Astrologer's Tip: Zodiac and planetary body part rulers and the aura

-
The Twelve signs probably correspond to the aura (the cloud, or luminous mist which surrounds the man).  The ascending sign might be taken to represent the physical body, and the Moon that which is now known as the "etheric" or the body drawn from the ether upon which the physical body is built; the planets Mars and Venus as representatives of the "astral" or desire body; Saturn and Mercury the mind body, and Jupiter what is known as the casual body or vehicle of the individuality. The various grades of matter, or the conditions through which the ego normally functions, are supposed to be indicated by the divisions of the signs into the groups of fire, air, earth and water- the fiery signs giving the finest ethers, the air the mental or "devachanic", the watery the "astral" matter, and the earthly the physical.

Aries governs the head and face.
Taurus, the neck and throat.
Gemini, the chest, lungs and extremities.
Cancer, breasts and stomach.
Leo, heart and back.
Virgo, the bowels and intestines.
Libra, the reins and kidnets
Scorpio, the secret parts
Sagittarius, the thighs.
Capricorn, the knees.
Aquarius, ankles and blood.
Pisces, feet

That is why the ancients said that it influences every deliberation and the beginning of any task. If it is in its ascendancy and its circumstances are favourable, anything which one may start at that moment will meet with success, and contrariwise if it is in the unfavourable circumstances. They added that, for the asker, you should observe the ascending sign wit...

Astrology Tips: Primary Directions from ancient and modern sources

From classical antiquity throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and even into the twentieth century, all the great names of western astrology, Dorotheus and Ptolemy, Masha.allah and Abu Ma.shar, Regiomontanus and Placidus, Morin de Villefranche, Naibod, Kepler, Tycho de Brahe, Cardan, Maginus, Argol, Gauric, Morin, Sepharial, Alan Leo, Kuehr and William Lilly have all used primary directions as a predictive technique. “The concept behind primary directions is that, in the hours after birth, the diurnal rotation of the celestial sphere brings the planets successively to the eastern horizon, upper meridian, western horizon and lower meridian.  The space in time between the moment of birth and the moment of rising, culmination, setting or lower culmination of a planetary body, converted to years of life at the rate of approximately 4 minutes of Sidereal Time to a year of life, yields a prediction which usually corresponds to a major life event consonant with the...
