This one stumps me.
Say I have a perfecting conjunct aspect between two significator a (ex: sun and Saturn), but before the aspect can be completed, another planet (Mercury) makes an aspect to the first planet (the sun) and THEN the second planet (Saturn).
I was under the impression that, technically yes, the faster moving planet is making an aspect first, but since the next planet it aspects is also a significator, it “passes along” the energy.
Then I read the post by Dr. Lee ( http://leephd.blogspot.com/2006/07/encyclopedia-entry-on-horary-astrology.html?m=1) and it’s like everything I thought I knew turned on it’s head. This is what is said in regards to prohibition:
“ Prohibition: the Significators are moving to perfection, but a swifter body intervenes and completes aspects with both bodies first.”
Can some more experienced astrologers weigh in? The key word that tripped me up was “both”, as in an aspect is completed with BOTH bodies. I thought that prohibitions were something like “the intervening planet redirects the energy by aspecting one body and then yet another, unrelated, planet”.
Did I miss something in Lilly, Frawley, and others?
