Do you want to give a name to this British astrologer??

And your Mercury is where(?) and the aspecting planets are...

(Investigation is my main astrological interest. Mercury in Scorpio opposed

by Uranus.)

 

Liber Hermetes, Part 2 (Project Hindshight): " From the first degree to the

fifth the degrees of [scorpio] are lucid. They make astrologers [and]

astronomers, always having hope in God. "

 

True. I have astronomy software that I couldn't do without and follow an

Eastern spiritual tradition. Astrology has been my main interest for 30 years.

This is terrific!! For a long time I've been wishing that traditional

astrologers would investigate the sidereal zodiac, because I've believed

that this is where traditional techniques really work. Do **you** have a

web site? If not, you're welcome to put articles and examples on my web

site. I'd love to see some examples of your research. I'd like to be able

to refer traditional astrologers to a web site that used their techniques

with the sidereal zodiac. If you're not working on this, you **must** do a

book on this topic.

 

I'm familiar with traditional techniques, have Lilly, Simonite, Lehman,

others (not Coley), but haven't had time to really work with medieval

techiques.
