ARGOLI (13)

Henri IV

13 December 1553 – 14 May 1610), also known by the epithet "Good King Henry", was King of Navarre (as Henry III) from 1572 to 1610 and King of France from 1589 to 1610. He was the first French monarch of the House of Bourbon, a branch of the Capetian dynasty.

[Placidus, PM, 151 : 14h 13 - Argoli, DDC 174 - idem - Astrodients : between 13 and 14h]

Henry was the subject of attempts on his life by Pierre Barrière in August 1593[40] and Jean Châtel in December 1594.
In the third assassination attempt, King Henry IV was killed in Paris on 14 May 1610 by a Catholic fanatic, François Ravaillac, who stabbed him in the Rue de la Ferronnerie. Henry's coach was stopped by traffic congestion related to the Queen's coronation ceremony, as depicted in the engraving by Gaspar Bouttats. Hercule de Rohan, duc de Montbazon, was with him when he was killed; Montbazon was wounded, but survived. Henry was buried at the Saint Denis Basilica.

A)- natal chart- we begin with 13h 30, as prescribed by Astrodients

•  ASC LIBRA, ruler VE (II)
• MC CANCER, ruler MO (VII, opp to ASC)
• MA exalted (CAPRI)

Morinus gives SA as ALMUTEN ; MA is strong and VE is detrimental (VIRGO)

 - HYLEG : ASC, (MA ?)
- ALCOCODEN : MA
- ANAERETA : SA, MA (in this chart, it is possible to consider that the anaereta merges with the alcocoden.

3)- #MO conj SA

Given that SA is considered as ALMUTEN, I will compute this direction because it is interesting from a theoretical point  : it is about a converse arc which relates to what writes Max Duval in the Moyens de pronostic en astrologie [Editions Traditionnelles, 1986,] , precisely about the converse mundane directions. Max Duval writes, p. 31, that

"it leads to the remarkable result of the possible recourse to celestial latitudes without any artifice [...] (and that it) becomes perfectly useless to calculate the longitude Lp of the fixed points ..."

We have the illusion that MO has moved counter clockwise while it is the primum mobile which has brought SA closer to the ASC-DSC axis until it is placed in conjunction with #MO.

The efficient direction is here: D (Regio-Campa) = 58.443 (1/EQU = 0.98).

C)- SA opp MC

We have said elsewhere that the axes can only be engaged (by their own motion) in a direct direction. On the other hand, we can determine a converse direction of a planet to an axis. Here we compute the converse direction SA conj IC.

Dc = BPO_MOB + APO_FIX + AR_F - TS (Dc : converse direction)


where :

BPO_MOB = DEGRES(ACOS(-TAN(RADIANS(pole_campa_m))*TAN(RADIANS(dec_f))

pole_campa_m = 32.62° and dec_f = -7.52°

and :

APO_FIX = DEGRES(ACOS(TAN(RADIANS(pole_campa_m))/TAN(RADIANS(latgeo))

AR_F = 294.664° and TS = 114.664°

So, D (Campa) = 57.457° and D(Plac) = 54.87°

Observe that the direct direction is given by :

Dd = AR_M - TS ; AR_M = 342.322°, so D = 47.658° (Dd = direct direction)

and that when you take the MC, it is always a direct direction.

III)- discussion

We know that the time of birth is known to the half-hour. You notice that on the directed theme, VE and SA radix are almost located in the same declination; if we consider (post hoc hypothesis) a time of birth of 1:15, VE and SA are in exact //. It follows then that during the directions of 1610, MA and MO form a rapt-parallel flanking the MC. We then have the following figure, strangely symmetrical where in addition SA directed is in opposition to MC. What's more, in this situation we have a // from SA (ALMUTEN) to MA (ALCOCODEN).

natal chart for 1h15 (post hoc)

So we see a very interesting set of joint directions in conjunction and in //. The nature of the main highlights (ALMUTEN, ALCOCODEN) involved in several of these directions is unique in the configuration of the theme and may suggest an exceptional event. In this case, it was a paroxysmal event: an assassination.
