The term isophasal derives from the Greek isos (equal) and phasis (phase). In the context of celestial mechanics and the Placidian (Placidus of Titis) method of coordinate transformation, an isophasal curve is the line drawn in the three-dimensional sphere connecting…
The prevailing assumption in contemporary astrological discourse is that celestial partitioning systems—commonly referred to as “house systems”—are a matter of philosophical preference, aesthetic choice, or biographical resonance. This premise constitutes a severe epistemological fallacy. A method of celestial partitioning is,…
American theoretical physicist Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988) firmly believed that if you couldn’t visualise it, you didn’t understand it. Visualising a concept, in astronomical terms, is nothing more than drawing it in our own minds in three dimensions. Our work…
Although readers may wish to proceed directly to the forensic analysis of the principal fallacies that permeate the study of celestial inference or astrology, we highly recommend reading these introductory lines. A Crisis of Accountability A. Falsifiability. If a topocentric…
The contemporary practice of attempting to establish statistical “event-matching” in the field of celestial inference (i.e. astrology) tends to ignore or omit the most vital scientific step: the audit or examination of the instrument. To conduct research without a forensic…
It is often erroneously claimed that the Regiomontanus (RGM) method of celestial partitioning uniquely represents the physical position of a celestial body on the local horizon, primarily because the method relies upon a formal spatial division of the celestial equator.…
