The eighth house is a mysterious sector that rules birth, death, sex, transformation, mysteries, merged energies, and bonding at the deepest level. The difference between the love affairs of the 5th House and love relationships of the 7th is that the 7th House refers to more permanently binding relationships, whereas the 5th House refers to affairs that may be temporary. Astrologers are divided over whether this house is associated with one's mother or father. Howard Sasportas' copy of The Twelve Houses helped guide me to a better understanding of the effects and purpose of each house in the Astrological chart. We attract karmic people into our lives when planets transit the Twelfth House, but during this time, we must also remember that not all relationships are meant to last. The second house covers all matters related to your immediate material and physical environment—taste, smells, sound, touch, sights. Planets here show how we expand our field of experience, and integrate all we know into a philosophy of life. Me encanto, me parecio muy interesante e informativo.

From ancient times up to the seventeenth century Electional Astrology in common with all the other branches of the subject received a good deal of attention, and it is a matter for surprise that it has not shared in the present revival of interest in Astrology, considering the extreme popularity and usefulness of the matters with which it deals.

  • Horary Astrology the Heart of the Question
    Horary Astrology The Heart of the question Copyright Clélia Romano, DMA Evidence point out to the fact that Horary Astrology only began to be practiced in the West some centuries after Natal astrology: perhaps in the 4th century. Many scholars believe that Horary is as old as Natal astrology based on some evidences supported especially by book 5 of Dorotheus of Sidon (75 AC), Carmem Astrologicum or Pentatheuc, one of the first works on Hellenistic astrology which survived almost preserved since our days. But if we think that Dorotheus wrote in Greek, was translated into Pahlavi (Persian) and from the Pahlavi into Arabic and then into English, and besides this Dorotheus wrote this work in verses, a fact that is a limitation to didactic transmission, we realize that many things must have been corrupted on the road. Although there are apparent indications of the use of Electional astrology in Dorotheus´ book, that were cited at length by the astrologer Hephaiste of Thebes, in the fifth century, intense revisions made in the nineties pointed out to several interpolations especially in the fifth book of the Pentateuch, which overthrew the hypothesis that Dorotheus was referring to Horary astrology. It happens that authors of the 8th and 9th century, as Sahal and Masha´allah transformed the texts of Electional astrology into Horary astrology. Quite interesting is the fact that, according to the vast article by Chris Brenani, Pingree, who translated the Pentateuch in 1976 and also Hephaiste, also translated from the Sanskrit, at the same time, the important work called Indian Yavanajātaka or “the Greeks Horoscope” It is an astrological text that was written in Sanskrit verse, in 269/270 AD and originally translated from Greek and written by some Yavaneśvara or "Lord of the Greeks" in DC 149/150.

  • Robert Zoller's Medieval Astrology
    GVIDONIS BONATI ON THE ARABIC PARTS translated from the original Latin text by: b Robert Zoller. www.new-library.com/zoller © Copyright 2000 New Library Limited All rights reserved BONATTI ON THE ARABIC PARTS Copyright © 1980, revised 2000 by Robert Zoller All Rights Reserved INTRODUCTION TO TRANSLATION The following is an extract of the work of Guido Bonatti translated from Latin into English from Guidonis Bonati Forliviensis Mathematici de Astronomia Tractatus X universum quod iudiciariam rationem nativitatum, aeris tempestatum attinet, comprehendentes. Adiectus est Cl. Ptolemaei liber Fructus, cum utilissimis Georgii Trapezuntii Published in 1550, Basel. The translation is of the second part of Bonatti’s treatment of Revolutions of the Year of the World, which is the fourth part of the work and covers columns 626 – 664. The work seems to have been written for delivery as a series of lecturers. This gives it a rather disjointed continuum and requires careful reading. Special attention should be given to the beginning where Bonatti intermeshes Albumassar’s view with his own. This is again done with Alchabitius at the end. Minimal editing and standardising of the English has been undertaken so as to allow the thinking and practice of the medieval astrologer to shine through the translation. The work examines the ancient doctrine of Arabic parts. For a proper understanding of them the reader should have a working knowledge of natal chart erection and interpretation as well as a basic knowledge of horary and electional astrology. Greater detail on these areas and a fuller understanding of the parts as well as other important aspects such as profections and the revolutions of the nativities is to be found in the [Foundation Course on Medieval Astrology] (for the beginner) and the [Diploma Course on Medieval Astrology] as well as in other materials found on this website [Tools and Techniques].

CA, p.369 CHAP. LII Who shall do best in a suit of law? If the lord of the ascendant and seventh be in angles, neither shall overcome2: see which is joined to an evil planet in a cadent house, that party shall be overcome: if both be joined to infortunes, both parties will be undone by the suit, or receive infinite prejudice. If the one be strong and the other weak, and he that is strong be not cadent, nor joined to an infortune; and he that is ill dignified, or in a weak quarter of heaven or house, I say, if he be not in his own house, or exaltation, or with a good planet; then the strongest in the scheme overcomes. He that is but meanly strong in the figure, seems very fearful; sometimes he hopes to win, at other times to lose: and observe this in questions, concerning wars and kingdoms, the fortitude of a planet is greater in his exaltation than in his house, in all other questions quite contrary.

  • The Hyleg and Alcoccoden by Bernadette Brady (First Published In: the Australis 97 Congress Papers)
    The Hyleg and Alcoccoden By Bernadette Brady (First Published in: The Australis 97 Congress Papers) Life and Death It is only in the last one hundred years that science and medicine have made sufficient advances to free us from the concerns of our own length of life. Those of us who live in the western world expect to live a long and healthy life and feel we have the right to assume that every child will also live and fulfil society’s expectations of adulthood. Of our own children we expect that they will reach maturity and accordingly we plan for their future, in a sense investing in them in the hope that they will also provide us with family and security in our old age. How valid this modern belief is can be questioned. However, we do know that this was not the common belief held throughout most of human history. For apart from modern times the continuing life of a new born child could not be assumed and there was every reason to assume that the child would not be reared successfully. The parents therefore would naturally have questions concerning whether they should produce another heir, whether the child should be named or educated or trained in a profession, or whether he or she should be allowed to enjoy a happy, if not short life, which contained no education or expectations of their adulthood. These may seem offensive questions to our modern expectations but when resources were limited and one’s safety and quality of old age depended upon one’s ability to produce and rear heirs, these were vital questions concerning the chart of the new born child.

  • Gerard Cremonensis on Astronomical Geomancy
    GERARD CREMONENSIS O N A STRONOMICAL G EOMANCY. ecause Astronomy is so transcendent and subtil an Art in itself, that therein a man ought to have respect unto so many things before he can attaine to true judgment thereby, because the eye of the understanding will not pierce unto the half thereof, and few Doctors of our later time have B ffi been found so experienced therein that they know su ciently how to judge thereby; Therefore I have composed this work, which I wilt have to be named, Astronomical Geomancy; wherein, I will sufficiently teach how to judge with less labour and study. For in this present science it is not requisite to behold neither the Ascendant, nor the hour in a Table, as it is in Astrology. It is expedient therefore, to make four unequal lines, by the points casually set down; and to joyne together those points; and out of the points which are not joyned together, which do remain in the heads of the lines, (as it is done in Geomancie) extract one figure; and the signe of the Zodiack that answereth to that figure, put for the Ascendent, for the words sake. If Acquisitio arise from the heads of those four Lines, let Aries be placed in the Ascendent; if Laetitia, or the lesser Fortune put Taurus in the Ascendent; if Puer or Rubeus, place Gemini; If Albus, Cancer; if Via, Leo; if Conjunctio or the Dragons Head, Virgo; if Puella, Libra; if Amissio or Tristitia, Scorpio; if the Dragons Tail, Sagittary; if Populus, Cap- ricorn; if Fortuna major, Aquary; if Carcer, then put Pisces for the Ascendent.
