Introduction to Hellenistic Astrology Part I - Zodiac

The zodiac completes a sidereal cycle in 23.93446 hours.


The image of the Water-Pourer is masculine, diurnal, solid, watery, human
servile, eloquent, semi-infertile, handsome, standing and of the east wind.
It indicates inquiries, affairs, crafts, water and property.
Depending on the placement of the houseruler
men born under the influence of Aquarius are burdened, envious, lying
occasionally generous because of the uncontrollable flow of the Water-Pourer
craftsmen, public, mystical, youthful, delicate, with beautiful figure and eyes
smooth hair, dizzy, beautiful manners, white, working with hard materials, troubled by athletic training
artisans, wealthy, malicious, haters of their own families, incorrigible
making living by waterside places, betrayers of reputation and truth
accusers, haters of mankind, godless and uncontrollable.
Domicile of Saturn, it controls the lower legs, the skeletal system,
the lymphatic system and the immune system.
It causes blindness on account of the water.
It is like-empowered with Libra, like-ascending with Pisces
and like-engirding with Capricorn, short in the Northern Hemisphere and tall in the Southern Hemisphere.
It is wintry, cold and moist for the north
and summery, hot and dry for the south.
Aquarius obeys Aries for the north and commands it for the south.
Aquarius controls Sauromatica, Oxiana, Sogdiana, Arabia, Azania and Middle Ethiopia.
The left hand and the head are rising up to the 7th degree, the body and the right hand up to the 13th
the pitcher up to the 20th, the water up to the 25th
and the falling water up to the 30th.

The first 7° belong to Mercury - mastery, lovers of wisdom
The next 6° belong to Venus - friendships with great women
The next 7° belong to Jupiter - notable, some are winners of games
The next 5° belong to Mars - lawsuits, injuries, some die violent deaths
The final 5° belong to Saturn - education, grief in youth

Shoulders, Left Arm and Cloak - Saturn and Mercury
Thighs - Mercury and moderately Saturn
Water - Saturn and moderately Jupiter



Such, then, are the observations of the effects of the stars
as made by our predecessors.

computer generated Tropical Chart differs by DEGREE OCCUPIED BY THE MOON

there is a minimum difference of 20° up to a maximum of approximately 24°

ANY planet at 0° OF any TROPICAL SIGN
is SIDEREALLY between approximately 6° - 10°
to a maximum 24° of the PREVIOUS SIGN

I've been advocating for an additional, MAJOR feminine deity in our astrological "pantheon" of "archetypes"--Urania, Greco-Roman Goddess of the Heavens and Muse of astrology, in place of the current, standard masculine version--Ouranos/Caelus/ "Uranus", as Modernistic Domicile-ruler of Aquarius. I can make a good etymological case for it, going back to ancient Sumerian/Egyptian/Babylonian roots [IMO].
As far as the actual names we use for Sign-rulership, there's really only ONE major feminine ruler, Venus. As J.A. just pointed out in the previous post, the actual word "Moon" is generic, same root as the word "month", a passage of time. The word "Sun" is also generic, so there are currently 7 masculine + only 1 feminine, inclusive of Mercury through Pluto in Modernistic astrology.

Introduction to Hellenistic Astrology Part I - Zodiac

The zodiac completes a sidereal cycle in 23.93446 hours.


The image of the Fishes is feminine, nocturnal, double-bodied, watery, submerged,
notable, silent, fertile, passionate, missing limbs, polycentric, two-coloured,
swimming, mossy, motile, lying and of the west wind.
It indicates governorship, travel, wealth, water, summons and plots,
those who become endowed with genius, unsteady, trustworthy,
those who are full of ideas, the philosophers, commanders of the fleets, traders,
hound-leaders, hunters, seamen, fowlers, bird-keepers and business expediters.

Depending on the placement of the houseruler, men born under the influence of Pisces
are small, disproportioned and awkward, complicated because of the directions of the Fishes,
changeable, restless, mystical, slight, wandering, popular, slightly sallow,
delicate, with ruddy head, fish eyes, beautiful hair, soft hands,
bright voice and white.
Domicile of Jupiter, exaltation of Venus, depression of Mercury, it controls the feet,
the reproductive system, the digestive system and the integumentary system,
and it indicates skin diseases on account of the rough skin.
It is equinoctial, like-empowered with Virgo, like-ascending with Aquarius
and like-engirding with Sagittarius, short in the Northern Hemisphere
and tall in the Southern Hemisphere.
It is vernal, hot and moist in the north, and autumnal, cold and dry in the south.

Pisces controls Phazania, Nasamonitis, Garamantica, Lydia, Cilicia and Pamphylia.
The southern fish head and the southern fish body are rising up to 12th degree,
the southern tail up to the 16th degree, the southern cord up to the 19th,
the northern fish up to the 28th, and the bond up to the 30th.
The first 12° belong to Venus - fertile, jealousy, with many enemies
The next 4° belong to Jupiter - advancement, elevation, commanding
The next 3° belong to Mercury - intelligence, well-grown, highly frivolous
The next 9° belong to Mars - violent, excessive, with many accusations
The final 2° belong to Saturn - virtuous, wise, dominant

Head of the Southern Fish - Mercury and moderately Saturn
Body of the Southern Fish - Jupiter and Mercury
Southern Tail and Cord - Saturn and moderately Mercury
Body of the Northern Fish - Jupiter and moderately Venus
Northern Cord - Saturn and Jupiter
Bond - Mars and moderately Mercury

Such, then, are the observations of the effects of the stars
as made by our predecessors.

The moment I looked at Ed Gein's chart, I had to let out a laugh. Have you ever had a chart that just hit you in the face with it's major problem/"guiding principle"?
I'm not sure what you saw in his chart. Care to elaborate?

When I opened his chart the first thing I did was to look for things that shows psychotic tendency and an overattachment to the home. And I think I saw something. IC's ruler right in 4H and sextile Jupiter in 1H. There's also Sun/Saturn too but Saturn also trine Jupiter and Jupiter is exalted. His attachment to his family is showing. Saturn could indicate a stern upbringing, especially when it also squares Moon. Pluto/Moon also adds to the obsession. As for psychotic tendency, could be lord of 12H squaring Neptune and trining Pluto. Well that's all I see.
