Cardano on fixed stars in De iudiciis geniturarum (1547)
Stars at the border of Sagittarius, the three ones of third magnitude near or over the arrow, have a great influence in producing murderers. If they are well disposed they make heroes, men of war, tribunes, judges, responsible for other people's death; if ill disposed, they make wardens, subordinate
ABOUT STARS RISING WITH THE 12 SIGNS ACCORDING ALBUMASAR GREAT INTRODUCTION
Stars rising with portions of ecliptic, the so-called paranatellonta, have a central place in traditional astrology. Ancient texts give a lot of room to this subject, Manilius dedicated to paranatellonta the whole fifth book of his Astronomica, Firmicus lists them in two of the eight books of Mat

MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE MUSIC
Music in the Middle Ages and Renaissance is music for life, the sound of work, war, happiness, sadness, love, prayer. [vimeo 2654494] The Litaniae Sanctorum are one of the oldest prayers of the Church. They were established by Gregorius the Great in 590 AD to stop the plague. A medieval legend
Stade on Fixed stars
Fixed stars have a prominent part in traditional astrology: Ptolemy in the first book of Tetrabiblos lists them without giving any meaning, but we have several alternative sources for them, Manilius and Firmicus in the Latin world, Anonymous of 379 and two chapters from Liber Hermetis in theABOUT ME
My name is Margherita Fiorello from Rome, Italy.
I graduated with a thesis on Renaissance villas in Papal Kingdom and I have been engaged in traditional astrology since ten years.
