I've been stewing on this for a few months and now I'm finally opening on a thread on the topic.
Has anyone have experience using the 12th parts in prognostication and prediction? If so, what have you found with using them, and would you recommend they be used more often.
Here are a series of articles pertaining to the 12th parts/dodecatemoria -

It is mentioned that it was an ancient opinion that the 12th parts are on par with natal placements, and that a lot of apparent discrepancies are cleared up when they are factored in.
Alice McDermott as a modern proponent of dwads has greatly raised the techniques flag, emphasizing its importance despite the apparent unimpressive way these secondary placements are derived. Although the inheritor of this heritage, she would not be classified as a traditional astrologer.
There was a recent discussion on the forum in regard to twins. Alice McDermott has advanced that dwads help to differentiate the character and destiny of twins. Obviously this would be mostly relevant to the dwad of the ascendant.
If you are just hearing about 12th parts and you are the type who is intrigued by any new astrological technique that you could explore and potentially add to your process, I believe this is a good candidate to investigate.
Happy to open the floor for any participation on the matter.
