A subscriber asked Mr. Llewellyn George, “Why do the effects of planetary aspects seem to strike some places more than others?“ That is because some places have influences that coincide more with the nature of the aspect while others do not. Each country, city or village has its own horoscope, much the same as human living beings have, and the various lunations, eclipses and other celestial phenomena have effects proportionate to the influences of the stars just like certain people have susceptibility to certain planetary positions or aspects. Best would be good if we could ascertain the horoscope of a…

Point number two is the Part of Fortune, because of its importance of the relationship between a person’s luminaries. This mathematical point shows a person’s general focus of existence. To calculate your Part of Fortune click here. Pars Fortuna tells the person’s emphasis in his life — fundamentally and biologically. For while Mars gives the basic direction of your life, the Part of Fortune emphasizes it by clarifying it, just as the moon moves away from the sun, creating a new horizon. The Pars Fortune then is your horizon and through its sign, house and symbolical degree shows the will’s…

What is the 15 point method? Marc Edmund Jones put together for the student of the Sabian Assembly, The Fifteen Most Important Points in a Horoscope. He felt it was a dependable method that could help anyone go through a chart and create a general portrait of the person. He later expanded this to 16 points. He was insistent that his method required an exact birth hour. If the astrologer rectifies the chart, then this new chart , must give its own clear testimony of the person, as one aspect depends upon another, and so on creating a unified portrait. There…

Using the Equal House The Equal House house and whole House systems are the oldest astrological house systems in astrology. The Equal House is based on the Ecliptic, and some astrologers actually call it the Ecliptic system. It has several features: All the houses are equally spaced, meaning that each house is exactly thirty degrees wide, so it very easy to manually construct. All of the houses start on the degree of the Ascendant There are no intercepted houses, as each sign gets its own house, i.e. we equally divide the chart into twelve equal parts. The tenth house cusp…

In calculating the planetary hours for Sunday, for example, first you look up the time of Sunrise in the newspaper. Then you designate the first hour to the Sun, the ruler of Sundays. The rest of the hours follow a set sequence – Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars. Historically a planetary hour is one hour long. Today happens to be Wednesday, this makes the first hour ruler of the day, at sunrise, Mercury, the Second is the Moon and so on. When you reach the end of the sequence, start over with the Sun. In this way, it…

by Johan Elverskog* This week for Chinese New Year we bring you a scholastic paper from Medieval history Journal on the Chinese and Mongolian contributions to medieval astrology. The original paper, in toto, is below. Astrology in pre-modern Eurasia, was fundamentally about orienting oneself—and one’s realm—in time and space and, as such, by bringing order to chaos, it functioned as a handmaiden of empire. The reality faced by all imperial systems was the competing universal claims of power that were based on radically different systems of astrology, astronomy and divination. In their effort to come to grips with this diversity,…

Point 9 was originally Karma. Marc Edmund Jones wrote “Karma is what you carry around with you as an excuse for being. Good karma places nothing in your way, and bad karma makes you work, therefore, bad karma is good, because it makes you put forth effort.” He added that “Jupiter is the planet of karma, the planet of your soul or your conscious conception of your inner self. “ Twenty years later, when the posthumous Counseling Manual of Astrology was published, it was changed to Spontaneity for what is the person’s enjoyment of life and how that fulfills them.…

The Fifteen Most Important Points in a Horoscope Delineation or How to Proceed After Getting an Overview of the Chart¹ – Point 1. Introduction The fifteen-point method of interpretation is dependable when we have an exact birth hour. Every sign of a horoscope, must give its own clear testimony if there is any truth to astrology at all. Otherwise one thing would depend upon another, and that upon another, and so on, without end. Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, Baron Cuvier, once remarked: “Show me a bone and I will identify the animal.” I used to laugh at that statement until I…

Walter Koch House System

I have read a lot about each house system. There are time-based systems like the Koch and Placidus house systems — the first and second most popular house systems in the U.S.A. Space versus Time versus Meridians The flaw to the time-based systems is they cannot deal with extremely northern latitudes: the northern United Kingdom, Scandinavian, upper Russia and norther Mongolia. That may not be a problem for astrologers just doing friends and family in a specific region but for us at Sabian. Earth where we chart people and events all over the globe it is a hindrance. But there…
