretation, so here is the chart with whole sign houses.

I met someone again, after not seeing her for a while, but things look difficult at first glance. First thing I notice is ascendant is in Aries, not a good sign for a long term relationship. Uranus is on the ascendant. And ruler of the ascendant is in 8th house. However, the rulers of the 5th...

Are you using the traditional decans with paranatellonta?

Alexandria in Egypt became the center of astrological scholarship in the ancient world. Ptolemy lived there and Valens established an academy.

Good point. Olivia Barclay claims midpoints were also used by Lilly and even Firmicus.

Somebody needs to translate this to english. The original is in Arabic.

Rumen Kolev has implemented the Oktotopos in his software, what do you think?

Jupiter, you need to study history of science. Of course Ptolemy made a "mistake" in his model. He didn't have the tools or knowledge we have now. Please read a little before copying and pasting the same graphic again. Regarding the 8th house model. It's is old, it was proposed by Tycho Brahe...

Ptolemy was the most influential astrologer in history, because he was a reformer of the Hellenistic tradition. He was not a traditionalist like Dorotheus or Vettius Valens. His contributions to astronomy and astrology are significant. Your complaints are well known and petty minded.

Yes, I meant his substantial astrological contributions.

Good point. Western astrology is based on the Sun, by Egyptian influence.

Some siderealists are using the Galactic Center or the Galactic Node.

Cyril practiced modern astrology, using techniques such as solar and lunar returns, transits and progresssions. He was a scholar too, so his craft had some traditional underpinnings. It's to be expected, since in the 20th century almost no astrologer did traditional. He was friends with CEO...

As an aside, my thread on Ayanamshas was moved from Modern astrology to Vedic astrology. Showing how obscurantism is not just a problem of "Traditionalists" but of so called "Moderns" too. The subject of Ayanamshas is important for many Western astrologers, not only for the Jyotish. Cyril Fagan...

I don't understand why this thread was moved. Ayanamshas have been a subject of Western Astrology since Cyril Fagan started it.

Some traditional astrologers are starting to use Moon mansions, Arabic or Vedic. However, the ancient Vedic rishis not only saw the position of the Moon on the Nakshatras but also those of the planets. Do you think the essential diginities for the classical planets could accommodate the Moon...

Yes, astrology can do that. It can also help people solve it by themselves, if they want to.

I disagree. Astrology was an important tool for doctors in the Ancient world (Galen) and the Renaissance (Paracelsus). It's clear an astrologer can go beyond most psychologists. Some psychologists are using astrology to get deeper information. There is no incompatibility between both. If there...

The important point here is that we have forgotten to watch the actual sky. The current obscurantism of tropical astrology shall pass. Science will return to it's roots.

Scientists used to be interested in astrology and they will again. Using a sidereal zodiac would be a step in the right direction. My goal is to bring educated people to astrology, not just scientists.
