An easier method might be to press your horary button for the natal chart and look at the highest positive value against the planets. It can work as a rescue planet, working in morality and ethics, or as a planet to hide behind.

Hitler only had 1 planet that was +’ve, Venus in the 7th house, as his strongest planet, it helped him influence many people, the public could not inherently see the weakness of the other planets or the mans personality beyond it, they only saw Venus. Sometimes the strongest planet will give the person the image of another sun sign, [the sign the Almuten planet resides in]. It’s a real Chameleon.

Angles

There are four angles which cut the ecliptic in the shape of a cross; they are positioned at the cusp of the 1^st house [ASC], where the celestial horizon and the ecliptic intercept in the East. The cusp of the 4^th house is where the meridian and the ecliptic intercept in the north. At the cusp of the 7^th house [DES], where the celestial horizon and ecliptic intercepts in the west and at the cusp of the 10^th house, where the meridian and ecliptic intercept in the south.

Angular houses

Angular houses are the 1^st, 4^th, 7^th and 10^th.

A planet is considered angular if it is within 8 degrees of the Asc, Ic, MC or Dsc.

These planets manifest more powerfully in these positions.

Within 4 degrees of the Asc relates to the physical brain

Within 4 degrees of the IC, closer the better, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto here is associated with mediumship abilities, Mars, working with spiritual energies.

Anti-culminating

Describes a planet dropping below the horizon and reaching its lowest elevation, due to the rotation of the Earth. Out of sight , out of mind, but it is still influencing the unconscious.

Antiscia

The word “Antiscia” comes from the Latin antiscii and the Greek antiskioi meaning anti-opposite and Skia “shadow”. Translated as “shadows on the other side”.

Antiscia is the mirror image of the planets reflected over the Cancer-Capricorn axis, the axis connecting the two solstice points together.

Any antiscion point can be activated when occupied by another natal planet, by transit, direction, or progressed planet, this behaves much like a reflex action, often triggered when solutions to problems are seen.

Often Antiscia connections can be found between charts where no other obvious planetary aspects can be seen either in declination or longitude.

The Antiscia has the ability to bring issues surrounding that planet into clear focus.

Aphelion

The point in a planets orbit where it is the furthest from The Sun. Issues related to the planet in question appear to turn around as they can go no further in that direction. i.e. Businesses reach saturation point, need to branch out in another direction, there is a requirement to refocus on something else.

Apogee

Where the Moon is furthest from the Earth, it appears smaller in the sky. When changes are apparent to the Moon, nature often reacts, things are emotionally taken away.

Arabic parts

Also known as lots, they are a variation on midpoints, the longitudinal degrees of two planets are either taken away or added together then taken or added to the Ascendant.

They are astrological sums, the most famous being the part of fortune.

I find they work up to a point, as long as the midpoint of a resulting degree it falls on is part of the interpretation. But they need to be worked with very tight orbs, 5 degrees for an eclipse, certainly no more than a degree, 30 minutes max in most cases.

Aries point

The Aries point is very meaningful as it symbolizes a person’s public image. The Aries point refers not only to 0 degrees Aries, but to the midpoints it also falls on. The midpoints are of the 8^th harmonic, therefore 0 degrees Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, as well as 15 degrees Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius too.

Perhaps Aries reflex points are easier to remember as 0 degree of the cardinals and 15 degrees of the fixed signs, and using an orb of up to 2 degrees.

Whatever midpoint or planet falls on the Aries point will describe the nature of the public image, just how far and wide this potential image falls outside the front door will depend on other supporting factors in the chart and personal desire for that recognition.

Just some of the planetary symbols;

Sun Potential for public recognition and to be well known; but this can be notoriety as well as celebrity status.

Moon Potential for public recognition of wisdom or caring attributes. Collectors, cooks, gynaecologists, domestics, father and son business.

Mercury Potential for public recognition in communication, writing, intellectual talents, travel. Editors and journalists, employees.

Node Potential for public identification or involvement with large social groups, an easy connection with groups.

Asc Potential to easily align with public popularity; personality traits conducive to commanding public notice.

Midhaven Potential to easily align career to attract public attention and exposure.

If there is not a planet on the Aries point, take a look at the midpoints.

Ascendant [rising sign]

Where the Eastern horizon intercepts the ecliptic.

The Ascendant is considered the most personal point in a chart, describing those first moments of breath to when illness strikes, it describes the immediate emotional environment and aspects made to it are personal in nature. The Parts are really an in-depth study of the relationship of the ascendant to the other planets. The Ascendant describes motivation, and physical looks, and the energy coming to us to use.

Astrocartography

Is a mapping technique, that shows planetary lines crossing the world/country, it is used to pinpoint locations of importance, of change, anything where location is important!

Sometimes people will relocate in order for a life event to happen!.

Astronomy 

Is the scientific study of the sky, originally they were observations using the naked eye, but now technology has lead to massive telescopes in prominently placed observatories around the world.

Astronomy is essential to astrology

Ayanamsa

A term used to describe the degree difference between sidereal and tropical zodiacs. The sidereal system is always aligned with the fixed stars, while the tropical is aligned with 0 degrees Aries.

An exact value of 24 degrees [difference] was computed by Fagan and Bradley in 1950, but there are a large range of different values in use. The ayanamsa moves approximately 50” a year.

Azimuth

The azimuth of a point on the celestial sphere is defined as the angular distance measured towards the east, from north, along the astronomical horizon to the intersection of the great circle passing through the point and the astronomical zenith with the astronomical horizon.

Baily’s beads

During an eclipse of the Sun, both before and after the Sun passes behind the Moon a number of bright spots appear along the edge of the Moons dark disk. These are Baileys beads, thought to be caused by sunlight passing through valleys between the mountains of the Moon. Astronomer Francis Bailey [1774-1844] first observed the beads in 1836.

Barycentre

The Barycentre, is the gravity centre of the universe and lies at 07°Virgo 48.838'.

The Bary centre is the planetary centre of mass of the solar system, which the planets orbit around. It is usually aligned in the suns position itself.

When the largest of the planets come together in a particular grouping they create a special set of circumstances where the interconnecting gravitation pull is such that the Sun appears to rotate backwards against the barycentre.

This rarely happens, just seven times in the last 3400 years, when generations experience the effect, the last was in 1989/1990 there is an accelerated rate of social change. i.e. the Berlin wall came down, symbolizing the death of an ideology. There were many upheavals in the Balkans.

The Earths weather patterns changed fires in Indonesia, America and Australia, floods and bad winters elsewhere.

The last time this event happened, in 1810-1812 and prior to that in 1632-1633 the weather made massive changes but also the weather drove people from one place to another. The cause may be different, but Europe has certainly seen a mass population move, many have moved into the UK.

Looking at earlier effects of this phenomenon, the effect has been felt for up to 20 years. It looks like change is with us until 2010, this is likely to have a massive destabilising effect on different economy’s.

World refugee problems and crisis and frictions between nations are likely to stabilize in time, watch for 2008, numerically a 10 year, when new attitudes will emerge.

Bayer Nomenclature

It was Johann Bayer (1603) who first used the letters of the Greek alphabet in constructing a star name related to magnitude, a Greek letter is used with the Latin possessive form of the name of the constellation in which the star is located.

The names were given to the brightest stars in each constellation, starting with apha as the brightest and omega the faintest. An early method of identifying magnitude.

The Greek letters are:

a b g d e z h q i k l m u x o p r s t u f c y w

Their names respectively are:

alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu

nu, xi, omicron, pi, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega

Benefic

The planets Jupiter and Venus, but also the waxing Moon [moving towards full Moon]

Besieged

Traditionally a besieged planet is one that sits between Saturn and Mars in the same sign, and the effect is very detrimental to that planet, there is no way to turn, it is basically cornered, and the person/situation it relates to in the chart will feel that way.

Today besieged includes extends to one planet being in a different sign, also besieged can be benefic if surrounded by Jupiter and Venus.

Natal charts aspects act as gifts, besieged planets are referred to transits.

Binary stars

At least half the stars in the Universe are multiple star systems in orbit around each other; a pair orbiting each other is a binary star.

Black Hole 

Astronomers consider that when a body becomes so massive for its size that not even light escapes from the powerful gravitational pull it exerts, it is called a black hole. It is thought that Black holes occur whenever a star exceeds 3 times the mass of the Sun, it collapses after fusion has stopped.

Kryon tells us that black holes come in pairs, one is huge and the other tiny by comparison and located quite close, they balance the energy in the galaxies.

Astrologically black holes depict areas of susceptibility to dramatic and intense, sometimes violent and usually unsuspected shifts in our reality.

They also show points of energy influx, or energy drain. In finance they show “Giving away”, “taken away” and losses.

There are many black holes, but the largest and most notable is Cygnus x-1 at 13 degrees Aquarius on the ecliptic.

i.e When Mercury was 14 degrees Libra rising at the time of 9/11 it was aligned with a black hole. Mercury was considered the “action” symbol in the chart at that time.

Black Moon

There are different meanings for the black Moon in astronomy and astrology, in astronomy it is the absence of a new Moon in a month the next time this happens in August 30 2008.

Black Moon is the mean Lunar apogee [a point when the Moon is furthest from the Earth].

Sometimes an alternative name to black moon is Lilith.

The point opposite the Black Moon is called Priapus.
