ARGOLI (7)

COLONNA, Ascanio (1560-1608)

April 3, 1560 (This is according to Andrea Argoli, Andreæ Argoli D. Marci Serenissimo Annuente Senatu Equitis, In Patavino Lyceo Mathematicas scientias proftendis. De diebus criticis et de ægrorum decubitu libri dvo (Patauij : Apud Paulum Frambottum, 1652), p. 160; ; in the 16th-17th century, astrology was a considered a science; establishing the exact dates of birth and death was extremely important to accurately compose the astrological charts; the latter author, a professor of mathematics at La Sapienza University in Rome, was a contemporary of the cardinal; his genealogy indicates that he was born in 1569).

Neapolitan and Venetian patrician. Of the Paliano line of the Colonna family. Son of Marc'Antonio Colonna, duke of Paliano and Tagliacozzo, and Felicia Orsini.

I)- natal chart

- ASC ARIES, ruler MA (TAURUS, detriment)
- JU (I) ARIES, sextil SA
- MC CAPRIC, ruler SA
- VE (XII)

- ALDEBARAN conj SA

• HYLEG : JU
• ANAERETA : SA
• ALCOCODEN : MA

Morinus gives MA for ALMUTEN.

II) primary directions

1)- exitus : 1608

a)- SA # JU : it is a mundane converse direction.

- compute mundane #JU : domitude Campanus 359.11° (with latitude)
- then, compute the resultant zodiacal longitude : #JU = 1.82° ARIES.

Observe that latitude #SA is + because the # is in a north quadrant.
- result

We have found 2 converse directions Regio and Placidus ; 1 AO and 1 Goldmayer Regio.

c)- SU # MA

Another typical direction.

Observe that the mundane converse direction - with software Morinus - is the same that the zodiacal direct directions.

We have the same rays - with a mirror effect. We find the same direction : SA#JU and also MA conj VE.

- compute mundane #MA : 328.62° (domotude Campanus)
- zodiacal #MA (with - latitude) : 307.11° AQUARIUS

 - results

We count 2 directions.

2)- Cardinalate - Priesthood - Episcopate

 a)- cardinal 1586 : MA conj ME (D = 26.543°)

We find exactly the same result as Morinus : D = 26.54 Regio-Campa (orb -0.04, key PTO)

b)- conclaves 1590 : MA conj JU

Here, we find 3 directions (the Morinus one is D = 30.596).

c)- cardinal-priest 1599 : SA conj JU

At this time, it is difficult to say if this ray is good or bad... But, we know that SA is the ruler of MC. The direction is : D =  39.027 (Morinus). It is a regio-campa converse.

d)- episcopate of Palestrina 1606 : MA conj VE

It is the last good direction... The death occurs 2 years later. D = 46.467°.

 The D Placidus of 46.765 is closed to that of Morinus. If we report the ecliptic position of VE, we find :
- with the AR key factor of 1.084 (i.e. arc = 49.87, year = 1609.88) L(VE) = 59.38° TAURUS.
- with the EQU factor of 1.025 (i.e. arc = 47.17, year = 1607.17) L(VE) = 55.99° TAURUS.

The question of the transformation of the direction arcs into a calendar year is not solved ... Morinus thus foresees in his DP options on the subject matter the occurrences of pseudo-astronomical integer, domitude and longitude.

rapt-parallel :

We have computed the Rp SU|SA for Campanus and Regiomontanus. Morinus gives this Rp for Placidus C SU|SA =  48.471, so 1608 (year of death).

We find a Regio Rp = 48.0° for the PTO key convert.
