down, they are capable of making others feel better. They are apt to
dislike
weakness in others. Fire people perceive through pictures and sudden
flashes
of insight. A fire person will study something for a long time without
comprehending it, and then the significance will become clear in an
instant.
They tend to be involved with abstractions and, often in an effort to
bring
them into being, with matters that do not yet pertain to the real
world, at
least the world of consensus reality. There is always a strong mixture
of will
or desire and a need to transform, and often psychic. Most powerful in

good at creative and original thinking. Air people are concerned with
the
relationship of things in the outer world but is more interested in
abstractions. They are less taken up with the order that may be

understand others feelings and emotions and are capable of great
emotional
depth and compassion for others. Water people get information from
emotionally
toned perceptions that may come through the senses, they perceive by
means of
feelings. They perceive in a very personal way, and are less concerned
with
consensus reality than it is with personal experience. They are psychic
and
its difficult for them to translate their perceptions into words. Most
powerful in the 4th, 8th, 12th houses and still powerful when the

More On Houses
Fire Houses (life or personal houses)
People with many planets in these houses are inspirational and dynamic.
They
have great energy and enthusiasm, motivating power and religious
convictions.
Earth Houses (substance or possessive houses)
People with many planets in these houses are stable and usually are the
backbone of their communities and families. Their outlooks andvocational
aptitudes are concrete and practical.
Air Houses (relationships or relative houses)
People with many planets in these houses are the "people who need
people".
These house placements all describe the individual in relation to other
members of the community.
Water Houses (endings or terminal houses)
People with many planets in these houses are sensitive and feeling,
they are
the psychoanalysts and religious figures. These houses describe theinner most
soul, and the probable way that they will leave this earth. Not when,
just how
Angular Houses (corresponds to cardinal) 1, 4, 7 and 10
Planets in these houses have great potential for dynamic action and
their
influences are intensified. The 1st house represents independence or no
relationship. The 4th represents dependence, or the relationship of one
needing care to those who provide it. The 7th represents
interdependence, or
the relationship between equals. The 10th represents dominance or the
relationship between one in authority and those who are subordinate. The
relationships of these houses are not necessarily social relationships,as
they signify the four main orientations between oneself and anything.
Succedent Houses (corresponds to fixed) 2, 5, 8 and 11
Planets in these houses are not as powerful, but, just like the fixed
signs,
they give stability and purpose. They are also financial houses and
often
-
7/28/2019 Zodiac Charts
22/35
described as houses of resources. Planets in these houses have a
stabilizing
influence and the planetary energies in these houses are not usually
major
sources of crisis.
Cadent Houses (corresponds to mutable) 3, 6, 9 and 12
These houses do not have as much opportunity for action as the angular
houses,
nor do they confer great stability like the fixed houses, but they are
adaptable and get along well with others. They are to as the mental
houses.
The 3rd house signifies the minds routine, daily process. The 9th
house is
straining outward to comprehend the world. The 12th house is the fears
and
phobias (among other things) that may condition its responses. Houses 6
and 12
seem to be critical, in that planets in these houses represent issues
in life
that must be handled well if they are not to become major sources ofdifficulty.
General Guidelines for Aspecting
Keep these general rules in mind when you analyze a horoscope for
aspects.
1. Each sign has thirty degrees in it, from 0 degrees to 29 degrees.
2. Aspects are always figured by counting signs, not houses, otherwise
you
might overlook a sign that is intercepted in a house. Just because a
sign isnot on a cusp does not mean that it is not there. It is, and it has
thirty
degrees just like any other sign. If the first house cusp is in Cancer
and the
second house cusp is in Virgo, the sign Leo is intercepted in the first
house.
Each house does not necessarily contain thirty degrees.
3. When a planet is exalted or dignified it can integrate well and can
handle
all aspects in a more positive manner.
4. Check for out of sign aspects; these occur when a planet is at the
verybeginning or end of a sign. For example: Jupiter at 40 degrees Leo
square
Saturn at 28 degrees Aries.
5. An applying aspect (gaining in light) is stronger than a waning
aspect
(decreasing in light). The applying aspect shows something you are
working
-
7/28/2019 Zodiac Charts
23/35
towards; the waning aspect shows something that has been recently
learned.
6. Aspects to the Sun are the root, seed and plant of the character.
Basic
character is formed by the most exact aspects in the horoscope. Aspects
show
tendencies, abilities and disabilities, rather than attainment. In other
words, the natal chart shows your potential, but your free will
dictates how
much or how little you do with it.
Remember
1. The most important angles are the ones made to the Ascendant and the
Midheaven
2. Planets in strong close aspect to an angle, which are the four points
dividing the chart (especially those in square to it).
3. Planets in angular houses 1, 4, 7, 10 are stronger
4. When a negative sign rises, the mother gives the greater impression
When a
positive sign rises, the father gives the greater impression.5. Significators are the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven
Astrological Terminology
ASCENDANT = also called rising sign
ACTIVE SIGNS = also called masculine or odd signs
ANGULAR HOUSES = are also called angles or axes, correspond to
Cardinal
Signs they are 1, 4, 7, 10
ASCENDING PLANETS = those between the 4th house and the 9th house
APOGEE = the point in an orbit where the orbiting body is farthest from
the
Earth
BENEFIC PLANET = a beneficial planet. In horary, these are
traditionally Venus
(the lesser benefic) and Jupiter (the greater benefic). In addition,
the Part
of Fortune as well as several fixed stars, most notably Regulus and
Spica are
considered benefic
BESTIAL SIGNS = a traditional division of the signs which appears tocarry no
practical application in modern delineation. Aries, Taurus, Leo,
Sagittarius,
and Capricorn, are bestial signs because these represent four-footed
creatures
BICORPOREAL SIGNS = also called Double-Bodied Signs. Gemini,
Sagittarius,
-
7/28/2019 Zodiac Charts
24/35
Pisces. Originally Ptolemy referred to all of the mutable signs as being
bicorporeal and so Virgo was included
BITTER SIGNS = an archaic term referring to the Fire Signs
BLUE MOON = the expression refers to a relatively rare month in which
two Full
Moons occur, one at the beginning and one at the end of the month
BOREAL SIGNS = an archaic term referring to the Northern Signs Aries
through
Virgo
CADENT HOUSES = correspond to Mutable Signs they are 3, 6, 9, 12
COLLECTION OF LIGHT = when the two main significators have already
separated
from each other but each applies by major aspect to a third planet,
this third
planet can act as a transmitter and collect their lights bringing them
backinto aspect again. Whether the planets apply by direct or retrograde
motion to
the transmitting planet is of no importance. Furthermore, the
transmitting
planet is able to collect more than one pair of significators provided
they
are within the moiety of orbs. Although the outer planets are never
used as
main significators they can act as collectors of light
COMBUSTION = when the Sun is within 8 degrees and 30 minutes of a
planet,
especially when it is not a significator, either applying or
separating, it
combusts that planet and renders it powerless. Combustion can occur
either in
or out of sign as it is the Sun's moiety of orbs that is the deciding
factor.
Combustion has always been regarded as highly malefic in horary. When
the Sun
is conjunct the ruler of the ascendant it will result in negative
answers.
Combustion may occur as a result of collection or translation of light
where
planets are either separating or applying to combustion. Combustion
can also
occur when planets are within 8 degrees and 30 minutes of a parallel ofthe
Sun, especially when applying and the Sun is not a significator in the
question. This condition will also occur when a planet is conjunct the
Sun's
antiscion point. When the Sun is conjunct the ascendant degree either
separating or applying it can render the horary invalid. In other
words, there
is no way of telling the outcome to the question
-

CONTRA-PARALLEL = two planets possessing the same degree of
declination, one
in the north and one in the south
CO-SIGNIFICATOR = along with the significator which is the ruling
planet,
Lord, or ruling sign, in horary astrology the co-significator refers
additionally to a traditional planet or sign that relates to the matter
under
consideration because of certain astrological rulerships or associations
CULMINATION = 1. the arrival of a planet at the Midheaven (M.C., upper
meridian). Sometimes called "southing." 2. Culmination also refers to
the
perfection of an aspect
DEBILITY = a weakening of a planet because of its placement in certain
signs
and houses which are considered to be incompatible with the energy or
characteristics of the planet. A planet is said to be debilitated when
adversely aspected, in the sign of its detriment or fall, or in acadent house
DECANATE (Decan) = each sign of the zodiac occupies 30 degrees. Every
sign is
further sub-divided into 10 degree segments called Decanates ruled by
the
three signs of the same element. Thus, while all three decanates are
first and
foremost Arian/Martian in quality, the first decanate of Aries is the
strongest because it is also sub-ruled by Aries, the second decanate is
sub-ruled by Leo and therefore takes on an additional Leonine/Sun
flavor,
while the third decanate of Aries is sub-ruled by Sagittarius, taking
on a
Sagittarian/Jupiter flavor. There is a Chaldean division of each sign
into
three 10-degree faces ruled by the seven classical planets in Chaldean
order
starting with Mars ruling the first Face of Aries
DETRIMENT = a sign opposite the one ruled by a planet. For example, the
detriment of the Moon is Capricorn because the Moon rules the opposite
sign
Cancer. Being in detriment weakens a planet and is a debility. A person
represented by a planet in detriment may feel out-classed or be
obligated to
work, and in general will function at a disadvantage
DEXTER ASPECT = dexter means "on the right-hand side." A dexter aspect
is one
in which the faster planet is waxing, or increasing in light, with
respect to
the slower one. The faster (applying) planet is casting its rays to the
right
(dexter) to form the aspect because the more ponderous planet lies on
the
-
7/28/2019 Zodiac Charts
26/35
right side of the applying planet as viewed from the Earth. Lilly
says, "Dexter Aspects are contrary to the succession of Signs;" that
is, the
rays of the faster planet flow clockwise around the wheel to reach the
slower
planet as viewed from the Earth. If planets are direct in motion, a
dexter
aspect forms as a result of increasing angular distance between them so
that
the planets are moving toward an eventual opposition
DIGNITY = a condition which strengthens a planet's influence. Dignity
may be
essential due to an affinity or sympathy of a planet with a particular
region
of the zodiac, or accidental due to house position, planetary motion,
favorable aspects, etc. For example, if Mars is in Aries it is said to
be
dignified. If Mars is in the 1st House it is said to be accidentally
dignified
DIRECT MOTION = eastward movement of a planet in the order of the
zodiac signs
from Aries to Taurus to Gemini, etc. Retrograde motion is opposite to
direct
motion
DISPOSITOR = the planet that rules the sign or dignity another planet
occupies. For example, if Mars is in Libra, the dispositor of Mars is
Venus.
In addition, a planet can Dispose (Receive) another planet through any
of its
essential Ptolemaic dignities. Thus, the Sun will dispose by exaltation
any
planet in Aries because the Sun is exalted in Aries
DIURNAL CHART = a reference to a chart where the Sun is in houses 7
through
12, when the individual is born during the daylight hours
ECLIPTIC = the path through the heavens that all the planets appear to
follow
ELEMENT = also called triplicity and are fire, earth, air and
water,
they share certain common characteristics
EQUATOR = also called the horizon is the horizontal axis of thehoroscope
and refers to consciousness
EARTH SIGNS = the three signs in the Earth element are Taurus, Virgo and
Capricorn. Earth signs are considered practical, in touch with the
physical
world and having the strength of persistence and endurance
-

27/35
EGRESS = astrologically, the point at which a planetary body, or
luminary,
leaves a sign
ELECTIONAL CHART = a horoscope chart cast to determine the best time to
take
action. Electional astrology is the reverse application of horary
procedures
ELEVATION = the angular distance of a body above the horizon. An
elevated
planet in a natal chart is generally at the top of the chart near the
10th
House. Elevated planets are said to exert a strong influence on a chart
EQUAL HOUSE SYSTEM = a house system in which all houses are equal in
width.
Someone born with 5 Leo on the Ascendant would then have each House
cusp at 5
degrees of the succeeding sign; therefore their 2nd House cusp would be
at 5Virgo, the 3rd House cusp at 5 Libra etc
EQUINOX = the two points in the year when the length of the day is
equal to
the length of the night
EXALTATION = a sign in which a planet functions well. A form of
essential
dignity. Exaltation is next in power to dignity by ruling sign
FEMININE SIGNS = also called passive or even signs* are the Earth
and
Water signs, (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces).
Feminine
signs are said to be more receptive and introverted
FRUITFUL SIGNS = Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. They are known as the
generators
of life atoms
FORTUNATE SIGNS = Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra and Aquarius.
Are
considered most fortunate when on the ascendant, because they are of
positive
and have greater power naturally to cope
FIRST NATAL PLANET TO RISE = the first planet counter-clockwise from theAscendant
FRUSTRATION = when two significators apply by major aspect to each
other but
before perfecting the slower of the two, the planet doing the
frustrating,
aspects a third planet therefore frustrating the faster significator and
leading to a "no" or negative answer to the question. Although the
three
-
7/28/2019 Zodiac Charts
28/35
outer planets are never used as main significators, they can be
involved in
frustration. This is the first of two rules where inhibiting planets
have the
power to prevent major aspects from perfecting between significators
even
though they are within the moiety of their orbs at the time of the
question
FALL = a sign opposite the one in which a planet is exalted. A
significator in
its fall may indicate an unfortunate, helpless, insolvent, or cruel
person. A
planet in its fall may literally refer to a person who has fallen, been
disgraced, or suffered some kind of limitation. In charts about a
missing
object, it may have fallen down from where it was originally
FERTILE SIGNS = sometimes called fruitful signs; they are Cancer
Scorpio and
Pisces. These signs are said to be productive. When the Moon is inthese water
signs it is said to be a good time for planting
GEOCENTRIC = the Earth (geo) centered (centric) view of the solar
system. The
way the heavens appear from point of view Earth. Also, any measurement
taken
from the center of the Earth

HARMONIOUS ASPECTS = also called flowing, pacifying, mollifying
and easy
HORARY = the branch of astrology in which a chart is cast for the time
that a
question is asked in order to determine the answer to that question
IC = called imum coeli meaning the lowest heavens

results to the Placidus system
LUNAR ECLIPSE = happens at the time of a Full Moon, when the Sun and
Moon are
in opposition
LUNAR RETURNS = lasts for 28 daysSolar returns for 1 year

29/35
LONG ASCENSION = are signs that take longer to pass over the ascendant.
The
signs of long ascension are 00 Cancer through 29 Sagittarius
LILITH = often considered a small or 'dark' moon or asteroid, Lilith is
a
recent addition to astrology and research seems to show that it may be
variously associated with conflict resolution, self hatred in women,
related
to power and control issues, repression and misogyny
LUNATION = a complete cycle between two new moons, also referred to as a
synodic month. Lunations average 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 2.7
seconds.
The term Lunation is also sometimes used interchangeably with new moon
MIDHEAVEN = also called medium coeli meaning the middle of the heavens
MERIDIAN = is the vertical axis of the horoscope and refers to power
MASCULINE SIGNS = in one of many classifications of the signs of the
zodiac,
they are divided into masculine or feminine. Masculine signs are the
Fire and
Air signs - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. These
are
said to be more extroverted and active than the Feminine signs
MEAN MOTION = the mean or average daily motion of the planets is a
measure of
their average speed in degrees and minutes per day over the course of
several
years. The mean or average daily motion should not be confused with the
mean
or average value of the fastest and slowest possible speeds of the
planets
MIDPOINTS = a point half way between two other points. In astrology it
is the
halfway point between two planets or sensitive points in the chart, and
indicates a place where their combined energies are strong. If a third
planet
or sensitive point is close to or in hard aspect to a midpoint this
adds to
its significance in the chart
MUNDANE ASTROLOGY = the astrology of world affairs
MUTUAL RECEPTION = this occurs when two planets receive each other in
one of
their essential dignities. For example, Mars in Gemini and Mercury in
Aries
are in mutual reception because Mars rules Aries and Mercury rules
Gemini.
Mutual reception by ruling sign is the strongest. In order of strength,
there
-
7/28/2019 Zodiac Charts
30/35
can be reception by sign, exaltation, triplicity, term, or face. There
are
also mixed mutual receptions, as when planet A is in the terms of B
while
planet B is in the exaltation of A
MUTABLE SIGNS = qualities are a division of the signs of the zodiac
into three
areas Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. The four Mutable signs are Gemini,
Virgo
Sagittarius and Pisces. Mutable signs are said to be more adaptable and
flexible but can also be too changeable or easily swayed
NATAL CHARTS = also called radical and nativity charts
NORTHERN SIGNS = Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo. These
signs in
natural position constitute the northern portion of the zodiac
OCCIDENTAL = term applying to the western portion of the chart and a
planethere is descending or setting. Planets in the 10th to the 4th house
cusp are
occidental
ORIENTAL = refers to the eastern portion of the chart, any planet placed
between the 4th house and the cusp of the 10th is oriental
PLANETARY RULER = the planet that is harmonious in temperament with the
sign
it rules
PROHIBITION = a "no" or negative answer will result when two
significators are
applying by major aspect to each other but before perfecting, the first
receives a major aspect from a third faster planet such as Mercury or
Venus
which then in turn applies by major aspect to the second significator.
This is
the traditional description of prohibition. Nevertheless, if any planet
applies to one of the significators before they perfect their aspect,
this
will also function as a prohibition and will produce a negative answer
to the
question. This rule is the second example of an inhibiting planet in
action.
Although the three outer planets are never used as main significators,
theycan be involved in prohibition. These kind of prohibitions can in no way
effect aspects or other rules involving the Moon and main significators.
Prohibition involving the outer planets does not necessarily mean a
"no" or
negative answer
PONDERABLE PLANETS = Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter. Called this
because
-
7/28/2019 Zodiac Charts
31/35
they move slower than the others, requiring more time to complete their
cycle
and their influences are therefore slower to manifest
PEREGRINE = foreign, alien. Said of a planet posited in a sign where it
possesses no essential dignity; where it is neither dignified nor
debilitated
and appears to operate almost independently of other planets. It is
employed
in Horary Astrology where it is usually reckoned as a debility. In a
question
of a theft, a peregrine planet at an angle or in the second house is the
thief. However, no planet is considered to be peregrine if it is in
mutual
reception with another. Has come into more modern usage referring to a
planet
which is unaspected
PERIGEE = the point where two celestial bodies are as close as they can
get to
each other in their orbits, i.e., when the Earth and Moon are as closeas they
can get, the Moon is at Perigee to Earth
PRIME MERIDIAN = the Meridian that passes through the zenith, north,
nadir,
and south points of Greenwich, England's Horizon from which both time
and
Earth's longitude is measured
QUALITY = also called quadruplicities, these have certain qualities in
common, these are cardinal, fixed, mutable
QUERANT = in horary astrology, the individual asking the question is
referred
to as the querent
QUESITED = in horary astrology the quesited is the person, event or
thing that
is the subject of the question being asked
REFRANATION = perfection is denied when one significator applying by
major
aspect to the other significator turns either stationary retrograde or
direct
before completing the aspect. Although the three outer planets are
never used
as main significators, they can be involved in Refranation. This doesnot
necessarily mean a "no" or negative answer
RIGHT ASCENSION = the east and west measurement of a celestial body
along the
Celestial Equator. To plot a celestial body on the Celestial Equator,
the
declination is needed as well

SUCCEDENT HOUSES = correspond to fixed signs they are 2, 5, 8, 11
SATURN CHASING THE MOON = when the Moon and Saturn are in conjunction
and the
transiting speed of Saturn continues to equal that of the Moon
SIGNIFICATORS = are the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven
SOLAR ECLIPSE = happens at the time of a New Moon, when the Sun and
Moon are
conjunct
SHORT ASCENSION = signs that take a shorter period of time to pass over
the
ascendant. The signs of short ascension are from 00 Capricorn through
29 Gemini
SOUTHERN SIGNS = Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and
Pisces.
When placed in their natural positions are found to be south of the
equator inthe southern half of the chart
STRONG SIGNS = Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Aquarius. This term is
used for
the reason that these signs rising, gives the native a large muscular or
athletic frame
SUPERIOR PLANETS = Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Called
this
because they are superior to the Earth and beyond it from the Sun
SIDEREAL PERIOD = the amount of time expressed in Earth years that it
takes a
celestial body to make one complete orbit around the Sun
SIGNIFICATOR = a planet symbolizing a person or matter related to the
horary
question. The main significator is the planet ruling the cusp of the
relevant
house. Co-significators include the Moon for the querent and any
planets in
the house in question, or the planet ruling a sign intercepted in the
relevant
house. Some planets are natural significators, as Venus in questions of
relationship, and Saturn in matters of obstruction, etc.
SINISTER ASPECT = sinister means "on the left-hand side." A sinisteraspect is
one in which the faster planet is waning, or decreasing in light with
respect
to the slower one. The faster (applying) planet is casting its rays to
the
left (sinister) to form the aspect because the more ponderous planet
lies on
the left side of the applying planet as viewed from the Earth. With
sinister

aspects, the rays of the faster planet flow counterclockwise around the
wheel
to reach the slower planet. If planets are direct in motion, a sinister
aspect
forms as a result of decreasing angular distance between them so that
the
planets are moving toward an eventual conjunction
SUMMER SOLSTICE = cardinal point in the zodiac 00 Cancer. The point on
the
Ecliptic that is farthest north of the Celestial Equator. The Sun
reaches the
Tropic of Cancer, and the northern hemisphere experiences the longest
daylight
hours
SYNASTRY = the comparison between the interaction of two or more
charts, this
is a popular technique for evaluating romantic relationships but can
also be
used for partnership ventures or parent-child relationships
TRANSLATION OF LIGHT = this occurs when a transiting planet is
separating from
an aspect with one planet while simultaneously applying an aspect to
another
planet. The idea is that the transiting planet briefly connects the
other two
planets, imparting the influence (the light) from one to the other
TROPICAL ZODIAC = the zodiacal view based on correspondence with the
seasons
of four cardinal points along the Ecliptic; beginning at 00 Aries at the
Vernal Equinox. Sometimes referred to as "Moving Zodiac." The difference
between the Sidereal and Tropical Zodiac is a result of the precession
of
equinoxes
UNDER THE SUNBEAMS = between 8.5 degrees and 17 degrees from the Sun.
This is
a mild accidental debility. Greater than the moiety but less than the
orb from
the Sun's center. The origin of this concept may be the heliacal rising
of the
Moon which is obscured by the Sun's light until it is 17 degrees away
from the
Sun. Jonathan Clark added, "Although instructions for celebrating the
New Mooneach month are contained in the Old Testament, there was traditionally a
second celebration which occurred a couple of days later at the time
that the
moon could actually be seen for the first time; at the time of the New
Moon it
was, of course, invisible
URANIAN ASTROLOGY = sometimes referred to as the Hamburg School of
Astrology,

established in the early 20th century. It relies on hard aspects and
midpoints
and uses eight hypothetical planets in analyses
VOICE SIGNS = Gemini, Libra, the last part of Virgo and the first part
of
Sagittarius. When any of these signs are found on the ascendant or the
1st
house and Mercury and the Moon are strong and unafflicted, the native
will be
a good speaker
VOID OF COURSE MOON = the Moon is void of course when it cannot apply
within
the moiety of orbs to other planets. It cannot therefore: a. Apply or
move
towards another planet by major aspect. b. Apply or move towards the
parallel
or contraparallel of another planet. c. Apply or move towards the
antiscion
or contrantiscion degree of another planet. The Moon is not void ofcourse if
it applies to the ascendant degree within the moiety of its own orbs.
It is
not void if it applies to any of the outer planets within the moiety of
their
combined orbs. A void of course Moon may appear at the beginning,
middle or
end of a sign
VOID OF COURSE PLANET = a planet is Void of Course for that period in
which it
is devoid of major aspects (0, 60, 90, 120, 180 degree aspects) on its
course
through the zodiac. In the modern definition, the Moon or a planet is
void of
course if it makes no further Ptolemaic aspects before leaving its
current
sign. Also, the outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are included
in the
modern definition
VERNAL EQUINOX = the first day of spring, the Sun enters the vernal
equinox in
the sign of Aries Cardinal point of the zodiac-00 Aries. The point
where the
Ecliptic meets the Celestial Equator in the east. When the Sun hits this
point, we have equal hours of day and night
VERTEX = the point in space where the Ecliptic meets the Prime Vertical
in the
west
VIA COMBUSTA = the region from 15 degrees Libra to 15 degrees Scorpio
considered an ancient malefic tumultuous zone of the nature of Mars,
Saturn,
and now also Uranus. Used mostly in Horary astrology, the Moon here is a

consideration before judgment and traditionally may render the chart
not fit
to judge
WINTER SOLSTICE = cardinal point of the zodiac-00 Capricorn. The point
on the
Ecliptic that is farthest south from the Celestial Equator. The Sun
reaches
the Tropic of Capricorn, in the south, so they experience the longest
daylight
hours at this time
