CONDITIONS RELATIVE TO THE SUN:


When a planet is in the interval from heliacal rising up to first station

or
from second station up to the heliacal setting
the planet is capable of appearing

and
therefore is in a place conducive to the conduct of its business .

The heliacal rising of a star
or other body
such as the moon, a planet or a constellation
occurs when it first becomes visible above the eastern horizon
for a brief moment just before sunrise
after a period of time when it had not been visible :smile:




When a planet is making a Station and/or phasis
it is not only capable of appearing but is also intensified



Robert Schmidt - fluent Ancient Greek Classics Scholar :smile:
says that Phasis means

“...making an appearance...”

or

“...sudden dramatic showing of something...”


It can also mean

“...something that speaks...”

or
we can say that it means “...an appearance that speaks...”



PHASIS

describes a planet making a heliacal rising

aka rising before the sun :smile:


standardized to 15 degrees by Hellenistic astrology
- within 7 days before of after native’s birth.
Rumen Kolev one of the few living practitioners of Ancient Babylonian Astrology
based on his own observations of the skies
states that the 15[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]º[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] standardisation[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif] is obviously a variable dependent upon local conditions.[/FONT]

http://www.babylonianastrology.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=44




When any planet is “...under the sun’s beams...”

i.e.
within 15 ecliptic degrees of the sun
the planet is considered not capable of conducting its business
due to being “...drained or unempowered...”


However
there are modifications to this

such as
if a planet is in its Exaltation
own terms

or own bounds

or dignity
then

the planet is considered to be “...in its own chariot...”

and therefore
“...protected and/or shielded..”

from the potential '...harm...' of combustion.


ROBERT SCHMIDT - PROJECT HINDSIGHT http://www.projecthindsight.com/

provides analogy of "...travelling in own limo with shaded windows ..."




ROBERT SCHMIDT - PROJECT HINDSIGHT http://www.projecthindsight.com/


When a planet
is in the interval
of first station to second station

aka retrograde
the planet is not fit to conduct its business
because it is described as “...walking backwards...” :smile:

Mercury is much lower in the dawn
some 22° to Venus's lower left.

SATURN emerges from the sunrise glare :smile:
conjunction with Mercury on the morning of March 2nd
when they're only 0.7° apart.
Mercury that morning is the brighter one
Saturn glimmers to its upper left.

NATURE OF SATURN SOLE DOMICILE RULER OF AQUARIUS :smile:


'...He does not easily get angry
and if he were angry
he would not be able to rule his own mind.
He wishes good to no one.


And he signifies old men
and weighty men
and burdens and fear, griefs
and sorrow and the complication of the mind.
And fraud and affliction and difficulty and loss;
also ancestors and what is left behind by the dead
mourning, and being orphaned, and old things.
Even grandfathers and fathers and brothers
and senior people and slaves
and mule drivers and men who are blamed
and robbers and those who dig up graves
and who rob the garments of the dead.



And fitters of leather and those who blame things.
He signifies magicians and masters of discord
and low-class men and eunuchs.
and a scarcity of speaking
and the knowledge of secrets
and one does not know what is in his mind
nor does a wise person make disclosures to him
about every obscure matter
And he signifies austerity and the ascetics of religions....'
[From Gr. Intr. VII.9.1390-1423]

...............doesn't Saturn sometimes give great wealth and power to nativities
and doesn't he sometimes cause great afflictions?

Yes, of course
but that has to do with his harmonious or disharmonious relationship
with the planet/angle/lot
through the different aspects
and natures of the subjects.

So

combining essential and accidental dignity
into the same concept
does not prevent us from making these distinctions
while I would argue that too much emphasis
on the essential dignity could prevent someone
making this distinction in the particular cases

- for example when it helps rank with trine to the Sun
from Aquarius by day, but

causes divorce
with square to the Moon in a dual sign in a male nativity
Aquarius is not going to help the first and mitigate the latter
I argue that is going to increase
and
actualize the effects of both.

Powerful Saturn at the nativity
does not mean that it will give only very good or very evil at all times
(though it certainly can exceed in one direction)
if you use the recasting of horoscopes at solar and lunar revolutions
planets change their powers
which allows for differentiation in the chronocratorship.

You can't make this important differentiation
if you only use primary directions, profections or what have you
with the nativity though.

Saturn on Ascendant typically means you are reserved or your expression of self-expression is hindered in some way. MC in Aquarius probably means you'd be good at Agriculture or traditional Saturnian fields. I would say technology, but that's more a modern astrological idea due to Aquarius's modern affiliation with Uranus.
I totally agree with Saturn being ruler of technology.

All,

HELLENISTIC ASTROLOGY uses CHRONOCRATORS


Chrono = Time

aka TIME RULERS
aka TIME LORDS

Valens explains in Book Seven that
there can be - and often are - at any one time, several Time Lords
and so

according to Valens if these Time Lords are all benefics
the judgement is for a beneficial year.
but if these TIME LORDS are all benefics mixed with malefics as well
then the judgement is for a mixed year
If these TIME LORDS are all malefics judgement is for a difficult year

TRADITIONALLY

SATURN is SOLE DOMICILE RULER of AQUARIUS :smile:

Traditional astrology is rooted in a world view that is much more deterministic or fate-based.

In traditional astrology you are not so much looking to ‘...transcend...’ your chart
as to understand
or divine
(divin-ation, learning the will of the divine)
your place in the overall order.
I think of it as aligning yourself with the order of the universe
and
how you happen to fit in it.....

....Traditional astrology places a heavy emphasis
on evaluating the condition of planets
sometimes fortunate and sometimes very unfortunate.

Also, some planets are naturally helpful or benefic
for example Traditionally


Jupiter aka The Greater Benefic is "...naturally helpful..."

some are naturally disruptive or malefic.
for example

Traditionally
SATURN aka The Greater Malefic is "...naturally unhelpful..." "...naturally disruptive..."

In traditional astrology all charts are not created equal
and not all planets are equally effective
some people are, if you will, fated for success, or good marriages or wealth
and some are fated to have rough lives in different ways.
So traditional astrology is much more focused towards a realistic evaluation of a chart
and how it works out in your life.
Traditional astrology does not ignore
or
gloss over
difficult or negative aspects of the chart.
....I have found that learning traditional astrology
has forced me to really think through
and come to terms with what I think is going on
when I read a chart for someone.

—–

In traditional astrology a planet in the 10th has nothing to do with capricorn
and a planet in Taurus has nothing to do with money.



.... signs in traditional astrology are used mostly as environments
within which the various planets can function
sometimes effectively, sometimes ineffectively.

The most important facts about the sign are
where is the ruler of that sign
and what shape is it in
and what planets are in that sign
and what shape are they in.




No Sign is intrinsically strong or weak.
It is made so by the planets in it

or

the lack thereof,
and

by its position amidst the house cusps.

Just for example

as the mutable water sign
we might see Pisces as "...weak..."
but if

someone has Pisces in the 10th house

with the MC, sun and Jupiter - domiciled there

with Jupiter trining the - domiciled moon in Cancer,

Pisces has strength in this situation.
Much more so than the sun intercepted in Scorpio - fixed water

in 12th house.
You get the picture.


There is no such thing as a weak sign.

There are weak placements

but no weak signs.

Signs are neutral.


They have descriptions, sure, like human, mute, violent, bestial,

fertile, barren, crooked, long ascending, and on and on,

but at the end of the day
THE SIGNS ARE NEUTRAL.

IT'S THE PLANETS

both in and that rule them
THAT BRING SIGNS TO LIFE

TROPICAL Astrological SIGNS are distinct from the CONSTELLATIONS

with which over centuries, they were conflated :smile:
Originally, SIGN meant simply "...a Sign of the SEASON..."
because
SIGNS were basically a Calender of the Seasons
which followed the Seasonal Path of the Sun on the Ecliptic


source material

HISTORY OF THE ZODIAC

an in-depth exploration of the origins of the Babylonian Zodiac

and its location in the ecliptic
reveals that
the division of the ecliptic into tropical astrological signs
was originally a derivation of Euctemon's tropical Calendar of Seasons
(432 B.C.)

QUOTE

"...dividing the solar year into twelve equal months commencing with the vernal equinox,
in which each solar (tropical) month is named after one of each of the twelve signs..."Dr. Robert Powell

brief bio of Robert A. Powell
:

born Reading, England,1947 graduated in mathematics at Sussex university 1968
awarded Master's degree in statistics 1969
.
1969 to 1976 lectured in mathematics & statistics
in the Department of Computing and Cybernetics at Brighton Polytechnic.
1971 elected Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society.
From its inception in 1971

during 1976-77 Robert A. Powell was visiting lecturer in astronomy

and the history of astronomy

Powell also researched astronomical chronology at the Mathematisch- Physikalisches Institut, Dornach, near Basel, Switzerland.

a Sign is comparable to an ENVIRONMENT and is NEUTRAL
and is neither weak nor strong nor partial :smile:

to use an analogy from nature:
a cactus thrives in sand in harsh sun and dies when placed in nutrient rich soil in shade


cactus-desert-landscape-16735642.jpg


i.e.
sand is NEUTRAL
sand IS NOT partial to cacti



similarly SIGNS are IMPARTIAL and NEUTRAL


another example:


images


a mushroom thrives when placed in nutrient rich soil in darkness and dies when placed in sand in harsh sun

i.e. to be clear then
nutrient rich ground is NEUTRAL and is not PARTIAL to mushrooms


similarly SIGNS are IMPARTIAL and NEUTRAL

hence clearly

Signs are COMPARABLE to an ENVIRONMENT
an environment is IMPARTIAL


SIGNS are neither weak nor strong
Signs are NEUTRAL
Traditional astrology has a heavy emphasis on sect
as defining the overall strength and weakness of the planets.
Charts are either diurnal or nocturnal
depending on whether the sun is above or below the horizon.
The different planets are either diurnal or nocturnal also
and the quality of their function
is greatly influenced by
their agreeing or disagreeing with the sect of the chart.
The form of traditional astrology I practice uses whole sign houses
which go back to the Hellenistic era and were used for over a millennium.

In whole sign houses all of the sign the Ascendant is in is the first house,
all of the next sign is the second, so sign and house boundaries coincide.
Whole sign aspects, seeing and aversion.
In traditional astrology, a planet anywhere in Cancer is trine a planet anywhere in Pisces
regardless of how close they are by degree.
(Traditional astrology also uses degree-based aspects, but for different purpose.)
Traditional astrology uses only what are called the Ptolemaic aspects
– sextile, square, trine, and opposition.
(Conjunctions are also used, but strictly speaking they are not aspects.)
A planet that aspects another planet can ‘...see...’ that planet.
Any planets that do not have one of these aspects
are considered to be in aversion
meaning they can’t see each other
so there is a lack of awareness between them.
There are multiple levels of rulers used
– Lord or Ruler, Exaltation, Trigon or Triplicity, Bound or Term, and Face,
and all but face seem to have been widely used.

There is much heavier emphasis on the Lord of the Ascendant
than on the sun.

Traditional astrology is mainly framed around answering specific questions
about specific areas of life.

Traditional astrology uses only traditional rulerships.
Mars rules Scorpio, Jupiter rules Pisces, Saturn rules Aquarius.
Also, to traditional astrology, rulership does not mean affinity;
it means that the planet is in charge of the affairs of that sign.
So
if you have a seventh house Taurus
the location and condition of Venus
are going to largely determine the nature and quality of your relationships.

Hey, JA.
Thank you for this; very interesting and informative.
I wonder what your thoughts are, how you might reconcile Deborah Houlding's comments

below about the significator of the mother/father with what you have written?
Is it perhaps that you are describing the 4th

as partaking of the parents, and thus, mother and father?
Thank you.
THEMA MUNDI in Hellenistic astrology
illustrates positions of the seven visible classical planets
at the beginning of the universe
tsmall commented that
if you look at the Thema Mundi 4th house
Libra
is ruled by Venus
one of the traditional significations of the mother


4th house is "Everything that relates to the foundation and roots of our existence. Parents in general and fathers in particular; grandparents and ancestry. Paternity (inheritance from parents) as well as the psychological parental influence."
http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h04.html

10th house is " The desire to achieve and give out to the world - whereas the lower midheaven indicates the roots of our existence from which we emerge, the midheaven indicates that which we manifest outwards into our community and the fruits of our labour. Ancient authors recognised its influence on many matters, including marriage and children. Traditionally it is the house of the mother."
http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h10.html


also Libra is the exaltation of SATURN.
SATURN (the father) has natural affinity with 4th
and
is exalted by Venus
in the house that signifies "home/roots"
also gives us Saturn's affiliation with death
as the 4th represents death among other significations

Thema Mundi literally a teaching tool for astrologers.
as an illustration of reasons for the domicile rulers
the exaltations, the planetary joys
the nature of the aspects, sect

Douglas Noblehorse article extract
“....The Thema Mundi is a Hellenistic Era Natural Wheel
that illustrates fundamental astrological principles.
In addition, it reveals the inner geometrical elegance
that gives these fundamentals their meaning and definition...."
Aries the 10th sign is suns exaltation,
so both could be father

House significations have morphed over the millennia IleneK :smile:
Those comments are relative to HELLENISTIC astrological methology
which predates Deborah Houldings astrological rationale


Ancient meanings of the houses
elegantly

combined fundamental astrological concepts :smile:
such as
the distinction between day and night
the benefic/malefic nature of the planets
the symbolism of diurnal motion
the rulerships and exaltations in the Thema Mundi
the Joys

Yes, as an added influence to the overall condition of the given planet; sorrows of the planet occur if the planet posits the opposite house to its joy; remember that the old Hellenists used either whole sign or equal house systems in determining houses (Manilius used whole sign houses; firmicus maternus used equal house)

J.A., it's unnecessary on the Traditional Astrology board to say "Sole Domicile Ruler" of any Sign, Aquarius included, because in ancient astrology, there's no such thing as dual Domicile rulership. There are Sign-rulers with 2 Domicile-signs, but no Domicile-signs with 2 Domiciled-rulers. Each and every Sign has only ONE Domicile-ruler.

Venus completes 8 sidereal cycles and 5 synodic cycles with 8 years.
It has retreating arcs of 15 degrees for 40 days.
Venus is moistening and moderately heating, benefic, feminine and nocturnal. Phosphoros makes those born under her shapely, graceful, effeminate, with bright beautiful eyes, having excess of hot and moist when morning rising, and plump, luxurious, olive in complexion, having excess of moist when evening rising, and in general, admired, passionate, wealthy, gracious, outgoing and friendly. Venus controls desire, love, priesthood, public benefactors, wearing of golden crowns and ornaments, merriment, friendship, companionship, acquisition of additional property, buying maidens and ornaments, agreements on favorable terms, marriages, refined arts, pleasant sounds, music-making, sweet singing, beauty of form, painting, mixing of colours, embroidery, purple-dyeing, perfume making, inventors, the masters of crafts, working with gold and precious stones, haircutters, cleanliness, plays, the supervisors of markets, weights, measures, trades and shops, giving and receiving, laughter and rejoicing, order, aquatic animals, the livelihood of the mother, assistance from women, remarkable reputations, nourishment and pleasure, the olfactory system, the reproductive organs, the secondary sex characteristics, multi-coloured adornments, precious stones, golden colours and greasy tastes. It is chronocrator over youth up to the 22nd year.


Moon completes sidereal cycles with 27.32166 days and anomalistic cycles with 27.55454 days.
Ascending Node completes retreating sidereal cycles with 18.61295 years.
Moon is moistening and moderately heating, benefic, feminine and nocturnal. Moon makes those born under her white, with fine figure, beautiful eyes, having excess of moist. Moon controls life, light, kingship, the household, high priesthood, affluence, gathering of the masses, foresight, the body, travel, fortune, appearance, outcomes, possessions, cohabitation, housekeeping, gains and expenditures, cities, assemblies, ships, the mother and the conception, the respiratory system, the upper gastrointestinal tract, the eyesight, especially the left eye, glass and reflection, silver, white colours and salty tastes. It is chronocrator over infancy up to the 4th year.

Sun rules day, Moon rules night, Sun is not Predominator during day, nor is the Moon during night, when the Lightbringer is inoperative, while the other Light is operative.
