WORSDALE (6)

Celestial philosophy, p. 178

The next is the Nativity of a young Lady. who was born at Boston, in the Country of Lincoln, on the 4th of May 1803, at twenty Minutes before eight o’ Clock ih the Morning; the above time fas given by her Friends, who informed me that I might depend on it being exact, as it was taken by a corrected Clock, with the greatest care. This Native died 6n the 11th of May, 1822, Aged nineteen Years, and seven Days.

The Dignity of Hyleg in this Geniture is claimed by Venus, who is not only in an Aphetical Place, but receives the proper Prorogatory power from every part of the Heavens, &c. which entitle her to possess that Dominion. I have computed the Anaretical Directions in full to the true giver of Life, not only to assist the genuine Student in his labors, but also to explain to him the vanity, and absurdity of selecting a false Prorogator, which is done in numberless cases, by which the fallacious Judgment of the Practiotioners is justly held in derision, and the invalidity of their $kill rendered contemptible to every Scientific observer in this department of Celestial Philosophy.

1)- natal chart

• ASC CANCER, ruler MO (V), LIBRA
• MA (I)
• MC PISCES, ruler VIRGO (IV)

Morinus gives VE for ALMUTEN. I have pointed this time the counter-antiscious and notated that both SA and MO exchange an antiscia. I don't agree with Worsdale when he claims that VE is the hyleg. On the contrary: we observe that both Ve, JU or MA are in significant detriment (exil). SU and MO can't be hyleg. So :

- HYLEG : must be ASC in spite of the presence of MA in (I).
- ANAERETA : SA
- ALCOCODEN : SU (* ASC)

The ALMUTEN is MO.

2)- primary directions

a)- MO C SA

Note : the #MO (without latitude) is in conjunction radix with SA : it is the ansticia.

'The literal meaning of the term is “counter-shadow" [...] The astrological term refers to the longitude of two planets positioned in opposite pairs of signs in the Aries-Virgo zodiac, which are “said to throw shadows on each other.” The ‘Enoch Zodiac’ model appears in Maternus' treatise Mathesis, Book 2, chapter 29,48 and according to Tester, it may he derived from Ptolemy's concept of signs which behold each other (Tetrabiblos, Book 1.15). Interestingly, Ptolemy explains the concept of “beholding" in terms of sundial theory, with a statement that each in the pair of signs concerned rises and sets in the same part of the horizon.

... because each of the pair rises from the same part of the horizon and sets in the same part. [Tetrabiblos, I, 15]

Neugebauer stated that Ptolemy mentioned the antiscion in his treatise, On the Analemma,with regards to the theory of sundials. Elsewhere, Neugebauer informs us that Ptolemy’s information in this text either did not exist, or if it did, it has not survived.' [Zodiac Calendars in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Their Reception: Ancient ... Par Helen R. Jacobus, p. 358, Brill, 2015]

We have 2 DP (Regio and Placidus).

b)- MA conj ASC

Converse ray of MA to ASC. D = OA(asc)-OA(MA) = |67.49- 84.66| = 17°.

c)- VE opp SA

This direction is indicated because Worsdale calculated it. It shows that the method indicated by Giuseppe Bezza was used by the astrologers of the nineteenth century.

and we have taken the same ray, by opposition of VE to SA; so VE = 182.32° and SA = 164.01° of longitude. We find that the pole of VE is 20.54° (Worsdale find 21.30°) ; the diurnal horary time of VE is HTD = 14.88 (W find 14.53°) and same for SA HTD = 13.129° (W : 13.07°). The sume of horary times is 28.017 (W 28) and the golden rule gives : 7.78° ; we add the 'primary distance' of SA from the IC (i.e. : 99.887° - 90° = 9.887°) to 7.78° and obtain the arc of direction : 17.677°.
