ARGOLI (9)

Philip III 

(Spanish: Felipe; 14 April 1578 – 31 March 1621) was King of Spain. He was also, as Philip II, King of Portugal, Naples, Sicily and Sardinia and Duke of Milan.
A member of the House of Habsburg, Philip III was born in Madrid to King Philip II of Spain and his fourth wife and niece Anna, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II and Maria of Spain. Philip III later married his cousin Margaret of Austria, sister of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor.

 [Placidus, PM, 2h47 pm, 146 - Argoli, 166, idem - Leo, NN, 598 - cf. Magnier, Pedro de Valencia and the Catholic Apologists of the Expulsion of the Moriscos, p. 133 - Magnier says that the ASC would be in SAGIT because of the conjunction of JU and SA that occurs in November 1578...]

On April 24, 1619, King Philip III begin a trip to Portugal, for a visit of six months, planned but often postponed visit whose political and symbolic dimension did not escape the contemporary chroniclers. The oath of loyalty lent to Prince Philip, the solemn meeting at Lisbon of the Cortes of Portugal, not assembled since 1583, the triumphal entry of the King, after twenty years of royal absence on Portuguese soil, mark the highlights of this journey. [...] The king's sickness, on the way home and his death, - authorizes the declared opponents of this trip to establish an indisputable link between the political decisions which are at the origin of this journey and the tragedy of illness and death of the King. The death of the sovereign, although occurring more than a year after the return of Portugal, is also a death announced. Rumors, apocalyptic predictions and prophecies of the death of the king, heard and broadcast before the departure find confirmation in the harmful outcome of the trip.

I)- natal chart

 Juan Pérez de Guzmán y Gallo (Editorial MAXTOR, 2011), p. 268: "nació en Madrid 14 de Abril de 1578, entre las doce y una de la noche." [see https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Felipe_III,_King_of_Spain]
But we see that Argoli and Placidus give another birth hour.

• ASC CAPRIC, ruler SA (I)
• MC SCORPIO, ruler MA (I)
• MO CANCER opposite SA
• SU cadent, JU (VIII) opposite ME
• VE detrimental

 Morinus gives MA for ALMUTEN and the alcocoden is SA.

- HYLEG : MA (SU and MO can't be hyleg - the chart is preventional and sygyzy was 26°42'11' ARIES, so in conjunction with VE - Observe that we have POF conjunction ME )
- ANAERETA : possible JU (?)

II)- primary directions

The hyleg is not easy to find; indeed, SU is in III (cadent place) and MO is close to the DSC, in opposition to SA; SA is well disposed, in I and ruler of the ASC; only MA, who is also the ruler of MC, may seem to take the place of hyleg, although it may seem illogical to consider an anaerete as a benefactor; moreover, two planets are detrimental: JU in VIII, in close opposition with ME. VE seems also very weak.

1)- MA conj VE

This direction is interesting in so far as VE is both ruler of the SU (TAURUS) and JU (LIBRA).

- results

We find 1 DP (mundane C Regio-Campa) with key factor AR D = 46.34°.

2)- MA opp JU

It is a converse direction (with the definition of ancient astrology).

- results

We find 2 DP (1 C Regio-Campanus and 1 Placidus).
