San Francisco Fire & Quake (Response yet again)

[Guest guest]

Therese,

 

Just a few further comments on this.

 

[TH]Remember, I go way back!! I remember my Tropical training and

the 'finger

of God' aspect. Yes, Jyotish calls the quincunx the '8th house

aspect' and

it belongs to Mars. It's given 50 percent strength (or therabouts)

with the

other planets depending on which author you read. However, since I

noticed

an abundance of 150 degree aspects in the quake charts involving the

angles, I've elevated the inconjunct to a major aspect for the

earthquake

study.

 

[TH] This is why I don't use the sesquiquadrate, because it's 135

degrees and

too close to the quinxunx. So I allow larger orbs for the quincunx.

---------------

[MQ] Yet, Therese, you dismiss the semi-square and sesqui-square (as

in the SF Quake chart where Mars ties into all three planets of the T-

square with orbs of less than one degree) as " minor aspects " than can

be ignored. I don't pay attention to a -45- or -135- aspect with more

than +/- two degrees orb. And I don't think that half a sign distance

from the quincunx is " too close " to make a distinction.

--------------

 

 

[TH] 'Tightly angular' planets is a sidereal concept. Again, we have

to let

the charts speak for themselves. If there can be a fairly wide orb

between

Uranus and the MC in the Loma Prieta chart, then we have to be

careful how

tight we think the orbs should be. I do like to see close orbs, yes,

but

that doesn't always happen.

------------

[MQ] Therese, I think you missed my point regarding the quotidian

angles. By their very definition, quotidian angles are progressed

angles for a specific date and place. Since with the Mean Q1 Rate,

the quotidian sidereal time increases 3 min 56.6 sec *a calendar

day*, the Q1 MC increases in longitude about a degree a day with the

ASC moving in proportion to it. Thus the contacts to quotidian angles

*must* be tight, a degree or two at most; otherwise the quotidian's

function of day-to-day contacts with natal, progressed, or transiting

planets is meaningless, and I have not found it to be meaningless in

many years of working with quotidians.

[TH] It makes more sense to use the 12 solar ingress charts, since the

importance of the CapLunar can be debated, despite Bradley's

research. And

it looks like we're never going to see that research.

----------

[MQ] You keep complaining about our not being able to replicate

Bradley's research on determining or refining the ayanamsa. Yet that

is what I have been trying to do with these earthquakes by using

quotidian progressions of the ingress angles to a given event. That

is how Bradley did it. He used both solar and lunar ingress charts.

He (and other early sidereal pioneers) found that the Cap ingresses

were most indicative and showed that with quotidian progressions and

transits to the static ingress chart angles. He used earthquakes,

disasters, accidents -- all sorts of events with the ingresses. No,

we're *not* going to replicate his rainfall study with almost 50,000

events of maximum rainfall at measurement stations all over the

country over a period of decades. I don't personally have the time or

the government funding that Bradley had for that. And I actually

don't feel it's necessary to replicate that study. If you look at the

Rainfall files in sidereal.zip again, you'll see that his work was

evaluated by non-astrological researchers in a government-funded

study that was never finished.

 

Take a look at my post quoting his own material and look at the

Jupiter Rainfall graph.

 

Sidereally yours,

Matthew
