Thank you very much, Gary. Don Bradley's biography is very incomplete, and every little drop helps to fill in the picture, he being so private and all.

I spoke briefly to an astrologer who seemed to have known Bradley (if only in passing) and got some personal info. But I would like to get them ...

Mr. E. has an interesting observation that would read this set-up as being similar to a transit of Mars to natal Saturn. Read that interpretation; can you see that sort of situation setting up yet?

Scarlet, have you tried yourself as a stand-up performer?
Just an idea that popped into my head, based on the combo of your Luminaries and angular planets.
No, stage life isnt really my thing.

ScarletDepths, can you (or do you) see yourself as LARPing through life? (I get this impression ...

Tomorrow, Mars begins about five days of conjoining Capsolar Pluto. Please watch and see if we notice this worldwide (including where you are).

Based on last month's monitoring, I suspect this will especially show where Pluto is exactly angular in the Capsolar (so that Mars is transiting the ...

Under a 15 Pisces MC my intuitive bets for today, only 2.

SteveS, please also take note of the correction Mr. E has brought to my attention. The MC range I gave you is correct, the ST time was off (since corrected). So try again twelve hours after your hunch.

Another thing to take note of is ...

True. I meant ST 12:30 - 13:30 - 14:30 as the time-frame. Calculations are correct, my statement was messed up!

Tell me what I need to do based on this article to test it with Sidereal Astrology with picking sport's teams and their Vegas betting lines.

BTW, Bradley has a young man had a cottage industry of generating written horoscope interpretations. He had one page on each chart factor (sign placement, aspect, etc.) that he wanted to consider - mimeographed these in large quantities - he'd calculate the chart, pull the sheets, staple them ...

Also double-check your aspect file itself and be sure that the natal orbs are defined for each aspect. It must be done individually.

Donald Bradley would occasionally venture into how astrological archetypes worked their way into language, so in this general category I noticed an odd coincidence. Trump's Mars and Ascendant are near Regulus, which are all in the Vedic asterism Magha. Trump's signature slogan "Make America Great ...

I just went through The Primer and Fagan doesn't say anything about using the SVP of Date that I can find. He's not specific about using the SVP of progressed date but I think if he was using the SVP of date instead, he'd have said as much.

You are correct. Checking the sample chart against SF ...

Well, I'll have to dig up my copies and review them.

Until then, consider this particular matter a big "Neeever mind."

You understand correctly. Please forgive if I get a bit terse when sending from the phone; editing is not easy.

For the planets, no. But, to use your example, the
SVP for December 2017 would be used on the Tropical Ascendant. This was how it done in the Primer and in Stahl's Beginners Manuals, or ...

My biggest disappointment about SF is how it handles progressions.

What it does: It applies the ayanamsa of the progressed date to the (Tropical) cusps and angles.

What Fagan taught: Apply the SVP of date to the cusps and angles.

This was in all the early works, as well as his worked-out examples ...

Mike, a niche Sidereal astrology program has been sorely needed. Riyal was an early attempt, and while creditable it doesn't seem to be keeping current, and the GUI is outdated. Anytime you need tips or a resource, please don't hesitate to ask.

I could point to other Sidereal works, but I believe ...

I think astrology shows that the Cartesian division between mind and matter is false. It may be more true that consciousness and matter exist along an uninterrupted continuum.

Would it be too much of a reach, a leap of intuition, to wonder whether Lesath, the stinger of the Scorpion, is somehow involved here?

Iran has been living up to the deal scrupulously, but he's claiming they're not living up to the "spirit" of the deal and demanding the treaty somehow address every grievance the US has ever had with Iran.

At one point, Fagan speculated that the solar and lunar rulership cycles (emanating two directions outward from Cancer-Leo) gave separate rulership schemes for Sun and Moon in the signs.

I can trace this sort of scheme back to issues of American Astrology in the 1930's as astrologers struggled ...

Fagan compared and contrasted Mars and Pluto with Venus, from American Astrology “Solunars” March, 1958. This is not a direct comparison of Mars and Pluto, but it is interesting for the ways he creates sets of antonyms for for Venus-Mars and Venus-Pluto in semantic space.

Besides the Solunars columns, he also did some stand alone articles I hope will be included and/or otherwise preserved.

We're nowhere near that point yet, but my WAG is three or four small volumes, each about the size of "The Sidereal Handbook." That's in Ken Bowser's editorial hands.

You were thinking mainstream Republicans are becoming extinct?

Actually, I do; both parties, in fact and good riddance to them. But more on point I was thinking of that other meeting Trump had with Pelosi and Schumer that had some mysterious deal that may (or may not) involve the "border wall."
