Re: Hellenistic deliniations
Well the dexter and sinister that I learned is exactly as JupiterAsc explained, and I learned with an image near identical to the one that this member posted. There have been a number of posts since which referenced to other features, which, insofar as my limited knowledge on it, have no connection to dexter and sinister.
I strongly advice going back to JA's post on this (a page back or more recent) explains it well.
Q. Dexter and sinister conjunctions/oppositions don't exist.
Q. I learned it from a modern astrologer...a modern astrologer using dexter and sinister! Eclectic indeed! And aspect degrees are important in how I was taught to use it, not by signs.
Q. About effects, it indicates strength of an aspect and some of the effects...I was taught that a sinister trine for example can be less stable in it's production of positive effects, less reliable, sometimes as a matter of luck or chance and not inate ability.
It's up to the individual as always which features 'make sense' to them. I admit the anti-leftist connotations to this feature raise questions for me, it may have been acceptable in the past to tie anything left with the devil or evil (such as in Catholicism) but very few of us would accept that today.
