Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Perhaps one - or hopefully more- of the more experienced siderealists hanging out can suggest a couple good books for Tara so she can learn to cast and read her own chart. I'd do it myself but i don't know any right now. I read more by a sort of translation from tropical works, and i've got a couple other weird idioyncratic techniques as well. To be honest, i'd be interested in knowing which are considered " essential " works in the sidereal tradition. Sidebar, Tara's going through the Uranus square? I just finished one of those not too long ago. No fun at all...hahaha! Started out with feeling all stifled and confused, by the time it was all said and done a lot of my priorities in life had changed dramatically and i finally came to the conclusion that i'm actually mortal (i know it now but i still don't like it!) I wonder what your experience of this period has been. take care all ===== " Of course it's hard that's why they call it a shortcut...if it were easy it'd just be the way!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Vincent... Share your " weird idiosyncratic techniques " with us.... you write...> I'd be interested in knowing which are considered " essential " works in the > sidereal tradition. Sidereal Astrology begins in 1947 with Cyril Fagan. http://www.magee.demon.co.uk/fagan.htm What follows(1947) are a few books and revolutionary efforts made to create new and insightful charting techniques. Currently most if not all books on Sidereal Astrology are out of print. Do a google search for information on Sidereal Astrology and an authors name such as Allen, Stahl, Gleadow, Bradley or Fagan. Suggest reading the book by Bradley.. " Taking the Kid Gloves off of Astrology " ... By 1974, they are all gone! Within Sidereal.zip the following information on " signage " exists. http://users.cwnet.com/~sidereal/mag/signs.html When one is introduced to astrology, they first come face to face with the zodiac. Aires, Taurus, Gemini etc. are our first contact. Eventually its not the sign but the planet that matters and the relationships between planets. You stress this point as you wrote the following: > " Sidebar, Tara's going through the Uranus square? I just finished one of > those not too long ago. No fun at all...hahaha!

Signage is relative but in measured context. In Tropical Astrology, signage is essential. Without the signs, Tropical would not exist... In perspective, measure for yourself what is genuine and what is speculation? Ask yourself how important is myth(signage is immersed in it)? How can you divide the constellations into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees each and come up with 12 distinct signs? The constellations are of various sizes. How many of the constellations measure one twelfth of the ecliptic (30 degrees)? (Answer.. Not one is exactly 30 degrees) When the planets and lights travel through the constellation of Ophiuchus why is it said to be in Scorpio and defined as such? http://www.winshop.com.au/annew/MythsZodiac.html http://www.space.com/spacewatch/ecliptic_030228.html http://www.griffithobs.org/IPSRealConst.html http://www.astro-horoscopes.com/HTML/AskKevin/980116.html The interpersonal relationships of the planets and the lights with the angles is what Sidereal Astrology is about. Cyclical phenomena's included..... Ours is not a perfect model but its the finest predictive tool available. Possibly its the fundamental structure that " make it so " ....
