Just been having a look round the new design – most impressive. I love the mix between Arabic and Western, ancient and modern and, like Merlene, – I can smell those old leather books!
Thank you, Mike;
your positive comments are much appreciated
You are spot on in your observation. Although the main theme of this web log is rooted in traditional Western Predictive Astrology and its useful interpretation for our times, the chosen theme should be understood as a hommage to medieval Arab astrology. After all it was the transmission of their knowledge that enabled astrology to flourish in Europe.
Peter, William Lily, frequently quoted by you, astonishes me so much, I cannot recover from this ‘amazement’ ! Now I read your page about next novembers eclipse…what does Sag. rising mean? I’m a Sag. from 12/12/1959, and follow you on Twitter as @fogodoeon.
Thank you and I am glad you find it of interest.
To answer your question, Sagittarius, or any other sign, rising means that this sign was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. In mundane charts it indicates the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment the event looked at occurs. If you are born on December 12th it means that your Sun is in Sagittarius but to know your rising sign we would have to know your TIME of birth to eastablish this.
Love the leather cover on the “Christian Astrology” by Lilly. Have never seen it available in leather (at least in the US). Would love to get my hand on it… any suggestions on where I might be able to find it? Thanks!
Christian Astrology was first published in 1647 and the second edition was published in 1659. In 1985, a facsimile 3rd edition was published by Regulus Publishing. This edition, you can see in the picture, has had a print run of 500 copies only and has long been sold out. Nevertheless, if you look at secondhand places like abebooks, or even amazon [ http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Astrology-William-Lilly/dp/0948472006/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335084867&sr=1-4 ] you might be able to find a copy. Expect to pay around $280.00 though.
Thanks for reply and information… I did look at amazon, but not hard enough. OUCH on the price though! I am going to try an hunt down and find a bargin price on one.
Dr. Stockinger finnaly I understood that the sign rising, is the ascendant, right?
I have Capricorn rising over my Sagittarianism, which I hope will giver methods and hope, to Sagittarians need to break fences and explore the wild.
Peter congrat, for your casting a chart in mid-sommer that Barack Obama will be elected for second term , you were right on, even saying it will be a tight race, but He will be the Winner. Even on some lists the “Other Side” hoping that some votes are still outstanding and “things” could change!lol lol) the 60 millions , or whatever the number was still dont get it in their head, Obama IS THE WINNER!!
especially CNBC TV Station, which lambasted him till the end and the Donald Trump is out of his mind, ( as he is always ) he cant get it in his head(perhaps he should change his haird lolo) that Obama is second term 111
You are just too cool!!! Peter
I loved the dialogs on diff. lists the” for” Obama and the” NO” Obama it reflected in discussions, it is difficult to be neutral it was such a tight race!!!
warm regards

I recently published a handbook about astrology for practical laboratory alchemists. I would love to converse on the subject.
That sounds intriguing. Would love to know more; if you want to take this off the public forum, you can write to me @ Peter@stars-and-stones.co.uk
Sincerely Peter
Excellent post. The eclipse will fall on my natal north node, so I’m off to check my aspects.

A difficult combination anyhow, they seem to me, Capricorn and Sags, just
the opposite of one another.
