Later in life it stands for anyone who has authority over you such as your boss, the government, the law, etc. It corresponds to the knees, joints, framework of the body, hair and skin. ELEVENTH HOUSE The eleventh house places a focus on the natives ability to express his individuality in the world. This house shows step-children, foster children and adopted children, people you select for shared interests such as your friends, your attitude toward your friends and acquaintances and all nonemotional relationships (social and mental). It shows how you relate to people in a group situation, the way you see others. It indicates your humanitarian interests, the love you receive, what you most desire in life, your goals, hopes and wishes. It shows the results of your ambition and describes the goals and aims you hope to reach through your career or business, money obtained from your profession and circumstances over which you have little control. Here we see large and small organizations, and clubs you belong to. It corresponds to the blood circulation, and the leg from the knee to the ankle. TWELFTH HOUSE The twelfth house places a focus on the natives final adjustment to life as a whole. It shows your unknown or hidden strengths and weaknesses. It shows sorrow, suffering, limitations, handicaps, secrets, seclusion, frustration and behind-the-scenes action. It indicates places of confinement, jails, hospitals, mental institutions, etc., and restraint, inhibitions, exile, secret enemies, hidden dangers, self-undoing and clandestine affairs. It shows the things we hide from others. It also indicates research, background, inner

consciousness, the subconscious mind, spiritual debts to be paid (karma), charity, sympathy and public welfare. It is often called the closet or dustbin of the horoscope because its here that you sweep away or hide your problems that are too painful to face or difficulties that you refuse to acknowledge. It corresponds to the feet. More On Houses Fire Houses (life or personal houses) People with many planets in these houses are inspirational and dynamic. They have great energy and enthusiasm, motivating power and religious convictions. Earth Houses (substance or possessive houses) People with many planets in these houses are stable and usually are the backbone of their communities and families. Their outlooks and vocational aptitudes are concrete and practical. Air Houses (relationships or relative houses) People with many planets in these houses are the "people who need people". These house placements all describe the individual in relation to other members of the community. Water Houses (endings or terminal houses) People with many planets in these houses are sensitive and feeling, they are the psychoanalysts and religious figures. These houses describe the inner most soul, and the probable way that they will leave this earth. Not when, just how Angular Houses (corresponds to cardinal) 1, 4, 7 and 10 Planets in these houses have great potential for dynamic action and their influences are intensified. The 1st house represents independence or no relationship. The 4th represents dependence, or the relationship of one needing care to those who provide it. The 7th represents interdependence, or the relationship between equals. The 10th represents dominance or the relationship between one in authority and those who are subordinate. The relationships of these houses are not necessarily social relationships, as they signify the four main orientations between oneself and anything. Succedent Houses (corresponds to fixed) 2, 5, 8 and 11 Planets in these houses are not as powerful, but, just like the fixed signs, they give stability and purpose. They are also financial houses and often

described as houses of resources. Planets in these houses have a stabilizing influence and the planetary energies in these houses are not usually major sources of crisis. Cadent Houses (corresponds to mutable) 3, 6, 9 and 12 These houses do not have as much opportunity for action as the angular houses, nor do they confer great stability like the fixed houses, but they are adaptable and get along well with others. They are to as the mental houses. The 3rd house signifies the minds routine, daily process. The 9th house is straining outward to comprehend the world. The 12th house is the fears and phobias (among other things) that may condition its responses. Houses 6 and 12 seem to be critical, in that planets in these houses represent issues in life that must be handled well if they are not to become major sources of difficulty. General Guidelines for Aspecting Keep these general rules in mind when you analyze a horoscope for aspects. 1. Each sign has thirty degrees in it, from 0 degrees to 29 degrees. 2. Aspects are always figured by counting signs, not houses, otherwise you might overlook a sign that is intercepted in a house. Just because a sign is not on a cusp does not mean that it is not there. It is, and it has thirty degrees just like any other sign. If the first house cusp is in Cancer and the second house cusp is in Virgo, the sign Leo is intercepted in the first house. Each house does not necessarily contain thirty degrees. 3. When a planet is exalted or dignified it can integrate well and can handle all aspects in a more positive manner. 4. Check for out of sign aspects; these occur when a planet is at the very beginning or end of a sign. For example: Jupiter at 40 degrees Leo square Saturn at 28 degrees Aries. 5. An applying aspect (gaining in light) is stronger than a waning aspect (decreasing in light). The applying aspect shows something you are working

towards; the waning aspect shows something that has been recently learned. 6. Aspects to the Sun are the root, seed and plant of the character. Basic character is formed by the most exact aspects in the horoscope. Aspects show tendencies, abilities and disabilities, rather than attainment. In other words, the natal chart shows your potential, but your free will dictates how much or how little you do with it. Remember 1. The most important angles are the ones made to the Ascendant and the Midheaven 2. Planets in strong close aspect to an angle, which are the four points dividing the chart (especially those in square to it). 3. Planets in angular houses 1, 4, 7, 10 are stronger 4. When a negative sign rises, the mother gives the greater impression When a positive sign rises, the father gives the greater impression. 5. Significators are the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven Astrological Terminology ASCENDANT = also called rising sign ACTIVE SIGNS = also called masculine or odd signs ANGULAR HOUSES = are also called angles or axes, correspond to Cardinal Signs they are 1, 4, 7, 10 ASCENDING PLANETS = those between the 4th house and the 9th house APOGEE = the point in an orbit where the orbiting body is farthest from the Earth BENEFIC PLANET = a beneficial planet. In horary, these are traditionally Venus (the lesser benefic) and Jupiter (the greater benefic). In addition, the Part of Fortune as well as several fixed stars, most notably Regulus and Spica are considered benefic BESTIAL SIGNS = a traditional division of the signs which appears to carry no practical application in modern delineation. Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius, and Capricorn, are bestial signs because these represent four-footed creatures BICORPOREAL SIGNS = also called Double-Bodied Signs. Gemini, Sagittarius,

Pisces. Originally Ptolemy referred to all of the mutable signs as being bicorporeal and so Virgo was included BITTER SIGNS = an archaic term referring to the Fire Signs BLUE MOON = the expression refers to a relatively rare month in which two Full Moons occur, one at the beginning and one at the end of the month BOREAL SIGNS = an archaic term referring to the Northern Signs Aries through Virgo CADENT HOUSES = correspond to Mutable Signs they are 3, 6, 9, 12 COLLECTION OF LIGHT = when the two main significators have already separated from each other but each applies by major aspect to a third planet, this third planet can act as a transmitter and collect their lights bringing them back into aspect again. Whether the planets apply by direct or retrograde motion to the transmitting planet is of no importance. Furthermore, the transmitting planet is able to collect more than one pair of significators provided they are within the moiety of orbs. Although the outer planets are never used as main significators they can act as collectors of light COMBUSTION = when the Sun is within 8 degrees and 30 minutes of a planet, especially when it is not a significator, either applying or separating, it combusts that planet and renders it powerless. Combustion can occur either in or out of sign as it is the Sun's moiety of orbs that is the deciding factor. Combustion has always been regarded as highly malefic in horary. When the Sun is conjunct the ruler of the ascendant it will result in negative answers. Combustion may occur as a result of collection or translation of light where planets are either separating or applying to combustion. Combustion can also occur when planets are within 8 degrees and 30 minutes of a parallel of the Sun, especially when applying and the Sun is not a significator in the question. This condition will also occur when a planet is conjunct the Sun's antiscion point. When the Sun is conjunct the ascendant degree either separating or applying it can render the horary invalid. In other words, there is no way of telling the outcome to the question

CONTRA-PARALLEL = two planets possessing the same degree of declination, one in the north and one in the south CO-SIGNIFICATOR = along with the significator which is the ruling planet, Lord, or ruling sign, in horary astrology the co-significator refers additionally to a traditional planet or sign that relates to the matter under consideration because of certain astrological rulerships or associations CULMINATION = 1. the arrival of a planet at the Midheaven (M.C., upper meridian). Sometimes called "southing." 2. Culmination also refers to the perfection of an aspect DEBILITY = a weakening of a planet because of its placement in certain signs and houses which are considered to be incompatible with the energy or characteristics of the planet. A planet is said to be debilitated when adversely aspected, in the sign of its detriment or fall, or in a cadent house DECANATE (Decan) = each sign of the zodiac occupies 30 degrees. Every sign is further sub-divided into 10 degree segments called Decanates ruled by the three signs of the same element. Thus, while all three decanates are first and foremost Arian/Martian in quality, the first decanate of Aries is the strongest because it is also sub-ruled by Aries, the second decanate is sub-ruled by Leo and therefore takes on an additional Leonine/Sun flavor, while the third decanate of Aries is sub-ruled by Sagittarius, taking on a Sagittarian/Jupiter flavor. There is a Chaldean division of each sign into three 10-degree faces ruled by the seven classical planets in Chaldean order starting with Mars ruling the first Face of Aries DETRIMENT = a sign opposite the one ruled by a planet. For example, the detriment of the Moon is Capricorn because the Moon rules the opposite sign Cancer. Being in detriment weakens a planet and is a debility. A person represented by a planet in detriment may feel out-classed or be obligated to work, and in general will function at a disadvantage DEXTER ASPECT = dexter means "on the right-hand side." A dexter aspect is one in which the faster planet is waxing, or increasing in light, with respect to the slower one. The faster (applying) planet is casting its rays to the right (dexter) to form the aspect because the more ponderous planet lies on the

right side of the applying planet as viewed from the Earth. Lilly says, "Dexter Aspects are contrary to the succession of Signs;" that is, the rays of the faster planet flow clockwise around the wheel to reach the slower planet as viewed from the Earth. If planets are direct in motion, a dexter aspect forms as a result of increasing angular distance between them so that the planets are moving toward an eventual opposition DIGNITY = a condition which strengthens a planet's influence. Dignity may be essential due to an affinity or sympathy of a planet with a particular region of the zodiac, or accidental due to house position, planetary motion, favorable aspects, etc. For example, if Mars is in Aries it is said to be dignified. If Mars is in the 1st House it is said to be accidentally dignified DIRECT MOTION = eastward movement of a planet in the order of the zodiac signs from Aries to Taurus to Gemini, etc. Retrograde motion is opposite to direct motion DISPOSITOR = the planet that rules the sign or dignity another planet occupies. For example, if Mars is in Libra, the dispositor of Mars is Venus. In addition, a planet can Dispose (Receive) another planet through any of its essential Ptolemaic dignities. Thus, the Sun will dispose by exaltation any planet in Aries because the Sun is exalted in Aries DIURNAL CHART = a reference to a chart where the Sun is in houses 7 through 12, when the individual is born during the daylight hours ECLIPTIC = the path through the heavens that all the planets appear to follow ELEMENT = also called triplicity and are fire, earth, air and water, they share certain common characteristics EQUATOR = also called the horizon is the horizontal axis of the horoscope and refers to consciousness EARTH SIGNS = the three signs in the Earth element are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Earth signs are considered practical, in touch with the physical world and having the strength of persistence and endurance

EGRESS = astrologically, the point at which a planetary body, or luminary, leaves a sign ELECTIONAL CHART = a horoscope chart cast to determine the best time to take action. Electional astrology is the reverse application of horary procedures ELEVATION = the angular distance of a body above the horizon. An elevated planet in a natal chart is generally at the top of the chart near the 10th House. Elevated planets are said to exert a strong influence on a chart EQUAL HOUSE SYSTEM = a house system in which all houses are equal in width. Someone born with 5 Leo on the Ascendant would then have each House cusp at 5 degrees of the succeeding sign; therefore their 2nd House cusp would be at 5 Virgo, the 3rd House cusp at 5 Libra etc EQUINOX = the two points in the year when the length of the day is equal to the length of the night EXALTATION = a sign in which a planet functions well. A form of essential dignity. Exaltation is next in power to dignity by ruling sign FEMININE SIGNS = also called passive or even signs* are the Earth and Water signs, (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces). Feminine signs are said to be more receptive and introverted FRUITFUL SIGNS = Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. They are known as the generators of life atoms FORTUNATE SIGNS = Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra and Aquarius. Are considered most fortunate when on the ascendant, because they are of positive and have greater power naturally to cope FIRST NATAL PLANET TO RISE = the first planet counter-clockwise from the Ascendant FRUSTRATION = when two significators apply by major aspect to each other but before perfecting the slower of the two, the planet doing the frustrating, aspects a third planet therefore frustrating the faster significator and leading to a "no" or negative answer to the question. Although the three

outer planets are never used as main significators, they can be involved in frustration. This is the first of two rules where inhibiting planets have the power to prevent major aspects from perfecting between significators even though they are within the moiety of their orbs at the time of the question FALL = a sign opposite the one in which a planet is exalted. A significator in its fall may indicate an unfortunate, helpless, insolvent, or cruel person. A planet in its fall may literally refer to a person who has fallen, been disgraced, or suffered some kind of limitation. In charts about a missing object, it may have fallen down from where it was originally FERTILE SIGNS = sometimes called fruitful signs; they are Cancer Scorpio and Pisces. These signs are said to be productive. When the Moon is in these water signs it is said to be a good time for planting GEOCENTRIC = the Earth (geo) centered (centric) view of the solar system. The way the heavens appear from point of view Earth. Also, any measurement taken from the center of the Earth HOROSCOPE = means hour pointer HELIOCENTRIC = when taking the Sun as the center HARMONIOUS ASPECTS = also called flowing, pacifying, mollifying and easy HORARY = the branch of astrology in which a chart is cast for the time that a question is asked in order to determine the answer to that question IC = called imum coeli meaning the lowest heavens INHARMONIOUS ASPECTS = also called challenging, tension producing, stimulating, irritating and hard INFERIOR PLANETS = Moon, Venus and Mercury. Called this because they are inferior in size and influence KOCH HOUSE SYSTEM = a modern intersection house system yielding similar results to the Placidus system LUNAR ECLIPSE = happens at the time of a Full Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in opposition LUNAR RETURNS = lasts for 28 daysSolar returns for 1 year

LONG ASCENSION = are signs that take longer to pass over the ascendant. The signs of long ascension are 00 Cancer through 29 Sagittarius LILITH = often considered a small or 'dark' moon or asteroid, Lilith is a recent addition to astrology and research seems to show that it may be variously associated with conflict resolution, self hatred in women, related to power and control issues, repression and misogyny LUNATION = a complete cycle between two new moons, also referred to as a synodic month. Lunations average 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 2.7 seconds. The term Lunation is also sometimes used interchangeably with new moon MIDHEAVEN = also called medium coeli meaning the middle of the heavens MERIDIAN = is the vertical axis of the horoscope and refers to power MASCULINE SIGNS = in one of many classifications of the signs of the zodiac, they are divided into masculine or feminine. Masculine signs are the Fire and Air signs - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. These are said to be more extroverted and active than the Feminine signs MEAN MOTION = the mean or average daily motion of the planets is a measure of their average speed in degrees and minutes per day over the course of several years. The mean or average daily motion should not be confused with the mean or average value of the fastest and slowest possible speeds of the planets MIDPOINTS = a point half way between two other points. In astrology it is the halfway point between two planets or sensitive points in the chart, and indicates a place where their combined energies are strong. If a third planet or sensitive point is close to or in hard aspect to a midpoint this adds to its significance in the chart MUNDANE ASTROLOGY = the astrology of world affairs MUTUAL RECEPTION = this occurs when two planets receive each other in one of their essential dignities. For example, Mars in Gemini and Mercury in Aries are in mutual reception because Mars rules Aries and Mercury rules Gemini. Mutual reception by ruling sign is the strongest. In order of strength, there

can be reception by sign, exaltation, triplicity, term, or face. There are also mixed mutual receptions, as when planet A is in the terms of B while planet B is in the exaltation of A MUTABLE SIGNS = qualities are a division of the signs of the zodiac into three areas Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. The four Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo Sagittarius and Pisces. Mutable signs are said to be more adaptable and flexible but can also be too changeable or easily swayed NATAL CHARTS = also called radical and nativity charts NORTHERN SIGNS = Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo. These signs in natural position constitute the northern portion of the zodiac OCCIDENTAL = term applying to the western portion of the chart and a planet here is descending or setting. Planets in the 10th to the 4th house cusp are occidental ORIENTAL = refers to the eastern portion of the chart, any planet placed between the 4th house and the cusp of the 10th is oriental PLANETARY RULER = the planet that is harmonious in temperament with the sign it rules PROHIBITION = a "no" or negative answer will result when two significators are applying by major aspect to each other but before perfecting, the first receives a major aspect from a third faster planet such as Mercury or Venus which then in turn applies by major aspect to the second significator. This is the traditional description of prohibition. Nevertheless, if any planet applies to one of the significators before they perfect their aspect, this will also function as a prohibition and will produce a negative answer to the question. This rule is the second example of an inhibiting planet in action. Although the three outer planets are never used as main significators, they can be involved in prohibition. These kind of prohibitions can in no way effect aspects or other rules involving the Moon and main significators. Prohibition involving the outer planets does not necessarily mean a "no" or negative answer PONDERABLE PLANETS = Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter. Called this because

they move slower than the others, requiring more time to complete their cycle and their influences are therefore slower to manifest PEREGRINE = foreign, alien. Said of a planet posited in a sign where it possesses no essential dignity; where it is neither dignified nor debilitated and appears to operate almost independently of other planets. It is employed in Horary Astrology where it is usually reckoned as a debility. In a question of a theft, a peregrine planet at an angle or in the second house is the thief. However, no planet is considered to be peregrine if it is in mutual reception with another. Has come into more modern usage referring to a planet which is unaspected PERIGEE = the point where two celestial bodies are as close as they can get to each other in their orbits, i.e., when the Earth and Moon are as close as they can get, the Moon is at Perigee to Earth PRIME MERIDIAN = the Meridian that passes through the zenith, north, nadir, and south points of Greenwich, England's Horizon from which both time and Earth's longitude is measured QUALITY = also called quadruplicities, these have certain qualities in common, these are cardinal, fixed, mutable QUERANT = in horary astrology, the individual asking the question is referred to as the querent QUESITED = in horary astrology the quesited is the person, event or thing that is the subject of the question being asked REFRANATION = perfection is denied when one significator applying by major aspect to the other significator turns either stationary retrograde or direct before completing the aspect. Although the three outer planets are never used as main significators, they can be involved in Refranation. This does not necessarily mean a "no" or negative answer RIGHT ASCENSION = the east and west measurement of a celestial body along the Celestial Equator. To plot a celestial body on the Celestial Equator, the declination is needed as well

SUCCEDENT HOUSES = correspond to fixed signs they are 2, 5, 8, 11 SATURN CHASING THE MOON = when the Moon and Saturn are in conjunction and the transiting speed of Saturn continues to equal that of the Moon SIGNIFICATORS = are the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven SOLAR ECLIPSE = happens at the time of a New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are conjunct SHORT ASCENSION = signs that take a shorter period of time to pass over the ascendant. The signs of short ascension are from 00 Capricorn through 29 Gemini SOUTHERN SIGNS = Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. When placed in their natural positions are found to be south of the equator in the southern half of the chart STRONG SIGNS = Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Aquarius. This term is used for the reason that these signs rising, gives the native a large muscular or athletic frame SUPERIOR PLANETS = Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Called this because they are superior to the Earth and beyond it from the Sun SIDEREAL PERIOD = the amount of time expressed in Earth years that it takes a celestial body to make one complete orbit around the Sun SIGNIFICATOR = a planet symbolizing a person or matter related to the horary question. The main significator is the planet ruling the cusp of the relevant house. Co-significators include the Moon for the querent and any planets in the house in question, or the planet ruling a sign intercepted in the relevant house. Some planets are natural significators, as Venus in questions of relationship, and Saturn in matters of obstruction, etc. SINISTER ASPECT = sinister means "on the left-hand side." A sinister aspect is one in which the faster planet is waning, or decreasing in light with respect to the slower one. The faster (applying) planet is casting its rays to the left (sinister) to form the aspect because the more ponderous planet lies on the left side of the applying planet as viewed from the Earth. With sinister

aspects, the rays of the faster planet flow counterclockwise around the wheel to reach the slower planet. If planets are direct in motion, a sinister aspect forms as a result of decreasing angular distance between them so that the planets are moving toward an eventual conjunction SUMMER SOLSTICE = cardinal point in the zodiac 00 Cancer. The point on the Ecliptic that is farthest north of the Celestial Equator. The Sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer, and the northern hemisphere experiences the longest daylight hours SYNASTRY = the comparison between the interaction of two or more charts, this is a popular technique for evaluating romantic relationships but can also be used for partnership ventures or parent-child relationships TRANSLATION OF LIGHT = this occurs when a transiting planet is separating from an aspect with one planet while simultaneously applying an aspect to another planet. The idea is that the transiting planet briefly connects the other two planets, imparting the influence (the light) from one to the other TROPICAL ZODIAC = the zodiacal view based on correspondence with the seasons of four cardinal points along the Ecliptic; beginning at 00 Aries at the Vernal Equinox. Sometimes referred to as "Moving Zodiac." The difference between the Sidereal and Tropical Zodiac is a result of the precession of equinoxes UNDER THE SUNBEAMS = between 8.5 degrees and 17 degrees from the Sun. This is a mild accidental debility. Greater than the moiety but less than the orb from the Sun's center. The origin of this concept may be the heliacal rising of the Moon which is obscured by the Sun's light until it is 17 degrees away from the Sun. Jonathan Clark added, "Although instructions for celebrating the New Moon each month are contained in the Old Testament, there was traditionally a second celebration which occurred a couple of days later at the time that the moon could actually be seen for the first time; at the time of the New Moon it was, of course, invisible URANIAN ASTROLOGY = sometimes referred to as the Hamburg School of Astrology,

established in the early 20th century. It relies on hard aspects and midpoints and uses eight hypothetical planets in analyses VOICE SIGNS = Gemini, Libra, the last part of Virgo and the first part of Sagittarius. When any of these signs are found on the ascendant or the 1st house and Mercury and the Moon are strong and unafflicted, the native will be a good speaker VOID OF COURSE MOON = the Moon is void of course when it cannot apply within the moiety of orbs to other planets. It cannot therefore: a. Apply or move towards another planet by major aspect. b. Apply or move towards the parallel or contraparallel of another planet. c. Apply or move towards the antiscion or contrantiscion degree of another planet. The Moon is not void of course if it applies to the ascendant degree within the moiety of its own orbs. It is not void if it applies to any of the outer planets within the moiety of their combined orbs. A void of course Moon may appear at the beginning, middle or end of a sign VOID OF COURSE PLANET = a planet is Void of Course for that period in which it is devoid of major aspects (0, 60, 90, 120, 180 degree aspects) on its course through the zodiac. In the modern definition, the Moon or a planet is void of course if it makes no further Ptolemaic aspects before leaving its current sign. Also, the outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are included in the modern definition VERNAL EQUINOX = the first day of spring, the Sun enters the vernal equinox in the sign of Aries Cardinal point of the zodiac-00 Aries. The point where the Ecliptic meets the Celestial Equator in the east. When the Sun hits this point, we have equal hours of day and night VERTEX = the point in space where the Ecliptic meets the Prime Vertical in the west VIA COMBUSTA = the region from 15 degrees Libra to 15 degrees Scorpio considered an ancient malefic tumultuous zone of the nature of Mars, Saturn, and now also Uranus. Used mostly in Horary astrology, the Moon here is a

consideration before judgment and traditionally may render the chart not fit to judge WINTER SOLSTICE = cardinal point of the zodiac-00 Capricorn. The point on the Ecliptic that is farthest south from the Celestial Equator. The Sun reaches the Tropic of Capricorn, in the south, so they experience the longest daylight hours at this time
