PROUST

Marcel PROUST (1871 - 1922)

By the age of nine, Proust had had his first serious asthma attack, and thereafter he was considered a sickly child. Proust spent long holidays in the village of Illiers. This village, combined with recollections of his great-uncle's house in Auteuil, became the model for the fictional town of Combray, where some of the most important scenes of In Search of Lost Time take place. (Illiers was renamed Illiers-Combray in 1971 on the occasion of the Proust centenary celebrations.)

Proust spent the last three years of his life mostly confined to his bedroom, sleeping during the day and working at night to complete his novel. He died of pneumonia and a pulmonary abscess in 1922. He was buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. [see : Marcel Proust, George D. Painter, chapter 17, the two ways meet, tome II, 1959, 1987]

I)- natal chart

• ASC ARIES, ruler MA (VI)
• MC CAPRICORNUS, ruler SA (IX)
• MO (I)

- HYLEG MO
- ALCOCODEN MA
- ANAERETA SA

Morinus gives MO for ALMUTEN. MA (LIBRA) and VE (VIRGO) are detrimental. Moreover, we have quadrature MA-SA, opp JU-SA. MO is well disposed in TAURUS.

2)- primary directions

A)- The 1st direction we are interested in is MA opp SA.

- result

D --> Z D Placidus AR (orb -0.19). Observe that a zodiacal direction is without latitude but with proper direct movement.

Dom Placidus = 8.48° ; so L(z) opp SA = 36.3° TAURUS. Observe that  we compute the Placidus arc with the Boudineau's circle of position (cf. Max Duval, les moyens de pronostic en astrologie).

C)- the 3rd direction is the mundane square SU to SA
