On the distribution of ascendants in the general population

[Guest guest]

Dear Vyas,

 

The information about the distribution of ascendants in the population, if

uneven, could be helpful to consider as another indication of the

characteristics of a given population.

 

That said, the idea arose when doing research on the 247 mundane astrology

charts rectified by our dear Jorge Angelino over the span of more than two

years. This truly is a significant feat and a major contribution to mundane

astrology. As such it is worthy of further study. One issue that came up when

studying these rectifications is that of the 247 chart ascendants rectified one

quarter came out to be in odd signs and three quarters are in even signs. This

is a surprising result, but need not be impossible.

 

25,5% of charts fall in odd signs of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius

and Aquarius ascendants with 2-3 functional malefics, except Aquarius with 4

FMs.

74,9% of charts fall in even signs of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio,

Capricorn and Pisces ascendants with 4-5 functional malefics.

 

Almost 40% are in two signs, Taurus and Virgo – signs associated with greater

incidence of problems in life. A gif file is attached showing the frequency by

ascendant. The line is suggestive of the relationship that emerges: the more

times an ascendant is the result of the rectification, the more likely it is to

have more functional malefics. Is this result due to the method used, or is it

because the distribution is uneven in a given population. In the latter case we

could draw inferences from population distribution to country (mundane)

distribution. However, there are exceptions to this. Pisces which has 5 FMs and

Gemini which has 2 FMs have about the same frequency. So, this is a perplexing

distribution, which would be good to understand better with population data.

 

In any event, this is a table showing the frequency distribution - with 8,35%

being the expected frequency if the distribution is even.

In general, the greater the number of functional malefics in an ascendant, the

more likely it is to appear in the rectifications, as the attached graph shows.

 

This outcome is the result of the methodology of matching signficant events

with different ascending sign charts. In my view, such an outcome can be

justified if it represents a distribution showing up in e.g. person centered

astrology.

 

As I have not seen any studies on the distributions of ascendants in sidereal

astrology. I wanted to pose this particular question to the list members to be

better able to appreciate the result. If such a distribution coincides with our

experience of ascendants in personal astrology it becomes easier to understand.

 

Best wishes,

 

C
