On the Mathematical Expression of the Interpretative Exercise
This paper explores the epistemological possibility of formalising the non-exact interpretative component of astrology. We set forth conceptual mathematical structures and formulas intended to manage the inherent variability of human experience, distinguishing between dominant and non-dominant variables within the astrograph (commonly, birthchart). The work focuses upon identifying the necessary versus sufficient causes that determine the propensity (positive or negative result) of a specific trait, aiming to enhance the precision of astrological delineation by introducing a structured, probabilistic framework for assessing potential outcomes.
Astrophysical Justification of the Astrological Symbols
This research delves into the physical and astronomical basis required to justify the meaning of astrological symbols. We move beyond mere convention to explore the astrophysical properties and astronomical characteristics of planets and the distinct segments of the ecliptic and its geometry. By correlating the observed astronomical and electromagnetic characteristics of celestial bodies with their symbolic meanings, this paper seeks to establish a non-arbitrary, objective foundation for astrological concepts, reinforcing the epistemological argument that the symbol must accurately derive its power and significance from a verifiable natural phenomenon.
The Astrological Procedure of Delineation
This paper defines and explains the proper, step-by-step analytical procedure required for accurate chart delineation (originally set forth by Morin de Villefranche), serving as a methodological guide for practitioners. The research classifies houses and astrographs or charts as either homogenous or heterogenous based on their structural composition or astrographical arrangement (“sequencing”). By clarifying the required sequence and hierarchy of analytical steps, this work aims to standardise chart interpretation, ensuring the practitioner’s method is aligned with the integrity of the map.
This paper presents a highly theoretical but geometrically and physically coherent exploration of the relationship between Placidian (natural) houses and concepts of relativity. We analyse the spatiotemporal nature of the Ptolemaic or physical method of house division—which measures the unique arc of an object’s passage (i.e. specific point or zodiacal degree of the ecliptic)—as the first non-quantum form of time dilation/contraction resulting from the inclination of the Earth’s moving frame of reference relative to the inert plane of the ecliptic (apparent path of the sun). This yields the known differences in ascensional times across the globe, which naturally imposes a visual phenomenon upon the astrograph, making the regions (houses) expand and contract. We explore whether this effect might correlate with subjective time sensation and postulate (see Appendix) that, if gravitational variables were also involved, confirmation would require precise computational modelling, demanding the power of NASA supercomputers and specialised atomic clocks.
This work contains the quantitative proof of geometric necessity underpinning our entire methodological approach. We demonstrate that the Ptolemaic/Placidian method of celestial partition is the sole system whose calculation is justified by the physical truth of the diurnal arc (circles of declination). The paper rests not merely upon this conclusion, but upon identifying the mechanism of action responsible for the failure of all linear methods of celestial partition (from Porphyry and Alcabitius to Regiomontanus and Koch). By quantifying the temporal discrepancies (∆t), we show that these systems impose an arbitrary, uniform structure onto a non-uniform natural phenomenon, thereby challenging the philosophical basis of methodological relativism within the established astrological community.
