  • The Basis of Symmetrical Astrology
    The Basis of Symmetrical Astrology Overview: Why Symmetrical Astrology? Astrology needs to create its future form. While many astrologers have seized astrology’s history and others have integrated modern psychological forms into the field, the technique for the future growth of astrology needs definition in modern technical terms and methods. Without a new definition and direction, astrology has no future, only a past. Symmetrical Astrology is not a school or the teachings of a specific set of ideas. It is an anchor to ground astrological ideas to a fixed point and this fixed point should allow unlimited development of astrological innovations in all directions. As the future techniques of the regenerated field of astrology are integrated and the face of astrology revitalizes and merges into the larger social collective, then Symmetrical Astrology will have served its purpose as a launching pad for the future and can wither away. Introduction: Finding the Future of Astrology There is no doubt that astrology experienced a major reawakening broken into several segments during the twentieth century after a long period of decay in the learned minds of the world. With the first great reawakening people began to rediscover the astrological craft in the late 1800’s with the coming Neptune-Pluto conjunction in 1892 and what they found was pretty anemic and frail. Astrologers had more folklore guiding them than organized knowledge and scholars that had to work with the subject treated it with abhorrence and contempt. During the early part of the last century, a cottage industry began to grow around the reintroduction of these ideas.

  • 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.

For the purposes of this publication there have been considerable revision and enlargement. First of all there have been some discoveries. In the original articles I stated that there was only one unambiguous reference to anything other than the system of houses presented here, and that was in the writings of Julius Firmicus Maternus (see page 14). According to the existing translation he appears to have used the Equal House system. Since then I have consulted the original Latin in which it appears that his use of equal houses is not as clearly established as I had previously thought.

    The Transmission of Ptolemy’s Terms: An Historical Overview, Comparison and Interpretation _________________________________________________________________ Deborah Houlding Abstract The planetary rulership of terms has always been a contentious issue. Astrologers such as Ptolemy and Valens recorded the heated disagreements of their time, and demonstrated the differences between competing national ‘systems’. The Egyptian system was clearly predominant in the preserved records of classical astrologers, but by the end of the medieval period its popularity waned as support moved to the table ‘deemed worthy of record’ by the illustrious Ptolemy. Supposed to have been his preferred choice, this table of ‘Ptolemaic terms’ was later said to have settled all disagreements and to have helped standardize European technique. Even if this were true (it is not), the inconsistency by which the Ptolemaic terms are recorded makes this table the most problematic and controversial of all! What the inconsistencies are, and why they exist, is the focus of this paper. Introduction With the renewed interest in Hellenistic techniques, many modern astrologers who employ the planetary terms are choosing to adopt the older, Egyptian system, which was evidently favoured by early classical astrologers. By far the majority, however, employ the so-called ‘Ptolemaic terms’ as set out in William Lilly’s 17th century textbook Christian Astrology.1 The continued reproduction of Lilly’s text and the influence it maintains upon astrologers studying traditional techniques2 has given this particular rendering of the terms a position of such authority that even software products which allow their computation are 1 Lilly, William, Christian Astrology (London, 1647) [hereafter CA]. The terms, shown in Figure 1, are recorded on p.104.

  • Shamanic Astrology Natal Charts Using the Whole Sign House System
    Shamanic Astrology Natal Charts Using the Whole Sign House System When you receive your Shamanic Astrology Natal Chart you will notice that each degree on the house cusps begins with zero degrees. This is different than the Placidus, Koch or other house systems that use different mathematical formulas for dividing the space between the angles of the chart. Robert Hand, an internationally known astrologer, discovered, through translations of ancient Sumerian and Babylonian astrological texts, what is believed to be the oldest known house system used called the Whole Sign System. This system simplifies the houses and eliminates confusion around planetary placements near house cusps. From the perspective of the archetypal approach utilized by Shamanic Astrology the Whole House system beautifully aligns with this, equating the archetypal meaning of a house with that of a sign. For example, the first house of 30 whole degrees always has the connotation of the sign Aries, the second house, Taurus and so on. In the Whole House System each house cusp begins with zero degrees of the sign, placing the ascendant or sign that is rising somewhere in the first house. So for example, if a person is born with 29 degrees Capricorn Rising the first house cusp is zero degrees Capricorn, the second house cusp is zero degrees Aquarius, etcetera. The difference is the Ascendant/Descendant are not defining the first or seventh house cusp but fall within the context of those houses. Other benefits of this system are how it effectively eliminates the confusion concerning what house a planet or node is really occupying.
