New Levels of Interpretation in the Aspect Pattern New Levels of Interpretation in the Aspect Pattern Stars, Gaps and Channels in the Horoscope Michael A. Huber Contains results of Michael Huber’s researches into the significance of patterns within the spaces in the aspect structure. These are claimed to reveal hidden spiritual qualities of the human character. Originally published in ‘Astrolog’, the German-language magazine of API Switzerland. Translated by Heather Ross. Translation funded through a generous bequest from Agnes Shellens.

Huber A new, unknown dimension in the horoscope appears when the aspect pattern is drawn, which reveals hitherto hidden spiritual qualities of the human character. First published in ‘Astrolog’ Issues 121-124, April-October 2001. Translated by Heather Ross Introduction New, Enhanced Aspect Pattern Design The depths of the human soul are almost There are particular new elements that we can unfathomable, is this not also true for the fi nd in the aspect pattern.

The mind can review, understand and which we can see things that could not previously refl ect upon everything, once it knows the signs, be interpreted astrologically and often even houses, planets and aspect pattern in detail. psychologically.

  • A Mini-Course in Astrology Deciphering Your Horoscope Wheel
    A Mini-Course in Astrology If you want to know more about astrology, here is a brief outline of how horoscopes work, concise meanings of each part of the horoscope and, scattered throughout, tips on how to put these parts together. Deciphering Your Horoscope Wheel The horoscope wheel is a complete, accurately calculated chart such as a professional astrologer would draw up. This wheel is actually a diagram showing how the planets and signs were arranged around you at the moment of your birth. Think of yourself, just being born, as being at the center. The two horizontal spokes are the horizon of the place where you were born. Above this line are the planets that were up in the sky. Below it are the planets that were hidden below the horizon. The sky is shown as if you were facing south. As the Earth turns on its axis each day, the Sun would rise to your left in the east, culminate or reach its highest point around noon, set to your right, and anticulminate or reach its lowest point about midnight before rising the next day. Were you born during the day or at night? If you look at your own horoscope wheel, you should see your Sun (q) either above or below the horizon, reflecting the time of day when you were born. The diagram above shows approximately where the Sun would be at various times during a 24-hour period. The planets, too, make this entire trip clockwise around the horoscope wheel each day, but each rises and sets at a different time.

    The Role of Astronomy in Society and Culture Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 260, 2009 c International Astronomical Union 2011 D. Valls-Gabaud & A. Boksenberg, eds. doi:10.1017/S1743921311002602 Astronomy and astrology Philippe Zarka LESIA, Observatoire de Paris, 5 Place Jules Janssen, 92195 Meudon, France email: [email protected] Abstract. Astrology meets a large success in our societies, from the private to the political sphere as well as in the media, in spite of the demonstrated inaccuracy of its psychological as well as operational predictions. We analyse here the relations between astrology and astronomy, as well as the criticisms opposed by the latter to the former. We show that most of these criticisms are weak. Much stronger ones emerge from the analysis of the astrological practice compared to the scientific method, leading us to conclude to the non-scientificity of astrology. Then we return to the success of astrology, and from its analysis we propose a renewed (and prophylactic) rˆole for astronomy in society. Keywords. Astrology, sociology, psychology 1. Introduction: what is astrology? The influence of celestial bodies on Earth has several obvious manifestations: life on Earth depends on the Sun, seasons are linked to its position in the sky (due to the non- perpendicularity of the Earth’s rotation axis with respect to the ecliptic plane), ocean tides are controlled by the position of the Moon (via its differential gravitation) and of the Sun, and eclipses are due to Sun–Moon–Earth alignments. Astrology extrapolates these factual influences by postulating that the positions of the Sun, Moon and 8 planets other than Earth (hereafter called the “luminars” following Kunth & Zarka 2005) with respect to the sky background, as well as with respect to each other, influence terrestrial events and human psychology and destiny.

  • 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.

Common elements of dualities, triplicities, and quadriplicities are present in each of the twelve zodiac signs, representing the relationship not only between the signs but the elements of the universe.

  • A Brief Comparative Study of the Tetrabiblos of Claudius Ptolemy and the Vedic Surya Siddhanta
    A Brief Comparative Study of the Tetrabiblos of Claudius Ptolemy and the Vedic Surya Siddhanta. Trishana Ramluckan Submitted as part of a taught degree of Master of Arts in Classical Civilisation at the Programme of Classics, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban. 2005 11 Abstract The Ancient Indians and Greeks had similar beliefs in the concepts of magic, superstition, and astrology. First I will look briefly at the beliefs of the ancient Greeks and the main astrological text- the Tetrabiblos of Claudius Ptolemy. Ptolemy moves away from the scientific account that he provides us in his Almagest, to defining astrology as an art acquired from the observation of the movements of the heavenly bodies. The main argument however is based on the fact that Ptolemy uses an almost apologetic tone in his defence of the Tetrabiblos. Whereas the ancient Indians appeared to be strong believers in astrology, the ancient Greeks always sought to justify it in terms of science. To analyse this concept in depth I will provide a comparative study of both these belief systems. But whereas the Greeks distinguished astrology from astronomy, in the Vedic tradition astrology consisted of observable science as well as mythological and magical elements. Some consideration must therefore be given to astronomical aspects of this tradition in drawing a comparison between the two. Astrology was prevalent in ancient India a long time prior to the writing of the Surya Siddhanta or any other astronomical text. The Surya Siddhanta is often held to be the main text on Indian astronomy as it tries to address the reasons why certain religious practices were performed at those specific times.
