Working through this point in my coursework, and learned that the Picatrix has no use for them; Agrippa himself refers to other Hermetic sources. I wonder how their use will be affected by them being in different Houses from when written; what House the Fixed star is in must certainly have an effect on how it's power is expressed. Ptolemy in Tetrabiblos describes their various natures as one combination or another of the Planets. This is interesting; it implies (to me, at least) that these powers and Virtues are of a nature that must be expressed through mediation of the Planets. Either that, or Ptolemy was just using the familiarity of the reader with the Planets to more easily describe the nature of the Fixed Stars. Ha. I wonder at their personalities; the Planets are very accessible, and are clear in their Natures, but the Fixed stars seem so much "further away", they seem remote. Alien. I have't attempted to meet one in ritual yet. I'll post my results when I do.<br />

<br />
This talisman and the election was interesting...mostly because it worked! I can't say I've ever used astrological magic to induce a dream before, and I'm stoked it worked out. Al-Thakah, according to Picatrix, can be used to receive answers about a variety of questions, including Alchemy. Well....I'm always looking for more information about Alchemy.<br />
<br />
I found a time when Luna was in the 5th Mansion (Al-Thakah), and was unafflicted. No aspects to the Malefic planets Saturn and Mars, not Combust the Sun. She was just separating from a trine with Mercury, which was a good sign, as Alchemical works fall under the sway of Mercury. Mercury is also lord of communication....it can't hurt to have him working for you when you want information.<br />
<br />
I'm still growing accustomed to using traditional methods to make these talismans. In the Picatrix, and in within the Mansions of the Moon system, (basically in traditional Astrological Magic) one draws down the Virtue/force of the Planet by creating Images. This is old-school magic, like the shamans who would paint the images of animals upon walls, in order to ensure a good hunt. I think this felt much more powerful to our ancestors, because an Image of something was hard to come by. There weren't any cameras or internets, you had to draw things yourself.Well, regardless of how it feels nowadays, it works. I have to throw myself deeply into the prayers and incantations a bit more, as even treated paper can feel pedestrian for me at times. It's so easy to acquire, and so often used for inconsequential things, it can feel of little value.<br />
<br />
I've used elixirs and the like to "impregnate" papers for good result, and they definitely add the "valuable" feel to the paper, but I think that I need to re-connect with the Wonder of images. I'm going to start making all my images in skin-parchments from now on...ha. Anyway, an image, drawn correctly, can have great sympathetic power in all sorts of Magic.<br />
<br />
When the elected time came around, I cleared my office, turned off the lights and whipped out the prayer rug. Said my prayers to Luna, and invoked the spirits of the Sphere about me. The image of the Mansion was dancing about in my mind--a crowned King, a dis-embodied head with Stars in his brow. I held the image in my mind as I drew it upon the paper, and wrote my request down. I asked Luna to grant my request, and "felt" an affirmative. Good times. Wrapped up the paper, gave thanks, gave licence to depart, and ended the ritual.<br />
<br />
Now the tricksy part. I place the image underneath my pillow (as instructed), and went to sleep. I had many, many dreams. They were many and strange, in the way that dreams tend to be. The information came in chunks, and not as a single person showing up to teach. I've got a dream journal I've been using to train myself to remember my dreams (I've had middling success, not bad at all), and without that practice more of the information would have been lost. No sense in even attempting this sort of dreaming-magic if you haven't done the work to hold the dreams in your waking consciousness. It's not difficult, just a matter of discipline. As it was, I only saved about half what I learned from the waking fugue. I'm thinking I'll use a bit of divination to get the rest, perhaps by election. We'll see.<br />
<br />
I will definitely use this Mansion of Luna again.<br />

<br />
According to the Picatrix, Mars is the giver and repeller of dis-ease...I had a nephew who came down with Scarlet fever a couple days ago (people still get this?), and we were all exposed during family dinner. Needless to say, I don't want any of that business infecting my house...and would love to help my nephew get clear. So, petition time! Yesterday was Tuesday, Mars' Day of Rulership. Picked an hour and got to work. Performing ritual outside, so no GIRH's, unfortunately. Have to improvise something.<br />
<br />
I used a simple ritual to get into touch....lacking a red candle, I used 5 white candles (linking to Geburah) atop the Kamea of Mars in my workbook. All out of Martian planetary incense, but plenty of tobacco and a well broken in pipe. Also have a powerful-strong Garlic elixir I made a bit ago. Tobacco is under Mars' rulership according to lore. Performed protective ritual, lit pipe. Circumambulated 5 times about the altar, puffing away on the pipe. Suffumigating with tobbacco. This was interesting....I smoke maybe 10 times in a year, and only mouth-smoke. Not exactly prepared for mouth-fulls of the stuff in rapid succession. Thankfully, random coughing fits don't appear to be a deterrent for Mars granting petitions.<br />
<br />
On a side note...rapid puffing doesn't hurt the trance process at all, ha.<br />
<br />
After this I returned to the front of the Altar, and intoned the incantation from Picatrix for Mars. I felt <i>tuned in </i>almost immediately after, and Mars' image floated in my minds eye. Drank the garlic elixir in his honor. I made my petition, and asked if the tobacco was a suitable offering. He was pleased with it, and required a I burn a bowl in his honor. Ouch.<br />
<br />
He granted my petition, which was fantastic. Left me bloody-minded for the evening, with dreams full of conflict and the like. This is standard fare for me when working with Mars. I'll have to check my natal and see how he's positioned.<br />
<br />
Just thought I'd share. All in all, a good bit of work.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lindsays chart</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Question:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Basically, "What is going on in my life, and where do I need to apply</div><div style="text-align: left;">myself in Order to move forward?"</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Since the Horary question asked was very general, and not specific as to</div><div style="text-align: left;">what area of life or subject to focus, the Chart will be understood</div><div style="text-align: left;">to represent her general state.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Asked Januarry 27th, @ 12:11</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The house that represents Lindsay, the first House, is Piscess. It's</div><div style="text-align: left;">ruler is Jupiter, planet of beneficience and joy and celebration. This</div><div style="text-align: left;">would imply that a primary concern of the querent is wealth and</div><div style="text-align: left;">happiness...no big shocker, of course.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Jupiter is in the second house, but within the Orb of the first house, which is</div><div style="text-align: left;">Pisces. This is Jupiter's house of Rulership, and places it powerfully.But just so.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Saturn is in his Exaltation, and so very powerful, and is separating from a</div><div style="text-align: left;">square conjunction with Mercury; Saturn represents the things of the world,</div><div style="text-align: left;">such as Health, Employment, etc. Saturn is in the 8th house, a house of death</div><div style="text-align: left;">and loss and anguish of Mind. Saturn is not in aspect with Jupiter, which</div><div style="text-align: left;">indicates it's influence will be less than direct.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">That it is separating from Mercury suggests</div><div style="text-align: left;">an opportunity for positive change in the Areas under it's rule, and that </div><div style="text-align: left;">recently there has been great difficulty in those areas. Loss of income, insecurity, worry...etc. That the</div><div style="text-align: left;">planets Saturn and Mercury are separating from one another points to there</div><div style="text-align: left;">being great anguish of mind in the immediate past, and that this anguish</div><div style="text-align: left;">is dulling...that there is an opportunity to seperate from this anguish.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Mercury is in the 11th house, which signifies friendships and associations;</div><div style="text-align: left;">Mercury is separating from sextile with the Moon, which is in it's Fall. This points to</div><div style="text-align: left;">changes in friendships, and loss of illusion. Loss of friendship, but not</div><div style="text-align: left;">one that is necessarily bad. The poorly situated moon suggests that this</div><div style="text-align: left;">friendship is not what one thought it might be.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The Sun is in Aquarius, his detriment. He is also in the 12th House, which</div><div style="text-align: left;">is a house of affliction, and self-undoing. It is conjunt with Mars, making</div><div style="text-align: left;">that Planet combust. This signifies to me energy applied and wasted on</div><div style="text-align: left;">self-destructive situitions.Venus is semi-square the Sun, which suggests</div><div style="text-align: left;">difficulty with love, self-love and relational love. The conjunction with</div><div style="text-align: left;">the Sun would suggest that there are self-undoing tendencies existent in</div><div style="text-align: left;">love relationships. Venus finds herself in the 10th house, the house representing</div><div style="text-align: left;">one's profession. She is strong in essential dignity, but the conjunction</div><div style="text-align: left;">with the Sun suggests some difficulty in profession, and that energy that</div><div style="text-align: left;">could be spent on work that is loved has instead been misdirected into</div><div style="text-align: left;">self-undoing relationships.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

The differentiator is that Tropical Astrology--the astrology of the West--is Geocentric. The tropical Houses are based around the seasons of our Planet, with 1 Aries being the first day of spring. The advantage of this is that it frees us from concerns about Processions that Vedic and other Eastern Astrologers need to worry about it. Because of our roots in Hermetic philosophy, we understand that Geocentric is also person-centric. Using a Tropical Zodiac fits quite nicely into the Macrocosmic/Microcosmic understandings of our forebears in this Art. It puts the person at the center, and builds out the spiritual forces from the perspective of the world/person.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00688466441427496085noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641965838209470996.post-8782336030442170072010-06-19T15:56:00.000-07:002010-06-19T15:56:35.258-07:00Will Daryl get the job at Yelp?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhClCXr-Y5NYlAGNMD27lKQLKrBnmtSQbGQGfucJHo4F0DD-DQwrickUF_McX8F4nQP07iILze38M6x8iHs0woAJHkpGhEVbkSRt55hyY9Qy12lhvNVhFSbrTSsNIXbOMKMTWYEHHAKjvs/s1600/daryl1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhClCXr-Y5NYlAGNMD27lKQLKrBnmtSQbGQGfucJHo4F0DD-DQwrickUF_McX8F4nQP07iILze38M6x8iHs0woAJHkpGhEVbkSRt55hyY9Qy12lhvNVhFSbrTSsNIXbOMKMTWYEHHAKjvs/s320/daryl1.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This does, however, create a dynamic energy between the two, and the difficulty and struggle inherent in this conjunction could also fuel the positive acquisition of the goal. It could provide<i><span> </span>drive</i><span> </span>for the querent. Jupiter is also Square to the Sun. This creates tension, which is necessary for accomplishing goals, but also frustration. The Sun being square of Saturn is a positive thing, with the dire effects of Saturn on the health being moderated. </span></div><div><br />
</div><div>The Moon is in conjunction with Mars, placed in Leo but Orbed into the 9th house of Virgo. Being in the 9th House-representative of long journeys, and energized by Mars, a combatitive planet--walking will be a long term effort and a struggle. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The fourth House is from where we judge Fathers, and in this instance there are no planets, implying a secondary role for the father in this particular matter. The Father is a Taurus himself, further identifying with the House in this chart. </div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>House of the Question is the Fifth, (Gemini). Mercury is in Gemini. The Sun is in Gemini.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The significator for the Quesited (Micah) is Mercury. It is especially well aspected, as it is in the House it Rules. This tells me that the major decider here is when Micah himself is ready. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Turned</b></div><div><br />
</div><div>The turned rising house Gemini. Both the Sun and Mercury are here; Mercury is the planet of the Quesited, and being in it's house of Rulership it is especially Strong, placing power and command of the issue within the Quesited's hands. The first House is also strongly connected to the Querent's health (quesited when turned); the Sun in this house implies renewal and positive health and fitness gains. He will definitely walk at some point. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The Sun being square with Saturn (the Mother) and not directly square with Mercury (Micah) in this instance speaks to Annie being a heavy influence, but not the direct actor. Her actions influencing when Micah will walk, but unable to do the work for him, or to case the desired outcome on her own. It is heavily up to Micah, with Annie providing energy and inspiration. </div><div><br />

<br />
Time:12:56:22pm<br />
San Jose,Ca<br />

<br />
<br />
Houses/Signs:<br />
1-13 degrees 55 mins Virgo Asc<br />
2-9 degrees 11mins Libra<br />
3-8 degrees 56mins Scorpio<br />
4-11 degrees 51 mins Sagitarius IC<br />
5-15 degrees 12 mins Capricorn<br />
6-16 degrees 6 mins Aquarius<br />
7-13 degrees 55 mins Pisces<br />
8-9 degrees 13 mins Aries<br />
9-8 degrees 56 mins Taurus<br />
10-11 degrees 51 mins Gemini MC<br />
11-15 degrees 12 mins Cancer<br />
12-16 degrees 6 mins Leo<br />
<br />
<br />
Planets:<br />
<br />
Saturn: 27 degrees 51 mins 1st House/Virgo<br />
Jupiter: 29 degrees 48 mins Pisces<br />
Mars:28 degrees 44 mins Leo<br />
Venus:18 degrees 47 mins Cancer<br />
Mercury:21 degrees 34 mins Taurus<br />
Luna:13 degrees 3 mins Pisces<br />
Sol:14 degrees 5 mins Gemini<br />
<br />
Lord of the Ascendant:Mercury (also signifies the Querent)<br />
<br />
Lord of the House that rules the Question (10th):Mercury<br />
<br />
Almuten:<br />
<br />
Aspects:<br />
<br />
Mercury-Venus sextile<br />
Moon-Venus Trine<br />
Sun-Moon Square<br />
<br />
As the Moon is always a Co-Significator of the Querent, this is an interesting thing to see. The Sun is in the second house (the house related to Wealth and pay)<br />
and the square (oppositional) aspect with the Moon suggests a pulling away from the querents desires regarding their own wealth. The moon is in Pisces, suggesting<br />
a hidden desire or motive of the Querent. This suggests the real question at the root of this issue, which is "Will I get Janet's position?"<br />
The Moon is in the 7th house Pisces, which suggests a hidden adversary. The querent is oppossed to/competitive with the persons involved in the original question.<br />
<br />
The querent will have positive change in his wealth and holdings, but will not get this particular position.<br />
<br />
Kenny will take over Janet's job; the Querent and the Quesited in this question being the same Planet creates the same effect as the Conjunction.<br />
<br />
Dignities:<br />
None of the Planets are particularly ill or well dignified. Saturn is powerful, and in the first house. Saturn in the first house is generally a good sign.<br />

Caught my first error as well, and corrected....I hope.<br />
<br />
I've mis-red. Turns out, Saturn is in the 3rd house, not the 4th. the 8th house is the house of Death, not the fourth. Capricorn is in the Eight house,<br />
which it rules. Saturn rules Capricorn; however, Saturn is in Libra, the House that rules Travel. Saturn is in Opposition to Jupiter, which is in it's house of Rulership<br />
and very well dignified. Jupiter is the stronger planet here, and would exert an ameliorating influence on Saturn. The Moon and Significator is in opposition to the Sun;<br />
it is in the 6th House, which is associated with sickness and disease.<br />
<br />
I would draw from this that the Lietenant will perhaps acquire an injury over the course of this dangerous journey, but nothing serious. He will survive and return home!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00688466441427496085noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641965838209470996.post-88129944890027864722010-06-01T07:43:00.000-07:002010-06-01T07:43:04.512-07:00First HoraryAve,<br />
<br />
Here's my first attempt at Horary. I am clearly a novice, but let's hope that changes. I'm going to attempt a couple a day, and hope to be an expert in a years time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Signs and Houses<br />
<br />
Cancer Rising, in the first house<br />
2nd house Leo<br />
3rd house Virgo IC<br />
4th house Libra<br />
5th House Scorpio<br />
6th House Sagitarius<br />
7th House Capricorn-Descendant<br />
8th House Capricorn<br />
9th House Aquarius<br />
10th House Pisces MC<br />
11th House Aries<br />
12th House Gemini<br />
<br />
Planets<br />
<br />
Sun- 7 degrees 10 minutes Gemini Dignity-in the twelfth House, poor<br />
Moon- 15 degrees 12 minutes Sagitarius Dignity-none<br />
Mercury- 12 degrees 26 minutes Taurus Dignity-none<br />
Venus- 10 degrees 14 minutes Cancer-none<br />
Mars- 25 degrees 5 minutes Leo-none<br />
Jupiter-28 degrees 45minutes Pisces Dignity-Rulership/House +5<br />
Saturn- 27 degrees 50 minutes Virgo Dignity-none<br />
<br />
Significator:<br />
The Lord of the Ascendant is the Moon.<br />
<br />
Significant:<br />
The Moon is in opposition to the Sun.<br />
<br />
The Moon being in Opposition to the Sun creates tension between the two Planets.<br />
<br />
What is the question?<br />
Will Lieutenant **** survive his trip to Afghanistan?<br />
<br />
Which House best fits the answer to this question?<br />
The First House, as it has to do with the Life of a man, or the Eigth house, as it has to do with the quality of a man's death and the Nature of that Death.<br />
<br />
Which Planet is the Almuten of the Figure (has the most dignities)?<br />
Jupiter<br />
<br />
<br />
Answer:<br />
<br />
The significator for the question is the Moon, which is in direct opposition to the Sun, symbol of life. The Significator is in a Cadent house and is therefore weak,<br />
further skewing things negative. In the fourth House is Virgo, a barren sign, within which is Saturn. Saturn is in Opposition to Jupiter, the planet full of Joy and<br />
Happiness. Finding Saturn, the lord of death, within the Fourth House which rules Death is also troubling. Perhaps Jupiter would have an ameliorating effect on Saturn<br />
I would determine from this chart that **** will be in constant danger, and unlikely to return from this conflict alive.<br />
<br />
*name replaced due to the nature of the question, which requires some sensitivity.<br />

I hadn't realized the lines where drawn so sharply between the Classically styled and the Moderns....I've yet to read a (living) Horary Astrologer who didn't think modern Astrology was a discipline packed with fools. I don't know enough yet to determine whether this is unfortunate or simply a truthful view of the Modern, but I hope that as I develop as in classical Astrology I'll see reason to respect the moderns as well. We'll see. Perhaps this derision is deserved.<br />

<br />
There is much more depth to this discipline than I initially understood. There is an amazing tradition of Horary Astrology, and Astrological Magic. There has been a rich flowering of traditional sources that has opened up this field to the dedicated and focused aspirant. Three things in particular stand out for me:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.renaissanceastrology.com/picatrix.html">Christopher Warnock/John Michael Greer's translation of the Picatrix</a> (not having to learn Latin to read this is like a miracle). Those two gentlemen are both respected and experienced Adepts....buy their books, and support them. Frater Warnock and his website served as great inspiration for me in this area. He offers classes in Horary Astrology and classical magic. I'm planning to study the classical texts and developing myself, and taking Fra Warnock's classes as funds allow. His Spiritus Mundi group is an excellent resource for the aspiring Astrologer.<br />
<br />
My plan is to perform one Election/interpret one Chart each day, for a couple of years. Experience paired with study should get the job done....I'll also be working classical Astrological Magic, as described in the Picatrix and in Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy. I'm currently working through Christian Astrology, as it seems to be a root tome for understanding the Horary mysteries.<br />
<br />
One thing that has been ridiculously convenient--if a bit unromantic--is the abundance of software available for creating Horoscopes. I took the time to learn how to do it the hard way, using an Ephemeris. Hard work, but it gave me a visceral understanding of how the Planets and Sign move within one another. I had a rather romanticized view of things, and thought I would just do it the old school way...until I tried the ZET software. It makes me sad for some reason, but Not using software is just foolish. I'm a lot more prone to make mistakes than the software, may as well use the best tools available.<br />
