The procreation of children Conclusion Section 8: Appendix Some mathematical rules Tables of ascendants Comment: Many people ask, why do astrologers study birth charts, why do they not study the moment of conception? This is not a new question. The reason for birth charts is that birth is a significant, easily determined moment in time. The reason against conception is that it's darn hard, in most cases, to figure out exactly when that was. You need a technique. The standard technique, which was not new to Bailey - nor Sepharial, his muse - was to go back nine months, interchange ascendant & moon, and call that the Epoch, or moment of conception. This is as far as Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson ever took it. The problem was the simple interchange did not work in all that many cases. The solution, which both Sepharial & Bailey gradually arrived at, was an additional three epochs. Which one applies to you depends on where the moon is by house, and the angular relationship it has to the sun. As to the various goodies in this book, read the Table of Contents (above) carefully: The prenatal epoch is a factor in rectification, twins & multiple births, and birth defects. It can also be used with directions, primary directions & more. Which amounts to an entire school of astrology, if anyone wants to push it. Towards the end of Bailey's life (1876-1959), Hans Niggemann, of Uranian astrology fame, got him to admit there should be even more rules & epochs, but until someone else is so inspired, E.H. Bailey's work is the standard which all others must meet. Click here for an extract (pdf). Astrology Classics, 239 pages.

Charts, tables, diagrams, 90 degree graphic ephemerides are found on nearly every page. (Which accounts, I think, for the high price: A lot of work went into this book.) Notably, Tebbs did not choose just any charts to rectify. Her first two examples are Elizabeth Taylor & Johnny Cash. I was amazed to learn these two were born just 18 hours apart! Making them time twins. Follow the detailed instructions in this book, and you, too, can learn to rectify. Carol's rectifications are to one to two degrees on the ascendant, ie, 5 to 10 minutes of time. Which is to say it isn't the ear-splitting nearest-second-of-time Uranian method, which I always found unsettling. If you want more accuracy with Tebb's method, you will need to closely observe subsequent transits. But this is well-known already. All rectifications are tentative, none are ever completely proven. As impressed as I am with this book, I was surprised with Tebbs's contrast of Taylor's & Cash's charts. In chapter 5 she strains to show the actual differences between the two charts, the two human lives in question, in which every planet in one chart, save the moon, is exactly conjunct the same planet in the other chart. She contrasts Taylor & Cash's angles from ascendant to midheaven, the dwads of the angles, she analyzes outer planet transits activate Cash's & Taylor's close natal aspect patterns simultaneously (head, pg. 79) but while she knows that differences in houses have something to do with their individual transit responses, she is unable to make house structures themselves come to life to account for them. Surely it cannot be that I am the only person who can read a chart!? This is a fabulous book. You can almost learn the technique by reading the table of contents, above. This book will repay study many times over. Llewellyn, 198 pages.

	ASTROLOGY A PLACE IN CHAOS - Bernadette Brady, $28.00 Contents: Foreword 1. Two worlds - Cosmos & chaos 2. The war of the worlds 3. The stirring of Tiamat 4. Where chaos meets astrology 5. Living inside a Fractal 6. Working with chaotic astrology Glossary Bibliography Index Comment: As neither the title of the book, nor the chapter headings, are very helpful, let's go through this book chapter by chapter: 1. Two Worlds - Cosmos & Chaos. A survey of creation myths, starting with the one in Genesis, which the author learned at an early age & how Darwinian theory impacted it. Brady briefly describes her Celtic ancestry & the various rituals common to her family, culminating in her introduction to astrology. Then we have Aboriginal & Chinese creation myths, a glance at the Egyptian & Greek & some others. These are contrasted and compared. Serious analysis is not attempted, in fact, I don't think it ever occurred to the author. 2. The War of the Worlds. What it's like in the cursed, chaotic region beyond the walled world of order, the denial of that world, as related in the Babylonian creation myth of Enuma Elish. This is the story of Marduk & Tiamat. This is related, in a general sense, to other myths, including Ridley Scott's 1979 movie, Alien. Brady writes, As we have already discussed, cosmic thinking requires a causal logic, a linear simplicity & a series of events that can be used to build further knowledge. In contrast, chaos thinking is based in seemingly non-causal links between patterns reliant on repeating themes with no regard to size, time or nature. (pg. 33) You may forgive me if I say this does not make sense. Things are related, or they are not. If chaotic items can be related, by any means whatever, then they are not chaotic. She continues, In Eastern philosophy these differences are allowed to stand side by side. (pg. 33) She then goes on to conclude that the categories of cosmos & chaos are distinctly western, Christian ideas. As Cosmos vs: Chaos is underlying principle of the book, this would seem to reduce the overall size of the book to a Western squabble. She then goes into a brief history of how the West reduced pre-Greek chaos to the clock-work order of the late 19th century. She then relates how astrology has managed chaos vs: cosmos, but as she has not studied ancient astrology (Ptolemy is the only one, and as we now know, he was not typical of his day) she concludes that astrology can be either purely mechanical (Cosmobiology) or mystical/religious. 3. Chaos for beginners - The stirrings of Tiamat. This starts with the story of how fractals & chaos theory were invented, by Edward Lorentz at MIT in 1961. I will cut to the chase & say that Brady supplies much more analysis, much more detail here, with computers & programs & such, than she ever mustered in the sections on mythology. This is understandable. Computers, fractals, chaos, are products of the modern world, in which Brady lives. It is everyone's home turf. Suffice to say that Lorenz found chaos late one night by means of a malfunctioning computer program (one intended to simulate weather). Chaos turns out to be a product of number manipulation. (This is my conclusion, not the author's.) Personally, I found it hard to follow the book past this point. It seems to say that because a program to predict the weather failed when input was rounded to the third decimal point (from the sixth), therefore the world is a weird & strange place. Brady does not tell us how this conclusion was derived. Numbers are strange things. How you look at numbers determines what the numbers really are. As a quantity, the number 5.345634 will always be a subset of the number 5.345. As an address (perhaps as in a computer's memory array), 5.345634 has no relationship whatever to 5.345, except as we, human beings, may give to it. So far as virtual addresses are concerned, they may be miles apart. Brady writes, Lorenz decided to focus on this phenomenon of making one small change to a variable creating unpredictable results. In 1963, he presented a paper [Deterministic nonperiodical flow, in the Journal of Atmospheric Science] on this work and eventually it became entitled, "Predictability: Does the flap of a butterfly's wings set off a tornado in Texas?" He had discovered what was later defined as Sensitive Dependent to Initial Conditions and this became reduced to its initials SDIC. What SDIC indicates is that the smallest change in a complex interrelated system at the beginning of a process gives rise to disproportional differences at the end. (pg. 57) With all due respect, this is what happens when you manipulate numbers. Multiply $4.24 times $7.67 and you will get an answer that does not exist in real finance (ten-thousandths of a dollar, or hundredths of a cent). It will also, by the way, be an answer that is not valid in terms of pure mathematics. If the result ($32.5208) is multiplied & divided further (by numbers themselves derived by such means, perhaps), the results becomes increasingly worthless. But as a basis for pretty pictures? Sure. Simply because a result is invalid as a quantity does not make it devoid of other uses. The mistake is the interpretation, not the result itself. At this point Brady says how Lorenz's program proved the weather was not a linear system and that, therefore, it must be a chaotic one. I looked in her Bibliography but did not find C.C. Zain's book on Weather Predicting, nor Kris Brandt Riske's Astrometeorology. This omission may make her book an effort in circular logic, but let's be patient & see what she does with her materials. Tiamat stirs about to page 81. It tells how the world can be described as a series of numerical calculations and how this is done without the hand of man being visible. I'm sorry, but I didn't buy it. Two-point perspective did exactly the same for Renaissance artists, and they were just as excited as Brady is now. (Myself, I mastered two point, one point, three point, and, eventually, four, five & six point perspectives.) This is technique, nothing more. The tubes of paint you buy from the store determines the colors of your canvas. The numbers you feed into your fractal generator determine the outcome. Are scientists & mathematicians too shy to claim the title of "artist"? 4. Where Chaos Meets Astrology. How the story of Leonardo's Mona Lisa can be described as phase portraits, attractors, saddle points, bifurcations & topological characteristics, the nomenclature of chaos theory. How horoscopes can be described in Chaotic terms. This is a reductionist approach & has been attempted many times, as Brady herself notes on pg. 107. She says, correctly, that in the past astrology has been resistant to reductionist approaches. This book is evidence that Brady believes that this time she's the one who finally got it right. She says, Nor, chaotically thinking, can it [astrology] seek a place within artisan god-based religions, steered by some divine external hand, for the spontaneous emergence of patterns and order from the void does not require, nor have any place for a cosmic order. (pg. 107) This is where the problem lies, with a Sunday-school understanding of religion & ritual. A century ago considerable effort was made to show what religion really was, but it was rejected & today is known & understood by only a few. The resulting self-imposed scarcity of knowledge does not change the greater reality of the actual world, even if that awareness is limited to a few. 5. Living inside a Fractal. Fate & freewill, that old chestnut. Life described in chaos theory. New patterns emerging on the edge of chaos. Telos - the idea that a block of marble wants to be a sculpture by Michelango. 6. Working with Chaotic Astrology. Here are the main points to chaotic astrological counseling: Find, using predictive astrological techniques, the times of bifurcation or tipping points - this is when change will come into the person's life, the time when they will be visiting "the edge of chaos." Suggest that the person in this time period change their daily routine in some way in a repetitive manner. This is iteration which helps to produce a new order. [We used to call that making a new habit.] Define the quality of the nature of the potential new patterns that want to emerge at this time through the use of normal astrological predictive techniques. [To the extent that you, as counselor, understand them.] Encourage the person to watch for the first new patterns via coincidence, serendipity or even synchronicity, of the new opportunities they wish to harvest. Once the person sees the new patterns, they need to have the courage and the trust to act on the small fragments of opportunities presented to them. [Good luck!] (pg. 156) A few pages later, Thus the astrologer would know that if they can help the client create a small change in their attitude at the right time of their life, then this will lead to huge changes... (pg. 161, emphasis in original) This is, sad to say, the usual "astrologer as god" stuff that gets so many astrologers into trouble. Conclusion: If you agree with the philosophy, you will like this book. If you do not have a philosophy, you might like this one. It seems I fit in neither category. Wessex Astrologer, 178 pages.

For example, Mars ascended or culminated in the case of athletes with the probability against chance distribution ranging from 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 1,000,000. This work has been internationally recognized as the most important scientific support that astrology has ever received. Dr. Gauquelin has validated the existence of a correlation between the state of the solar system & human experience. Aurora Press, 319 pages, paper.

Comment: Published by Neil Michelsen at ACS, the two were close friends. From the back cover: Over one hundred years ago, Gregor Mendel discovered the fundamental laws of genetic heredity. His work was too revolutionary for the authorities of that time to accept. But, today, Nobel prizes are numerous in the science of genetics. Michael Gauquelin may have made a discovery of the same nature. Through extremely hard work (gathering the birth data of more than 100,000 deliveries) he has demonstrated that we were born under similar cosmic conditions as prevailed at the birth of our parents. Thus, he is the founder of a new genetic science. Mendel, an obscure monk working with plants, discovered patterns of human heredity. Gauquelin graphs a relationship between human heredity & the stars.... This American edition covers both the original studies discussed in the French edition (1966) and updated material from continuous research on this subject. ACS, 95 pages, paper.

If Jeff Mayo says the Sun is "powerful", do the charts of powerful men have the Sun in Gauquelin sectors? (In the case of the Sun, no.) Keywords from ten classic books were analyzed: Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos (translations: French-Bourdin, English-Robbins), Carter's The Principles of Astrology, Hone's The Modern Textbook of Astrology, Barbault's Defense et Illustration de l'Astrologie, Hall's Astrological Keywords, Mayo's Teach Yourself Astrology, Dal Lee's Dictionary of Astrology, Grell's Keywords, Weingarten's The Study of Astrology, and, finally, Mann's The Round Art. (Note: the English language books are all out of print except for Robbins's Ptolemy & Hall's Astrological Keywords.) How the study was done & the results they got form the basis of this book.
