ARGOLI (15)

LOUIS XIII

Louis XIII  (27 September 1601 – 14 May 1643) was a monarch of the House of Bourbon who ruled as King of France from 1610 to 1643 and King of Navarre (as Louis II) from 1610 to 1620, when the crown of Navarre was merged with the French crown.

[Argoli, 178]


The diary of Jean Héroard, Louis XIII's physician reported on several illnesses of the king, notably in 1616 and 1627. Louis XIII was to succumb in 1645 probably by Crohn's disease. [see FOISIL M. Journal de Jean Héroard, médecin de Louis XIII. Séminaire de Pierre Chaunu. Fayard, Paris, 1989, 2 vol. 3123 p. (Publ. du centre de recherches sur la civilisation de l'Europe moderne)

En l’année 1601, le 26e jour de septembre, Marie de Médicis, reine de France et de Navarre, se trouvant à Fontainebleau sur la fin du neuvième mois de sa grossesse, environ les onze heures du soir, commença de sentir quelques douleurs que l’on jugea pouvoir être d’enfantement. Toute la nuit elles furent lentes, la reprenant de loin à loin sans point de violence; continuèrent en la même façon jusques sur les deux heures après midi du jour suivant qu'il lui survint une colique venteuse qui la traita bien fort cruellement l’espace de deux heures et enfin s’apaisa par l’aide des remèdes qui furent faits; et fut après cela une bonne heure sans douleur aucune. Les premières la reprirent comme devant, mais aussi avec plus de rigueur et moins de repos ; passa jusques à huit heures en cette sorte. Alors on la leva de son lit, où elle avoit été toujours couchée, pour la mettre sur une chaise faite exprès pour accoucher, estimant qu’elle y pourrait être plus aisément délivrée. Au même temps les douleurs la saisirent si vives et si pressantes que, sans aucun ou fort peu de relâche, elles continuèrent jusques à l’entier accouchement, qui fut d’un Dauphin, le 27e du mois susdit, quatorze heures dans la lune nouvelle, dix heures et demie et demi quart, selon ma montre faite à Abbeville par M. Plantard. [...]

I)- natal chart

•  ASC CANCER, ruler MO (V, LIBRA)
• MC, PISCES, ruler JU (IV, VIRGO)
• JU is 'combust'
• MA (I)
• quadrature between MA and SA ; but we have too a sextil between MA and {JU, SU}.

Morinus gives ME for ALMUTEN. In this chart, SU is detrimental. So, the conjunction JU-SU appears to be not very good...

II)- primary directions

A)- coronation : 

Louis XIII ascended the throne in 1610 upon the assassination of his father, and his mother Marie de' Medici acted as his Regent. Although Louis XIII became of age at thirteen (1614), his mother did not give up her position as Regent until 1617, when he was 16. We see that a favorable event, here a coronation, is connected with an adverse event, the assassination of the father. The theme of Louis XIII, by this problematic conjunction JU-SU, presents a remarkable ambiguity.

 The signifying direction (the one whose orb is closest to the marking point) is: 
M D = 16.8° Placidus (AR -0.2).

It corresponds to a converse L(z) SA = 204.73° VIRGO. The direct L(z) MO = 218.95° SCORPIO (with luna motion and latitude of both promissor and significator).

C)- illness of 1627

1)- MO conj ME

We are interested here in the direction of MO conj ME. Indeed, MO is master of ASC and ME is ALMUTEN.

- result

The signifying direction (the one whose orb is closest to the marking point) is: 
M D = 25.05° Placidus (1/EQU 0.12).

It corresponds to a converse L(z) MO = 175.82° VIRGO. The direct L(z) ME = 202.48° SCORPIO.

Observe that the position of the points in relation to the axis MC-IC favors the AR directions: this is the case here where D (AR) = 28.6 (fictitious). It is clear that to speak in the present case of a fictitious direction for an AR direction is a mistake. Only the symbolic directions or the Goldmayer directions should be used.

2)- MO conj ASC

D = 28.85° (OA(MA)-OA(ASC)). The L(z) ASC(d) = 123.11 LEO (MA = 125° LEO).

 The diagram is technically instructive: we have, as it should be with a direct arc of the ASC, two strictly identical directions, in Placidus and Regio-Campa.

The direction is : D = 42° (converse Regio-Campa).
L(z) ME = 128.28° LEO.

Observe that a conjuction ME conj SA is highlighted in the direct sens, mirroring the ME-MA conjunction; elsewhere, there is a VE-ASC conjunction.
