Edward III

Edward III

(13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from January 1327 until his death. Edward did not have much to do with any of this; after around 1375 he played a limited role in the government of the realm. Around 29 September 1376 he fell ill with a large abscess. After a brief period of recovery in February 1377, the king died of a stroke at Sheen on 21 June. He was succeeded by his ten-year-old grandson, King Richard II, son of the Black Prince, since the Black Prince himself had died on 8 June 1376.

2. Brit. Lib., MS Royal 12 F.xvii, fol. 153v; Nativity of Edward III of England, 13 November 1312, 17h 43m 248; Born in Windsor; d. 21 June 1377.
Figura nativitatis Edwardi de Wyndesouer, filius regis Anglie, anno Christi 1312 imperfecto, in festo Sancti Bricij, 13 die Novembris, in principio aurore, hora 17, minuta 43, secunda 24.

[from : Courting disaster : Edward III's time of birth is given as 'in principio aurore' or 17 hours, 43 minutes, and 24 seeonds after the previous midday. As all other measurements in the horoseope
are expressed with an aeeuracy no greater than degrees, this time looks like an approximation based on the known time of dawn given in tables. p. 122

The horoscope of Edward III taken by Bruen from 5t George' s chapel, Windsor, is not quite identical with that in M5 Royal 12 F.xvii, but it shares the same ascendant and, evidently, the same
tradition as to the time of the monarch' s birth.33 As it stands, the horoscope of this highly-successful and admired king is so heavy with auspices as to appear contrived. The sun in the house of the
ascendant is a mere thirty minutes past opposition with Jupiter, and 2° after opposition with the Lot of Fortune. In the same house, Mercury is in opposition to the Moon, who is 5° from her exaltation
and, most significantly, Mars in his day domicile, 5corpio, is 2° after conjunction with Venus. (In the MS Royal horoscope, the conjunction is exact.) Mars, moreover, is the day lord and Venus
the night ruler of the watery triplicity which includes 5corpio, and the ascendant lies in the finis governed by Mars. Ominously, 5atum is in his day domicile, Capricom, but his virtue is impeded
by his position in the weak second house ('cadens') and in the night half of the horoscope. In the seventh house, also known as the descendant or occasus, Jupiter is 0°30' from conjunction with the
Lot of Fortune. p. 123]

Conjunction VE-MA is unfortunate. Observe comparison bteween the scores of the opposition JU-VE and the conj VE-MA !

hyleg - alchocoden

We have 3 possibilities for hyleg. The 1st is : SU/JU

In this case, we have a ray but no dignity. Y = 67.25.

The 2nd is SU/SA

In this case, we have dignity but no ray... Y = 67.

The 3nd : MA/VE

We use the nocturnal dominance as hyleg (Ptolemy, Tetrabiblos, III.10)

Here, we have both ray and dignity. Y = 70.85.
