Additional Notes on the Length of Life appendix 1 Additional Notes on the Length of Life 1 Calculating the hyleg The first step in the calculation of the length of life is the identification of the hyleg, that is, the giver of life.1 Generally speaking, the hyleg is often one of the luminaries, preferably the Sun in a diurnal nativity and the Moon in a nocturnal one. The chosen luminary has to fulfil certain conditions in order to be capable of functioning as hyleg, that is, as giver of life. These are usually related to the luminary’s placement in favour- able houses, and in adequate essential and accidental conditions. If neither luminary is suitable to be hyleg, the choice must fall on the ascendant, the lot of fortune or the degree of the lunation before birth (syzygy); this varies in diurnal or nocturnal nativ- ities. The tables below summarize the method most commonly used in the medieval period. If none of the possible candidates has the required conditions, the nativity was con- sidered without hyleg. This suggested a proneness to illness and therefore a prospec- tive shorter life. Method of evaluation for diurnal charts: it begins with the Sun, the first candidate for hyleg; if the Sun is in good conditions it is chosen and no additional calculations are necessary. If, however, it is in a bad condition (i.e. in detriment, in fall or in a weak house), the evaluation moves on to the next possible candidate in the list, the Moon. If the Moon is not in a good condition, it was necessary to determined if the nativity was conjunctional, that is, preceded by a New Moon, or preventional, preceded by a Full Moon. If conjunctional, it followed the sequence displayed on Figure 64; if pre- ventional, in Figure 65. Sequence for nocturnal nativities: first the Moon, then the Sun; if neither of them is in a good condition, the sequence follows Figure 64 for conjunctional, or Figure 65 for preventional charts. Sequence for a conjunctional nativity. It is applicable to all charts preceded by a New Moon, both diurnal or nocturnal, as long as their luminaries were unsuitable for 1 The term hyleg, or hylech, form Arabic haylaj or hilaj, is the latinization of the Greek apheta, which conveys approximately the same meaning.

The first candidate is the ascendant; if in bad condition, the lot of fortune; if not suitable, the degree of the lunation preceding birth (in this case the New Moon). Sequence for preventional nativities. It is applicable to diurnal or nocturnal charts preceded by a Full Moon, if both luminaries were deemed unsuitable for hyleg. In this case, the first to be considered is the lot of fortune; then the ascendant, and finally the degree of the lunation preceding birth (the Full Moon). 2 Ptolemy’s Variant for Calculation the hyleg2 Like most authors, Ptolemy prioritizes the luminaries as hyleg (prorogator): in diurnal charts, the Sun, and if it is not suitable, the Moon; in nocturnal charts, the Moon, and if it is not suitable, the Sun. However, the luminaries are only accepted if they are in, what he calls, the ‘prorogative places’: the first, eleventh, tenth, ninth, and seventh houses. If the luminaries are not in these houses, he replaces them with certain planets as hyleg instead of following the usual alternatives, as explained above. In diurnal nativ- ities he chooses as hyleg the planet that has more dignities in the places of the Sun, of the preceding conjunction, and of the ascendant; in nocturnal ones, the planet that has more dignities in the places of the Moon, of the preceding Full Moon, and of the Lot of Fortune. These planets also have to be in prorogative places to be considered as hyleg. Should they not be in these conditions, the ascendant is chosen in diurnal nativ- ities. In nocturnal nativities, the ascendant is also chosen, but only if the lunation prior to birth was a New Moon, if it were a Full Moon the Lot of Fortune is chosen as hyleg. These methods are summarized in the diagrams below. 3 The alcocodem Once the hyleg is identified it is possible to take the next step, that is, to determine the alcocodem (from the Arabic al-kadhkhudah), the planet that measures the length of life. For a planet to be selected as alcocodem it must conjunct or aspect the hyleg by any aspect.3 2 Ptolemy, Tetrabiblos, III.10, pp. 271–279. 3 The complete method, with slight variations, is explained by several authors. See for instance the already mentioned article by Bezza, ‘Astrological Considerations on the Length of Life’, and also Ibn Ezra, Nativities, 257–259, 263–264 for hyleg, and 112–115, 259–264 for alcocodem; Alcabitius, Introduction, IV.4–5, 111–117. Helena Avelar de Carvalho - 9789004463387 Downloaded from Brill.com10/02/2021 04:02:49PM via free access Additional Notes on the Length of Life 393 The condition of the alcocodem is evaluated in order to ascertain how many years it is capable to give: if in very good condition, the alcocodem is able to give its greater years, in median condition, its median years, in weak condition, its lesser years (see table ‘Years of the Planets’). The calculation is then refined by the inclusion of the aspects to the alcocodem: conjunctions, sextiles, and trines from the benefics add years or months, while squares, oppositions, and conjunctions from the malefics subtract years or months from the number determined by the alcocodem. Still, the number obtained is not the length of life of the native, but only the natural duration of his vital force. If there are no difficult directions afflicting the hyleg around or after that time, life can be prolonged considerably by a moderated lifestyle and certain precautions. These conclusions are seen as possibilities and have to be confirmed by other predic- tive methods.4 4 Years of the Planets Each planet is associated with a certain number of years: greater, median, lesser, or maxima, as explained in the table below.5 These periods are related to the geocentric astronomical cycles. table 38 Years of the planets Years Saturn Jupiter Mars Sun Venus Mercury Moon Greater 57 79 66 120 82 76 108 Median 43.5 45.5 40.5 69.5 45 48 66.5 Lesser 30 12 15 19 8 20 25 Maxima 256 426 284 1461 1151 461 520 4 The technique of combining the years of the alcocodem and the directions to potentially harmful places was disputed in the sixteenth century, by those wanting to expurgate astrol- ogy from the ‘Arabic superstitions’, returning it to the ‘Greek tradition’. As the alcocodem is not mentioned by Ptolemy in Tetrabiblos, it was seen as a late addition and thus contested. However, other Greek sources, unknown at the time, attribute years to the planets, as dis- cussed in Hasse, ‘Astrology. Ptolemy against the Arabs’, Success and Suppression, 262–265. 5 These are the values presented, with slight variations, by most sources. See for instance Albiruni, Instructions, 255, n.436–437, and Alcabitius, Introduction, II.5, 10, 15, 22, 28, 33, 38; 65–83.

  • What Are Primary Directions? 1
    The Basics: What are Primary Directions? 1 1 The Basics: What are Primary Directions? The technique known today as primary directions is one of the most ancient and renowned methods of astrological forecasting. It is also, as I hope to show in this book, one of the most powerful. From classical antiquity throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and even into the twentieth century, all the great names of western astrology have worked with primary directions.1 It was the predictive technique of Dorotheus and Ptolemy, of Māshāʾallāh and Abū Maʿshar, of Regiomontanus and Placidus, of Morin de Villefranche and William Lilly. To understand the traditional astrologers, we must understand primary directions. The primary motion The word primary refers not only to the pre-eminence of the technique, but to the primary motion on which it is based. This is simply the daily rotation of the earth around its axis, appearing to us as the rotation of the sky – complete with planets, stars, and the signs of the zodiac – around our place of observation.2 In approximately 24 hours not only the Sun, but every planet and zodiacal degree will rise in the east, culminate in the south (for an observer in the northern hemisphere), set in the west, and finally travel unseen across its lowest point in the north (the anti-culmination below the horizon) to the place where it will rise again. A planet or point in the zodiac rising at the eastern horizon is said to be conjunct the ascendant. When culminating, it is similarly conjunct the midheaven or medium caeli (MC); when setting, conjunct the descendant; and when anti-culminating, conjunct the lower midheaven or imum caeli (IC).

  • Claudius Ptolemy: Tetrabiblos
    CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY: TETRABIBLOS OR THE QUADRIPARTITE MATHEMATICAL TREATISE FOUR BOOKS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE STARS TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK PARAPHRASE OF PROCLUS BY J. M. ASHMAND London, Davis and Dickson [1822] This version courtesy of http://www.classicalastrologer.com/ Revised 04-09-2008 Foreword It is fair to say that Claudius Ptolemy made the greatest single contribution to the preservation and transmission of astrological and astronomical knowledge of the Classical and Ancient world. No study of Traditional Astrology can ignore the importance and influence of this encyclopaedic work. It speaks not only of the stars, but of a distinct cosmology that prevailed until the 18th century. It is easy to jeer at someone who thinks the earth is the cosmic centre and refers to it as existing in a sublunary sphere. However, our current knowledge tells us that the universe is infinite. It seems to me that in an infinite universe, any given point must be the centre. Sometimes scientists are not so scientific. The fact is, it still applies to us for our purposes and even the most rational among us do not refer to sunrise as earth set. It practical terms, the Moon does have the most immediate effect on the Earth which is, after all, our point of reference. She turns the tides, influences vegetative growth and the menstrual cycle. What has become known as the Ptolemaic Universe, consisted of concentric circles emanating from Earth to the eighth sphere of the Fixed Stars, also known as the Empyrean. This cosmology is as spiritual as it is physical.

  • The Differences Between Western & Vedic Astrology Dr Anil Kumar Porwal
    The Differences between Western & Vedic Astrology Dr Anil Kumar Porwal Zodiac The most foundational difference between Western and Vedic astrology is each system's choice of Zodiac. Western astrologers use the Tropical Zodiac, where the beginnings of the twelve signs are determined by the Sun's apparent orbit around the Earth, i.e. the onset of the four seasons, i.e. when the Sun crosses the Equator (going North at Spring which defines Aries and South in the Fall indicating the beginning of Libra) and its uppermost and lowest points (the Summer and Winter Solstices). Vedic astrologers, on the other hand, use the Sidereal Zodiac, which is based upon the physical positions of the constellations in the sky. They choose a starting point (most commonly the place in the sky opposite to Spica) for the beginning of Aries, and proceed in equal 30 degree segments for subsequent signs. While planets in signs are used extensively in Western astrology as the major definer of the expression of a planet, Vedic astrology uses signs differently, and reviewed in my article The Vedic Signs at: http://www.learnastrologyfree.com/vedicsigns.htm House System In addition, most modern Western astrologers use one of the many house systems that places the degree of the Ascendant as the beginning of the First House, with either unequally- or equally-sized houses. Vedic astrologers, by and large, use Whole Sign Houses, where the Ascendant can fall anywhere in the First House, and each house comprises all of one sign. Many also use Bhava/Shri Pati houses for a portion of their work.

  • John Worsdale and Thomas Oxley
    Placidean teachings in early nineteenth-century Britain: John Worsdale and Thomas Oxley Martin Gansten Abstract John Worsdale (1766 – c. 1826) has been described as something of a historical anomaly, perhaps the last representative of a dying astrological tradition, struggling uselessly against the rising tide of modernity. While this may be true with regard to the natural philosophy underpinning his view of how and why astrology works, Worsdale’s actual practices place him rather in the vanguard of an emerging modern astrology characterized by a modified Placideanism. Although the first stirrings of Placidean teachings were felt in Britain towards the end of the 17th century, they gained firm ground only after the subsequent hiatus of judicial astrology spanning most of the 18th. This paper examines the British adoption and transformation of the doctrines of Placidus, particularly as evinced in the writings of John Worsdale and those of his junior contemporary and occasional critic, Thomas Oxley (1789 – 1851). he history of modern astrology arguably begins in Italy, where, in 1650, the T Olivetan monk and professor of mathematics Placido de Titi (better known as Placidus, 1603 – 1668) published his Physiomathematica sive coelestis philosophia, ‘Physiomathematics or celestial philosophy’.1 According to his perhaps most famous statement, Placidus ‘desired no other guides but Ptolemy and Reason’.2 Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos being a most incomplete guide for a practising astrologer, the proportion of Placidus’ own reason in the resulting system was, for better or worse, correspondingly 1 Also known as Quaestionum physiomathematicarum libri tres, ‘Three books on physiomathematical questions’ and first published under the pseudonym Didacus Prittus Pelusiensis – pace Lynn Thorndike, who, in A history of magic and experimental science, vol.

  • Precise Determination of the Ascendant in the Lagnaprakaraṇa -I
    ARTICLES IJHS | VOL 54.3 | SEPTEMBER 2019 Precise Determination of the Ascendant in the Lagnaprakaraṇa -I Aditya Kolachana∗, K. Mahesh, K. Ramasubramanian Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (Received 25 March 2019; revised 09 September 2019) Abstract The determination of the ascendant (udayalagna) or the rising point of the ecliptic is an important problem in Indian astronomy, both for its astronomical as well as socio-religious applications. Thus, as- tronomical works such as the Sūryasiddhānta, the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta, the Śiṣyadhīvṛddhidatantra, etc., describe a standard procedure for determining this quantity, which involves a certain approximation. However, Mādhava (c. 14th century) in his Lagnaprakaraṇa employs innovative analytic-geometric approaches to outline several procedures to precisely determine the ascendant. This paper discusses the first method described by Mādhava inthe Lagnaprakaraṇa. Key words: Ascendant, Dṛkkṣepajyā, Dṛkkṣepalagna, Lagna, Lagnaprakaraṇa, Madhyakāla, Madhya- lagna, Mādhava, Paraśaṅku, Rāśikūṭalagna, Udayalagna. 1 Introduction In the first chapter of the Lagnaprakaraṇa, Mādhava discusses several procedures (many of them novel) to determine astronomical quantities such as the prāṇa- As the name implies, the Lagnaprakaraṇa (Treatise for kalāntara (difference between the longitude and right as- the Computation of the Ascendant) is a text exclusively cension of a body), cara (ascensional difference of a body), written to outline procedures for the determination of the and kālalagna (the time interval between the rise of the ascendant (udayalagna) or the rising point of the ecliptic. vernal equinox and a desired later instant).

  • Significattors and Promittors: How to Delineate Them?
    Significattors and Promittors: How to delineate them? Clelia Romano, DMA Copyright 2008-2010 How to delineate a certain matter or accident of the native´s life when a planet, ruler of a particular house / sign, is applying to another one that is the ruler of another house / sign in the radical chart? Modern astrologers would answer the question above usually considering the result as a mixture of both energies. As an illustration I´ll present the following chart: nd Here we see that Jupiter is at 14º of Aries, in the 2 sign of the 10th house which cusp is in th Pisces. By "whole signs" Jupiter is in the 11 sign. We can say that Jupiter is configured to career and reputation´s issues, but also to matters of friends and hopes. The transit of Jupiter to the Sun in the present chart occurred during the year of 2007. What was supposed to happen? Jupiter is a benefic planet, and in the present chart it is th th in a good place, (10 /11 ) and in Aries he has dignity as ruler of the fire triplicity. The transit of Jupiter to the Sun at 22º02' of Sagittarius, happened in that year. The Sun is in the 6th house, related to services and sickness. Can we expect a mix of the energy of both planets and places? Can we expect good things to happen, mixing energies of the 10th, the 11th and of the 6th? We can ask another question: has the transit of Jupiter to the Sun, as I described above, the same effect of the transit of the Sun applying to Jupiter? Many astrologers will answer in a positive way, taking into account that the transit of the Sun in much faster than the one of Jupiter, so the consequence of the last one would be less visible.

  • Star Lore V3 N24 Dec 1899
    STAR LORE AND FUTURE EVENTS. Jlythe. Editor of ZADKIF.L’S ALMANAC. No. 24. Vol. III.] DECEMBER, 1899. [Pbice 4d . THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA. In our issue of September we commented on the crisis in South Africa in the third quarter of the present year, and quoted the predictions of it made in Zadkiel’s Almanac for 1899, on the basis of the threatening planetary positions and configurations at the ingress of the sun into Aries, in March, and Cancer, in June, at Capetown. Since we wrote that article (in August) the Transvaalers re­ volted against Great Britain, and, aided by the Orange Free State burghers, invaded the Queen’s dominions in Natal and Capo Colony. The differences between the Transvaal and the British Government were serious in August and September, and it is now evident that Kruger would have begun the invasion of Natal earlier than October but for being compelled to wait for the spring to render the expedition easier and to furnish grass for the horses of his army.
