Traditional Approach to Eclipses - April 8th 2024

Lets approach the April 8 2024 Solar Eclipse using traditional principles as outlined in Hephaistio's Apotelesmatics text:

We can see here that there are a series of considerations:

1.) The Actual Regions of Visibility
2.) The stations and key synodic phases of the planets occurring during the eclipse
3.) The Time of day the eclipse occurs
4.)The duration of the Eclipse from start to finish
5.) Interpretation

Although this Eclipse will apply to the entire path of visibility across the U.S., for ease of use, let us consider its visibility (#1) in San Antonio Texas.

Let us first consider the effects of Duration (#4) and Time (#3).

The first thing we can consider is that the Duration (#4) of the Eclipse lasts 2 Hours and 39 minutes, which for a Solar Eclipse, converts to an effect lasting 2 years and 8 months after the Eclipse is observed.

For The Time and Fruition of the Results (#3) of this eclipse we check the Time of Day in which the Eclipse occurred. In the above chart, the Eclipse occurred at Midday, meaning that the effects of the Eclipse will be most strongly felt 1 year and 4 months from the date of the Eclipse (i.e. August 2025).

The next consideration is to determine which planets were making stations or special phases within their individual synodic cycles.

We can also see that certain alignments have a coinciding intensifying effect, while other alignments have a diminishing or relaxing effect.


In this case, Mercury is in the process of passing through important synodic phases within its cycle (#2).

First, let us consider which of the 7 types of Visibility Mercury is currently in. To do this we will reference the Jyotish text "The Brihat Samhita:"

From previous emergence of the Sun , retrogradation, and submergence back into the rays of the Sun, Mercury was visible for approximately 18 days.

This places Mercury either in a Theekshna or Ghora course (both of which are malefic). Such courses are said to bring adversity to the mundane sphere.

Looking into the Orbital conditions of Mercury we see that it's currently in a Fire-Sign Trinal Retrogradation Cycle (in which Mercury will be retrograding only in Fire signs from April 11 2024 to November 19th 2025).

Looking into Mercury's Vertical cycles we see that just 7 days before the Eclipse mercury stationed in its First of 5 vertical stations within its extended Northern Declination cycle.

We also see that 6 days before the Eclipse Mercury stationed Rx in the sign of Aries, and is traveling at -64% of its speed during the Eclipse.

Because of this slower motion of Mercury, it will ignore the nearby Jupiter and New Moon influence and sink into the sign of Aries, blending into the nature of Mars.

This gives the malefic combination of Mars influencing Mercury, both by sign, and also due to Mercury's station in declination. The effects (#5) of such a Mer-Mars combination give rise to thieves, fraudulence, etc:
Further, within the actual eclipse chart, the New Moon occurs between Venus and Jupiter and the Moon applies to Mercury. For the diurnal angles of San Antonio, Venus is strong and angular while both Saturn and Mars are fallen away (cadent).

Seeing that this Eclipse will effect leaders such as Governor Abbot and President Biden another approach would be to see how the Eclipse directly influence there personal Charts.

A personal lunar cycle based on the increasing and decreasing periods of magnetism, will power, vitality, influence, wealth, etc?

All you need to know is your Natal Moon position and the position of the Transit Moon at any given time. I'm only going to show this system once, as it's a highly cherished and guarded principle.

With this knowledge, you will be able to more accurately use the larger changing lunar force in your favor.

This system has its use in everything from Medical to Electional Astrology.

The following Thread goes over the Combined Orbital Parameters and their Resultant Pattern Formations. 1.) Mercury contra-parallel the Sun

Odd thing to start with but important to clarify. Notice that the Green Dashed line coincides with smaller cycles and relief rallies in much larger Bull or Bear trends.

Notice for the 2023 one of these alignments occurs in October.

This thread will be fairly in depth for a 240 twitter word count.

It is the belated New Years thread, and is not necessary to fully grasp for the on-going astrology series to come.

I'll try my best to guide you through the concepts worth grasping (look for an *).

If only people really understood which return charts actually functioned and how to cast them. Sadly everyone is perpetuating an empty technique. I'll say one phrase: Tithi Pravesha and leave you with snippets from the Liber Hermetis. Few will understand.

That's the truth.

For tithi pravesha:
Take the natal degree range between the Sun & Moon falling nearest the Solar degree return. This is the lunar phase return; you will have 12 of these monthly returns every year. The effects will begin the day prior to the exact return at the nearest sunset.

EMPHEMERIS:
Quickly Finding Turning Points

A brief example of finding what's "important" in an ephemeris, for mundane events and shifts. 1.) The current Month is December 2022. Looking at the Longitudes we can see the Sun shifts signs on Dec 22nd. A solar shift usually has a range of 26-30 degrees in which mundane events briefly intensify.

Astrology of Earthquake Timing:
So as you can see here, Dutchsinse's method of using deep earthquakes to forecast how a seismic eave will travel through a region is key, but lacks a precise day.

Using mainly the Moons orbit you can find the precise day. Now I'm not going to give away the entire system. But it depends only on Jupiter, Sun&Moon. But mainly falls upon the Moons orbit for timing. Whereas the Sun-Jupiter determine an "Earthquake season."

I'll let you figure it out, but one very important timing key is the Ap/Node=Mo

I'm going to throw this out there as a free schizo-post, and then give you some traction for application.

What if time is not just linear, but a series of different qualitative "pockets of time" (much like each mirror pane in the infinity tunnel effect), and each of these energetic pockets of time are not necessarily connected in sequence, but rather in different kinds of numerical/harmonic patterns which leap over and weave amongst each other?

Each little moment of time is connected in different ways and

King Charles III and The Turning of the Seasons according to Ptolemy:

Recently, I've been interested in the rationale behind this 17 day period of mourning (which was changed from 10 days; for unknown reasons),and I think I now see why: it's astrological. 1.) Claudius Ptolemy's - Tetrabiblios - Book II - Chapter XI:

The charts of the Seasons are obtain from the nearest Full or New Moon to the entrance of the Sun into the Equinoxes or Solstices. This in turn divides the year into 4 main sections; having their own results.

October 25 2022 Solar Eclipse & Queen Elizabeth II:

Given that the writing is on the wall, let us explore the upcoming Solar Eclipse of October 25 2022 in relation to the planetary positions of Queen Elizabeth II birth chart. Traditionally Solar Eclipses represent a transference of power amongst the ruling elite in the region of its path of visibility. Whereas Lunar eclipses affect the general public, cultural, and class strife amongst the populace.

The Future BTC Trends:
This thread is a primer for astrologers on how to do technical analysis solely using time. Price is not discussed, just trend changes and cycles.

Only Mercury's cycles will be used as BTC has 88 day cycles and variations of 88 and 44. 1. Mercury 0 declination marks the Top of cycles.
1. We can see the dates of Merc crossing 0 declination in blue which approximate tops.
2. Applying uniform orbital motion correction gives the corrected Precise tops in red denoted by the "P."

USING THE MOON TO BUY & SELL:

I am not apt to giving away the secrets I've collected through research, but here is one technique which is well known thanks to the efforts of Dr. Benjamin N. Dyke's translation of Carmen Astrologicum from Umar al-Tabari's translation of Dorotheus THE RISING AND FALLING OF THE MOON:
The first consideration is the Lunar Maximum and Minimum Declinations and trend reversals.
But to ascertain this one must combine the ecliptic and nodal inclinations.

So as posted a long time ago this 18.6 year cycle along with the Mcwhirter and Saturn square Uranus combination is why economic hardship was predicted starting May 15th of 2022: 4-years of falling prices, business stagnated, breadlines, soup kitchens, despair, and unemployment. 1.) The point of this is to stress that with rising energy costs comes increased costs for transportation of goods. All of this will trickle down into every single product from animal feed to the distance between processing and packaging factories, & ultimately the cost of food.
