American President of the US. 1881-85 after the death of James A. Garfield. Honest, efficient, dignified and elegant, Arthur was called "The Gentleman Boss." He formerly taught school a few years before becoming a lawyer in 1853. Arthur was a Republican delegate in 1860; State Officer; Custom House Collector; and Vice President.

Arthur left office in 1885 and returned to his New York City home. Two months before the end of his term, several New York Stalwarts approached him to request that he run for United States Senate, but he declined, preferring to return to his old law practice at Arthur, Knevals & Ransom. His health limited his activity with the firm, and Arthur served only of counsel. He took on few assignments with the firm and was often too ill to leave his house. He managed a few public appearances until the end of 1885.
After spending the summer of 1886 in New London, Connecticut, he returned home where he became seriously ill, and on November 16, ordered nearly all of his papers, both personal and official, burned.[214][q] The next morning, Arthur suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and never regained consciousness. He died the following day, on November 18, at the age of 57.

The traditional almuten (Omar, Ibn Ezra) is SA
we see below the list of dignities for SA :
---------------------------------------
[ term 1 tri 3 rul 0 exn 3 fac 1 ]
[ su 2 mo 0 asc 2 syg 4 pof 0 ]
---------------------------------------
Note 1 : the ‘almuten figuris’ is the lord of the chart, but its determination obeys somewhat different rules according to the schools. The tradition is based above all on the zodiacal dignities. (see p,e,  Alcabitius, Introduction, 59-61, 117 and Avenezra, Nativites, 101) – almuten = al-mu’tazz (arabic term)
[7] As for the governor which is the <planet> predominating (al-mubtazz) over the birth from which one indicates the conditions of the native after the haylāğ and the kadhudāh,n it is the planet having the most leadership in the ascendant, the position<s> of the two luminaries, the position of the Lot of Fortune and the position of the degree of the conjunction or opposition which precedes the birth. When a planet has mastery over two, three or four positions by the abundance of its shares in them, it is the governor and the predominant <planet> (al-mubtazz) and the indicator after the haylāğ and the kadhudāh. From it one indicates the conditions of the native. Some people use it instead of the kadhudāh in giving life.  [Al-Qabisi , Charles Burnett, Keji Yamamoto, Michio Yano, The Introduction to Astrology, IV, 7, p, 117, Warburg, 2004]
Note 2 : There are at least 4 systems for determining the almuten depending on whether the combinations of triplicities and terms are used: the Ptolemaic almuten (followed by Lilly) with Ptolemaic terms ; the same with Egyptian terms; the almuten of Dorotheus with Ptolemaic terms ; the same with Egyptian terms, knowing that one can embellish the whole thing with different weighting system (like Lilly or not using weights like Montanus) [cf. Temperament: Astrology's Forgotten Key, p. 79, Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum 2005]

The Lilly (Ptolemaïc) almuten is SA

In our experience, it seems that Ptolemy's almuten allows one to first appreciate the static side of the natal chart and that the Lilly-type elaboration allows one to deepen the more ‘temporary’ or ‘dynamic ‘ relationships (cf, Shlomo Sela, Ibn Ezra, on Nativities and Continuous Horoscopy, appendix 6, quot 2  ; Horary astrology p, 458, Brill, 2014)

HYLEG – ALCHOCODEN – domification REGIOMONTANUS,

In the upper chart we see that the nativity is diurnal (or nocturnal) and the moon is waxing (waning). This immediately makes it possible to orient the search for the hyleg towards SU or MO. We then seek the point which is both in Ptolemaic aspect and in dignity with the hyleg. This is the alchocoden. In the lower table, information is given on the alchocoden point (including dignity, power, retrograde, the house situation and especially the important fact of knowing if the alchocoden point is within 5° of the next cusp, in which case it must be removed (or added if he is retrograde) a certain number of degrees (life points).Finally, it may be necessary to add points depending on the place of JU and VE in relation to the upper meridian or the rising.

ZODIACAL – MUNDANE

In our research, we hypothesized that the mundane chart alone should be considered; also we must base on the aspects taken in the semiarcs the research of the degrees likely to be considered in the duration of the life.
In the case of ARTHUR Chester A. we have the table above which allows us to estimate the breakdown of aspects between the different planets and the alchocoden.
When considering a theme, the first thing is to observe whether it is diurnal or nocturnal. In the case of ARTHUR Chester A., it is DIURNAL.
In this case, the first point to check is SU. If  SU is well disposed, it can claim 1st stage to be HYLEG.

SU is F and therefore seems weak, with a dignity score of [-1],
Moreover, when we look for the dignities that appear in the zodiacal inscription of ASC, we find at least one
we find at least one aspect to match with the dignities
We'll see later what we get when we search for mundane dignities.
Now that we doubt to take SU as hyleg, we are left with MO we find aspect to match with the dignities

Now that we doubt to take SU as hyleg, we are left with the choice of ASC and that of POF. It is the way in which is laid out MO which will indicate the choice to us. If MO is waxing, we take ASC for hyleg ; if MO is waning, we take POF for hyleg,

It turns out that MO is waxing; so we will take ASC,
Now we must look for the alchocoden: it is the planet which has the maximum dignity with regard to the hyleg and which exchanges a Ptolemaic aspect with the hyleg.
If we see the ZODIACAL system, it turns out that we find none aspect to ASC. if we consider the ZODIACAL system, we observe a sextil aspect of SA.
At the same time, it appears that SA has  dignity of TRI over ASC.
First, SA is linked with ASC by an sextil aspect and a TRI dignity,
However, SA is D and has a power of [-6], SA has a Kadkhudah score of [1]
SA is located at 135,53 °at 4,96° (°) from the next (succ) cusp
Now, we have to take account of the radix zodiacal aspects,
------------------------------------------------------
SU 60 SA: 9,5   VE 90 SA: -8  JU 120 SA: 12
------------------------------------------------------
Without any change, we find with SA as Kadhkhudah : Y = 57 as a result of SA GREATER years
But as SA is TRI, following William Lilly in Christian astrology, p, 115 (London, 1647) on his table of Fortitudes and debilities, we remove 1/5 of his value, ie -11,4
------------------------------------------------------
So, zodiacal Y =59,21
however, SA is located within 5° of the point (MC). In this case, we are led to modify its value which, otherwise, would be 57 Y.

To do this, the procedure is not unequivocal but one of the most logical seems to me to be the one mentioned by Auger Ferrier in ‘Jugements astronomiques sur les nativités’, Rouen, 1583 (pp, 39-51 and notably pp, 43-48). Note that Auger Ferrier's comments appear directly related to those of Montulmo in his’ De Nativitatum liber praeclarisimus’ (Nuremberg, 1540), cap IV & VII. Book translated by Robert Hand (‘On the Judgment of Nativities’, part 1 & 2, Project Hindsight, vol X)
the years of life are identified for the [ang] and [cad] houses relative to the alchocoden.

ang = 57
succ = 43
we take the difference = 14
take the 1/5 of this difference = 2,8
then take the difference between 5 and the actual position of the point = 0,05 (4,95)
take the rule of three = 0,05
Then we add the ang Y 57 and 0,05 = 56,95
we must add [ domSA (295,05) - cusp (270) ] x [ cusp ang (57) - cusp succ 43) ]/5/5
So, we add to Y : Δ = 0,14
Now, we have to take account of the radix mundane aspects,
SU 60 SA: 9,5     JU 120 SA: 12   minus alcho dy (4,95)


SA appears to be D and his power is -6
Given that SA is D, we need to remove 1/5 from Y =67,24 so : -11,4 Y
Y=   55,84

PRIMARY DIRECTION

□MO conj SA (mundane direct)

	Lat	Dec	AR	MD	SA	HA
SA	0,73 N	16,89 N	138,23	32,38 D	107,55 D	75,17 E
□MO	0 S	-3,3 S	187,64	-81,79 D	86,72 D	168,51 E

DIRECTION : □MO conj SA

---------------------------------
We must take into account an important element: the ascensional difference (DA); it can be observed on the  graph in a dotted line (measured between the horizon and the axis of the pole). This is the difference between Right Ascension (AR) and Oblique Ascension (OA). This is the difference between Right Ascension (AR) and Oblique Ascension (OA). DA is always calculated in absolute value |DA| and it is added or subtracted from 90° (SA = 90° corresponds to a point on the equator cut by the horizon; depending on whether a star approaches or moves away from the line of horizon, SA is > 90° or < 90°, i,e, (+) depending on whether it is diurnal and northern ; or nocturnal and southern ; (-) depending on whether it is diurnal and southern ; or nocturnal and northern.

sin(DA) = -tan(φ)tan(δ)
φ = latitude 44,8 N
δ SA = 16,89 +
DA-SA = 17,55°
δ □MO =-3,3 -
DA-□MO =3,28°

We will first use the Placidus system of mundane directions. The simplest system is that of Choisnard-Fomalhaut. First you need to retrieve the data from the SA (semi-arc) and the DM (meridian distance) of the diurnal point because the altitude of SA is 51,09°. important note: the SA and DM of the two points are always counted diurnal if the first point (here SA) is above the horizon even if the second is below. They are counted nightly if the first point (SA) is below the horizon regardless of the position of the second point.
For DMs, they are counted in AR from the diurnal meridian if the fixed point SA is diurnal, and from the nocturnal meridian if it is nocturnal.

diurnal meridian MC = 105,85°
AR SA = 138,23°
AR □MO = 187,64°

SA D (d+) SA=107,55°
DM D  SA=32,38°

For the  significator  □MO altitude (h) =3,47°. so :

=86,72°
DM D □MO=-81,79°

Then we compute Saf/DMf (so : SA f [107,55°] / DM f [32,38°])

Sa f / DM f =3,32

and the angle x = SAm x DM f/SA f, so : SA m [86,72°] x DM f [32,38°]/SA f [107,55°]

 x = 26,11°

We find the direction by DMm - x, so : DM m [-81,79°] ± x [26,11]
We must now have regard to the double ± sign of the last expression; in the case where f (SA) and m (□MO) are on either side of the meridian, the direction arc is obtained by taking the sum (instead of the difference) of the two quantities DMm and x. This is not the case here, so sign = (+)
the computation of the arc requires, depending on the case, a reduction of 360° (so arc modulo 360°)
---------------------------------
arc D =55,68°
---------------------------------
in the technical sense, It is a direct direction but in the astrological sense, it is a true converse direction since it is an aspect considered as a promissor which goes towards the significator. ; so the m point is an aspect (here □MO) and the f point is a planet or an axis, (here SA)

We can now compute the converse direction : point f is directed towards point m, i.e. the star is directed towards the aspect. This is where the problem of the orientation of the primum mobile arises because it is not concevable to rotate the local sphere in both directions… It does not seem convenient to postulate that the arc of direction is counted in the order of the signs of the zodiac (when it is direct, i.e. when one directs a promissor towards a significator): indeed, the ecliptic has nothing to do with a direction since this one depends only on the diurnal movement ( primum mobile). It is therefore otherwise that we must pass judgment on this.

That time, we compute Sa m / DM m (so : SA m [86,72°] / DM f [-81,79°])

Sa m / DM m =-1,06

and the angle x = SA f x DM m/SA m, so : SA f [107,55°] x DM m [-81,79°] / SA m [86,72°]

x = -101,44°

We find the direction by DM f - x, so : DM f [32,38°] ± x [-101,44°]
We must now have regard to the double ± sign of the last expression; in the case where m (□MO) and f (SA) are on either side of the meridian, the direction arc is obtained by taking the sum (instead of the difference) of the two quantities DM f and x. This is not the case here, so sign = (-)
---------------------------------
arc C =69,06°
---------------------------------
Now we can study the same direction with the Regiomontanus system. To obtain the arc of direction between two signifying points (planets in body, aspect versus planet, planet versus axis) one must find AO (oblique ascent) of f and of m, calculated under the pole of f.
The formulas to use can be found either in the Dictionnaire astrologique of Henri Joseph Gouchon (Dervy Livres, 1937) pp. 266-267, or in his Horoscope annuel simplifié (Dervy, 1973) p.181. Other formulas can be found in Les moyens de pronostic en astrologie, Max Duval (editions traditionnelles, 1986) and Domification et transits (Editions traditionnelles, 1985). We can also cite by André Boudineau : Les bases scientifiques de l’astrologie (Chacornac, 1937) These are references in French but there are many other references in English or German of a less obvious but equally valid use.

First, compute the ascensional difference under f (SA) : cot DAP f = (cot de f x cot lat) / in DM f ± cot DM f, i,e, :  cot (DAP f) = (Cot dec f[16,89°] x Cot Lat [44,8°]) /sin DM f [32,38°] ± cot DM f  [32,38°]

DAPf = 7,33°

We find the pole of f (SA) by formula : tan(pole f) = sin (DAP f) x cot (dec f) i,e, tan(pole f) = tan f [7,33°] x cot f [16,89°]

pole SA regio  =22,81°

(1) We need now the DAP of m (□MO) under the pole of f, sin (DAP m) = tan (pole f) x tan (DEC m), i,e, : (SA) : sin (DAPm/f) = tan [22,8°] x tan [-3,3°]

DAP m/f = -1,39°

then we find for the points located in the eastern part of the chart : AO f = AR f± DAP f ; sign (+) if Dec f boreal or sign (–) if Dec f Austral ; so : AO f SA = 145,56° and AO m = AR m ± DAP m ; idem for sign ; so  AO m□MO = 189,03°

---------------------------------
arc D Regio = -58,13°
---------------------------------
We are now going to compute the converse Regiomontanus direction corresponding to the arc  f SA / p □MO

First, compute the ascensional difference under m (□MO) : cot DAPm = (cot dec m x cot lat)/sin DM m ± cot DM m, i,e, :  Cot(DAP m) = (Cot decm[-3,3°] x Cot Lat [44,8°]) / Sin DM f [81,79°] ± Cot DM m [81,79°]

DAP m = 176,73°

We find the pole of m (□MO) by formula : Tan(pole m) = Sin (DAP m) x Cot (dec m) i,e, Tan(pole m) = Sin m [176,73°] x Cot m [-3,3°]

pole □MO regio  =-44,7°

We need now the DAP of f (SA) under the pole of m, Sin (DAP f) = Tan (pole m) x Tan (DEC f), i,e, : (□MO) : Sin (DAP f/m) = Tan[44,69°] x Tan [16,89°]

DAP f/m = 17,48°

then we find for the points located in the eastern part of the chart : AO m = AR m ± DAP m ; sign (+) if Dec m boreal or sign (–) if Dec m Austral ; so : AO m □MO = 191° and AO f = AR f ± DAP f ; idem for sign ; so  AO f SA = 155,71°

---------------------------------
arc C Regio = -70,17°
---------------------------------
H.J. Gouchon [l’Horoscope Annuel simplifié, Dervy, 1973, p, 181-182 and Dictionnaire astrologique, p, 277, 1937-1942, Gouchon ed., 1975, Dervy, but be careful because in DAP's equation, the double sign ± was mistakenly replaced by the sign (-) ] advises to avoid errors, to always place the star A1 (for us f, i.e. SU) in the eastern houses; in fact it is enough to change the registration number of the house based on the transformation (IV-V-VI) -> (X-XI-XII) and (VII-VIII-IX) -> (I-II-III ) to adapt the double sign ± in the calculation of DAP f or DAP m; moreover, this sign must be reversed if |DM| > 90°.

For the Regiomontanus directions, there is another mode of computing, mentioned by Gouchon (Dictionnaire astrologique, op. cit., p. 276) and especially Martin Gansten (Primary directions, pp. 155-157, the Wessex Astrologer, 2009)
This method consists at computing first 3 auxiliary angles before  the pole. It then joins the other method. Contrary to what Gouchon says, I find it easier than the previous one because we avoid the double sign ± in the determination of DAP f.

So, initially, we have A => Tan f = tan dec f [16,89°] / cos DM f [32,38°]

A = 19,78°

Then : B = Lat [44,8°] + A [-19,78°]

B = 25,02°

And, Tang C = Cot DM f [32,38°] x Cos B [25,02°] / Cos A [-19,78°]

C = 56,63°

Then, we have Sin pole f = Cos C [56,63°] x  Sin LG [44,8°]
---------------------------------
So, pole SA regio = 22,8°
---------------------------------
Now go back to (1)

For m □MO; we have : A => Tan m = tan dec m [-3,3°] / cos DM m [81,79°]

A = -21,99°

Then : B = Lat [44,8°] + A [21,99°]

B = 66,79°

And, Tang C = Cot DM m [81,79°] x Cos B [66,79°] / Cos A [21,99°]

C = -3,51°

Then, we have Sin pole m = Cos C [-3,51°] x  Sin LG [44,8°]
---------------------------------
So, pole □MO regio = 44,69°
---------------------------------
Now go back to (1)

ARMILLARY SPHERAE

This armillary sphere presents us with a true stereographic projection of the :
---------------------------------
DIRECTION : □MO conj SA
---------------------------------
We see the superior meridian upper the pole 44,8° N LAT , the inferior meridian, and the other great circles : equator, ecliptic λ, latitude circle β, azimuth circle A and horary circle H
- the zenith with colatitude 45,2° and the prime vertical
 - the horizon with ecliptic inclination of 68° and the ecliptic pole at 22°
 - the line Nord-Sud, as a circle, is the equinoctial colure ; the meridian circle can be considered as the solsticial colure (i,e, the equinoctial colure is a meridian passing through the equinoctial points ; and the solsticial colure is a meridian passing through the solsticial points). The colures therefore divide the apparent annual path of the Sun into four parts which determine the seasons,
 - Ascensional difference (DA) for f SA is = sin DA = -tan(lat [44,8]) x tan(dec f [16,89])
---------------------------------
so DA f SA = 17,55°
---------------------------------
 - Ascensional difference (DA) for m □MO is = sin DA = -tan(lat [44,8]) x tan(dec f [-3,3])
---------------------------------
so DA m □MO = 3,28°
---------------------------------
 - You see  also an almucantar circle for the mundane primary directions : actually the altitude of f SA = 3,42° ; it is therefore almost equal to the altitude of the su and therefore m and f are in mundane conjunction because Δ alt <2° (-3,47°), This altitude corresponds to that of point f SA (alt f = 51,09), assumed to have remained fixed during the displacement of the diurnal movement.
note that if the m point is a counter parallel, it is retrograde (and it is not a zodiacal aspect because one uses declination to compute mundane parallel),

 - We can see too two or three parallels of declination ; for point m □MO with dashed line (between equator and equinoctial colure) to design the m DA (see above) ; for point f SA (idem) and for a star (Algol i,e, β Persei or another if present in the sky path of the natal chart ),
- Then we find the index for rising, transit and setting the two points f and m,
 - Houses are shown in shaded lines. The grid setting is based on the REGIOMONTANUS system. The cusps are immobile since the movement is based on that of the primum mobile.
