The I.C. and the Part of Strategy.

Last week on January2nd, I alost a bit too much money gambling at a casino.
I know better than to get myself in such a fix but every once in a while I do go overboard a bit.
It left me short of cash to pay the full rent and as the late fee went up $20 to $50 on the first, coupled with the fact I have extra bills to pay this month, etc. I got a little bit desperate.

I had a bit of luck playing the "Daily Three" lottery here in Calif. a few times recently and just a couple of months ago managed to get all three in the correct order for a sizable sum for a one dollar bet. But i did play $20 on it buying all quick picks in the straight/box manner (fifty cents goes to bet each way, i.e. Straight and Box)

So, I took $60 and tried my hand.
First let me explain my understanding of the game and odds.
There are 1000 possibilities from 000 to 999. There are ten ways three of the same numbers can come up, 330 ways that two fo the same number and one different number can come up in combination, and 660 ways that three entirely different numbers can come up.

The winning number was 436. I had 436 as well as 364.
For a "Straight" bet it paid $767. For a "Box" bet it paid $122. As I had fifty cents each way I got $445 for the "Straight/Box" bet that was in the correct, i.e. "Straight", order and $61 for the one that came up as "Box Only".
$60 risked to win $506 for a net profit of $446.
Saved my behind, is what it did.

As I had to buy something at the cash register in order to break the hundred dollar bill I had, as the drugstore only has a self service terminal, I had the receipt for the time just prior to my buying those tickets.

I cast a chart for about two minutes later.

As I am at my limit for file sharing and photobucket suddenly requiring a subscription of over $100 a year I regret I can't show the chart. But you can cast one and see for your self if you wish too.

As I wrote to Phoenix Venus about this I'll save myself a bit of trouble and just copy and paste what I found on the chart.

...as follows...

...As I bought a few items at the store just a minute or two before I bought the lottery ticket I had the exact time on the register receipt and cast a chart last night.
The time was ripe with potential.

Check it out if you wish to?

Jup conj Asc by 06" - '7", Pt Destiny by 43', Pt Obstruction by 30' and Pt Slander by 41'
Mars conj. Asc by apprx 01' 39' and the other aforementioned Pts too
The Pt of Fort. of the chart conj. my Pt Commerce/Passion by 59' and Pt Liberty by 21' 46"
The Asc. conj. Pt of Ideal Love and Pt Lovers and square my M.C. and Pt Fortune (and Desc. too)
Moon conj my Part of Transformation of Others Minds by 27' and Pt of Ancestral Heritage by 36'
Juno conj Pt of Omens & Signs by 34'
Ceres conj. Pt of Fascination by 13"
Pluto conj Pt of Repression by 15' and Pt of Slyness by 25' (How "Sly" was that?)
The I.C. conj my Pt Strategy by by apprx 17' (Strategy that paid off, if I may say so?)

Mercury and 8th Cusp conj my Part Marriage Partner by less than 01°
and Uranus conj Pt of Wedding Contracts by 12"
That the Pt of Ideal Love, Pt Lovers, Part of Marriage Partners and Pt of Wedding Contracts were all in the mix is kind of interesting... but I don't know what to make of it?


I had gambled in one of the Indian Casinos during the night, lost a bit too much $ and was kicking myself for being so stupid as to go there to begin with thinking I could win anything.
I was a bit desperate when I got back home. Lilith is conj. my Pt of Disappointments... so this may have to do with the chart axis more than anything planetary. As it took me about 20 to 25 minutes to walk to the drugstore, buy a couple of items, and then buy the lottery ticket it may be about WHEN I decided to buy that ticket as my Pt of Luck is at 11° Leo 49'
D Anthony
...or maybe it is because I prayed for it...?
Just the same
HARIBOL...!


I followed that message up wit this one I made this morning...
...as follows...

Looking over that message I wrote you concerning my win in thae lottery last week I am drawn to the following:
The I.C. conj. my Pt. of Strategy by apprx 17' (Strategy that paid off, if I may say?)"
...and I want to say so again... in that it is a chart of inquiry about a mundane manner and though it was after the fact it, in retrospect, it could have been used as a horary. Since the I.C. is the "HOW" of a mundane chart then maybe it would stand to reason that when that occurs daily it is a good time to initiate a preplanned initiative?


So, there you have it.
As the time cast for the chart was a bit arbitrary as to what the exact second of time that I bought the tickets but, regardless, 17' of a degree off of a perfect conjunction is a matter of about only 30 seconds in time.

Observations and opinions are more than welcome here...especially any observations as to the fact.:biggrin:

...winner, winner, chicken dinner...:love:

I should clarify that the Astrological Parts used were those taken from my natal chart and not the event chart.
If anyone wishes to know the time and place to cast a chart it is Jan 2, 2018 at 1:40 P.M. in Folsom, Calif.

P.S. the Part of Strategy is derived from: Asc. + Pluto - Mars

The following is extracted from Al Biruni's text The Book of Instruction in the Elements of the Art of Astrology, (written at Ghaznah, 1029 AD), following the R. Ramsay Wright translation (1934).
Verse 476. Other Lots than Part of Fortune
Ptolemy recognized only one Part of Fortune
but others have introduced an excessive number
of methods of casting lots at nativities.
We reproduce in tables those which Abu Ma'shar has mentioned.

Yeah, if you wish to remain in the "Dark Ages" by all means consult what Abu Ma'shar mentioned.

Even Abu didn't understand what the Part of Hyleg truly signifies or how to use/consult it. That only became clear with the application of the Sabian Symbols as interpreted by Dane Rudhyar.

In addition, Abu and his ilk only knew of the planets visible to the naked eye yet the trans-Saturnian planets have proven themselves to be of effect astrologically along with all Parts/Lots that utilize them.

...moving along here into the 21st Century.:biggrin:

In addition, Al Birini never demonstrated any working knowledge of many of the techniques He recorded. He traveled through India learning of these techniques but never comprehended as to why they are used or, really, for what purpose either... the Part of Hyleg being a prime example.
He merely was little more than that of a scribe.
