WW Worsdale 203

Born in the city of Lincoln, March 11th, 1802, 20h 12 PM and died on the 2nd of June 1823, aged twenty-one years, two months and twenty-one days. [Celestial philosophy, 200].

Ruler of ASC in VE. ME is infortunate (PIS) and SU, ME and VE are cadent. The ALMUTEN, according to Ibn-Ezra and Omar, is VE. In mundane chart, we find #MO-ME and //MO-SA.

B. □MO conj SA

Here, we have a mundane □MO which has the particularity oh having 27.87° of equator ! This is, naturally, because of the Campanus system... It is very interesting because we can test in this case two systems of latitude. The so-called 'deutsch system' (H.J. Gouchon talks about in his 'L'Horoscope annuel simplifié' (Dervy-Livres, 1973) and the system recommended by Max Duval (the converse mundane directions).

1. compute mundane □MO
- MO campanus domitude = 35.51° without latitude (the latitude of MO = + 5.169°).
- if we take the system of Max Duval, we have MO = 23.36° (with lat + 5.169).
L(z) □MO = 121.65° LEO.
- if we take the other system, we must therefore compute separately the latitude according to :

l(z) = DEGRES(ATAN(COS(RADIANS(delta))*TAN(RADIANS(lat_m))))

where delta is the distance between MO and the ray. In zodiaco, this distance is 90°. In mundo, here, the distance is L(MO) - L(□MO) = 27.87°. and lat_m : l(z) = 4.53°.
So L(z) □MO = 122.29° LEO.

There is a 3rd system, commented and criticized by Morin de Villefranche, passim Bianchini (Astrologia Gallica, book 16, p.21 and sq., trans. by James Holden, 2008). Max Duval talks a lot about this system in 'Les Moyens de pronostic en astrologie' (Ed. Traditionnelles, 1985).

It is a converse direction : you must imagine that SA is 'carried' to □MO. But it is only an impression.

The next is the Geniture of a Gentleman, who was Born near Boston,. October 7th# 1789, 13h.0 m. PM; 'find died on the 15th of August, 1814, aged.twenty-four years, ten Months, and seven days.

This Native had acquired considerable knowledge in this department of Astronomy, which the Astral significators of Science, &c. exhibit in the following Figure of his Birth, His noble and excellent qualifications, and pious demeanour were such, that all those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, soon became convinced of his superior Talents in Literature, which, combined with a dignified Mind, free from Pride, and ostentation, truly adorn the character of the Scholar, and the Gentleman. He was not much attached to the sports of the Field, yet he sometimes accompanied ray Father in Shooting, and Coursing, in the liordships of Helpringham, Hale, Heckington, Swaton, Scredington, Spanby, and Donington, &c. &c. [John Worsdale, Celestial Philosophy, 19]

I. Natal chart

We saw a mundane # between SU and MO and a mundane square between MO and SA. SU and MO are debilitated, as SU is LIB and VE is SCO. The ruler of ASC is SU and the ruler of MC is VE. According to Lilly, the ALMUTEN is JU (house I) ; according to Ibn-Ezra and Omar, it is Ve or SA... Worsdale thinks that the HYLEG is MO.

- □MA domitude Campanus = 74.52

Note that Worsdale evokes the directions of MO to SA in zodiaco (while he uses the expression in mundo which is not appropriate in the context).

Henri d'ARTOIS (Worsdale 188)

Henri d'ARTOIS (Worsdale 188)

Henri, Count of Chambord ; 29 September 1820 – 24 August 1883) was disputably King of France from 2 to 9 August 1830 as Henry V, although he was never officially proclaimed as such. Afterwards, he was the Legitimist pretender to the throne of France from 1844 to 1883.
Henri was the posthumous son of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, younger son of Charles X of France, by his wife, Princess Carolina of Naples and Sicily, daughter of King Francis I of the Two Sicilies. As the grandson of the King Charles X of France, Henri was a Petit-Fils de France. He also was the last legitimate descendant in the male line of Louis XV of France (His grandfather Charles X was a grandson of Louis XV). [wikipedia]

He death in 1883 and has been ill probably since 1879. Stomach cancer has been reported but is more likely to have had chronic renal failure.

The geniture chart is mentioned in the Celestial philosophy (p. 188)  of  John Worsdale.

I. Natal chart

We immediately notice the quadrature aspect that emerges from the three sets formed by (ME, SU), SA and MO. SU and SA are in fall; MO, MA and JU are rather strong, with the reserve near their earth disposition (MA cadent, MO succeedent). The disposition of the houses makes the mundane and zodiacal square practically identical.

The study of the primary directions is thus oriented towards the fragility of the disposition of the planets due to this quadrature radix.

According to Lilly, ALMUTEN is MA. But one may wonder whether it would not be more judicious to choose JU, which is angular (which is what the methods of Ibn-Ezra and Omar reveal).

I remind you that in case of chronic illness, it is from an astrological point of view - and medical - perfectly logical to consider the directions around the death, but - as far as possible - the beginning of the disease; this is not always possible. This is what ancient astrologers call a climateric era.

Observe that the year is 1882, according to what I wrote above.

Analysis shows that the maximum of rays occurs for 1880, which probably corresponds to the beginning of the disease :

Thanks to the ease of the procedures that I have developed, a simple change of year is enough to modify all the directions.

Biographical data

H. Jourdan-Morhange says that after the composition of his Sonata for violin and piano
 in 1927, Ravel complained a great weariness and anemia brain and that he consulted Dr. Vallery-Radot, who recommended a year rest. From January to April 1928 he nevertheless undertook a tour in the United States and he composed his Bolero from July to October 1928. [...]In June 1933 while the holiday in St-Jean-de-Luz two bizarre incidents occurred products : wanting to show his friend Marie Gaudin how to make ricochets, he him throws the stone in full figure and the next day we have to save him from the water by doing board because suddenly he could not swim anymore. On August 2, 1933 he apologized with Gaudin in a letter very scribbled out: "Of more in more muddy ; taking of ten-if we, enough low. taking of blood : urea enough abundant for worry about doctor : it is arranged. But anemia keep on going. Medication: a heap from drugs to it to lose,rest absolute... In one month all the troubles disappeared". In effect, Ravel is silent improved during his stay with friends in Le Touquet and in November 1933 he could lead Bolero and Concerto in ground at Paris. It was his last concert because he declined then a tour in Russia [...] Thus Henson (4) suggested a primary progressive aphasia (described for the first time in 1982 by Mesulam) and myself I proposed a degeneration cortico basal (described by Reveiz and al. in 1968). In effect, lack of control movements, faulty oculomotricity and dysphasia that Rosenthal has noticed, the episode of the ricochets failures of St-Jean-de-Luz that looks like a"alien limb " and walking "like an automaton" and the expression "empty" which suggest an  extra pyramidal syndrom, plead in favor a cortico-basal degeneration.

MA is dignified: master of the ASC. Nevertheless in world square (and also zodiacal) between the group (SU, MO) - MO is in tight conjunction with SU - ME and MO in fall - SU and ME debilitated.
According to Lilly, ALMUTEN is SA ; according to Ibn-Ezra or Omar, it is MA. Finally, the worst debilitated planet seems to be ME.

II. Primary direction

A. □MO conj SA

This ray is both zodiacal and mundane because the house is nearly 30° of equator.
