ARGOLI (6)

URBANUS VIII

He was born Maffeo Barberini in April 1568 to Antonio Barberini, a Florentine nobleman, and Camilla Barbadoro. His father died when he was only three years old and his mother took him to Rome, where he was put in the charge of his uncle, Francesco Barberini, an apostolic protonotary. At the age of 16 he became his uncle's heir. He was educated by the Society of Jesus, ("Jesuits") and received a doctorate of law from the University of Pisa in 1589.
In 1601, Barberini, through the influence of his uncle, was able to secure from Pope Clement VIII appointment as a papal legate to the court of King Henry IV of France. In 1604, the same pope appointed him as the Archbishop of Nazareth, an office joined with that of Bishop of the suppressed Dioceses of Canne and Monteverde, with his residence at Barletta. At the death of his uncle, he inherited his riches, with which he bought a palace in Rome which he made into a luxurious Renaissance residence.
Pope Paul V also later employed Barberini in a similar capacity, afterwards raising him, in 1606, to the order of the Cardinal-Priest, with the titular church of San Pietro in Montorio and appointing him as a papal legate of Bologna.
On 6 August 1623, at the papal conclave following the death of Pope Gregory XV, Barberini was chosen as Gregory XV's successor and took the name Urban VIII.

1)- natal chart

• ASC LEO (and largely VIRGO), ruler SU (IX) and ME (IX, near MC)
• MC TAURUS, ruler VE (VII) PISCES
• MA conj MO (IX)

Morinus gives SU for ALMUTEN  (and ALCOCODEN is probably MA).

There is no special detriment in this natal chart.
- HYLEG : ME
- ANAERETA : SA
- ALCOCODEN : MA

special rays : mundane MO // VE -

2)- primary directions

We have to examine the theme of the converse direction of  then of direct direction. Indeed, the themes of direction of Morinus are realized in the following way:
- mundane natal chart converse directed = direct directed zodiacal natal chart
- direct mundane natal chart = zodiacal natal chart converse directed
This makes it easier to locate visual aspects in a mundane context; however, it remains a delicate task to realize: it is the identification - which can only be made by successive approximations - of the parallel aspects realized between the mundane part of the theme and the zodiacal part.

a)- 6 august 1623

 - converse zodiacal

Here, we have a major ray : C ME conj VE (VII).

We count 4 DP (2 direct zodiacal and 2 mundane) ; we count 1 fictitious AR.

- direct zodiacal

Hre, we have two kinds of direction : a)- D VE conj SU (a major and classical ray); b)- a mirror ray : D MO, MA // MA, MO

- we start with the mirror direction ; it is a mundane direction.
- We must find the // mundane MA, MO (which is the mirror of MO, MA because of symmetry).
-> domitude Campanus MA,MO = 338.409° ; i.e. // MO, MA = 21.59°.
-> longitude // MO, MA = 164.89° VIRGO
-> but, we have a proper motion of MO ; so // L(MO) = 162.79 -2.105 (- because the // ray is in this case retrograde). In the same order, the MO latitude is + because the dec of // MO is negative.

 b) exitus 1644

Urban VIII's death on 29 July 1644 is said to have been hastened by chagrin at the result of the Wars of Castro. Because of the costs incurred by the city of Rome to finance this war, Urban VIII became immensely unpopular with his subjects.
We have to examine two directions which are mirrored. D ME # SA and D SA # ME

- D ME # SA

- compute #SA mundane : 333.2° domitude Campanus
- L zodiacal #SA : 115.58° CANCER.

We find 2 DP (the L of directed SA is : 231.77° SCORPIO, corresponding to 76.68 years. If we adopt the following key factor conversion :

1,026	77,97	1 645,97	77 an(s), 11 mois et 19 jour(s

we find for 82.24 (key AR 1.082) : L(SA) dir. = 236.19 SCORPIO. It turns out that the key AR coincides with the arc of converse direction 82.16 ° (Regio-Campa).
