Parans?

[Guest guest]

I'm reading " Brady's Book of Fixed Stars " by Bernadette Brady (a

Tropicalist, it seems) and she to like parans. When she said that it

seemed clear that Stonehenge was used to determine parans I was hooked.

 

I just read something by Gramalkin in which it was said that parans

were of no use.

 

May I asked the opinions of the readers of this list as to the

relevance of parans?

 

Thank you

Actually, I learn to use stars' parans to angles and Sun from Denis

Labouré. Actually I rather use those from angles (rise, culmination

and setting) and find them quite useful. I have Spica (Ven-Mar) and

Algol (Sat-Jup), which I find describe me well enough...

 

But of course, the two «schools» coexist...

Hi Liath,

 

Siderealists generally swear by parans. For myself, I've never made up my

mind about them. Parans are another topic that needs lots of research. The

best way to study parans is to test them out in your own chart and charts

of people you know well.
