Transits

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if there is ancient precedent for using only the transits

independently. My understanding of the hellenistic astrology is that transits

are last in a hierarchy of timing methods and only considered relative to the

natal chart as triggers of other methods (from this follows that there are

transits which are not effectual). And the ashtakavarga transit system is also

wholly dependent on the natal chart under consideration. I don't think one

should neccessarily prove the sidereal zodiac with tropical/modern methods and

mindsets.

 

(I would also take exception to this list in that pre-1990 was the heydays of

PLO, IRA, Red Brigade, Baader-Meinhof, Japanese Red Army etc. terrorism, Pol Pot

massacres, Vietnam biological warfare etc., not to mention the earlier WW2 and

WW1. And the 1990s was also when PLO, IRA and ETA paused their terrorism).
