A rapt parallel is the aspect between two points - both rapt by the motion of the Primum Mobile, when they have the same distance from the meridian, which is proportional to their semi-arcs. Differently from the mundane parallel, where one point is fixed on the natal position, and the other moves, here both are [...]

One of the most influential and read book against astrology is surely the Disputationes adversus astrologiam divinatricem written by one of the emblems of Renaissance, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, and published after his death in 1496 by his brother. The reason why Pico left at his back the Theses about magic and kaballah and [...]

Readers of my blog know I don’t like repeating what others already have, myself I prefer finding pearls far from common place.

After having examined a little the afflictions of rational soul in the previous post, we can move to the afflictions linked with sexuality, which are grouped in traditional astrology under the file “afflictions of the sensitive soul.” Andrea Argoli gives a list of aphorisms, very easy to check, to which I added two sample charts, in [...]

One of the most important chapters of Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos is the one about the mind because, differently from what modern astrologers think, ancients were very attentive to it, and in the same time they were able to indicate mental problems or sufferings of psyche.

Readers of my blog know quite well how astrology was important in Rome. It was important for Latins, but much more in Renaissance and late Renaissance. There was almost nothing done without consulting the astrologers, even inside the same Catholic Church. I believe of some interest to give a deeper look to the famous sundial [...]

While I was writing the article about profections, for a strange coincidence I received the latest number of Phos, the journal issued by CieloeTerra for their members, dedicated to same subject. The article written by Marco Fumagalli, very beautiful in the content and sophisticated for graphics, on line here, uses profections to rectify birth times. It [...]
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.

I'm a member of CieloeTerra and a certified CIDA member. More about me in the bio.
