A Cosmic Course! A horary on wheels! The Light beating the Devil!

First, the course on Basic Celestial Mechanics.

→ There will be four classes.

Lesson one. The basics.

Lesson two. The main circles.

Lesson three. Dividing the Sky.

Lesson four. Bits and pieces.

(The detailed program is on another post, here).

They will happen once a week, beginning in the first week of October.

The time and the day will be chosen based on the response from the students. There won’t probably be many people enrolled, most of the people interested came from two countries, and I will try to schedule a time which suits most, if not all, students.

But bear in mind I won’t be able to choose your best time, and I have to choose one.

As for the day, I have three good options for me, but that will depend on the best time — Monday, Friday, and Saturday.

So, if you’re interested, what I need you to do is.

1) Pay me, of course :).

My paypal ID is [email protected]. The course will cost 60 USD. BUT it will cost 50 USD if the payment is done until next Thursday (there will be a post on Tuesday with a reminder, and another on Thursday to mark the end of the offer).

2) Send me your time zone and whether you prefer classes on Monday, Friday, and Saturday. You can also tell me if you have a preferred time.

The course will happen on Telegram. It’s a fast, free, and easy-to-use app, and it records meetings almost flawlessly. People can write questions down in the chat of the Telegram group, and I’ll share the recordings into it.

I’ll transfer the edited recordings later to Gumroad, and give the students free access forever (I’ll publish it as a course for other people to buy and give live students a 100% discount on it; you’ll “buy it for free”).

Let me know whether Telegram is an impediment for you — but I must say I hate Zoom meetings.

I must stress, to avoid disappointments, that this will not be some high-tech thing. It will be just me, talking to the camera, from my office, and occasionally showing styrofoam balls and drawings on paper. But it worked as a charm when I taught the same course in Portuguese.

Last post was on a group of horaries by me on different situations involving my brother-in-law (you can check them here).

I left one chart out of it, and it’s an interesting one. Here it is.

My brother-in-law asked me if he could borrow my bike, and I said yes. It was around 9/10 in the morning. I had tried to talk to him over the phone, and asked my wife to try to reach him, unsuccessfully. So, I wanted to know if and when he would come back and if he would bring my bike with him.

I’m the ruler of the first, Jupiter, and the Moon. But my bike is also Jupiter, ruler of the second, so I only get the Moon.

My in-law is the turned third, so ruler of the ninth, Venus.

He coming back, in theory, would be easy: an aspect between me and him (or, as I saw in one of the horaries in the previous post, between him and my wife). But… how can I know whether he would bring my bike with him?

Here, in this chart, the way it is shown is by an antiscion. Jupiter — ruler of the second, my posessions, my bike — is, by antiscion, conjunct Venus, my in-law; so, it’s with him.

Now, will he come back with it? The Moon will conjunct Venus (and the Moon must be me, because Jupiter is my bike). Good. But it makes an aspect with Mars, first — it’s a prohibition.

Or, is it? Mars rules the third. It may be his former wife (we later discovered that he went there, and she told him — I will spare the reader of the complimentary adjectives she used to qualify him — to go away), but I am not sure; the question didn’t involve her. Whatever it is:

1) it has no ill intent against either me or him (it’s not in any debility of either the Moon or Venus);

2) has no interest in Jupiter (it’s not in any dignity of it); and

c) the aspect is a sextile, the weakest of all, against a conjunction, which is very strong.

It’s a weak prohibition. At first, I thought it could be a collection of light, but Mars and Venus did not make an aspect before, Venus was retrograde shortly before.

It’s weak enough for me to hope he’d come back with my bike; and so it proved.

But I wanted to know when, and it was important for me. The Moon/Venus conjunction gave twelve units — the context excluded other options, it had to be twelve hours; the Moon/Mars aspect would give us eight.

That’s the difference between 00:50 AM and 4:50 AM.

So, when did he arrive? A bit before midnight. I don’t have the exact time, but around one hour before the first option. Yes, the timing was much closer to the apparent prohibition than to the conjunction.

I don’t have a good explanation for that. No other aspect made any sense. The perfection of the Jupiter/Venus (trying to forget Jupiter is the bike, and using it as me) antiscial conjunction doesn’t give us the right time; neither would the perfection of the Jupiter/Venus square, or anything between the Moon and Jupiter, for example.

A not-that-good explanation would be that the chart answered the bike was with him, answered that he would come back, and that he would come back before I went to sleep: it gave me the info I needed, not the precision I wanted. I don’t tell the sky what to do.

(By the way, a word from our sponsors: if you like my approach to horary, I teach this stuff. Just send me an email and I explain the hows, the how longs, and the how muchs of the course).

This chart is so, so amazing, I can’t get enough out of it.

This is the birthchart for Father Gabriele Amorth, the famous exorcist. They are making (or have made) a movie about him.

He is signified by Venus, ruler of the first house.

The Moon rules the tenth house — both his career and the higher authorities.

They’re almost exactly conjunct by antiscion. That puts both together, but that’s not what I want you to see, it’s quite normal for people’s careers to be connected to them in their lives.

But this antiscial conjunction falls onto a very close, and important, opposition between the Sun (it rules the eleventh house — friends, salary, and gifts from Heaven) and Saturn (it rules the fourth, the lowest house of the chart).

More than that: The Sun naturally means Light. And Saturn can mean Darkness. The Greater Malefic, which rules the house beneath anything else, and is there, in Scorpio, below the horizon, opposes the Light that rules the house of the gifts from Heaven.

And the Moon/Venus conjunction falls onto this opposition, firmly on the side of the Light, which loves Venus (in its sign) and the Moon (in its exaltation). The North Node on the eleventh, and Venus (because of the combustion) and the Moon (in Leo) loving the Sun back just make it clearer.

But it gets better.

If you look closely at the dynamics of the opposition, Saturn is at 11 Scorpio and retrograde.

Venus is at 12, the Sun at 10. Saturn opposes Venus, and flees, but then it opposes the Sun.

If you still can’t read “exorcist” in bright letters all around the chart, that strange thing, neither a planet nor a star, Pluto, is on the tenth house cusp — his career is all about sending Saturn back down there.

That’s it, for now.

I hope you have liked it. See you soon.
