Calculating Hyleg and Alcoccoden

[Kallinike]

Hi Guys, I hope you are doing great : )

I was wondering if you could help me calculate my Hyleg and Alcoccoden after Bonatti or other? I am still a beginner and cannot come to any conclusion by hand. Unfortunately I do not have a profi software yet : (

If someone is willing to help, I would send him/her my chart. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I can help you find Hyleg/Apheta according to Ptolemy's rules, though he does not use Alcocoden.

You can find free software with traditional and modern primary directions here:

If you mean a software finding a hyleg for you, I advise against doing that. You want to understand the theory behind the choice.

Hello Petosiris, thank you very much. I already understood that my Hyleg is the Moon. Now I am trying to find the Alcoccoden. Unfortunately I cannot find any planet, that forms a Ptolemaic aspect to the Hyleg and has a dignity at its place. Could someone advise me what to do in this case?

Exactly - although software has its uses - it also has its limitations

Is the time given by birth certificate?

By Ptolemy's rules, the Hyleg has to be in 1st, 7th, 9th, 10th or 11th house, so in your chart, it has to be the Ascendant or the Lot of Fortune, and most likely the latter since it takes precedence.

Ptolemy does not use Alcocoden, so another member specializing in Medieval may reply about it. It really depends on whose method you want to use.

petosiris has mentioned Ptolemys rules

that Moon being in 2nd eliminates it as hyleg
so
According to PTOLEMYS RULES
your hyleg must then be either Ascendant
or
Lot of Fortune
and petosiris is likely to assist you with determining which of those
according to that particular set of rules
is the Hyleg

so now confirmation is required as to whether the time given is by birth certificate or not

meanwhile BONATTI uses what he terms the ALMUDEBIT

The Almudebit is the planet with the most dignity in the following places:

(a) The degrees of the four angles.

(b) The Rulers of the four angles.

(c) The Triplicity Rulers of the four angles.

(d) The Sun.

(e) The Moon.

(f) Ruler of the Sun sign.

(g) Ruler of the Moon sign.

(h) The Part of Fortune.

(i) the Ruler of the Part of Fortune.

(j) The Ruler of the conjunction (New Moon before birth)
or Prevention (Full Moon before birth)
whichever lunation occurred prior to birth.

The planet or planets that have the most dignity by

Ruler = 5

Exaltation = 4

Triplicity = 3

Term = 2

and

Face = 1
was called by Bonatti the Almudebit.

The Differentia grading was then determined
by numerous considerations of the Almudebit

Hi Guys, in my country the time of birth is not written in the birth certificate. The time in the chart is according to 3-4 rectifications.

A professional astrologist wrote me that the Moon is the Hyleg, according to the method of Bonatti and not Ptolemys. He also mentioned that my Alcoccoden is Venus.

astrologers all have different opinions
it is useful to study the method
and decide for oneself

Yes, this is what I am trying to do : )
