Richard, if you start with angularity, have you found the sidereal

placements more appropriate than the tropical? It seems to me that a lot of

the angularity problem is solved through aspects to the angular planets.

This can bring in some/most/all of cadent or succeedent planets.

 

I know the few sidereal books out there on return charts talk about

foreground planets as if that's all that matters, but these planets don't

stand alone. Other planets aspect them. It does seem to be important,

however, which NATAL planets fall in angular houses in return charts. Too

bad that no one followed up on Diana's death charts and the disputed time

of birth. Maybe I'll get back to that.

 

Thanks for the WTC delineation, Richard. Very interesting, but I'll go

without comment because I used the time I had for the bogus election charts.

 

Oh, O.K.--one comment: In the attack chart itself Virgo rises and Jupiter

is conjunct the MC opposed by Uranus. In this chart Uranus rules the 6th

(the ancient house of enemies) and Jupiter (a malefic for a Virgo

ascendant) rules the 7th house of open warfare.

 

I think eventually we'll have to integrate some of the key concepts from

the different astrological systems. We just can't say something like,

" Well, I reject XYZ because I don't believe something like that works. "
