'I will give here one instance of a violent death. Sarah Harriet Thomas, executred at Bristol on the 20th April 1849 for the murder of Miss Jeffries.' [Astrology as it is..., p. 126]

'In this Nativity the Moon is Hyleg, posited in the violent sign Aries, afflicted by the Conjunction of Mars, the Sesqui-quadrate of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn, from the fixed sign Leo, the Square of Jupiter, the latter being in Opposition to Venus. The Sun is also afflicted by the Conjunction of Saturn, tho Opposition of Herschel, the Sesqui-quadrate of Mars. Here both the malefics afflict both the luminaries, the Giver of Life being in a violent sign; this is a testimony of a remarkable or violent death, the nature of which is foreshadowed, as Saturn is here occidental and afflicts the Moon ; posited in the 10th House, it would denote death by hanging, by command of a magistrate.' [Astrology as it is..., p. 127]

I. Natal chart

Ruler of ASC is MO, being in conjunction with MA in ARI. We observe an opposition between VE (I) and JU. SA and ME are cadent (III) and detrimental. The ALMUTEN is MA (according to Lilly, Ibn-Ezra and Omar). JU (fall) and SA (exile) are debilitated.

II. Primary directions

A. #SA conj MO

It is a mundane direction. As said in the former section, this direction imposes a double computation of the mundane promissor because the numerical numbers of the domitudes are different for the system Campanus and Placidus. We do not end up with the same longitudes and we must therefore carry out the study separately for both domifications. By mundane promissor, i mean anything other ray than conjunction and opposition. In our case, it will be # (counter-parallel) or □ (square), or any ray...

We have the following parameters for SA and zodiacal #SA from parameter in mundo :

L(z) radix SA = 20°45'51" LEO (with a latitude +1°05'48"). Take the Placidus domitude of SA = 80.095°. The placidus domitude of #SA = 279.9° (without latitude). Now, the longitude L(z) Placidus #SA = 334°53'36° PIS with a latitude of -1°03'48". Observe that it is the latitude obtained by the "German" formula found in the works of H.J. Gouchon and Max Duval (see previous sections). We have - as already written - another method which Duval calls the mundane converse direction in which the latitude is obtained by computing directly the ray's domitude.

B1 Regio-Campa

C2 Regio-Campa

Observe that both Campa or Placidus arcs are obtained, whatever method is used.

C2 result

Of course, when the longitude of the ray (here #SA) is obtained by the Campanus system, it will be necessary to compute the directions only with the system Campanus; same thing when the zodiacal longitude is obtained with the system Placidus.

Observe that the results can be very different from one system to another. In the case of this □ VE-MO, interesting to consider since MO is ruler of the ASC and VE is in house I, the direction is □ MO conj VE with proper movement of MO own and without latitude.

I. Natal chart

The author assigns MO for HYLEG ; i suppose because the birth is nocturnal... It is insufficient. ASC LIB has VE for ruler ; but VE is cadent and debilitated. SU can't be hyleg.  ME is debilitated, being in SAG. According to Ibn-Ezra, the ALMUTEN is SA ; according to OMAR, it is VE.  According to Lilly, SA. JU is exalt (CAN). So, by essential dignity, it will be logical to assign JU for ALMUTEN. But, by accidental dignity, JU is opposite to VE and cadent. So, the problem seems more to find the worst point than the best one ! Moreover, we see that SU is afflicted by two rays : □ MO and conj MA.

It seems that the worst planet is SU. But ME is very close in terms of debility.

conclusion

This natal chart again illustrates the importance of considering the SU only as a kind of 'capacitor', the nature of which varies according to the aspects received. In this case, the reception of 2 aspects (square of MO and conjunction of MA) totally debilitates it and makes it of the worst nature. We have other examples (see Michel Foucault). Moreover, we have to reconsider the # rays in term of zodiacal situation and no longer mundane, because the switch < domitude - L(z) > is dependent of the type of houses. If we want to make a comparative study between the 3 house systems for each ray domitude, consider that it is a very hard work.

Farrow Amelia (Worsdale 222)

Born in Lincoln, on the 2nd of March 1799 at 6:45 AM ; departed his life on thz 4th of October 1821 ; aged twenty-five years, seven months and two days.

The Directions that destroyed the Life of this Native, were, the Sun Hyleg, to the Parallels of Mars in Mundo, by Direct, and Converse Motion, and also to the Zodiacal Parallel of Mercury, and Bodies of the Moon, and Mars, with the Parallel of Mars' Declination, the Mundane Square of Saturn, and Quartile of the Moon in the World, by Direct Direction; and though the rays of Jupiter interposed in the Mortal train, he was unable to abate the influence thereof, being afflicted by the furious Directions of the Malefics at the time of Death, by which his benevolent qualities were destroyed, both in strength, and operation, so that he could not render any assistance to preserve Life, though he properly specified the quality of Death, of which I need not make any comments, having (in preceding Examples,) stated the nature of the Mortal diseases, produced by that Star, when his power was overcome by obnoxious rays. [John Worsdale, Celestial Philosophy, 228]

I. Natal chart

 ASC PIS, ruler JU, but in conjunction with MA in TAU. SU in fall (PIS). So it can't be hyleg and same for MO, in cadent and in exile (CAP). Moreover, MO is debilitated by opposition to SA in exile (CAN). MA is debilitated (TAU) ; Sa and MA exchange a mundane //.
MC SAG, ruler JU.

The ALMUTEN is VE, according to Ibn-Ezra, Omar and Lilly. VE is the only 'good fortunate' planet (being in exalt, PIS).

I am returning for the moment to the study of the zodiacal parallels because the study of the mundane parallels requires three different sub-studies (Campanus, Regiomontanus and Placidus) if one wants to compute a comparative work, which is a huge task. Unless you choose a particular type of houses. For instance, Max Duval has chosen evidently the Campanus houses.

According to John Worsdale, this young man was born in Hull (Est Yorkshire) 30th of September 1797, at 8 AM, and was drowned in returning from a voyage, on the fith of January 1814, aged sixteen years, three months and six days.

I. Natal chart

Attention is attracted by the presence of 4 cadent planets. SU is in loose opposition with JU. ME and VE are in house I and VE is partly ruler of the ASC (it must also be counted with MA). VE is debilitated, in fall (SCO); SU is fall. SA is in narrow square with JU, looser with SU. The ruler of MC is SU and MO is opposite MC and square with ME. (the aspects are counted on the zodiac).

According to Lilly, the ALMUTEN is SA ; according to Ibn-Ezra and Omar (viz Morinus), it is JU.

 So, we have to focuse our attention on VE, JU and SU. Observe that we have mundane // VE-JU.

Conclusion

Thus, we observe two major directions coinciding with the event: JU square SA and JU opp ASC. The nature of these arcs is in accordance with the planetary dignities according to Ibn-Ezra or Omar.
