Affliction by Engagement
Affliction by Engagement Affliction by engagement occurs in two forms. In the first form, a star forms a right hex, right square, right trine or is on the right in an opposition with a malefic and both stars are in the same degree. We refer to that as affliction by degree. In the second form, […]
Affliction by Enclosure
Affliction by Enclosure A star is afflicted when enclosed by the rays of both malefics with no star intervening. Enclosure differs in part since it does not require the victim star to be forming a figure from the right. Example 110 Mars at 1° in the Cancer 8th House and Saturn at 5° in the […]
Affliction
Affliction Affliction draws on the concepts we’ve covered to this point. If you do not have a full understanding of the concepts you’ll struggle judging the condition of stars and misinterpret the chart. If you’re coming from “traditional” astrology your understanding of “affliction” is wholly corrupted because the Arabs and Persians mangled these concepts so […]
Spear-Bearing (Stars)
Spear-Bearing (Stars on the Primary Angles) The rules for this are: Any star in the 1st House or 10th House in any sign; and << — this is a requirement not an option Other stars in close proximity; and << — this is a requirement not an option Nocturnal stars as spear-bearers must rise after the guarded star while […]

Spear-Bearing
Spear-Bearing This is another concept mangled so badly by the Arab and Persian astrologers that the Renaissance astrologers messed it up even worse. The Classical astrologers couldn’t understand it. It got dumped by Modern astrologers who couldn’t figure out how to pervert spear-bearing into something totally useless. We cover the three types of spear-bearing: Any […]
Enclosure & Intervention
Enclosure Defined Enclosure is another concept that applies only to the benefics (Venus and Jupiter) and the malefics (Mars and Saturn). Again, we ignore the Lights (Moon and Sun) and Mercury, although each can be the victim or the beneficiary of enclosure by benefics or malefics. The three elements differentiating containment and enclosure are: Containment […]
Containment
Containment Some of you practicing corrupted forms of astrology like Medieval, Renaissance or Classical, or perverted forms like Modern astrology may have heard that Jupiter in the 8th House grants longevity and a peaceful death. That is true. Who would like to know why it is true? Before we start, this discussion applies to the […]
Counteraction by Placement
Counteraction by Placement You’re probably familiar with this by another name and that name is dispositor. The Arabs, Persians and Renaissance astrologers mangled it and then Modern astrologers ruined it with their “final dispositor” nonsense. Yes, Final Dispositor is really impressive and official sounding but the Modern astrologers got people chasing their tails. There’s only […]
