I feel like this is something that is very rarely talked about in the traditional community and I feel like it's something that newcomers to the field are probably wondering:
How exactly does one read a traditional astrological text?
It sounds simple enough; open up the cover (or the pdf document) and just read. But it's not that simple and anyone who has tried to read through one of these things knows that simply reading through a text will end with one being confused, be it Firmicus, Bonatti, or Lilly.
My question to more seasoned traditional astrologers is: how do you recommend that someone new to traditional astrology read and study traditional texts? They can't be approached like modern texts (due to differences and language) leading to a common trend of confusion.
