Gennaro, Prince of Naples and Sicily

Gennaro, Prince of Naples and Sicily

(Gennaro Carlo Francesco; 12 April 1780 – 1 January 1789) was a Prince of Naples and Sicily. He died of smallpox aged 8. 

  I. Natal chart

The luminaries can't be hyleg (SU II, but it seems that Al-Qabisi don't forbid II, provided SU is in a masculine sign. The chart is nocturnal but MO can't be hyleg because it is cadent. Ptolemy in this case invites to look for the hyleg between the ASC and the part of fortune, as long as one or the other is aspected by one of its dignities. This is not the case for ASC (see also Dorotheus,Carmen astrologicum, III.2 as quoted by Deborah Houlding). Now you have to analyse the two remaining possibilities: Part of fortune (POF) and SYGYZY.
The POF is situated at 233.77° SCO as the birth is nocturnal. But, it is cadent... Ptolemy, once more time, don't forbid use of POF in IX, but Al-Qabisi (quoted by D. Houlding in Introduction IV, 4) disagrees while Dorotheus says nothing.
So, if we take POF as hyleg, we have the following list of dignities :

We see that MA aspect POF (opp 176.96°) and that it is both SCO ruler and triplicity ruler.MA fulfills the criteria to be the alchocoden. But we observe that MA is not dignified, as being in cadent (III)and is detrimental as being in TAU.

Junctinus, Speculum astrologiae, 354, Lugduni, 1581

We must take the 'minores' years of MA, so : 15 Y. Now, we take care of the aspects :

These are, first of all, the classical aspects of the old authors; we note that MO sex MA adds the minor years of MA (considering the impeded nature of both MA and MO): + 25 Y. Then, we have the NN : in conjunction with MA, it adds + 3.75 Y (the Alcochoden is within 12º of the North Node, add ¼ of the years it signifies, see Abu'Ali and Masha'allah).

Now, we take other rays in relation with ASC, POF and SYGYZY :

 POF doesn't take away at its own degrees, but MA, yes. So POF opp MA = -15 Y and ASC square MA, takes away minor years -15 Y. ALGOL is indicated for memory (Lilly gives an orb much larger than modern astrologers: 5 °). Naturally, one can ask the question of the validity of these innovations concerning the axes and the taking into account of the POF.

Finally, we also take into account the natal aspects of the luminaires at MA and SA. In this case, we have (without latitude): #MO conj SA : that takes away - 8.33 Y.

Ty = 12.42 Y (death 8 Y).

II. Primary directions

We will study the directions of the fortune share that is the hyleg.

D --> Z C Placidus □ MO conj POF 0.31.

B. opp VE conj POF

I have already mentioned the role of VE in themes where the life span is short. Here we have VE, master of ASC (by the term), VE being impeded (peregrine).

Conclusion

This theme is an illustration of the difficulties that often arise when looking for a hyleg ; POF is a hyleg better than the AUC while SU and MO are disqualified by their celestial condition. On the other hand, we notice that the directions, as I mentioned on other occasions, are peculiar in particularly short lives: it seems that aspects of EV are to be favored. Finally, we must pay close attention to the peregrine planets, the value of which is totally modified (here for example, SA and VE).
