The following text was written by Franz Boll in 1917 and has been translated from Italian from a collection of chosen essays. 1. The original version is published in the Neue Jahrbucher, XXXIX, 1917, page 19 et ff, as Astronomische Beobachtungen im Altertum.

It is not since now that the free astrological software Morinus is one of the best English language localized software. I have written in the past several posts about how using it, getting traditional primary directions, and how adapting the original algorithm, which is based on Kolev work1, to Bezza & Fumagalli (Cieloeterra) algorithm . see [...]

The new and full translation of Valens’Anthology has been like an earthquake in the astrological traditional world. To be honest, as I see, Hellenistic authors are very difficult to integrate into Medieval and Renaissance (or early-modern) astrology, because it is 99% based on Ptolemy Tetrabiblos- it is evident consulting whatever astrological manual of those times.

The gentle author of this blog is just arrived from Genoa, one of the four Maritime Republics of the Middle Ages, well known for being the birth place of Cristoforo Colombo, well known for being the discovery of America.

Being Ptolemy reputed even between the flags of the revival of traditional astrology a compiler hired “by some rich man” 1 could be helpful re-read some of his chapters. One of the most interesting ones is the one closing the Tetrabiblos, about the future times. James H.Holden for Nina Gryphon: Ptolemy went down to the Alexandrian [...]

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 [...]
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. Currently I'm studying astrology with Giancarlo Ufficiale, one of the founders of CieloeTerra- Prof. Giuseppe Bezza's traditional astrology group. I'm a member of CieloeTerra and a certified CIDA member. More about me in the bio.
