The book appears written with two goals in mind; first, to give an overview of Hellenistic astrological techniques, and second, to demonstrate these techniques on a multitude of charts. The discussion of areas of the sky promoting blindness led to the surprising discovery that Arabic lunar mansions have shifted by two entire mansions over the past years.

  • Hellenistic Astrology: Second Thoughts
    Hellenistic Astrology: Second Thoughts by Bill Wrobel [paper conceived October 4, 2014, 9:42 pm, Los Angeles general area. 13 Gemini 38 Ascendant, 23 Aquarius 54 MC] Roughly 2000 years ago, Hellenistic Astrology was TNBT (The Next Big Thing). After much of its teachings disappeared by the 9th and 10th centuries, Hellenistic Astrology (H.A.) pretty much disappeared (for all intents & purposes). Now in the beginning of the 21st Century, H.A is TNBT once again! : ) In those terms, Hellenistic Astrology is both ancient and new. It is The Name Of The Game currently in terms of astrological focus. The recent revival of H.A. started to gain steam in the mid-1990’s with the arrival of Project Hindsight (founded by Robert Schmidt, with two other principals initially involved). I attended such intensives at that period, and purchased cassette tapes of other lectures I could not attend. Being the innate curious soul that I am (Mercury in Gemini in the 9th, Venus in Gemini ruling my Libra Ascendant in the 8th, etc.) I wanted to get involved in the early stages in TNBT. Of course my background in astrology is firmly established with modern astrology, especially the integrative, humanistic, principles-oriented approach championed by Zipporah Dobyns, my teacher. My second thoughts about Hellenistic Astrology, after my initial enthusiasm when I first studied it 20 years ago and intervening study, is that it tends to be a highly materialistic & deterministic events-oriented approach. My concern is that the present accelerated revival of H.A. now in the second decade of the 21st century might bring back an unquestioning embrace of that limited approach that really should have stayed in the ancient era.

  • Elements of the Babylonian Contribution to Hellenistic Astrology
    CHAPTER SEVEN ELEMENTS OF THE BABYLONIAN CONTRIBUTION TO HELLENISTIC ASTROLOGY In the scientifi c literature of the Hellenistic period, references to “Chaldeans” in connection with astrology and astronomy are numer- ous. The implications of such references, for the history of astrology, however, depend on a closer assessment of the nature and extent of the Babylonian contribution to that branch of Hellenistic science, but an assessment based on cuneiform sources. Three elements which are demonstrably Babylonian in origin yet form basic and integral parts of Greek astrological doctrine provide the focus of discussion here. They are: l) planetary exaltations, 2) the micro-zodiac, and 3) trine aspect. The differences between the Babylonian and Greek use of these three elements are exemplary of the fact that despite the incorporation of Babylonian elements at the inception of Greek astrology, the overall character and rationale of Greek astrology remains entirely a Helle- nistic Greek product. The current general impression that astrology originated in Baby- lonia may be credited to the Greeks of the Hellenistic age who often cited generic ancients, such as “Chaldeans” or “Egyptians” when some authoritative source on astrology or other esoterica was needed.1 Momigliano has evaluated the references to older eastern traditions found in some Greek authors this way: If we have to resort to a generalization about the fortunes of Oriental thought in the Hellenistic world and in its Roman prolongation, we must say that the mass of writings claiming to be translations from Oriental languages were mainly forgeries by writers in Greek. What circulated in Greek under the names of Zoroaster, Hystaspes, Thoth, and even Abra- ham was quite simply faked, though no doubt some of the writings con- tained a modicum of ‘Oriental’ thoughts combined with Greek ideas.2 1 The putative “debts of Greek wisdom to the East” claimed by Greek authors is reviewed in G.E.R.

  • A Golden Thread: the Transmission of Western Astrology Though Cultures by Demetra George
    A Golden Thread: The Transmission of Western Astrology Though Cultures By Demetra George Most contemporary practitioners and adherents of astrology assume that the kind of astrology that is generally taught and practiced today is the way it has always been done. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The discipline of western astrology has gone through many transformations in its four thousand year recorded history as it has passed though the cultures of the Babylonia, India, Persia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Islam, Medieval and Renaissance Europe, Seventeenth century through Victorian England, and twentieth century America. At each stage, these various cultures adapted the doctrines of astrology to the world views of their own societies and philosophies, and, in the process, mistranslated, misunderstood, and deleted, while sometimes innovating and improving upon what was inherited from their predecessors. Let us take a brief journey through time and follow the track of this ancient wisdom that refuses to be denied and forgotten. Mesopotamian Origins Just as the fourth millennium Tigris-Euphrates river valley is generally accepted as the cradle of civilization with the invention of writing, so among the earliest cuneiform texts are the astrological omens, the seedbed of the western astrological tradition. Throughout the Babylonian and Assyrian (second and first millenniums B.C.E.) cultures, the planets were considered to be one of the manifestations of their gods, and their movements and appearances were thought to reveal the intentions of the gods. Astrologer-priests meticulously observed and recorded the omens of the planetary gods and conveyed this information to the kings so that they might rule the land in accordance with divine intention.

  • 'Astronomy' Or 'Astrology'
    ‘Astronomy’ or ‘Astrology’ a brief history of an apparent confusion A.Losev Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 11 G.Bonchev str., Sofia 1113, Bulgaria Abstract The modern usage of the words astronomy and astrology is traced back to distinctions, largely ignored in recent scholarship. Three interpretations of celestial phenomena (in a geometrical, a substantialist and a prognostic form) coexisted during the Hellenistic period. From Plato to Isidore of Seville, the semiotic contrast is evidenced and its later developments are sketched. The concept of astronomy is found to be rather constant and distinct from changing views about astrology. The contemporary cultural context allows to easily distinguish between astronomy and astrology. When needed, some discourse on physics is wedged between the two and it contrasts them, bringing support for the first but not for the second. This strategy turns out to be problematic in earlier times as an inverted situation appears there: physics founds astrology while astronomy is taken to be purely hypothetical. Language considerations point that today’s astrology has appropriated the name of its founding knowledge. A statement that before the Modern Times no clear difference was made between astronomy and astrology is perhaps trivial but its explicitation is not really straightforward. Three conceptualisations of the celestial realm are found under the two names, which breeds complications and confusions. In ancient texts sometimes one (or the other) word is used for both disciplines but no evidence appears for any inversion of the two names. This suggests that our word usage is not a convention but rather the outcome of an unstated tradition and the alleged indistinction might be only lexical.

  • Hellenistic Astrology As a Case Study of „Cultural Translation‟
    HELLENISTIC ASTROLOGY AS A CASE STUDY OF „CULTURAL TRANSLATION‟ By MOONIKA OLL A dissertation submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MPhil(B) in Classics and Ancient History Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This dissertation approaches Hellenistic astrology as a case study for 'Cultural translation' in the Greco-Roman world. 'Cultural translation' denotes here the transition of ideas and knowledge from one culture to another, making them available in the recipient culture by the „translation‟ in its broader sense, using recipient‟s own already familiar intellectual and cultural concepts. The spread of Greek culture and the adoption of non-Greek elements into it during the Hellenistic times resulted in new hybrid Hellenistic culture based at Alexandria. Around the middle of the 2nd century BC astrology in its Hellenized form appeared there as a fully developed set of doctrines that Classical authors argued to have been the discoveries of the Chaldeans. Astrology, however, was not taken over from Babylonia per se, but was an assimilation and invention at the same time.

  • Abstracts for the 2010 NCGR Research Symposium Moving Forward, Looking Back
    Abstracts for the 2010 NCGR Research Symposium Moving Forward, Looking Back: Future Directions in Post-Modern Astrology February 25th, 2010 in Cambridge, MA Robert Hand - Mesopotamian Astrology This talk will present a general outline of Mesopotamian Astral Divination as it came into being, developed and began to evolve toward the horoscopic astrology of the Hellenistic Era. It will cover three stages of evolution. 1) Origins and early period up to the first millennium BCE. 2) The Assyrian and Second Babylonian Empire period. 3) The Persian and Sassanian Periods and early birth charts. Issues to be dealt with will concentrate on 1) The differences between Mesopotamian Astral divination and true horoscopic astrology. 2) The evolution of the zodiac and the sidereal-tropical issue. 3) How far along toward true horoscopic astrology did Mesopotamian astrology get. Chris Brennan – Hellenistic Astrology Hellenistic astrology (ca. 1st century BCE-7th century CE) appeared in the Mediterranean region towards the end of the Roman Republic, with the particular locus of activity being centered on Alexandria, Egypt throughout the course of its long history. The origins of the system of astrology that developed during this time are somewhat obscure due to the loss of early source texts, although the most frequently cited foundational compendiums were issued under the names of legendary figures. Many of the later astrologers whose texts have survived from this time were either compiling or reworking parts of the earlier tradition which they had inherited. From a technical perspective the system represents a synthesis of the earlier Mesopotamian and Egyptian astrological traditions, with numerous technical and conceptual advancements.

  • 12 Reasons Why Whole Sign Houses Is the Best
    Background Information • In 1982 Holden published a paper in the AFA research journal titled “Ancient House Division.” – He was first to point out that WSH was the original system of house division in western astrology. • Later confirmed by Schmidt & Hand in mid-90s. – They dubbed it “whole sign houses.” • Hand started popularizing it in the 90s. – Started to catch on by the late 2000s/early 2010s. • Quickly becoming a widely used system. • I’ll present some arguments for why. Calculating Whole Sign Houses • Whatever sign the Ascendant is located in, that sign becomes the first house. – From 0 to 30 degrees of the sign. – Regardless of how early or late the ASC is. • ASC was originally called the “Hour-Marker.” – It marks or designates the rising sign. • ASC is not the starting point of the 1st house. – Acts as a floating sensitive point. • Other houses assigned to the signs in order. – There are 12 houses and 12 signs. The MC and IC • MC and IC become floating sensitive points. • They do not act as the start of the 10th or 4th. • They important 10th and 4th house significations into the house they fall in. • This doubles up the significations of that house The Origins of Houses • Western astrology was created in the 1st century BCE based on a fusion of the previous Mesopotamian and Egyptian traditions. • Beginning of “Hellenistic astrology.” – Practiced from 1st century BCE to 7th century CE. • Concept of houses first introduced c. 75 BC. • Didn’t really exist as we know it prior to this. • Resulted from merging zodiac with decans.

  • The Lot of Fortune: to Reverse Or Not?
    www.astrologiahumana.com The Lot of Fortune: To Reverse or Not? The objective of the present article is to analyze the question of reversing or not the Part of Fortune in nocturnal charts. The Hellenistic astrology represents the oldest written western astrological literature we have, so we will base our study of the Lot in the very beginning of its use. The use of Lots between the Hellenistics was general and we can find several Lots coming from a book called the Panaretos which was attributed to Hermes Trimegistus. He is no doubt a legendary figure with no historical basis, but anything attributed to him before the Middle Ages can be safely ascribed to Hellenistic Egyptian sources or earlier. The Lot of Fortune was attributed to Nechepso and Petosiris, an also legendary pharaoh and his priest. In this article I will quote passages coming from Valens and Hephaist relating the question of reversing or not the POF´s formula to an obscure passage in the book of the king Nechepso. Almost all the ancient astrologers, except Ptolemy, used to reverse the part of Fortune according to diurnal or nocturnal charts. Basically, the Part of Fortune is used to describe the way in which the individual is physically connected with the world. It is one of the significators of the body and health, and it is also a significator of prosperity. Accordingly to Paulus Alexandrinus, a 4th century author: "And Fortune signifies everything that concerns the body, and what one does through the course of life. It becomes indicative of possessions, reputation and privilege." The Part of Fortune is sought from the 3 more important points of the chart: the Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon.

  • Porphyrius Magus
    NEWS from RUMEN KOLEV ‘PLACIDUS RESEARCH CENTER’ www.babylonianastrology.com; [email protected] February 27-28, 2009, Varna, Bulgaria Addar 1-3 Dear colleagues, astrologers, scholars, students and lovers of the Sky. Today, the 27th of February, 2009, being the first day of the new month Adar, the Moon was high into the sky, brilliant and beautiful like a Venetian gondola, appearing almost at the same time with Venus. Ishtar was high above the Moon and only six days away of her elongation. With the previous month Shabat having 30 days, the Moon has perfected its cycle. Also, Jupiter appeared six days ago and Saturn is making his Acronychal Rise after four days. Under such brilliant auspices I am exalted to announce the descent into our world of: 1 PORPHYRIUS MAGUS coming in the new version of PLACIDUS- THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON for HELLENISTIC, ARAB and MEDIEVAL ASTROLOGY 2 PORPHYRIUS MAGUS enables us to see through his eyes the true essence of the people by the Magic of the True Ancient Astrology. The chart below is that of Adolf Hitler as seen by the Porphyrius Magus module of PLACIDUS 6.00 3 Here we can see immediately on the chart and with symbols the astral trinity of every person- a very important and meanigful doctrine within Hellenistic and Arab Astrology: The God’s Light- the Hyleg (Epikratetor) The Guardian Angel- the Alcocoden (Oikodespotes) and The Ego- the Almuten (Kurios). We can set these to be computed by 6 Hellenistic, 3 Arab and 1 Medieval authors. We choose the authors with a click of the mouse over a roll-down list: HYLEG-ALCOCODEN List ALMUTEN List Dorotheus Dorotheus Rhetorius-Valens Ptolemy Valens Ptolemy Day Ptolemy Ptolemy Night Porphyry Porphyry Paulus Alexandrinus Omar Tiberiades Omar Tiberiades Alchabitius Alchabitius Abenragel Abenragel Regiomontanus Regiomontanus 4 With a mouse-click, we choose an author and PORPHYRIUS MAGUS immediately computes and refreshes the chart on the screen according to the new choice of doctrine.
