The contemporary traditionalist approach to celestial mechanics is marked by an unprecedented historical irony. The very foundation of Hellenistic astrology rests upon the hōroskopos, whose literal translation from ancient Greek is the “hour marker.” However, in dismissing the Ptolemaic methodology…
A prevalent misconception within the discipline is that evaluating celestial partitioning systems requires an insurmountable command of complex algebra. It does not. The underlying mathematics serve a single, foundational function: they act as a stopwatch. A two-dimensional celestial map constitutes…
This article was originally published by The Urania Trust One of the arguments most unfortunate in the history of celestial partitioning—or methods of house division—rests upon a logical fallacy: justifying a mathematical method based solely upon the authority of a…
Acknowledgments. Before commencing, we must extend our profound gratitude to Philip Graves, curator of the Historical Archives of Astrology, for providing the primary source scans transcribed verbatim in this analysis. Those interested in acquiring the original versions of these documents,…
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…
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…
