Here is an article that I found particularly enlightening in relation to many of the points you have brought up recently:
www.newadvent.org/cathen/05048b.htm

I apologize for not reading all of your long and interesting posts thoroughly until today.
I found some extra time to myself and really dug into some of the issues you are bringing up.

I take you especially seriously because I think it is worse than foolish to do something forbidden by The Lord (my opinion).
I haven't yet decided on what I think you are here to do - whether it is to sell books, to warn us of some dangers you see, or to just join in the general discussion and debate here on astrology.tribe.

But I welcome you as a member and the interesting questions you are bringing up.
Here are some points I came up with just with my light and precursory study today.
*We know that the stars themselves are not evil
*We know that patterns exist in the cycles of heavenly bodies that correspond to cycles in human life. The biggest example I can think of is the moon and the female cycle.
*We use simple cycles of sun and moon to mark time.
*In the bible there were wise men who were not considered evil as far as I understood it and it seems they were astrologers because they were following a star.
*Yet many methods of divination were used that certainly WERE forbidden
*Reading this article, I found that the church has historically forbidden almost any form of divination even forms that make use of the Bible


Here is a list of common objections I found to divination/sorcery/magic etc.
*the use of false gods
*communicating with various spirits
*lying to, fooling, and taking advantage of people using false knowledge
*disregarding the importance of human freewill in attempts to predict the future



Being reminded of this makes me half of a mind to just put astrology away and find some other topic to play with. There are many I could choose from and it might be most wise to just avoid astrology all together if it is so warned against historically by the Church.

But it seems that modern technologies including computers, yes, have made the astrological patterns in the sky more accessible to the common person.
I notice strong patterns that intrigue me but I must admit they might be all in my head? But they are so strong!
I do not believe I am consulting spirits when attending to these patterns - unless my laptop is a spirit? I don't feel that the patterns have power over my free will to choose. I realize the uncertain nature of what I am noticing so I take it worth a grain of salt but maybe that is even dangerous?

Clearly the moon marks cycles in mood corresponding to cycles in hormones.
Why wouldn't other bodies correspond to other cycles - without the need for spirits or occult rites - just the aid of some technologies that allow us to mark these patterns and publish them more thoroughly and in more detail.


Just what are you trying to tell us?
*God forbade our commonly practice methods of astrology for some particular reason? (Please explain more. I'd really like to know)
*Our technologies are giving us inaccurate information and are lying to us/ misleading us? Perhaps even intentionally? But you have technologies that are clear of this misdirection?
*We should just read your books instead of asking you here?
*We are committing falsehoods when we pretend to know more than we are able to using western astrological methods and should be more humble and limited in the insights we seek from the patterns we are observing?



I'm not trying to target you or be rude.
I just think it seems like you might have something important to say and I think a lot of us are trying to understand you better.

I realize that I could have spent more than one day/ a few hours looking up the things you are referring to from various sources and studying your words even more carefully.
But - this is a discussion group after all. Why not look just deeply enough to generate a few questions instead for discussion?
This is what I did. I apologize if my questions and small bit of research fail to do justice to what you are trying to say but I am interested to hear what you have to say. I think others are curious too.

      Uh, needs time to read, ok. I did not say our telescopes see the real sky, I intimated that man does the best he can, sometimes better notL that is sometimes it is better to do nothing, the Taoist way. By doiing n0thing one in fact does much. I suppose the LORD forbade ALL astrology, I am aware of this. If only would people (too late now since Jan 11th 2005) embrace astronomy, but that would lead them to TRUTH and eventually GOD by bypaths... People are usually not religious since they can not stand responsibility. The devil does not really care. They, the planet I mean, are slaves to them invisible inorganic now how many aeons> To desinslave them and set free by an article is a joyous utopia.

      The funny point is being aware of the paradox. Why am I talking to them when there are no astrologers there, perhaos yes Navajo, Hopi, but otherwise none sinnce 1776... with Eris in Pavo.. not even our masonic forefathers knew how to make a horoscope and apparently there was never a telescope at Grenwich, too. Now that we do have NASA we follow the idiots that followed their whims. We also respect them more than the experts who run Hubble etc...

      OK I should read the article first, LORD it;s sunny and besides who reads this? This is SIRIVS stuff, not some kind of astrology...

      GREETINGS TO THE LORD

      Here is an article that I found particularly enlightening in relation to many of the points you have brought up recently:
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/05048b.htm

      I apologize for not reading all of your long and interesting posts thoroughly until today.
      I found some extra time to myself and really dug into some of the issues you are bringing up.

      HE SAW THE WHOLE OF THE MOON

      I take you especially seriously because I think it is worse than foolish to do something forbidden by The Lord (my opinion).

      FEAR OF THE LORD IS WISDOM

      I haven't yet decided on what I think you are here to do - whether it is to sell books, to warn us of some dangers you see, or to just join in the general discussion and debate here on astrology.tribe.

      SOME ARE BOOKS E-BOOKS, THAT IS LIKE OLD ERIS STUFF 2005 BUT THE NEW STUFF IS MORE LIKE ANIMATED PRESENTATION OF THE ACVADEMIC ZODIAC
      YES I AM HERE TO SELL BOIOKS OF COURSE THAT IS MY PURPOSE
      I AM A MUSICIAN OTHERWISE AND ASTROLOGY IS BUT ONE OF THE 1008 HOBBIES I HAVE GOT
      PRESENTLY WORKING ON THE REFORMATION OF EGYPTIAN ASTRONOMY
      NOT DENDERAH BUT 35000 bc ESPECIALY EGYPTIAN SYNASTRY FOR WHICH MODESTLY I AM EXPERT
      BEING NOT SO MANY OF THEM WHO CARE FOR EGYPTIAN SYNASTRY, HUH.. OR ARE THERE ANY???

      I HAVE NO ONE TO DISCUSS

      I DISCUSS WITH PEOPLE WHO WROITE HAMLET MILLS ORION MYSTERY AND WHO DO SELL BOOKS LIKE ME IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THEIR RESEARCH
      ORION IS MUCH SPOKEN OFF
      PRESENTLY WE DABBLE IN TAURUS ORION DYNAMISM AT THE STARGATE
      BUT HER PC CRASHED AND I HAVE TO SEND HER A PROGRAM ALBATROS FOOD

      MY ONLY FRIENDS ARE WITHIN THE WALLS OF NASA JPL

      AND EVEN THERE ONLY ONE NOW THINKING


      But I welcome you as a member and the interesting questions you are bringing up.
      Here are some points I came up with just with my light and precursory study today.


      THANK YOU

      I WILL STOP SHORT, THAT IS I DO NOT INTEND TO STAY
      I USE TRIBE AS NOTEPAD SINCE I CAN NEVER FIND MY OWN ARTICLES

      IF you KEY IN SOMETHING LIKE

      PHOLUS 12TH NESSUS ASBOLUS LILIT VERA CASSINI VARUNA ERIS 313 IN GROUPS.GOOG.E.COM YOU WILL FIND MY ARTICLES THAT ARE THERE SIMPOLY BECAUSE I DO NOT CARRY THAT STUFF WITH ME

      THERE ARE NO STARS

      OMNIVERSE WILL BE FOLDED UP LIKE A SCROLL
      IT WAS ALL A TEMPORARY AFFAIR
      BOTH JEWS AND MUSLIMS HAVE THEIS VERY CLEAR AND IS ALSO IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
      THE VAULT IS PASSING AWAY AT THE CONSTELLATION OF ERIDANUS
      IT IS CALLED THE WMAP COLD SPOT -19 DECLINATION

      *We know that the stars themselves are not evil

      SOME ARE GOOD YES

      *We know that patterns exist in the cycles of heavenly bodies that correspond to cycles in human life. The biggest example I can think of is the moon and the female cycle.

      NOT ONLY HUMAN LIFE THOUGH

      IN FACT HUMAN LIFE MIGHT BE LESS IMPORTANBT THAN APPARENT
      THERE ARE OTHER BEINGS YOU ARE LIABLE TO MEET AND WHO HAVE ALREADY MET YOU
      THEY DO NOT PERTAIN TO THIS BUT TO THE PARALLEL DIMENSION AND YET THEY ARE HERE UNDER OUR NOSE HAHAHA

      CAPRICORNUS TECHNICALLY MEANT TO OPPOSE CANCER SHARES THE 28

      THEREFORE CONFLICT :|:|||

      WHERE ||| STANDS FOR SATURN AND :|: FOR MOON

      *We use simple cycles of sun and moon to mark time.
      *In the bible there were wise men who were not considered evil as far as I understood it and it seems they were astrologers because they were following a star.
      *Yet many methods of divination were used that certainly WERE forbidden

      *communicating with various spirits
      *lying to, fooling, and taking advantage of people using false knowledge
      *disregarding the importance of human freewill in attempts to predict the future

      THAT IS SERIOSU AND A GOOD INTERPRETATION OF WHAT IS WRITEN IN DARBY BIBLE


      Being reminded of this makes me half of a mind to just put astrology away and find some other topic to play with. There are many I could choose from and it might be most wise to just avoid astrology all together if it is so warned against historically by the Church.

      TO PUT ASTROLOGY AWAY IS THE BEST CHOICE

      BTW I CHING THINKS THAT PUTTING I CHING AWAY IS THE BEST CHOICE

      WHAT NEED FOR A RPOP WHEN YOU CAN WALK

      ECHOES CAN I?

      But it seems that modern technologies including computers, yes, have made the astrological patterns in the sky more accessible to the common person.

      TECHNOLOGY IS NOTHING NEW ON THIS OLD PLANET
      WE JUST MADE A STEP BACK, THATS ALL

      I notice strong patterns that intrigue me but I must admit they might be all in my head? But they are so strong!

      TWO WOLVES FIGHT
      WINS ONE YOU FEED

      I do not believe I am consulting spirits when attending to these patterns - unless my laptop is a spirit? I don't feel that the patterns have power over my free will to choose. I realize the uncertain nature of what I am noticing so I take it worth a grain of salt but maybe that is even dangerous?

      SPIRITS INTERPENETRATE OUR EXISTANCE
      HOW CAN WE AVOID THEM CREATIONS OF GOD?


      Clearly the moon marks cycles in mood corresponding to cycles in hormones.
      Why wouldn't other bodies correspond to other cycles - without the need for spirits or occult rites - just the aid of some technologies that allow us to mark these patterns and publish them more thoroughly and in more detail.

      DO NOT WORRY AND LET GOD ENGINEER THAT ELECTRON
      Just what are you trying to tell us?

      I AM TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANET
      REDEEM, THAT IS
      BUT AS THEY SAY; SAVE YOURSELF FIRST..
      THEN EVENTUALLY THE PLANET...

      BUT IT IS NOW TOO LATE IT WAS LATE FAR BEFORE 2005 AND IT IS LATE NOW
      THIS IS JUST MY OWN OBSERVATION
      PERHAPS A BIT INFLUENCED BY ALL THET MAYAN 2011 STUFF.. THOUGH
      I MIGHT EVEN BE SUPERSTUITIOUS

      *God forbade our commonly practice methods of astrology for some particular reason?

      PRECESSION

      ASCENDANTS CHANGE

      ABRAHAM COULD E.G. HAVE DRACO RISING
      I HAVE TO CHECK THIS .. BUT I AM SURE THAT
      A PHARAOH COULD HAVE LEPUS RISING

      TODAY YOU CAN HAVE ORION RISING ETC
      THAT IS ONE REASON TO BANISH CHALDEAN SHIT


      (Please explain more. I'd really like to know)
      *Our technologies are giving us inaccurate information and are lying to us/ misleading us? Perhaps even intentionally? But you have technologies that are clear of this misdirection?

      YES
      I SAY LIKE MORPHEUS YES you TOOK THE RED PILL
      BUT I CAN GIVE YOU NOTHING BUT NASA WELL PERHAOS A BIT OF ABORIGINAL TRUE SKIES

      THERE IS MENTION OF HOLES AND CONSTELATIONS IN THE BIBLE TOO
      ON ACCURATE INSPECTION IT IS A VERY SCIENTIFIC BOOK
      HARD TO ABSORB BUT
      NOT BAD MEDICINE

      *We should just read your books instead of asking you here?

      BECAUSE TO READ THAT STUFF ONE HAS TO BE VERY THOUGH AND FORGET ABOUT NEWTON KEPLER GREE AND EVEN BABYLONIAN STUFF

      *We are committing falsehoods when we pretend to know more than we are able to using western astrological methods and should be more humble and limited in the insights we seek from the patterns we are observing?

      THERE ARE NO WESTERN ASTROLOGICAL METHODS
      NOSTRADAMUS WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE POSITION OF THE SUN OR ASCENDNTA
      IN FACT I HAD TO REVISE THE HOROSCOPE FOR HIM
      DUE TO JUPITER URANUS BEING RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE ECLIPTIC AND THUS THEORETICALLY APPROACHING SAY 100 DEGREES AND SO-CALLED TRINE HE IS STIL LA TALENT BUT HE HAD OTHER OCCULT INTERESTS AND SURELY HAD TO ACCOUNT TO THE SAME LORD OF HIS FATHERS

      YOU KNOW WHICH LORD I AM TALKING OF



      I'm not trying to target you or be rude.
      I just think it seems like you might have something important to say and I think a lot of us are trying to understand you better.

      IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR MIND IS NOT YOUR OWN
      THEREFORE THIS MIND WHICH IS ALIEN GARBAGE IS PROGRAMMED TO DO THE WRONG
      THINGS

      PEOPLE OFTEN DO NOT KNOW WHY DO THEY DO THE WRONG THINGS

      I realize that I could have spent more than one day/ a few hours looking up the things you are referring to from various sources and studying your words even more carefully.
      But - this is a discussion group after all. Why not look just deeply enough to generate a few questions instead for discussion?

      YOU HAVE AN OBSERVATORY NEAR TO HOME
      PEOPLE LIVING IN CERTAIN PARTS OF AMERICA AND WORLDWIDE HAVE ACCESS TO
      ABORIGINAL WISDOM EVEN SKY MAPS
      PERHAPS WE FIND A MEDICINE MAN TO HEAL OUR INFINITE STUPIDITY THAT WILL DESTROY US AS RACE


      PARTICULARLUY HAMITIC RACE

      This is what I did. I apologize if my questions and small bit of research fail to do justice to what you are trying to say but I am interested to hear what you have to say. I think others are curious too.

        Interesting though that no bad karma was laid upon the visiting magi, I Ching 6#5 although the number 3 is not mentioned in the Bible. Besides every good Jew flew to Egypt. I must confess that when it comes to the Bible I am no wiser than anyone.

        Eris astrology-
        Is an individual's chart important or is it more mundane?
        if individuals have charts done where can they have them erected?
        Or does it always change with the current time and date.
        i am confused about the star maps you speak of -do you speak of a sky we are not looking at .
        I realize when we look in space the time and what we see is differnet now than what we are actually seeing-It is a lot to try reason for me if I think about it long enough.

          yes let us assume we are on planet earth so we do not complicate towards other local zodiacs

          so we are on earth and the zodiac does not change
          it is fixed 22 constellations in all
          the sun ventures through 13 of them plus perhaps two like cetus and more closely orion ok so 15 for the sun

          other planets have their own ways like moon in auriga or saturn in orion

          all clear until now? ok now the ascendants

          the ascendants CHANGE due to precession, this has been largely overlooked even by very old systems in fact it is hard to find records
          i was sarching and went into egyptian synastry back in 35000 bc but am still researching
          it is improbable that the kem people did not know precession

          europe never knew precession even after hipparchus
          so tiday we have 16 rising constellations, e.g. i have hydra/monoceros/canis minor rising, probably hydra but it is hard to tell in my case
          bush is canis minor, crowley is clearly hydra and so on

          5000 years ago the zodiac was the same but the rising constellations were not!
          thus yiu had e.g. lepus rising, a little thing below orion, or even aries rising

          aries, scorpius, capricornus atc etc dod not rise at due east today

          the meridian constellations are a much more involving as well as exausting study
          i reccomend studyying that after much work on the zodiac and rising an setting stars.
          for that matter people like vivian robson are of no help at all
          in fact they can confuse the seeker

          the individual chart is important
          what is a mundane chart?
          eerected like autonmatic erection like form or program???
          styudents share some programs and we are doing one slow prohject software at letherhead london
          there are scores of programs but you need an astronomic program
          i am in UNIX shell but there are windows programs
          takes time much time years, so ... take your time...

          that means changing one;s life completely and much trouble so stay with your stuff
          i do not reccomend the truth and science it is a difficult world already
          sounds bitter but is true
          sometimes people do not want truth ok?

          later on tehy infring copyright and sell it
          but at first they refute


          no the 22/16 set does not change but for e.g. hey let me think...
          i should trace the system back to determine when it changes, i never thought about doing this, not easy , though, not easy at all.. at one moment in time the set of ascendants changes, so you lose one gain two or.. i did not research this subject, needs lot of calc...

          hey great idea i-ll surely sniff out and find the changes i can automate the whole affair write a program and report
          i reformatted the zodiac many years ago and i have forgot most of the procedures thinking them obsolete after publishing .. the covers were the problem, not the books, ..

          hmmm yes well at the time of say NECHEPSO or whatever there were say 32 ascendants.. like DRACO or IPY ascending and so on
          normally KEM included all the sky

          today we speak of 88 ascendants
          am i , yes i am , must cut it out, well that was food for thought, ..

          ah yes the star maps are those that you get when you look at the sky
          once i saw the moon jupiter conjunction in orion they were above a cypress, Jupiter above the moon in Orion so that is how one observes by not using any projection, savvy?

          You can safely assume that you do not have Venus in Pegasus, but you can have it in Sextans or Hydra or Orion or Crater , well thats tricky or... Shakespeare has the weird MOON IN CORVUS perhaps puckish.. The 1970 generation has Pluto in Coma Berenices, Jupiter was in Ophiuchus in the year 2007, Saturn is just out of Orion, all programs will tell you that. Try Juan Antonio Revilla or just any planetarium as often availablewithin astroprograms. One warning: this is not sidereal or Vedic astrology, this is the real sky! youtube.com/watch

          Cats tend not to have routines, possessing true mind, the cats, I mean.
          The cats are all that is worth seeing on youtube...
          Those with routines are the type that ultimately become professors, boring guys with one reference only.
          The special type is the freedom tyrant. Crowley has the awful Mercury square Saturn, which stands for magick black. magick black is routine, insisting on freedom is yet another routine.
          The pack will perhaps wait for their Savior within the tend, since sheep tend to keep together and seldom ever stray.
          Routine kills when perused for too long. It is amazing how people stick to it, even Juan Antonio Revilla did not abandon the ways he KNOWS are wrong. Alois Treindl despite astrophysics is selling contradiction and superstition, the poor guy thinks it survival.
          People with routines impose them on and found schools where routines are officially assigned to victims.
          God has none. Even in the Bible it changes names and Moses asks who are You?
          Routine stems from false ego. True mind is free.

    My opinion -

    Claudio is a verbose true believer who wants to lead us out of the darkness and into his truth.

    And sell a bunch of books.

    By incessantly rattling on, combining diatribe with content, he is managing to fail at both tasks.

    He may have some good points, but few will ever dig through the verbage to find the gold.

    Sat, April 26, 2008 - 2:02 PM
    One very basic point claudio make relates to precession.

    The astronomical constellations have moved a considerable distance since Astrology was founded.
    As a result, what is physically in the sky no longer matches with an astrological chart.

    The astrological signs in common usage today are based on angular relationships within the Solar System; Aries beginning at the vernal equinox. If one could see the stars in daylight, one would not see the constellation Aries anywhere near the Sun at the Vernal Equinox, when it is supposed to be entering Aries. (!)

    One is left with two choices:

    (1) The stars define the signs.
    Therefore, the dates for the signs in use is wrong. The signs in use are incorrect, and any similarity between the characteristics of a person born on the Vernal Equinox and the sign Aries is purely coincidental,

    (2) The angular relationships within the Solar System define the signs.The stellar constellations were used by the ancients because they had nothing else available. The stars have nothing to do with Astrology.
    The signs in use are correct, and the characteristics of a person born on the Vernal Equinox corresponds to those of the sign Aries.

    I personally favor choice number two. But, there is some fallout. If we have determined the stars themselves have nothing to do with Astrology, then the so-called "fixed" stars( not really fixed, after all) do not belong in the system.

    What a hoot.

      That is interesting, Edward.

      I wonder if the characteristics associated originally with aries was somehow a combination of the stars/constellations and the angular relationships in the solar system.

      I know that I have never really considered taking those fixed stars into account myself.
      I just added them to the pile of undiscovered asteroids and angles that we have not yet learned about (or have forgotten) creating a general fudge-factor.

      I see our current division of 12 signs cycled throughout a year coming from the relationship between the cycle of the sun and the cycles of the moon. I had critically wondered about this about a month ago ... why the system we use? Why 12? Why 30 degrees?
      That was the reason I thought of - the phases of the cycle of the moon compared with the sun.

      So what we have wrong today is the fact that we are not taking into account the constellations correctly then?
      But the cycles of the planets compared to each other throughout a year aren't off are they?

      So could a person just remove the 12 signs and add the real positions of the various constellations and their meanings instead?
      All of a sudden western astrology seems soooo tied into the moon. The 12 divisions in a year, the focus on the nodes of the moon ... interesting.



      I might drop astrology all together.
      I need to pray about it.
      I am especially suspicious of myself about the part where you read more into things than what you could actually know in reality and letting them upset you or confuse you.
      I am remembering a Psalm now:
      "Oh Lord, my heart is not proud, nor are my eyes haughty; I busy not myself with great things, nor with things too sublime for me. Nay rather I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child. Like a weaned child on its mother's lap. [so is my soul within me.] O Israel, hope in the Lord, both now and forever." - Psalm 131


      And ... I have had strange waking dreams about some time in the future when the internet in general started getting used for massive misdirection and population control in some really wicked ways so as to be rendered untouchable by those who wish to be free of its viral and inconspicuous mind control at the will of an evil mastermind that I won't name.
      For some reason Claudio's comments are making me remember that stuff a whole lot for lots of reasons.

      But what can I say about my imagination sometimes haha!
      It's just out there!!!

      And anyway, I can find many more reasons than my imagination for spending less time "online" haha.
      I don't need it.

        "might drop astrology all together. I need to pray about it.

        Wise words - Do not read too much into anything which is by nature symbolic. No certitude will be found therein. Suggestions, tendencies, viable probabilities, yes; but nothing upon which the mortgage should be bet.

        What the Lord requires of you is to do justice, love mercy/kindness, and walk humbly with your God”
        (There are variations - kindness/mercy translates the Hebrew hesed, which is not easily translated to a single word.)

        On Astrology, let's try these statements:

        The characteristics associated originally with Aries were the angular relationships in the solar system which were assigned to a particular combination of the stars/constellations then present in the sky. Today we are not taking into account the placement of the constellations because they were only symbolic to begin with.

        The Signs, the twelve divisions cycling throughout the year, arise from the cycle of the sun, as seen in the Equinox and Solstice points. The division into twelve sign in all arise via the cycles of the moon. (There are biological, tidal, etc. monthly cycles)

        The cycles of the planets compared to each other throughout a year are correctly represented. Assume an Astrological chart is calculated for a future date with Jupiter above the horizon after dark. On that date the chart is used - taped to the degree wheel - to set a telescope; Jupiter will be seen through the eyepiece. (With the proper declination, of course.)

        The asteroids are a mixed bag. The first few found were rather large and fortuitously named. The total discovered by March,2008 is 181,681, which includes one (my favorite) named "Sinatra". Major asteroids "Minor Planets" number about 25. Including them makes a vast "general fudge-factor".

        Whew! Makes me tired thinkin' about it.

                "early astrology was constelations -you knew which constellation you were born under "

                Which is not, in of itself, proof that it was the constellations that created the astrological influence here on earth.

                A friend of mine once likened this to a clock at a train station, in a city where the trains always run on time.
                If you look at the clock, and it says 2:59, and the train comes in on schedule at 2:59, the clock did not cause the train to be there. It only happens to tell us what the time is. Likewise, the constellations the ancients looked at were the clock that told them what the influence was when the Sun, Moon, or planet was in that part of the sky, but they were not necessarily the cause of the influence.

                And here, a few thousand years later, the constellations have shifted to a different part of the sky in relation to the Sun's path, so the Vernal Equinox is no longer at zero Aries in the constellation of that name. But the Vernal Equinox is still the Vernal Equinox, still the mark of the beginning of the new season, and in Tropical Astrology, the beginning of Aries.

                Stars may always have had, and still have, an influence, though. And you will find many a Tropical astrologer who also uses some fixed stars in their work. I am one of these, when I see a fixed star conjunct or opposition, closely, something in the chart. Some of these fixed stars bear little resemblance to the overall nature described in sidereal astrology of the constellation they are a part of. For example, in the constellation Leo there is a star called Adhafera, which is considered unfortunate, and traditionally described as indicating crime, lying and stealing, suicide, not things one would ordinarily associate with proud Leo. Or Polis, in the constellation Sagittarius, with a description that includes martial desires, high ambitions, domination (sounds more like Scorpio/Capricorn to me than Sag.)

                William Lilly, a noted historical astrologer, made sure to include Fixed Stars in his Horary charts, although he was definitely a Tropical Astrologer. And most astrologers today who do horary do look to see if a Fixed Star appears significant by its proximity to planetary signficators.

                In any event, I'm not saying Sidereal Astrology is invalid. I know some astrologers who get excellent results from Sidereal. And some of the stars are very significant when placed in a Tropical chart, so the stars specifically are important. But it may not be the sidereal constellations themselves that caused the influence the ancients observed....they may have only been the 'numbers on the celestial clock' to tell the ancients what part of the sky the planets were in, and when they shifted in relation to the Sun's path, the signs in relation to the Sun's journey did not go with them....i.e. the Vernal Equinox did not stay with zero degrees of the constellation Aries.

              The beginning of the word starts with the letter "khet" which is hard to translate into text. Many people transilerate it into "Chesed" with you may find if you look it up in babblefish.

              As far as the verse saying to "love mercy" I see it in at leat two ways. One is to remember and to love the grace (unmerited or unearned favour) that was given to us.

              Another is to love to show it and give it to others, just as we have received. And you will find that when you give, more is given unto you.

                Love mercy is a fist? A closed fist that shows... hmm very poetical and impractical, ... Are we on the TREE yet??

                Someone here says thet the Tree pof Life A'aTz ChIIM derives from Egyptian schemes. I am highly strung to your line of thought although Chesed has been degraded to mere "uranian" symbolism. It surely has more galactic meaning like most of those pyramids and stuff. There is a galactic ascedant in the horoscope and also an ecliptic one, so the U.S.A. are defined like this (with due variants)

                Ascendant Serpens Cauda
                Galax Cygnus
                Ecliptic ascendant Ophiuchus

                The eastern ascendant ,thoiuhh could be Aquila, which is rather appropriate! Jung has this ascendant (ADLER!!!).
                UPS only now I see the icon, you are a bald eagle!!!

                Yes we need not translate,. either you know or you interpret and reckon, knowledge has nothing with thinking and classifyiing, like Franz Bardon there lava.net/pagios but knowledge does not ask. How can you know by asking? That would be absurd. The more you ask the greater fool you become, like all of us on Internet, googling for luck ahaha.

                Left hand mercy or ward, right hand severity, to sever, cut |:: therefore Mars 90 Jupiter the worst aspect of all, 180 even worse!

                  Where do you get a fist from what I have said? Khesed is more like an open hand extended to lend a helping hand.

                  Translation is needed, as I could speak to you in Hebrew and it would be unprofitable for you as you would not understand unless you asked for an interpretation.

                  James 1:5
                  5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

                        There are 200 Bibles download able, even Arabian, etc, Vulgata, .. one can inspect. The nature or NTR of the LORD is not so easy understandable since it requires true mind. A grain of truth, sincerity, modesty and awe. Usually these lack due to ego infatuation. We always tend to be very clever, wiser than alleged pronunciation allegedly lost. Nothing is lost for one who will gain it all. Or regain. The path has no words, crosswords or linear bondage. The path is you ans it can be very oversimple. Just do it.

                        P.S.

                        The LORD ios a way of sayng, the Bible starts with feminine plural, then there is a rendition for the other tribe and then God improvises his names but there is one central. In Darby it is Jehovah. IHVH are the four elements of the horoscope, but there is a fifth IHShVH, the redeemer and 5th element.

My interest is simple: is using astrology an error, or is it just usiung the wring astrology an error. Since astrology as i general use today has really nothing to do with the real sky, it is best not to use it. This is very logical to me, but I discovered that it is not logical to many. If astronomy is legal, and by all biblical standards it is even encouraged, why not use astronomy? Isn't it a bit silly to die thinking you had an astrological life, never knowing that you were a Virgo, not a Scorpio. Thuis silly error happened to many famous astronomers, not to speak of infamous astrologers, European but also Indian. I am not speaking about sidereal astrology. I am speaking of the real sky.
