While talking about the meaning of comets moving against the order of the signs (like the comet Lulin)- in his comment to Tetrabiblos - Girolamo Cardano explains why this is so a bad omen, with reasons unfortunately very true for present time. This means heresy and perturbation in religions, because men can make evil in everything [...]

In the traditional astrology blog of Dorothy Kovach there is an interesting and as usually well written article about the year of the Ox and some notes about Chinese calendar. Still practioners of traditional astrology would remember some lines from the famous book of Franz Boll, Wilhelm Gundel, Carl Bezold, Sternglaube Und Sterndeutung Die Geschichte Und [...]

As we saw in these days with Obama’s oath(s) – the first problem for an astrologer is determining the true moment of birth, whatever event we are talking about. Placidus writes some interesting considerations in his Coelestis Philosophia (1650):

Before we astrologers can start with astrological predictions, let’s give a quick look where this eclipse is visible, and where it could produce its effects. Ptolemy in fact writes: “In all eclipses of the Sun and Moon, and especially in such as are fully visible, the place in the zodiac, where the eclipse happens, is to [...]

A quick look to Obama inauguration chart: Venus is the ruler of the Ascendant and the almuten of the chart – at least according Solar Fire, I’m too lazy to calculate it by hand. It is in a very good position by essential and accidental dignity: in her exaltation and triplicity. It is visible and vespertine [...]

THERE frequently arises some uncertainty as to the precise time of birth, and some apprehensions lest it should not be accurately noted. In most cases, the actual minute of the hour, at which the birth happens, can only be ascertained by making a scientific observation, at the time, with an horoscopical astrolabe; for all other [...]

In generation and corruption earthly forms are subordinate to the celestials; wherefore they that frame images, do then make use of them, by observing when the planets do enter into those constellations or forms (Ptolemy’s Centiloquium) A recent post in Yuzuru’s blog made me think a little again about Moon mansions, i.e. the 28 [...]

The motion of the Sun and the Moon - in the zodiac and in the day causes the generation of all the bodies under the sky. The kind of generation is determined by the quality of stars: planets, starred images, comets generate all the alterations occurring in primeval qualities, hot and cold, and dry and wet. [...]
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.
