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 [...]

If the primary directions were surely the favourite tool of the traditional astrologer, they generally were used together with solar returns and profections. Only combining the three tools together a prediction is possible- something very far from the modern use of transits.

Reading here and there I see that primary directions are seen as very difficult and occult. It is not like that. Ideas which are behind are very easy to grasp, and modern software can do all the calculation for us: on the other hand people who have learned them generally use them as a way to [...]

I’ve just finished reading Martin Gansten’s book about primary directions, and I liked very much. So I believe it’s the opportunity to give some examples about primary directions using Morinus software, especially because here in Italy we don’t use Kolev formulae- better said, we use them but put in another way.

She likes very much the reading Ben Dykes [...]

As many of us know, Placido Titi did use his own calculation of Part of Fortune, which he took from Adriano Negusanzio “nobleman from Fano, very expert both in the astrological doctrine according the true doctrine of Ptolemy, and in natural science and in the other secrets of nature… “ In his Canon de Parte Fortunae, [...]

I was reading this interesting post about Ptolemy’s directions, an example which always makes me crazy for its difficulty, it’s because numbers confuse me, and the example is very difficult. So let’s try to make some order, (I’m a Virgo Sun). We should calculate the arc of direction between A and B. MC:17.30 Taurus Right Ascension [...]

Haec, Auguste, tamen, quae vertice sidera pulsat, par domus est caelo sed minor est domino. Augustus, this Dome whose vault touches the stars and is so similar to the sky, nevertheless is inferior to his Lord. (Martial, Ephigrams VIII, 36) A BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION When I wrote my thesis about “manifestations of luxury in Renaissance Italian buildings” some years [...]
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.
