In Part 1, which will be delivered on Sunday, October 26, at 5 pm GMT, I will talk about the roles of the Moon in observational astrologies, lunar “zodiacs,” Babylonian functions modeling the Moon’s motion, and non-horoscopic uses of the Moon in Hellenistic general and catarchic astrology.

HOROI Project @horoiproject.bsky.social · 8d

Arguably, the Moon is the most important planet in most types of astrology. In the next HOROI Talk, “The Tales of the Moon,” I will cover the uses and historical development of lunar concepts and conditions. Due to the abundance of relevant material, this talk is split into two parts.

Significations of planets and other goodies from Abū Maʿshar, the survival and adoption of infants discussed by Rhetorius, natal and electional uses of some lunar mansions… these are only the texts translated for the first time.

I mean, the querent produces or forms

HOROI Project @horoiproject.bsky.social · Jul 12

My take is that H5 represents "children" in the broadest sense, including non-animate roles like artwork. Everyone/everything the produces or forms.

HOROI Project @horoiproject.bsky.social · Jul 12

1. H5, if the teacher is the querent (H1), and the teacher-students dynamics are being investigated.
2. No. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't use natural significators for main roles in the question.

HOROI Project @horoiproject.bsky.social · Jul 11

I wonder if there's a lucky corner on the planet where most of them aren't clowns and/or baboons.

HOROI Project @horoiproject.bsky.social · Jul 11

I agree. Rhetorius conflated a number of sources, including the model of the poets of the Manethoniana and, I believe, Teucer on the barbarous sphere.

HOROI Project @horoiproject.bsky.social · Jul 10

“If Mercury and Venus are in fall in their own or each other’s terms, they make imitators or politicians, especially in Capricorn due to the Ape’s co-rising.” (Rhetorius)

Titled “The Dawn of Horoscopic Astrology and the Development of the Twelve-Fold and Eighth-Fold Spheres,” this talk will focus on the history of the idea of the Ascendant and the two interpretative systems of places, known as the dōdekatropos and the oktatropos.

So, if you are running an astrological website, be aware of this and don't let them scam you.

and a representative of "company" itself, who tells you they insist on registering these domain names. Then, the "registrar" offers you to buy the .cn domains yourself, which is exactly what the scheme is about: giving them your money.

HOROI Project @horoiproject.bsky.social · Jun 16

UPDATE: It seems to me that scammers are targeting victims among those who operate astrological websites. Separate emails are sent to the name of a "registrar," who informs you that .cn domains with the domain name of your website are requested for registration by a "company"...

...and therefore all individuals or companies running or planning to run any business or website under the horoiproject designation are scammers unrelated to the genuine HOROI Project.
