Garth Allen's AA article on Ayanamsa

[Guest guest]

In the spirit of the on-going ayanamsa wars I have posted Donald

Bradley (Garth Allen)'s American Astrology article " How to Unvex a

Vexed Question " to the File section in MS Word format.

 

In the article he explains how the SVP was determined and a lot of

other fun stuff. There is also a discussion of his Jupiter/Rainfall

studies and his use of Ingress charts to pinpoint the final

determination of the SVP. I think the article has great historical

value.

 

Regarding different values, I especially like his suggestion to

 

" ...take the first telephone number having six digits in your local

directory and con yourself into considering it to be the genuine

ayanamsa in degrees, minutes and seconds, for any event you want to

" study. "

 

The odds are surely better than 50-50 that by your third ingress

chart for the event, using this fake ayanamsa, pretending it to be

real, you'll come up with a persuasively " accurate " horoscopic picture

of the event. If the event is a catastrophe, there are enough

malefics in the sky, and more than enough square aspects within reach

of at least one of your two, three, four or more sets of angular cusps

to fill the bill and produce a " triumph " for the ersatz ayanamsa emp

loyed. "

 

This is not to be construed as an endorsement of the Fagan/Bradley

ayanamsa. I, personally, am using my social security number although I

had to lob off a couple of digits.

 

In any case, I'm sure you'll enjoy the tone of the article as well as

his commentary on the work of others, which kind of reminds me of the

tape of Buddy Rich yelling at his band members.

 

Best to all,
