Ascensions and Bounds. Few techniques are more hyped in traditional western astrological circles  than primary directions. This is probably because they became a very popular predictive technique in Renaissance and late classical or early modern traditional astrology, during a time when the complexity of an astrologers mathematical abilities were more important than the veracity of her predictions. I frequently encounter the beliefs today that with primary directions one will have the number one key to predicting the timing of a persons death, that some specific type or combination of types of primary directions will time out the major events in a persons life to the very day that they occur, and that, because of the last belief, birth times need to be rectified, even if recorded with a stopwatch at birth, such that the important events in life line up with certain primary directions to the very day. While primary directions are a bit over hyped, they were used by various Hellenistic and Persian astrologers, and can be an important addition to the astrologers predictive toolbox. Directions through the terms and directions to angles, especially the Ascendant, are particularly powerful and useful, and are the earliest types used. I feel that it is best to start from the beginning, with the way it seems that primary directions were used in early Hellenistic astrology, and progressing gradually from there. I will not be getting into the incredible diversity in direction approaches that arises after the first millennium, but Im of the rather cynical opinion that the reader will be better off for that. In fact, according to Martin Gansten 2. Primary Directions, prior to the 1. What are Primary DirectionsAs youve probably heard, the Earth spins, and it takes 2. The planets rise, culminate, and set with this spin. But what if we were to freeze the positions of the planets in the sky relative to the Earth at birth, and then watch the planetary conjunctions and aspects that occur in the sky relative to this as the day goes on with the planets continuing to rise, culminate, and set If we did this we would see the primary directions, and the clock time that it would take for these conjunctions and aspects to occur would be the timing of these directions for instance we may equate 4 minutes of elapsed time with 1 year of life.

Right Ascension RA, such that 3. RA passes over the Meridian of the location in exactly 2 hours of clock time 3. In other words, if a planet were to culminate 8 minutes after birth, then wed convert this to degrees of RA as being a direction to the MC 2 degrees of RA after birth. Annual Key To convert these degrees of RA into a point in the life, we use the key 1 degree of RA 1 year of life. This key is sometimes called the Ptolemaic key, even though it was not Ptolemy that originally used it. This is the annual key used for primary directions until about the Renaissance, and thus its the only one well use. Remember, 1 degree of RA 1 year of life 4 minutes of clock time. Smaller Units of Time We now know that 1 degree of RA is symbolic of 1 year of life, but there are 3. RA is a day  1 degree is equivalent to 6. By dividing 3,6. 00 by 3. Gansten, M. 2009.

We really dont need that sort of precision, as primary directions are not really the appropriate technique for timing to the day anyway. Were especially not concerned with precision at this point, and when we do want greater precision we can let a good software program do the calculation for us. It was common practice in the ancient world to use approximate the year as 3. Estimating Primary Directions to Angles with Astro Clocks. Because about 4 minutes of clock time is equal to a year of life in the system of primary directions, one can actually use an astro clock to look at the time it takes from birth to when a planet conjoins or aspects an angle of the chart. Take the time, divide by 4, and you will get a rough approximation of the year and quarter when an event is likely to occur. Out of all primary directions that are aspect based as opposed to the very important time lord discussed below, these directions to the angles are most pivotal, especially the direct hits, so it is handy to be able to approximate these with ones astro clock or by manually time adjusting a chart. For instance, the divorce of Kurt Cobains parents when he was seven years old is often cited as a very influential event in his life. Looking at his natal chart we see that Jupiter is the ruler of his 4th of family, and that Venus a significator of the mother by day is conjunct Saturn in his natal chart. This Venus Saturn conjunction was a particularly significant combination in his musical career, his marriage to Courtney Love, and his suicide. Kurt Cobains Natal Chart. Sure enough, about a half hour about 3. Kurts birth Jupiter, ruler of the 4th, exactly aspects the Descendant, and Venus conjoins the Descendant. The setting of Venus is more significant here because it is a direction to the horizon itself, rather than a direction of an aspect of a planet to the horizon the Jupiter direction is from the trine of Jupiter to the horizon. While a traumatic parental separation may not strike one as a particularly Venus and Jupiter type of event, Jupiter, in Cancer and ruling the 4th shows the emphasis on parents, and Venus, being conjunct Saturn, shows the effect on his sense of relationships, and the loss and weight associated with that.

Jupiter Venus Saturn configuration coming due by direction to the Descendant.

Think in terms of natal significations that could be unlocked by the prominence that lining up with the axis horizon and meridian of your birth location can bring. Early Primary Directions. According to Gansten 2. CE, in the Carmen Astrologicum of Dorotheus and possibly also in a paraphrase of the early 1st century CE astrologer Balbillus. There are three things that you should know about the earliest primary directions There is an exclusive focus on the Ascendant though Dorotheus in his length of life technique appears to advise to direct from various points, so Gansten may have overstated this point. Which, I believe, is the reason that more women, nowadays than ever, are experiencing the hit and run with men. Why are you being treated like a hit and runThe rising of the bounds of a sign give rise to a time lord of the period as bound lord which sets the tone. Directions of planets to Ascendant and planetary aspects to Ascendant mark more transitory events. Astrology Wikipedia. Not to be confused with astronomy, the scientific study of celestial objects. Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial objects as a means for divining information about human affairs and terrestrial events. Astrology has been dated to at least the 2nd millennium BCE, and has its roots in calendrical systems used to predict seasonal shifts and to interpret celestial cycles as signs of divine communications. Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and some such as the Indians, Chinese, and Maya developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations. Western astrology, one of the oldest astrological systems still in use, can trace its roots to 1. BCEMesopotamia, from which it spread to Ancient Greece, Rome, the Arab world and eventually Central and Western Europe. Contemporary Western astrology is often associated with systems of horoscopes that purport to explain aspects of a persons personality and predict significant events in their lives based on the positions of celestial objects the majority of professional astrologers rely on such systems. Throughout most of its history astrology was considered a scholarly tradition and was common in academic circles, often in close relation with astronomy, alchemy, meteorology, and medicine. It was present in political circles, and is mentioned in various works of literature, from Dante Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer to William Shakespeare, Lope de Vega and Caldern de la Barca.

Astrology thus lost its academic and theoretical standing, and common belief in it has largely declined. While polling studies have demonstrated that approximately 2. Americans, Canadians, and Britons say they continue to believe that star and planet positions affect their lives,1. Etymologyedit. Marcantonio Raimondi engraving, 1. The word astrology comes from the early Latin word astrologia,1. Greekfrom astron star and logia, study ofaccount of the stars. Astrologia later passed into meaning star divination with astronomia used for the scientific term. HistoryeditThe Zodiac Man a diagram of a human body and astrological symbols with instructions explaining the importance of astrology from a medical perspective. From a 1. 5th century Welsh manuscript. Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indians, Chinese, and Maya developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations. In the West, astrology most often consists of a system of horoscopes purporting to explain aspects of a persons personality and predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial objects at the time of their birth. The majority of professional astrologers rely on such systems. Astrology has been dated to at least the 2nd millennium BCE, with roots in calendrical systems used to predict seasonal shifts and to interpret celestial cycles as signs of divine communications. A form of astrology was practised in the first dynasty of Mesopotamia 1. BCE. Chinese astrology was elaborated in the Zhou dynasty 1. BCE. Hellenistic astrology after 3. BCE mixed Babylonian astrology with Egyptian Decanic astrology in Alexandria, creating horoscopic astrology. Alexander the Greats conquest of Asia allowed astrology to spread to Ancient Greece and Rome. In Rome, astrology was associated with Chaldean wisdom. After the conquest of Alexandria in the 7th century, astrology was taken up by Islamic scholars, and Hellenistic texts were translated into Arabic and Persian. In the 1. 2th century, Arabic texts were imported to Europe and translated into Latin. Major astronomers including Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler and Galileo practised as court astrologers. Astrological references appear in literature in the works of poets such as Dante Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer, and of playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Throughout most of its history, astrology was considered a scholarly tradition. It was accepted in political and academic contexts, and was connected with other studies, such as astronomy, alchemy, meteorology, and medicine. At the end of the 1. Newtonian mechanics called astrology into question. Astrology thus lost its academic and theoretical standing, and common belief in astrology has largely declined. Ancient worldeditAstrology, in its broadest sense, is the search for meaning in the sky. Early evidence for humans making conscious attempts to measure, record, and predict seasonal changes by reference to astronomical cycles, appears as markings on bones and cave walls, which show that lunar cycles were being noted as early as 2. This was a first step towards recording the Moons influence upon tides and rivers, and towards organising a communal calendar. Farmers addressed agricultural needs with increasing knowledge of the constellations that appear in the different seasonsand used the rising of particular star groups to herald annual floods or seasonal activities. By the 3rd millennium BCE, civilisations had sophisticated awareness of celestial cycles, and may have oriented temples in alignment with heliacal risings of the stars. Scattered evidence suggests that the oldest known astrological references are copies of texts made in the ancient world. The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa thought to be compiled in Babylon around 1. BCE. 2. 4 A scroll documenting an early use of electional astrology is doubtfully ascribed to the reign of the Sumerian ruler Gudea of Lagash c. BCE. This describes how the gods revealed to him in a dream the constellations that would be most favourable for the planned construction of a temple. However, there is controversy about whether these were genuinely recorded at the time or merely ascribed to ancient rulers by posterity. The oldest undisputed evidence of the use of astrology as an integrated system of knowledge is therefore attributed to the records of the first dynasty of Mesopotamia 1. BCE. This astrology had some parallels with Hellenistic Greek western astrology, including the zodiac, a norming point near 9 degrees in Aries, the trine aspect, planetary exaltations, and the dodekatemoria the twelve divisions of 3. The Babylonians viewed celestial events as possible signs rather than as causes of physical events. The system of Chinese astrology was elaborated during the Zhou dynasty 1. BCE and flourished during the Han Dynasty 2nd century BCE to 2nd century CE, during which all the familiar elements of traditional Chinese culture the Yin Yang philosophy, theory of the five elements, Heaven and Earth, Confucian morality were brought together to formalise the philosophical principles of Chinese medicine and divination, astrology and alchemy. Ancient objectionsedit. The Roman orator Cicero objected to astrology. Cicero stated the twins objection that with close birth times, personal outcomes can be very different, later developed by Saint Augustine. He argued that since the other planets are much more distant from the earth than the moon, they could have only very tiny influence compared to the moons.
