We know that traditional astrology is not an uniform group of tools, rules and techniques, so sometimes it’s difficult to find a common thread in it, we should just collect single inputs trying to put them together.

The following is my translation from Latin from another of Argoli’s main works, Two books about critical days and decumbiture of diseases2 revised and revisited by [...]
