Hi everyone,
As I continue to practice astrology, I have a google keep note, with questions which get added from time to time.
Technical questions, doctrine questions, experiment methods of chart analysis, etc.
Here're a few, if you'll be kind and willing to participate in a discussion:
1) As far as I know/remember, the Hellenistic approach to houses can be primarily sign-based. Say, Sun in 5 degrees of Capricorn and Moon in 25 degrees of Taurus would be considered 'in a trine configuration' under such an approach.
This raises the question of what modern astrologers consider out-of-sign aspects. Say, Sun in the first degree of Cancer and Moon in the 29th degree of Sagittarius.
If I correctly understand the Hellenistic approach, the Luminaries in such a scenario wouldn't be considered in an opposition. That is, despite the fact that in modern astrology such a configuration would be called an 'out of sign opposition'. If we'll take this logic to it's conclusion, in Hellenistic the luminaries would be considered 'in aversion' - no aspect whatsoever.
What say you on this matter?
2) I sometimes experimentally use modern rulers (scorpio-pluto and such) in an otherwise traditional chart setting.
I do it not because I think that Pisces is ruled by Neptune (or the rest), but rather to give myself additional tools to examine the roles of outer planets in a given chart.
Say in a theoretical chart, where Pisces rules the 8th, Jupiter would rule the 8th, but when I'll be examining Neptune, I could tie him in with certain themes and topics (8th house themes and topics) in that given chart.
This proves to be rather useful, although I consider such an approach experimental and secondary.
Anyhow, I did wander if any of you do anything remotely similar?
3) I experimented with some clients, doing predictive work without employing transits whatsoever (maybe only in the back of my mind), and was surprised by the sturdiness and consistency of the results.
I employed instead such techniques (not all at once, but several): Profections, Firdaria, Secondary Progressions, Primary Directions, Distributions, Solar Arc Directions, and Zodiacal Releasing.
Wanted also to employ Solar Returns, but did not as I consider them a derivative of transits.
Did you ever try such an approach, and what were your results?
