The idea of this thread came about when I was reminiscing about a former poster on here who was very vehement about Ptolemy being the originator of western astrology, especially of its traditional practitioners. Her expressed purpose was to reform astrology into what she believed to be a better system. She was an Italian, and that might have had a lot to do with her opinion as I am vaguely aware of a set of traditional astrologers in Italy who uses Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos and the approach found therein in their chart delineation.
Last year, Kiril Stoychev who is the chairman of the Bulgarian Astrological Association, posted an alternative perspective on exaltations on the forum - which can be found at this link - http://astrohoroscope.info/stoycheff/?p=269
Jean Baptiste Morin de Villefranche, mathematician and astrologer, was the author of Astrologiae Gallicae, or French Astrology. According to this article, his work is the basis of many French and Spanish practitioners, although most in the English speaking world have never heard of him. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/morin.html
There is a poster on here from Scandinavia, who reports that there has been a lot of research done on black moon lilith within the astrology community of their native land.
These are all examples of astrological developments and personalities who exist and practice outside of the English speaking world, and who importantly , also fall under the umbrella of "western astrology". I'd like for this thread to be a space where people can share astrological knowledge that has its origins outside of English speaking countries and cultures. The net is cast sufficiently wide enough to incorporate traditional and more modern techniques, important personages who might not have been astrologers but have produced works which have had influences on astrological practice or anything that can be linked back to how western astrology is practiced outside the anglosphere.
