Sidereal Astrology FAQ ..
Daniel Ioseph Min
Q1. Is sidereal astrology based on the stars?
A1. Yes. Sidereal astrology references positions
of planets on the caelestial zodiac. As with
all astrology it is centered on the ecliptic
zero degrees latitude, with longitudes taken
from Aldebaran fifteen degrees Taurus proper
motion accounted for. Practicing astrologers
should reference at least several stars near
longitudinal conjunction with planets, where
chart accuracy is the primary concern. As we
see, astronomical accuracy is fundamental to
accurate astrological deduction of the chart,
but inaccurate charts are in danger of error.
Thus Nostradamus wrote there is nothing less
uncertain than strict astronomic calculation.
Whereas--by logical deduction--no one claims
to be master thereof on account of difficulty
that which is read. This takes much practice,
and requires both caelestial and terrestrial
calculations. Note I've thoroughly addressed
the latter in the new Judicial Astrology FAQ.
Q2. How does sidereal astrology differ from common
tropical astrology?
A2. First, see the Tropical Astrology FAQ posted
on this archived webpage:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=7LSK9A0M3726...@anonymous.poster&output=gplain
As you see, tropical astrology tracks months
of the tropical year, but not a place on the
caelestial sphere. For caelestial astrology,
we must always refer to the sidereal zodiac.
Q3. The word "constellation" seems to have several
meanings. What does constellation really mean?
A3. A constellation is exactly 1/12th of the sky.
Thus, each constellation measures 30 degrees
longitude by 180 degrees latitude--measuring
from ecliptic pole-to-pole. That's all it is.
There are a few other dictionary definitions
which of course are impertinent to astrology.
To avoid confusion with "constellations", as
defined by orthodox astronomers in the 1930s
(more appropriately known as asterisms), you
would do well to say zodiacal constellations.
That way, there can be no possible confusion.
Q4. I've read that some sidereal astrologers, like
Fagan, Allen, Firebrace, Gleadow, et al, refer
to an "ayanamsa" or offset of the vernal point
from zero degrees caelestial Aries at any date.
What gives with this? Why reference the vernal
point at all for strictly sidereal astrology?
A4. Most if not all modern astronomy & astrology
software refers to the vernal point and that
is the only plausible reason for referencing
an ayanamsha in sidereal astrology. Astrolog,
for example, requires that you set Aldebaran
15 Tau by subtracting the difference between
the vernal point and 15 Tau minus 45 degrees;
which, at this writing, is near to -24.81680.
Don't use this figure! But calculate for the
precise epoch of date and time of your chart.
Just remember, Aldebaran must be 15Tau00'00"
or else your charts will be in error.
Q5. Some talk about Spica as located about 29Vir06,
but this places Aldebaran slightly off 15Tau03.
What's the most accurate star to reference for
the caelestial "prime fiducial" of the zodiac?
A5. Aldebaran 15Tau00 is the most common ancient
reference as observed by the Babylonians and
Parthians who were the top-notch astronomers
of ancient times, although certainly rivaled
by the ancient Mayans, and other astronomers
of more ancient times whose records are lost
to antiquity. Considering that the Magoi who
predicted the star of Jesus were Babylonians,
Parthians (many were descendants of Abraham),
this is sufficient authority for Al-debaranu
at 15 degrees Taurus above all others. There
are many fiducial stars, the most "fixed" of
which would have zero proper motion, such as
the galactic center, a.k.a. "Sun of our Sun"
2Sag03'07" -5:36'28" at this writing, 30-Jan-
2002, which at 2Sag matches with Al-debaranu
15Tau for establishing all longitudes in the
caelestial a.k.a. sidereal zodiac. Aldebaran
has proper motion, and so all charts must be
calculated for epoch of date, with Aldebaran
defining 15Tau00 proper motion accounted for.
The fact that you can see Aldebaran or Spica
with the naked eye makes stars preferable to
invisible (but powerful) objects like Sgr A*.
Again, Aldebaran at 15Tau is the most common
ancient reference, and was used by the Magoi.
They are the best astrologers in all history,
and no one today could hold a candle to them.
If anyone wants to argue with this then I do
ask When was the last time you predicted the
very day that God would be born in the flesh?
The bull's eye on the constellation ruled by
Venus inferior in the iris = Aldebaran 15Tau.

No, it's bullshit that you insist on spamming to groups that don't want your shite!
