Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Lurking List Members, Since it took me a long time to understand the importance of ingress charts, I thought I'd mention their importance here in case some lurkers don't understand what all this earthquake talk is about. An ingress is the moment the Sun or Moon enters a sign of the zodiac. The timing will be different for each zodiac: Tropical, Fagan-Bradley, Lahiri, or whatever zodiac you're using. If the timing is different for each zodiac, then the angles of the chart will also be different. The planets near an angle or aspecting an angle (Asc-Dec/Mc-IC) are generally thought to be more important than planets that are in other positions. Siderealists hold the angles to be of supreme importance. Tropical astrologers don't put as much emphasis on the angles. So...if some kind of consistency can be found amoung charts of one kind (as earthquake charts), then that is evidence that there *IS* indeed a zodiac, and it's not a product of the collective astrological imagination. Tracing a zodiac via ingresses is of supreme importance to astrologers. Donald Bradley claimed to isolate the cardinal ingresses via his rainfall research, but there are two problems with this research: (1) We've never had the raw data and Bradley's exact techniques to study. However, western sidereal astrologers generally swear by Bradley's research. (2) Bradley's studies have never been replicated. They probably never can be because there are questions about exactly what he did. To replicate research, you need to use the exact same type of data and the exact same techniques. No scientist would accept a single study by one individual as evidence for anything. A scientist might say, " This is one possible piece of the puzzle, but certainly not the whole puzzle. " So ingress research is still wide open to investigation by astrologers. We are doing some preliminary exploration of ingress charts on this list.
