The Primary Directions to Fixed Stars

Submitted by ciuboda on 7 November, 2008 - 18:11.

"When we open the section on primary directions in William Lilly's Christian Astrology we can see directions to fixed stars. If primary directions designated as 'exotics' in modern astrological practice, then primary directions to fixed stars could be considered to be the 'exotics' of 'exotics'. Nevertheless, primary directions to fixed stars are not unusual in astrological tradition.
The first question in my study of primary directions to fixed stars was what kind of directions are in use in this case?, and especially Regiomontanian tradition of primaries, which is the realm of directions in zodiaco. To solve the problem, I turned to texts of famous Italian astrologer of XVI-XVII centuries Andrea Argolus, whose book Lilly held to be the best for this purpose. After studying the texts and recalculations of examples, I adhere to the opinion, that it is directions in mundo."
