Catherine II Russia

Catherine II Russia

Catherine II - 2 May [O.S. 21 April] 1729 – 17 November [O.S. 6 November] 1796), also known as Catherine the Great, born Princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, was Empress of Russia from 1762 until 1796, the country's longest-ruling female leader. She came to power following a coup d'état when her husband, Peter III, was assassinated. Under her reign, Russia was revitalized; it grew larger and stronger, and was recognized as one of the great powers of Europe.

On 16 November [O.S. 5 November] 1796, Catherine rose early in the morning and had her usual morning coffee, soon settling down to work on papers at her study. Her lady's maid, Maria Perekusikhina, had asked the Empress if she had slept well, and Catherine reportedly replied she had not slept so well in a long time. Sometime after 9:00 that morning, Catherine went to her dressing room and collapsed from a stroke while on the toilet. Worried by Catherine's absence, her attendant, Zakhar Zotov, opened the door and peered in. Catherine was sprawled on the floor. Her face appeared purplish, her pulse was weak, and her breathing was shallow and laboured. The servants lifted Catherine from the floor and brought her to the bedroom. Some 45 minutes later, the royal court's Scottish physician, Dr. John Rogerson, arrived and determined that Catherine had suffered a stroke. Despite all attempts to revive the Empress, she fell into a coma from which she never recovered. Catherine was given the last rites and died the following evening around 9:45. An autopsy performed on her body the next day confirmed the cause of death as stroke. [wikipedia]

HYLEG is MO (IV). ALMUTEN is SA (Lilly) or VE (Ibn-Ezra and Omar). MA is combust and exile (TAU). JU is exalted (CAN) and ruler of MC (and probably ASC).
Observe a mundane trin between MA-SU and JU and 2 conj between MA, SU and MO, VE.

II. Primary directions

II,1 Catherine the Great came to power following a coup d'état when her husband, Peter III, was assassinated in 1762.

A. the Jupiter rays

There are two directions to consider for JU; the one that SU exchanges with JU : it must be then a zodiacal direction (in principle) as any direction that relates to SU. This is a zodiac direction converse. Then the TRI between SU and VE: this time, it is a converse mundane direction that highlights the TRI joining SU and JU in mundane radix.

1. compute mundane ∆JU

- mundane Campanus JU = 141.28°
- mundane ∆JU = 21.29°
- zodiacal ∆JU (Campanus) = 40.67° TAU with lat = - 1.09° (JU north node ~ 97.715° CAN (for 1729).

A,2 SU ∆ JU

As said before, it is a zodiacal ray, according to the fact that SU is on the ecliptic. The rule, therefore, is : for SU and axis, we must use zodiacal rays only (but we may use the latitude of planet, here for instance JU).

Conclusion

Ongoing reflections on SU directions and on conversion factors: it is becoming increasingly apparent that these conversion factors (Naibod, AR, EQU, Cardano, etc.) are no more than orbs. extending on either side of PTO. The question is: is PTO = 1 ° invariable or is it subject to variations, perhaps in relation to the extent of the houses? This is why we find in the analysis table a new item RATIO X / I that may allow us to go further in this research.
