 ANTHONY P. NELSON PAGE
He was bom in London (51N32;OWO8) on February 25, 1919, at llh
28ni25s Universal Time (rectified).
As a schoolboy, he came to Buenos Aires when his parents immip-ated
to the Argentine. After a commercial education, he went into business at
the age of 18. At this time, he became interested in astrology. With all the
seriousness that we can expect from a man with such a scientific mind, he
improved his knowledge in mathematics and achieved a solid command of
astronomy. These extensive studies, with the emphasis on mathematics and
statistics, helped very much in his outstanding career, as in later years, up
to his death, he had a job of great responsibility with an insurance com­
pany. He married at 23 and had 3 children. His eldest son, himself a serious
astrologer, attained a degree as a nuclear physicist.
Nelson Page’s salient importance lies in the fact that he recognized,
and subsequently exposed, the actual basis of serious astrological research:
the scientifically provable rectification.
Together with his friend Vendel Polich (collaborator for over 20
years), he solved many of the trigonometrical problems of astrology and
found the Topocentric House System retrospectively, i.e., via events on
narrowly timed births. I
Further achievements of his contemporary scientific astrology are the
ascensional transits as described in a developed form in this book.
AU those astrologers who, in the Argentine, Europe, or elsewhere, i

have collaborated with A.P. Nelson Page and his partner Vendel Polich,
will be able to judge what he has done for the development of astrology.
A.P. Nelson Page died at the age of 51 on March 1, 1970, in Buenos
Aires. The recognition of his and his friend’s (V. Polich) discoveries to their
full extent, however, awaits later generations. For A.P. Nelson Page’s rec­
tified birth chart, please see Prediction using Common and Prenatal
Cycles, by Alexander Marr.
 VENDEL POLICH
He was born in Veprovacs (Province Basca, Hungary) on April 26,
1892. After having finished his studies in Budapest, he became a professor
of mathematics there. He immigrated to Argentina after his homeland had
been annexed by Yugoslavia. In Argentir^a, Polich was forced to have dif­
ferent occupations until he was finally employed in 1928 in a metallurgic
firm where he worked until 1952. .
In 1934, he took up astrology and'translated books, including some by
English astrologers, such as Alan Leo and Vivi^Robson.
In I942, he met his friend and collaborator, Anthony P. Nelson Page,
with whom he produced The Topocentric System, which was published in
the early sixties.
After the death of A.P. Nelson Page in 1970, he continued to work on
astrology and published The Topocentric System, which is available in
English and Spanish, published in Buenos. Aires by Editorial Regulus
S.L.R.
He died in Buenos Aires in January of 1980.

 FOREWORD
My first contact with astrology in 1947 was purely accidental. Up to
this time, I had a strong prejudice against everything that seemed to me to
be strange, if not to say illogical. The assertions of astrologers that
luminaries and planets have a strong influence on character and destiny of
individuals, and even on whole nation^, was something that, it seemed, I
could never believe. It was the delineation of my radix horoscope by a col­
league which impressed me very much, as it fitted my character, talents,
and professions with an astonishing accuracy. After a year of experiments
with various astrological systems, I came to the conclusion that the most
important task in astrology was to find a method which enables us to
achieve propierly authenticated birth times by means of a scientifically
provable rectification method.
After long lasting experiments, I selected two methods which seemed
to produce true and scientifically acceptable results. These were:
a) The solar arc in RA combined with the secondary directional system
a^d _ ’
b) 'The Naibpd key in connectioiy with the primary directional system;
the originator of which was^CarTl^ehr,^ who published the book,
Berechnung der Ereigniszeiten (Computation of time periods for
happenings).
One of my successful rectifications was performed on the birth chart
of George V, which was consolidated by both the primary and secondary
system.
In 1962, I made the acquaintance of Anthony Nelson Page, one of the
originators of the Topocentric system with whom a very close collaboration
began. The decisive reason why I followed his Topocentric system and gave
up the Campanus system of houses was because my rectification of George
V’s horoscope produced about 60 percent more convincing directions when
applying Nelson Page’s and Vcndel Polich’s method with the aid of house
and interplanetary directions. (Directions with the MC and Ascendant are
identical in both Kuehr’s and Nelson Page’s jj^tems.)
fif the meantime, I have rectified over 200 birth charts. Most of these
rectifications (in those cases where qjarge number of events were available)
may be regarded as scientifically pVovabK. Beside tKisT I also used otbef
methods and found some new ones to prove the rectifications, and to con­
solidate the efficacy of all the systems employed. I have published some of
these systems in Prediction using Common and Prenatal Cycles. For
reasons of simplicity, I will use the abbreviation Prediction in this book
where I refer to this publication.

Some material presented in this book is taken from my previous ar­

ticles in Spica, the sidereal journal of my friend and patron, Brigadier R.C.
Firebrace, who left this planet in 1974. His editorship of Spica was
characterized not only by his open mind and critical intellect, but also by
his great tolerance toward those who presented extreme views.
I wish to extend my gratitude to my friends Barbara Gifford (London)
and Thomas Kushner (New York), who made publication of this book
possible through their kind assistance.

PREDICTION II
Directions and
the Art of Rectification
Chapter 1.

AN INTRODUCTION INTO THE

TOPOCENTRIC SYSTEM
To fully understand the Tqpocentric system of directing planets,
angles and house cusps it is at first necessary to get used to the construction
of the Topocentric houses. On the other hand, as we will see later, especial­
ly in the chapter of “Rectification”, the directions of angles and houses play
the main role in the identification of'the true birth time.
In contradistinction to all other existing domification systems, many
of which must be categorically rejected as they lack a correct astronomical,
and sometimes even logical approach, the Topocentric system of Nelson
Page and Vendel Polich fulfills all demands in the mathematical,
astronomical, and astrological senses.
I must emphasize here that, so far, Campanus and Regiomontanus are
the only constructors of astrological houses (as far as the 12-fold division is
concerned) which, in my opinion, respect the spheric trigonometric rules
for the globe of the earth and the heavens. Campanus not only respects the
traditional rules of the heavens’ mechanics but, as seems to us quite logical,
divides the sphere between tl^e Midheaven and the Ascendant from the East
Point to the West Point. I never quite understood why Regiomontanus,
who also respected the laws of conventional astronomy, made a very
similar division as Campanus, but divided the space between the angles
from the North Point to the South Point. For these reasons, it appears to
us that Campemus is the only “house constructor” who not only respects the
laws of the heavens’ mechanics, but also divides the quadrants into three
parts in the most logical manner.
There is another house system which by no means should be overlook­
ed. The house system is Placidus, which is still very much in use. Although
the Placidian houses, loo, are based on nonadmissible astronomical
grounds (because their poles can only be established by several approxima­
tions), in practice it fits all demands of those astrologers who work as prac­
tical, or professional, astrologers with approximate birth times. In fact,
Placidian house cusps differ from the Topocentric only by a maximum of
one degree in moderate Northern or Southern Latitudes. Therefore, for the
reading of birth charts with approximate birth times all Raphael House
Tables can be recommended.
 The Topocentric house system is, besides its remarkably practical
results, striking by the following facts which should be analyzed by
astrologers who have solid knowledge in the mechanics of the heavens.
1. The poles of Topocentric houses are achieved by trisecting the tangent
of the Latitude of the (birth) place which, in its original, nontrisected
form, represents the pole of the unquestionable Ascendant.
EXAMPLE: Topocentric house cusps, John Lennon, Figure 1:
Latitude = 53° N 24’; RAMC = 276° 15.5
Pole Ascendant = 53° N 24’; Pole XI and
III =J/3 TAN_53°24’ = 24° 10’ -
Pole XII and II = 2/3 TAN 53°24’ = 41°55"
Pole Hl and H2 = 1/2 TAN 53°24’ = 33°57’
Hl falls between the ^£Y) and XII(VI) house cusp. It is the fnidpoint in
Oblique Ascension(OA) between the Midheaven and the Ascendant. 112
falls between the II(VIII) and III(IX) house cusp. It is the Midpoint in
^A between the Ascendant and the lC^ Both Hl and H2 have been
found effective in connection with Primary directions.
2. The obUque ascension of the Ascendant and the house cusps: One of the
Ascendant’s characteristics is its perpendicularity to the RAMC, i.e., a
great circle, representing a mundane square in Oblique Ascension(OA).
In John Lennon’s natal chart, the RAMC Ls 276° 15.5.’ By adding 90
degrees, we get 6°15.5’ (366°15.5’) for the OA of the Ascendant. This
characteristic of the Ascendant has also been applied in the Topocentric
house system, which gives a mundane distance of 30 degrees between each
of the house ci^ps. For the computation of angles and house cusps in the
Topocentric system the following basic figures are necessary:
Radix: John Lennon
RAMC = 276° 15.5’ ; Pole = 0°
OAXI = 306°15.5’ ; Pole =24°10’
OA XII = 336°15.5’; Pole = 41°55’
OA 321°15.5’; Pole = 33°57’
OA 51°15.5’; Pole = 33°57’
OA ASC = 6°15.5’; Pole = 53°24’
OA II = 36°15.5’; Pole = 41°55’
OA III = 66°15.5’; Pole = 24°10’

The Arc of Direction

Experience shows that the Naibod key, established by the astrologer

Naiboda (151021593), gives promising results when primary directions,
under the of the significator are affected.

0
 The research of Carl Kuehr, A.P. Nelson Page, and Vendel Polich has
fully confirmed that the measurement 59’08.33” per year is correct. My
analyses, with about_200 radices and over 2000 events also did not reveal
any imperfection. We do not attempt to convince the reader of theories
which may be related to the Naibod key, 59’08.332” per year, as'this magic
figure appears in several combinations where time is concerned. Perhaps
w^ave to realize that this astronomical measurement is a constant, not a
varying figure, for any radix, without the unessential variations in the
rotation of the earth.
The common or civic day of 24 hours begins when the Sun is on the
lower meridian of the location and ends when the Sun has reached exactly
the same position the next day at the very same time. During this period,
the earth has performed one complete revolution of 360 degrees plus the
value of 59’08.33” = 360°59’08.33”
The sidereal day corresponds to the time of two consecutive culmina­
tions of a fixed star or, as astronomy, has established, the culmination of
the Aries Point. During this time, the earth has performed one full circuit
of 360 degrees that is 59’08.33” le^ss than during the above demonstrated
common day. In fact the sidereal day is 3 minutes and 56.555
seconds(59’08,33”) shorter than the common day.
If one rotation of the earth, corresponding to the sidereal day, is divid­
ed by the duration of a full tropical year, we get: 360:365.242197 =
59’08.332”.
With regard to our primary directions, we could say that one daily pro­
gress of Sidereal Time (or the apparent progress of the meridian) 3
minutes56.555 seconds = 59’08.33” corresponcls to one year of life. In this
case, we would arrive at the symbolic and common measurement in second­
ary directions.
1 day (here the progress of the meridian in Sidereal Time)
= 1 year of life.
However, considering the pure realistic facts, without the daily pro­
gress of the earth around the Sun (or the mean apparent daily motion of the
Sun) which has hardly anything to do with the rotation of the earth, we will
get the following corresponding figures:
1 YEAR = 360° (full rotation of the earth) divided by
365.242197 (tropical year in days) =
59’08.33” or TheJ^ibod Key
Chapter 2.

THE RECTIFICATION OF
A NATAL CHART

Provided a certain number of events are available, the following recti­

fication method will produce true results with a high probability factor of
success.
Theoretically, it is possible to'rectify a natal chart using only^one
event, since primary directions in this system develop quite accurately.
However, it has been found in p/actice that when one event is used, several
directions with fairly good symbolism appear, pointing to various radical
birth times. Even if we know the circumstances of the event being analyzed,
we should never select or give preference to one direction only on the
grounds that one symbolism which, seems best, in our opinion. On the con­
trary, the decisive clue for the true birth time should be derived from
analyzing... a number of events, and finding a certain number of
characteristic directions, which result in the same radical RAMC and
which, by reverse computation, gives the true time.
While particularities will be explained during and after the rectifica­
tion process, the reader should observe that exact basic dates are of vital
importance in order to narrow down the orbs of the directions. Also, first-
rate: exact coordinates (geographical latitude and longitude) improve the ac­
curacy. The reader must be aware that theoretically the best maximum orb
is about 2,5 minutes of arc, while inaccuracies in the coordinates, mainly if
average figures of large cities arc used, may extend to orbs up to 6 minutes
of arc for MC and over 10 minutes of arc for Ascendant directions.
As an example, we have chosen the natal chart of John Lennon who,
during his comparatively short life span, achieved the highest possible
popularity throughout the world.
Some doubts arise about the true birth time of John Lennon. There
appear at least three versions in astrological textbooks, in bibliographies,
and at occasional inquiries, of which 5h30m UT and 17h30m UT come
from sources worthy of belief.
It would appear that the great fame plus the Lennon personality,
would render it easy to choose the possibly correct birth time, through the
delineation of his character, and the attempt to explain the major events in
T-

his life, especially his tragic death at the age of 40. However, neither the
morning nor the evening version is impressive enough to explain the life of
this indeed extraordinary man.
The chart for the morning, 5h30m UT has very impressive
angularities, i.e., Pluto on MC in opposition to the Moon on the IC, and
Sun on the Ascendant; with most planets above the horizon. This is
perhaps the reason why some authors decided to choose it. However,
besides all the characteristics which could speak for this version, the Moon
very low in the chart on the IC, and also in tropical Capricorn, does not fit
in the destiny of this man who reached such colossal fame.
The evening version, 17h30m UT impresses one by the very close
Moon-Pluto opposition, with the Moon now in Aquarius. A further
characteristic is the Sun close to the Descendant. Experience shows that,
especially in cases where the birth time is doubtful, a reliable rectification
must be regarded as the only way to guarantee a true natal chart.
Now let us examine the chart for October 9, 1940, 17h30m UT;

We have now to make the decision whether to analyze more events in
the same way, or to be satisfied with this result and make a computation
with this RAMC = 276° 15’ for all available events, including the in­
terplanetary directions.

10
 In our case, we had only one common RAMC which appeared in all
events, therefore some more events with directed angles could neither
change our result nor inspire us to reject this preliminary result. I have to
emphasize that results like these are very encouraging. The selected RAMC
of 276° 15’ not only shows directions with a characteristic symbolism, but
their RAMC’s ranging between 276° 14’ and 276°20’ have small orbs, one to
another. The arithmetical average of these RAMCls (276° 15’ + 276° 15’ +
276°20’ +~27g^20’ -h 276°14’) giveTan RAMC of 276° 16.8’.
In view of only these few directions available, there could be, of '
course, a slight change in the final result. We have to establish the birth
time which corresponds to the RAMC achieved in our preliminary rectifica­
tion.

THE COMPUTATION OF INTERPLANETARY

PRIMARY DIRECTIONS
•>

Computation of primary directions is based on the same principles as

the demonstrated directions, where the directed factors have been an angle
or a house cusp. While programs available for TEXAS INSTRUMENTS
TI 59 and PET 32K enable one to compute a complete set of directions for
any event (date), computation in the conventional manner requires the use
of RA-tables.
The following characteristics of primary directions may help the
reader to choose the correct directions by guessing the approximate po^-
tiong of houses, or planets, in respect to The arc of direction, which depends
on the time (in days) passed between birth and the event (d^ate). The speed
of MC directions at any point of the zodiac is nearly constant, i.e., about
one degree per year, in contradistinction to the factors (Ascendant, houses,
planets) which are handled via Oblique Ascension (OA) or Oblique Descen-
sion (OD) and the JPolejQghi).
Mosfr^ders will notice that when taking the northern hemisphere as a
base: A■
la) The Ascendant moves very fast in the zodiacal signs Aquarius to
Taurus and .
J -Vj f.
2a) slow in Leo to Scorpio.
The same applies to all factors which have an Oblique Ascension
(OA). These are, besides the Ascendant, all houses and planets which are
on the east side (quadrant I and 11) of the horoscope. For planets on the
west side of the horoscope, which have an Oblique Descension (OD), the
rule of slow and fast movement must be reversed.
lb) Planets with Oblique Descension move slowly in Aquarius to
Taurus.
2b) Planets with Oblique Descension move fast in Leo to Scorpio.
For southern latitudes, rules la, 2a, lb, and 2b have to be reversed.
Slow signs become fast; fast signs become slow (see Formulae, Appendix).
Chapter 5. 1

INTERPRETATION METHOD
FOR PRIMARY DIRECTIONS
•>
This is based on:
1. The significance of the radical angles and planets.
2. The pure symbolism of the planets.
3. The house position of both the radical and the directed planets.
3a. The house position of the directed angle or House cusp.
Rulcrship for planets is under consideration. Although no fixed rules
have yet been established, it does seem obvious that luminaries and planets
sympathize with corresponding signs of the tropical zodiac. However, the
disposition of the signs for the luminaries and planets established by the an-
cients is definitely wrong. In the meantime, three additional planets have
been found and it isTiarTto understand why some astrologers are still using
a theory that “an old planet rules two signs”. First, we need to realize that
the sign position of a planet is not an individual characteristic of the radix.
Secondly, we must prove the existence of the 12 signs in one of the two
zodiacs. In the writer’s opinion, the Iropical zodiac is valid for radix inter-
pretation. The characteristic positions of the Ascendant and the Sun in
radices of individuals are very obvious regarding their character and their
appearance.
Transits and jxenatal transits give full scientific proofs for the validity
of the tropical zodiac, when reflecting events with aspects to the radix.
Here especially, Uranus matures almost orblessly, if the tropical measure­
ment is applied. Large orbs (according to the age of the native), however,
appear throughout if the sidereal measurement is applied. Other even more
convincing proofs are MDO relations between relatives and friends, which
in the overwhelming number of cases have orbs under_4 minutes of arc.
(MDO’s of different kind are explained in this book.)
The author is quite sure that most traditional interpretation methods
of directions are very far removed from what was intended by their
originators. The most unfortunate error in this respect is that all these
traditional rules adulterated the true signficance, i.e., the pure symbolism
of the planets. Astrologers tried (and some are still trying) to prove that a
 native died because the “ruler or subruler” of the radical Ascendant was
chiefly involved in directions and transits. In fact, the ruler ot the Ascen­
dant, if a benefic like Venus and Jupiter, may cause certain illnesses, but
they can never be the chief causes of death. Astrologers with much ex­
perience in the Transit System (transits, prenatal transits and the cor­
responding cycles) will agree that in cases of death, the planets Mars,
Saturn, Neptune, and P]uto appear in traditional aspects to the radix and
-'^"~ir?^iidpoints^' The same principles may be observed when dealing with
primary directions. My own experience shows that the best characteristic of
a planet is its pure symbolism. For instance, when dealing with primary
directions for a birth, suitable planets such as Venus for a girl and Mars for
a boy have to be chosen. On the other hand, Saturn directed to the cusp of
the fifth house does not promise the birth of a child evdn if it (Saturn) is in
a good cosmic condition and “the so-called ruler of the fifth house”.
The traditional significator-promissor theory says that the directed •
house, or planet, should be the significator, telling us with whom or with
what anything will happen, whilst the promissor, a radical position of an
• angle, house cusp or planet, demonstrates what actually should happen.
This firm rule, if fully effective, would make the interpretation of direc­
tions easy, but unfortunately in practice it does not work either, as events
especially major ones are shown by several primary direc^ons. J dpubt
whether the originators of the significator-promissor theory nad it in mind
to make every directed factor a significator.
In my experience, the character of a significator is best suited to the
angles and house cusps, regardless of whether they are directed or radical
factors. I am categorically against any rule which says: “The significator
tells us with whom or with what something could happen.” Instead, any
direction should be evaluated together with other directions which mature
at the same time. For instance, a surgical operation may be reflected by
either a directed Ascendant to Mars, or by a directed Mars, to the Ascen­
dant. Angles and house cusps represent certain spheres of life of the native,
whether radical or directed. Therefore, they should be treated as a kind of
significator regardless of whether they are the directed, or the fixed
(radical), part of the direction.
Time periods where a large number of primary directions mature are
predestinated for major events. As demonstrated in the examples of this
book, the main characteristics of an event are to be found in those direc­
tions where one factor is a house cusp, or an angle, and further information
for such an event is to be found in the interplanetary directions that mature
within the same time limit (orb).
In general, the most important points in evaluating a direction are:
a) The general significance of an angle or house cusp.
 b) The true (pure) symbolism of the planet involved
c) Secondly, the house position of the planet involved might be of
some importance (r^cal and directed).
d) The house positions of the planets (both radical and directed) are
of greater importance, if we have to deal with interplanetary direc­
tions (both factors being luminaries, planets, or the mean node).
For instance: the typical interplanetary direction for any kind of a
“fall” (accident) is Mars/Satum.
In George V’s radix, the significant direction for his “fall from the
horse” is: Sa^rn converse conjunct Mars radix. The Conjunction takes
place near the sixth cusp and fully justifies the character of the event.
In general, the position of the radical factor, or the aspect point to
which it has been directed, gives the main indication for the outcome of an
event. This is also very clearly shown in events which are reflected by a
directed angle to the conjunction of a house cusp, or vice versa.
George V’s voyage to India (November II, 1911, not reproduced) is ’
reflected by the directiori ASC direct conjunct III radix. Experience
shows that these “bodiless directions” do not necessarily need a mediate in­
terference of planets in the primary directional system. Here, only conjunc­
tions of angles with house cusps, or vice versa, are valid.
As explained before, the main significators, or indicators, showing in
which sphere of life something may be going to happen are the angles and
house cusps of the radix. As all cusps, including the MC and the ASC can
undoubtably be associated with certain events, house cusp directions have
the advantage of limiting the number of possible events to those few which
are determined by the cusp and the opposite cusp involved.
The houses which oppose each other are of opposite character and,
therefore, it is sometimes difficult to judge the outcome of an event via
house directions, because the two opposite houses simultaneously form
aspects, if directed. Only in cases of conjunctions or oppositions may we
say that: In an overwhelmingly number of cases, events are produced with
characteristics of the cusp which conjoins the planet. For example: V
directed conjunct Venus radix would reflect the birth of a girl, rather than
an event resulting from XI direct opposite Venus rad_ix_(which is, of course,
the same direction) and involves female friends.
All aspects, other than conjunctions (oppositions), where angles or
house cusps are involved, give us no occasion to guess which house may in­
dicate, or reflect, a forthcoming event unless by speculation in other
astrological systems, or by observing the pattern of the radix. These con­
siderations and logical rules also have to be applied if, not the cusp, but a
planet, is the directed factor.
 r ■
As a matter of principle, the author dogs JiQt pay much attention to so
called “house rulers”, but interprets a direction by the significance of the
house and the ^ure symbolism of the planet involved.
One of the most dangerous habits in astrology is the concentration on
the rulership of a planet and the neglect of the true symbolism. Tradition
teaches that the ruler of the Ascendant, as well as the ruler of VIII, or
planets in I and VIII are responsible for the death of a native. Suppose
there are no planets in these houses and Jupiter rules the Ascendant, while
Venus rules the eighth house cusp. According to tradition, both planets
should be decisively involved in the native’s death, in directions as well as
transits. Examples of this kind had been given by astrologers mainly in the
Middle Ages, but nothing is further from the truth. In my experience (and
this has already been explained by the given rules), ‘any interpretation of
planets involved in directions, transits, orcycles should be performed by
M the true symbolism of the planets.
/ Death for instance may occur if, in all valid astrological systems,
analyzed planets appear with detrimental and vitality reducing planets. If a
native dies in course of a neck operation, the most characteristic factors for
the event should be afflictions by Mars, Saturn, Neptune, or Plmo and less
importantly by Venus and the sign Taurus (neck).

RULES FOR THE USE OF PRIMARY DIRECTIONS

IN THE TOPOCENTRIC SYSTEM

The considerably large number of rectified radices analyzed in this

book have been published mainly for two reasons. First, to give full proof
for a scientifically undoubtable piethod which also fully satisfies contem­
porary demands with regard to astrological and mathematical considera­
tions (symbolism, orb, and statistics).
In contradistinction to many other directional systems, these primary
directions of the highest efficacy^use only traditional aspects such as: con­
junctions, oppositions, squares, trines, semisquaresr~se^uiquadrates,
semisextiles, and quincunxes. Secondly,to give the reader the possibility to
associate himself with true directions and with their remarkable similarity
in all radices concerning symbolism of planets, angles and houses, mainly
those events in the lives of individuals which give the reader an indication
of what kind of directions are suitable for corresponding eyents have been
^published. Of course, some of the radices, their events and directions have
been published in full without any omissions. Those radices which have a
reduced number of events include indications of how many events were
originally available for the performed analyses.
The following rules, which are based on long experience, may help the
reader to secure true and solid astrological work:
la) Try to get as many major events in the life of a native as possible.
lb) Inquire about the reliability of the given dates, such as: well
established coordinates, zones, and standard times, which
without any doubts can be reduced to the Universal Time of
birth. Dates given only to a month have to be treated with special
care. All dates which are not accurately remembered to a day are
insecure. “One thinks it happened in July, however it actually
'Tr^p^pened in May or August”. If events are given to a month, use
the fifteenth day of the month as the base for the directional arc.
This helps to keep the orb small in those cases where the indica­
tion “to the month” was correct.

I 1
 2) The rule to accept only results with small orbs has priority over all
other considerations. ' “
3) The primary directions which were accepted as the true ones
should fulfill the following conditions:_
a) Small orbs (maximum 4 minutes'oFafc)/
b) A satisfactory and acceptable symbolism of the planets and a
secure handling of the house cusp^ radical and directional. At
least one factor of the direction — a planet, an angle or a
house cusp — should be quite characteristic of the event.
EXAMPLE: Birth of a son.
The following combinations are acceptable, especially if the cir­
cumstances of the event are not known:
ASC trine Mars; ASC conjunct, opposite, or trine Sun; and vice
versa. Further combinations of the fifth house cusp with Sun or
Mars.
In special cases Jupiter may be involved (especially in the
radices of females). Uranus may indicate a premature birth.
Aspects of tension, such as squares, semisquares and sesqui-
quadrates are only acceptable if the birth took place under dif­
ficult conditions, this mainly concerns the mother. V square
Mars, and vice versa, may result in a birth with surgical in-
terference.
Uncertain rectifications, the cause of which in most cases be­
ing a limited number of events, have to be checked by other
methods described in the writer’s publications.
4) Allowances in the orbs of directions can only be made if we have
to deal with conjunctions. Here mainly planets with a high devia­
__ tion tion the ecliptic

—~ >minutes of arc. No niathematical, or astronomical, answer to
eliminate this deviation has yet been found. Ho’’ '*ver, the Sun,
too, whether radical or directed, appears in conjunctions which
show these large orbs. A conclusion (but so far no statement) can
be made that Sun and Moon have an apparent diameter of....
around 30 degrees of arc, in contradistinction to planets which
are only an apparent point in the sky. This conclusion is sup­
ported by the fact that Pars Fortuna, having no latitude either
whether appearing as a radical or directed factor, always matures
within the usual theoretical orb of 2.5 minutes of arc.
—Primary directions in conjunctions with orbs larger than 4 minutes of
should never be used for the actual proof of a true rectific<Uion. Instead
 conjunctions of primary directions with large orbs may be associated with
events only after the true RAMC, and consequently the true birth time, has
been authenticated.
Pars Fortuna (Longitude of Moon plus Longitude of ASC minus
Longitude of Sun) is only efficient in conjunctions (and perhaps opposi­
tions). So far no other effective aspects in directions with Pars Fortuna
have been found.
The theoretical orb of the primary directions has been located as 2.5
minutes ofarcj^ which corresponds to half a Moon circuit, orfl4~day^ This
has become a statement, as primary directions are often activated by luna­
tions^ (For the working of lunations, please see Prediction}. The writer has
called this orb a theoretical one, as in most cases it is impossible to get birth
coordinates which are correct within seconds of arc. Beside other possible
small errors, basic figures of plahets without the necessary accuracy, i.e.,
within a few seconds of arc, also enlarge the orb of maturing directions.
How large the errors may be, is shown in the following example: When
analyzing the chart of a friend regarding the death of his wife, besides an
almost exact maturation of Dragon’s Tail directly square Venus radix, there
appeared a trine of the converse directed Ascendant to Jupiter radjx with
an orb of 8 minutes of arc. This direction has to be regarded as directly con­
nected with the event for two reasons:
a) The death of his wife was a release for both of them, as for two
years she had suffered from bone cancer.
b) A considerable inheritance consisting of real estate and money
was awaiting him.
Going further into this matter it was soon realized that the coordinates
of Leningrad, his birthplace, had not been properly fixed. Instead a tabular
value for the center of the city had been used for the rectification made ten
years previously. As the directed Ascendant was in a quick moving sign and
Leningrad has a considerably high northern latitude (60°), already, 3
i minutes of arc in north latitude affected the directed Ascendant by an error
_^'^r6~imnutgs~or arc. It was then considered that the actual birth place
should be around 4 minutes of arc further south from the center of the city.
In fact, this assumption, found with the aid of the direction Ascendant
converse trine Jupiter radix and some other directions for previous events,
I was affirmed when later on a map of Leningrad, the true birth place was
located as 3 minutes of arc further south than that originally used. This
demonstrates possible discrepancies in the positions of coordinates.
However, the reader should not be discouraged if he is not able to get birth
1 coordinates within the required precision. In many cases, the writer had to
use approximate birth coordinates, especially where large cities were in­
volved. It is to say that radices with a large number of events always give an
astonishingly accurate RAMC as:
a) Directions with and to the MC are not affected by inaccurate
birth coordinates.
b) The arithmetic mean of all the directions gives almost exact
results in RAMC throughout.
However, the error will be evident from enlarged orbs, especially if the
Ascendant, house cusps, or planets with a large pole (phi) are involved. As
well as this, the achieved rectified birth time will be in error by a few
seconds of time.
The art of rectification depends on a fair combined judgment of all the
necessary and existing factors. Neither a pedantic, nor a too generous, at­
titude toward this difficult task is opportune. It is ^so of great importance
to get as many details, i.e., circumstances of an event, as possible. The
above demonstrated direction Ascendant converse trine Jupiter radix in­
volved in the death of a relative (wife) may be regarded as an appropriate
example.
A rectification is doubtful if:
a) Too many events are not reflected by suitable directions.
b) There are insufficient directions with major aspects (conjunction,
opposition, square, or trine) for major events with admissible
orbs.

HOW EVENTS ARE REFLECTED

BY PRIMARY DIRECTIONS
•>
Accidents
Ascendant with Mars and Uranus. Fall = Mars/Satum = Severe Inju­
ries (Pain) Satum/Uranus. '
Amputations (surgical)
Ascendant, Mars, Pluto, Saturn.
Arrest (Imprisonment)
The twelfth house cusp (or ASC); with Uranus,sudden; with Saturn,
long-lasting.
Birth of Brothers and Sisters
Here the third house cusp and sometimes the IC are involved. Mercury
for brothers and Venus for sisters are frequent.
Birth of Children
Especially in the horoscope of the mother, this is a very suitable event__
for rectification. Girls are symbolized by Venus (secdnH'arily by the Moon).
Boys by Sup or Mars. Thefifth house cusp appears very frequently in
births, both in the^Koroscopes of the father and the mother. The Ascendant
is the most frequent^ anThe actual "planetary combination foFa birth is
^ars/Jupiter (also in transits). Unexpected birth (premature) with Uranus.
Called up for Military Service
MCw ASC with Mars and planets according to the circumstances of
the event'. If under bad (especially psychological) conditions, the participa­
tion of the twelfth cusp and (or) Saturn is frequent.
Ekath of Brothers and Sisters
The third house cusp in bad aspects to malefics and sometimes to Mer­
cury or Venu^. Instead of the third house cusp, the IC might be involved.
'Ciisp Vnr appears in connection with inheritances and other events con­
nected with death.
Death of Children
The fifth house cusp with Mars, Saturn, Neptune, or Pluto according
to the circumstances of the event. ForTnifance: with Mars, killed in war,
after and operation, etc.; with Neptune, drowned. Sometimes the Ascen­
dant (psychological effect) or the IC (domestic affairs) may be involved.
Death of Husband Ji
In horoscopes of females: Descendant or MC mainly with Saturn or
with the Sun. Other planets involved characterize the circumstances of the
event. ,
In horoscopes of males: DESC and IC preferably in bad aspects with
Saturn, with the Moon and (seldom) with Venus.
Valid for females and males: Saturn symbolized* “mourning” and “death
after long illness.” Uranus symbolizes an unexpected, i.e., sudden death.
Neptune is “under unidentified circumstances” or “drowned.”
Death of the Native Himself
It usually consists of various circumstances and causes. It is, therefore,
very difficult to give general specifications. Old-aged people often die with
an angle conjunct or square Sun. The most frequent planet indicating the
death of a native is Pluto. More obvious is Pluto’s relationship to death
when dealing with transits and especially prenatal transits. The fact that the
eighth house cusp never appears in primary directions, when the death of a
native is involved, consolidates the assumption that the significance of the
eighth house cannot simply be explained with the word “death”. It rather
symbolizes matters which are associated with the death of an individual,
but not with the cause of death. The most frequent events with the eighth
house cusp are inheritances, successions and honors received after the
death of an individual.
Young and middle-aged people mostly die when thejadjcal Ascendant
is afflicted. Death at the stage of senility occurs in most cases wHenTEFlC is
afflicted mainly by Sun or Saturn.
Death of Parents
MC for the father; IC for the mother. Saturn and Sun for the father;
Moon and Venus for the mother. Naturally, other cusps and planets may
be involved, according to the circumstances of the event. The Ascendant
with Saturn is frequent (for both the death of the father or the
mother),symbolizing mourning and great grief.
Death Sentence
Ascendant in Jupiter and Saturn combinations. Further afflictions of
Jupiter by Saturn (death by jurisdiction).
Execution (death): The ASC with Pluto and (or) Mars. Combinations with
malefics.
 Decoration
MC or (ASC) with Jupiter, Sun, or Moon, Honors after death: the
eighth house cusp mainly "with Jupiter.
Defloration
The fifth house cusp, or the Ascendant, with Mars or Pluto. In­
terplanetary directions: Mars/Venus or Pluto/Venus.

tune.
Divorce
The separation which in most cases precedes a divorce is characterized
by the Descendant (ASC) with Mars, and (or) Uranus if sudden. A frequent
direction for a divorce is: Descendant (ASC) in any aspect to Jupiter (law,
court).

often appear in the native's chart if he is killed by matters from outside (accidents, assassina­
tions). In J.F. Kennedy’s chart (see Figure li), the killing and the killer arc symbolized by_Nep-
June transiting opposite VIII radix. This may signify the circumstances of the event (ambush);
the killer; and perhaps the fact that the death of J.F.K. remained a mystery.

GENEALOGICAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN

RELATIVES AND CONTACTS TO PEOPLE
IN THE NATIVE’S SURROUNDINGS

The discovery that, in synaslry there arc other connections between the
horoscopes of people than ecliptical aspects, is one of the greatest
achievements in recent astrological research. Nelson Page and Vendel
Polich have proven an astrolpgical phenomenon which may be regarded as
the most important advance in analytical and _practical astrology. They
found that, without doubt, very accurate and striking genealogical connec­
tions exist between parents and their children, and that these characteristics
can even be observed through several generations.
In the meantime, the writer’s research over several years revealed that
this phenomenon can be extended to all people having a close relationship.
As the first example, we have chosen the horoscopes of all British
monarchs and presumable successors from Queen Victoria to the recently
born Prince William, son of Prince Charles and Lady Diana (Figures
2 through 9).
As we will demonstrate, there exist identical and (or) similar meridian
■ distances between children, their parents, and, to a lesser extend other
family members. In our rectification we have already computed meridian
distances in order to get the Poles and Oblique Ascensions (Descensions)
for primary directions. However, these meridian distances had been
calculated with Topocentric Poles that are only valid for the Cone which is
directly related to the coordinates of the birth place. These meridian
distances (MD’s) should nQLb.£. mistaken for the meridian distances which
hav.e to be used in order to compare the birth charts of people who, in the
overwhelming majority, have a different birth place. This problem has
been masterfully solved by Page and Polich in finding meridian distances
which fit the necessary conditions, i.e., relate to any location in the world.
As we all know, our common transits are bound to their ecliptical
positions in the sky. The position of any planet for a certain date and time
is fixed to the ecliptic (apparent passage of the Sun) and is identical for the
horoscopes of any person, staje, or place in the world. Of course, in­
dividual differences arise if we relate these planetary positions to the dif-
 J
M 1". n

ferent birth charts analyzed.

In opposition to these ecliptical planetary positions of common tran-
—^sits are the ascensional positions, or MDO^, of the very same planets as
they depend on the location of the native at the time of the transiting
planets analyzed. ____________________
The MDO is a stereometri^i^eridian distance in Oblique Ascension\(or
Descension) to the upper or lower mendiaiT(RAMC, lUMC). Planets above
the horizon in the first or fourth quadrant of the horoscope are related to
the RAMC, planets below the horizon (second and third quadrant) to the
RAIC. An MDO exactly on the RAMC (Local Sidereal Time) or the RAIC
(Local Sidereal Time plus 12 hours) is zero and increases when advancing
the Ascendant from the RAMC or the Descendant from the RAIC. It is 90
degrees (a) on the Ascendant and (b) on the Descendant and is decreasing
towards (a) the RAIC and (b) the RAMC. The increase or decrease of the
MDO’s is mainly dependent upon the quick constant movement of the
RAMC in Sidereal Time. (4 minutes = 1 degree; 24 hours = 360 degrees).
Fortunately these MDO’s do not need much computation, as most of
• the values needed will already be achieved when computing the speculum
for primary directions.
The formula for calculating these MDO’s consists of:
1. The meridian distance (MD, see speculum in the Appendix).
2. The semi-arc (SA, see speculum in the Appendix).
3. 90 degrees (the real perpendicular distance of RAMC - OA Ascen­
dant; Ascendant - RAIC; RAIC - Descendant; Descendant
-RAMC).

dent Jimmy Carter.

// O
will b^noticed, Reagan’s Moon is in th(>iVquadrant and Carter’s
Sun in theril'^uadrant. We have here an MDO opposition.
Experience shows that analyses on rectified charts, as demonstrated,
tend to results which have very small orbs or, when measured to minutes of
arc, no orbs at all. The writer agrees that there might be a general solution
for elirninating these orbs. This problem also arises when using MDO’s for
events in -an astrological system which will be discussed later. Needless to
say, chart comparisons like Reagan and Carter are only useful if properly
rectified horoscopes are available, As will be seen in the following analysis
of genealogical connections we distinguish between:
I. MDO conjunctions (Example of Reagan and Carter, planets of
both natives in the same quadrant, here II)_
2. MDO oppositions (Planets in opposite quadrants:_no to IV)
3. MDO antiscions (Planets in odd quadrants: I-II; II-III; III - IV; IV-
I) ~
The MDO antiscions have to be handled with much care as they occur
very frequently, i.e., 2 on the zodiac in between of one circuit of the earth
24 hours or 360 degrees. For each planet, there is only 1 point on the
zodiac for conjunctions and 1 point for oppositions.
Analysis of British Monarchs and Their Inherited MDO’s:
According to a careful analysis of the writer’s family horoscopes it
became obvious that these inherited MDO’s, in an overwhelming number
of cases, characterize the relationship between both family members. As
the true relationship between members of the British royal family seldom
appear in Bibliographies it is difficult (and doubtful) to explain most of the
MDO aspects demonstrated here. However, it is well-known that Edward
VII (see Figure 3) exercised a strong authority over George V, (see Figure
j 4). This had a negative influence on George V’s psychological development.
Father’s Jupiter MDO Neptune Son
Saturn MDO Moon__ (yery unfortunate}

MDO’s of this kind also reflect the relationship between other people,
may they be relatives, friends or opponents. Of course, the ecliptical
aspects, as they are used in synastry, should never be neglected.

Genealogical Connections Measured on the Ecliptic:

There are, of course, also ecliptical genealogical connections between
relatives in direct line such as this very impressive repetition in zero Taurus:
George VI Ascendant 0° Scorpio IT
Elizabeth II Sun 0° Taurus IT
Prince Charles Moon 0° Taurus 26’
Prince William Jupiter 0° Scorpio 29’
Analyses of this kind are particulary useful if the angles appear in an
almost exact conjunction, or opposition, to planets of the other chart.
The opposition of Elizabeth H’s Sun (0° Taurus IT) to her father’s
Descendant (0° Scorpio 11 ’) could not possibly be a mere matter of chance.
On the contrary, this orbless conjunction is one of the most excellent
proofs for the precise rectification of George VTs birth chart (see Figured), y
Here is another phenomenon, which in this case not only proves the
rectification of one chart, but which is a reciprocal guarantee for two well
authenticated birth limes. This happens to be in the charts of Elizabeth II
(see Figure 7) and Prince Charles (Figure 8). Her Ascendant (13°Capricorn
23’) is conjunct her son’s Pars Fortuna (13° Capricorn I}'} within 2 minutes
of arc. Needless to say, Pars Fortuna is always highly dependent on the true
birth time, as arc the angles. Experience proves that analyses like these
should only be exercised aftef the radices have been rectified wjth primary
directions (see Figure 8). The above'demonstrated phenomena are, besides
other methods, especially the genealogical MDO’s, an additional proof,
and of course, a satisfying and delightful experience for every astrologer.

MDO’S OF A SECOND POTENCY - AN

ASTROLOGICAL TREASURE
•>
Of striking effect in the field of MDO’s are also what the writer has
named as: “MDO’s of second potency.”

We have here (a) a conjunction of Saturn (father)

to Pluto (son) Orb 17’
and with the very same planetary combination:
(b) a MDO opposition Orb 4’

The reflection on the father-son relationship was, and still is, an ex­
tremely positive one. What nowadays is of great rarity: the son (Pluto) not
only respects the father (Saturn), but up to now takes the father’s advice in
all kinds of matters. This example shows that Saturn symbolizes the father,
while Pluto (son) follows him. Both planets are in close angularity (Saturn
ascending; Pluto descending), aspecting each other from the first to the
seventh house (partnership). No doubt such angularity of both planets in­
creases the effectiveness of this “Aspect of Second Potency” considerably.

No wonder such a relationship lasts a lifetime. Although both friends

succeeded in visiting each other several times.

ASCENSIONAL TRANSITS (MDO’S)

These phenomena have the very same astronomical and astrological

background as the MDO’s demonstrated in Chapter 9, “Genealogical Con­
nections and Contacts to People in the Native’s Surroundings.”
MDO’s applied here as transits are effective for any happenings, may
they be only minor physical, mental, or emotional experiences, such as:
phone calls, receiving letters,, meeting friends, etc. These MDO’s, too, can
only be handled successfully if the analyzed birth chart has undergone a
satisfactory rectification as demonstrated with primary directions.
Statements that with the aid of MDO-graphs the materialization of events
can be predicted within seconds of time, thus realizing events which had
been indicated by primary directions, had been.far too optimistic.
Rectifications with these MDO’s are possible. However, experience
shows that in practice one may come to fictional results, especially if only a
small number of events have been analyzed. On the other hand, much prac­
tice is needed with MDO’s in analytical astrology before they can be applied
.for predictive purposes, „----- .
The writer has worked on over 'J500 events, rnost of which he ex­
perienced in his own radix and in the radix of his wife. A good deal of the
events analyzed were experienced in common. An accurately timed event
experienced, or suffered, together gives excellent proofs:
a) For well authenticated birth times of both partners
b) For the basic figures used in this computation, such as: coor­
dinates (radix and transit); MDO’s (radix and transits), and of
course, proofs are obtained that the event had been accurately tim­
ed within a few seconds of time.
A detailed description, mainly useful for astrologers with solid
knowledge of the mechanics in the heavens, are to be found in an English
edition of Vendel Polich’s The Topocentric System, Editorial Regulus,
Buenos Aires. '-------- " ~

The writer restricted himself to easily understandable explanations

and, of course, to a detailed description of the computation process, while
the MDO computations are identical with those described in the chapter,
■ “Genealogical Connections."
EXAMPLE: The writer’s birth chart is given in Figure 16.

Pluto 21 ° Libra 59’ opposition ... .Sun radix 27.

The reader will notice that the transits for the date and time of the
event are very characteristic for an accident. The aspects where Mars and
Uranus are involved especially deserve a close examination. Bui the afflic­
tions of the radical Ascendant by the fast Moon are also characteristic, and
may be regarded as a support of the rectification.
We now have to find the corresponding MDO positions of the transits
which suit the event. We have already learned that MDO’s (meridian
distances in Oblique Ascension or Dcscension) are valid as;
 a) Conjunctions with radical MDO’s (identical quadrants of both the
radical and transiting planets).
b) Oppositions with, radical MDO’s (these in opposite quadrants 1 to
III; 11 to IV, and vice versa).
c) Antiscions with radical MDO’s (these in odd quadrants I to II; II
to III; III lo IV; IV- to I. and vice versa).

The result:

Another planet which could give a MDO aspect is transiting Pluto. We
compute its RA, MD, AD, SA, and the MDO as above.
The result:
MDO Pluto transit 24°Q6’ I opposition MDO Node radix 26°06’ III.

According to my research, MDO aspects with orbs like this (2 degrees)

cannot possibly activate the outcome of an event or psychological ex­
perience. Besides this, we can observe that Pluto MDO 24°06’ is decreasing,
i.e., enlarging the orb to Node radix MDO 26°09'. In the transit system,
MDO’s in the first and third quadrant are decreasing, while they advance in
the second and fourth quadrant (Please see general rules below).
MDO aspects of transits to radical MDO’s, the orbs of which increase
while the RAMC advances, are of no use because psychological experiences
which may follow the event will never be reached by any decreasing MDO
factor.
It is the opposite with transiting MDO’s in the second and fourth
quadrants, where large orbs diminish to zero and the maturation of these
MDO’s might be connected with the event or with happenings which result
from the event.
Another MDO in a very close aspect to a radical factor is:
Descending Node MDO4I°44’ IV quadrant
Moon radix MDO 41°43’ II quadrant
NodelransTT MDO opposition Moon radix MDO, orb = 1 minute of arc
(4 seconds in time)

MDO’s (ascensional transits) Measured on the Fixed Heaven of the Sphere.

While all factors of the transit system, such as: common transits,
tropical and sidereal solar returns as well as sidereal lunar returns, when ap­
plied to the radix (aspects) have to be measured in the tropical zodiac (solar
system). Ascensional transits (MDO’s) obviously work in a personal as well
as superpersonal way?
In our event ’accident” (narrow escape), common transits and Ascen­
sional transits (MDO’s) have been demonstrated in aspects to radix factors
maturing almost exact or with very small orbs in the tropical measurement.
However, analyses on over 15(MLeyentj> showed that Ascensional transits
with large orbs appear which, according to their symbolism, obviously took
part in the realization of events.
These Ascensional transits always appeared with orbs which had been
a little less than the amount of precession which depends on the age of the
native. A careful analysis on a statistical basis revealed that the following
astronomical considerations give almost exact or the most possible narrow
results.
There are three main time systems (see Appendix);
Ephemeris Time for the computation of planets
Universal Time for the computation of the RAMC, angles, and house
cusps
Sidereal Time for the computation of the RAMC, angles, and house
Icusps
Those Ascensional Transits which neither follow the Universal Time,
nor can be associated with the tropical measurement (solar system) are
based on:
a) Precession related to the movement of our whole solar system
through the heavens.
b) On the constant and uniform EPHEMERIS TIME.
 In our example “accident,” we notice that Jupiter transiting has an
MDO of 0°46’ in thejirst quadrant. This indicates that Jupiter is close to
the RAMC, and according to our rule Jupiter is decreasing.
We establish the Orb: RAMC 180° 16’
RA Jupiter 181 °02’
difference 46’
We transfer the RAMC
a) To the sidereal system (movement of the solar system) and
b) We establish the difference between the Ephemeris Time of the
birth and event. >
a) Age 62 years gives a precession of (Tables, Appendix) = 52
minutes of arc.
b) delta t 1919 + 20 seconds
dellat 1981 + 52seconds (Tables, Appends)
------------
difference + 32 seconds (divided by 4) = 8 minutes of arc •

The results of our analysis of our example “accident” are summarized as
follows:
ECLIPTICAL ASPECTS:

Uranus transit quincunx Mars rad exact *
Moon transit semisquare ASC rad
Pluto transit opposite Sun rad
Jupiter transit quincunx Uranus rad exact * *

ASCENSIONAL ASPECTS:
(MDO’s or A.T.’s)
* MDO Moon transit opposite Uranus rad 2’
** MDO Jupiter transit conjunct RAMC transit 2’
(Precession minus ET difference)
Interpretation:
Moon opposite Uranus symbolizes the psychological effect of the
event and materializes the ecliptical aspects Moon semisquare Ascendant I
I
and Uranus quincunx Mars. Pluto opposite Sun characterizes the dispute^
which followed on the spot between the writer and the other driver involv­
ed. Jupiter conjunct MC (RAMC) symbolizes the lucky escape which has
its parallel in the ecliptical aspect (common transit) Jupiter quincunx
Uranus (exact to 1 minute of arc). This example consolidates the writer’s
statements in his previous publications that:
a) Uranus is a neutral planet (by no means a malefic).
b) Uranus appearance with Jupiter, beside others, shows lucky
escapes which may be expressed as a “Thank God” aspect.
This event also proves that ecliptical (common) transits have to be us­
ed in the tropical zodiac while the application of the sidereal zodiac
(measurement) increases the orbs of the aspects considerably.
Originally it has been maintained that the materialization of major and
minor events by Ascensional transits is only possible if similar ecliptical
aspects (common transits) with identical planets are present. This can be
disproved by the large number of cases analyzed. On the other hand, sim­
ple logical considerations forbid expectations of two identical aspectations
(ecliptical and ascensional) for any minor event or psychological ex­
periences with the very same planets involved.
Our example had an unusual number of narrow ecliptical aspects.
However, for minor events there are cases where no obviously impressive
ecliptical aspects could back up the Ascensional transits, which never fail to
reflect minor events and psychological experiences.

EVALUATION OF ASCENSIONAL TRANSITS

WITH PRENATAL TRANSITS

Prenatal transits had been demonstrated in the writer’s book, Predic­

tion Using Common and Prenatal Cycles. Here is a summarized descrip­
tion: I
The writer’s experience over the past 25 years has shown that the posi­
tions which the planets pccupy before birth also play an important role
in our lives. These are complementary to the common transit system
and add a further element of individuality_ and versatility to inter­
pretive technique. Experience has shown that these findings have
decisively improved our knowledge of:
A) Synastry,
B) Authentication of the true birth time and
C) The prenatal epoch.
Prenatal (regressions, converses) elements are:
(1) Effective in every correct directional or cyclic system (such as
primary directions and solar returns).
(2) Complementary to the corresponding forward moving directional
systems and common transits.
(3) Equally as effective as the relevant direct maps.
Here is the mathematical expression of a prenatal transit:
Deduct the time which had past between birth and an event in days,
hours, minutes, and eventually seconds from the birth chart.

numbers or in a simpler way (as above) with Day Number Tables published
in Prediction Using Common and Prenatal Cycles.
The necessary planetary positions, as well as all the other elements
needed in transit and MDO computations, will be found on pages 122 and
123. A glance at the computer hard copy of “Road accident (narrow I

escape)” shows the following ecliptical prenatal transits:

CONJUNCTIONS OF TRANSITING PLANETS

WITH ANGLES AND HOUSE CUSPS
OF THE TRANSIT SYSTEM

The reader might have noticed that accurately timed events are
sometimes reflected by planetary cohjunctions with angles computed for
the place jnvolved. We have already given such an example (Jupiter con­
junct MC) in “Road accident (narrow escape)”. As well as these angular
conjunctions, there are also conjunctions of transiting and prenatal tran­
siting pjanets with house cusps of the horoscope. These latter are most im­
pressive because:
a) They confirm the efficacy of Topocentric house cusps and
b) They always have the characteristics of the event analyzed.
As well as others, conjunctions of transiting planets (common and
prenatal) with the fifth or eleventh house cusp are to be found when
meeting friends. The axis III-IX appears (mainly with Mercury) when
receiving letters, having phone calls, etc.
In most cases, these conjunctions with angles or house cusps have an
orb which consists of precession and the difference in Ephemeris Time be­
tween birth and the event of the native’s radix analyzed. (This has been
discussed in the previous chapter).

quadrant IV on cusp VIII
In our case, MDO Jupiter 29‘’48’ III is decreasing (b) and falls on the
fifth house cusp. Here we have a conjunction which is overdue and does
not respond to the rules of the precessional ephemeris meridian. It is an
Ascensional transit with an orb of12 minutes (30-29 48’). Another con­
junction with a cusp found in the prenatal chart is MDO Moon 3O°58’ II
quadrant, according to our rules:
II Quadrant, prenatal = decreasing
II Quadrant, 30 58’ = III cusp

We compute the difference of the precessional ephemeris meridian:

Ephemeris Time, delta t 1919 -1- 20 sec „„ ,, . ...

„ , . J U locr . T (Tables, Appendix)
Ephemens Time, delta t 1856 + 3 sec

Precession = prenatal recession for 63 years = 53 minutes of arc
—53’ recession
+ 4’ difference of the ephemeris meridian
—49’ ephemeris meridian correction with recession
RAMC (prenatal) 62° 06’ 40”

61 ° 17’ 40” RAMC corrected for delta t and recession.
MDO Moon at RAMC 61° 17.7’ = 30° 14’ (not reached — 14; 3rd cusp)
1

Experience shows that MDO’s of planets (transit and prenatal) in con­

junctions with house cusps (transit and prenatal) have much larger orbs
than MDO’s of planets to MDO’s of radical planets.
There are several reasons why MDO’s mature with larger orbs. The
following rules for transiting and prenatal MDO’s may help the reader to
make analyses of this kind:
1. Do not expect more than on^ almost exact MDO for each event an­
alyzed.
2. In most cases, there are valid MDO’s with larger orbs.
a) Analyze those MDO’s with larger orbs which mature after the
time taken (stop watched) of the event.
b) Analyze contacts in the tropical as well as in the adjusted
precessional manner (ephemeris meridian).
3. In order to get the precessional ephemeris meridian we have to:
a) Add the difference to the tropical RAMC for transits and
b) Subtract the difference from the tropical RAMC for prenatal
transits.
4. Bear in mind that:
a) There are in most cases psychological experiences which follow
the accurately timed event.
b) It depends on the character of the event whether it can be fixed
to a certain second of time or not.
As a conclusion to these rules it may be said that it is only opportune
to analyze those MDO’s with larger orbs which have not matured.
This fits for tropical MDO’s with larger orbs in order to compute those
MDO’s with the precessional meridian (as explained, premature tropical
MDO’s may mature exactly when transferred with the precessional meri­
dian).
Or, a premature tropical MDO may mature later (still as a tropical
MDO) for psychological experiences which may follow the actual event.
In our case “Pleasing letter from son’’ wc have one MDO which
matured almost exactly:

MDO Sun transit 51 55 I Q. conjunct MDO Jupiter rad I (orb 1 minute)

k"
 Further: MDO Jupiter transit conjunct V (transit and MDO Moon
prenatal 3058 conjunct cusp III (prenatal)

There are no significant common or prenatal transits in aspects to fac­

tors of the radix, measured on the ecliptic. This is nothing unusual, as
minor events are often materialized by Ascensional transits (our MDO’s)
without being supported by ecliptical aspects of planets in the sky.
Computations like these are making calculators indispensible.
However, the best way to approach all these mathematical problems is the
use of a sophisticated Micro-Processor. As can be seen on the two com­
puter sheets (Road accident, narrow escape, transit and prenatal), all
necessary figures such as longitude, latitude, RA, declination, RAMC,
angles, and cusps are computed and listedjand what is of main importance:
The exact MDO’s (transit and prenatal) are confronted with the constant
radical MDO’s which might have reflected the event.
A list of available programs for Micro-Processors is given in the Ap­
pendix.
Chapter 14

SECONDARY DIRECTIONS

While primary directions, which have been extensively discussed in the

previous chapters, are based on the rotation of the earth, secondary direc­
tions are related to the circuit of the earth around the Sun. Here one day
equals one year of life.
There is, however, disagreement among astrologers as to which
measurement should be applied, since Cyril Fagan maintained that the
traditional computation method of secondary progressions, taking one
common day of 24 hours for one year, is not quite correct.
One day of twenty-four hours measured in Universal Time is, in fact,—'
equivalent to one year plus one day. (Apparent orbit of the Sun plus one
day).
To eliminate this remainder, Fagan subtracts 3 minutes and 55.91
seconds per day, calling this the BIJA.
It was very difficult to get results which undoubtably favor one system
or the other for the following reasons:
( 1. ^he effective orbs of the planets aspecting factors of the radix are
miichjargg' than in the primary directional system. ,
2. Only from a certain age of the native onwards does the difference
between the two measurements become obvious.
3. The slow progressed and regressed planets (Jupiter-Pluto) are
scarcely affected by the time differences of either method.
4. Only a certain number of main events are reflected by significant,
and therefore true, a.spectations.
The writer finally decided in favor of the traditional method, mainly
because of occasional Moon progressions and regressions which mature
astonishingly, accurately.

Computation of Secondarj Progressions and Regressions:

The author does not recornmen^any of the traditional computation
methods, as a ^implc’pocket calculator giverresults which arc exact to
within 2 seconds of time provided that exact basic figures are used.
 The writer does not use the natal quotidians because they have not the
slightest prognostic value. However, it cannot be denied that occasionally
progressed (regressed) and (or) radical planets with the characteristics of
the event appear on the angles of the natal quotidian which should be com­
puted for the place of residence at th^timg_of the event. The orbs of the
angular^pnfhcts shouTd not exceed one degree and have to be measured in
RA (MC, IC) and in OA (OD) on the Ascendant (Descendant).

Parallels of Declination:
Parallels had been widely misused during the last decades and it seems
necessary to draw the reader’s attention to the limitations of these
phenomena if their astronomical characteristics are to be carefully observ­
ed. In contradistinction to the apparent ecliptical movem'ent of the planets,
declination changes very little in one day or one year of life. Therefore, the
application of these parallels is very limited. They actually play a_ certain
role only in^the transit system. -

Antiscions:
Antiscions, which have a certain relationship to parallels of declina­
tion, are effective in the secondary system and should not be neglected.
They are a mirror image of planetary positions and are bound to the eclip­
tical measurement.
Antiscions: Aries - Virgo 180 minus ecl. position
Antiscions: Libra - Pisces 540 minus eel. position
Due to the astronomical structure of antiscions, they are only ap­
plicable in conjunctions and oppositions.
The dominant role, however, in the secondary directional system,
whether progressed or regressed, is played by the directed angles and house
cusps. Analyses over years have produced best results with soly arc in right
ascension.

The Solar Arc in Right-Ascension:

RA solar arc should not be mistaken for the solar arc in eclipto. The
latter has been found to be purely fictional in theory (nonadmissible orbs,
^oo many factors and no astronomical background) and in practice. Tests
on rectified charts with large numbers of events have consolidated these
statements. No wonder that rectifications with this fictional arc and the
large number of factors involved are “successful” for almost every degree
of RAMC around the given birth time.

Orbs of progressed and regressed factors obviously depend on a time

factor. Taking into account the results achieved with Sun, Mercury, Venus,
Mars, and RAMC, an orb of plus or minus 3 months should be admitted.
In cases where several radical, progressed, or regressed factors aspect the
same ecliptical point, larger orbs had been found as effective. In these
cases, maturation may be very accurate if the aspected point is considered
as jlff!3point| bet weenJhe aspecting factors.
''STbv^n^rogressed or regressed planets (Jupiter - Pluto) mature in most
cases within one minute of arc, maximum orb equals four minutes of arc.
Because of their effectiveness, sometimes over years, they hardly permit
any prediction, although their strength and effectiveness dominate over all
the other secondary directions.
In our example, Elizabeth II became Queen when the progressed
Saturn was in square to Jupiter radix.
Hitler’s downfall (see Figure 13) began with the secondary direction
Saturn progressed square Mars radix mature at the time of his first decisive
defeat al Stalingrad (winter of 1942/43). Here, Jean Baptiste Morin’s
(1583-1656) statements that malefics produce the most disastrous events if
in bad cosmic radical conditions (in detriment: conjunct or in aspect of ten­
sion) are fully justified.
Adolf Eichmann, the exterminator of millions of Jews, was tried and
executed when the regressed Saturn in the tropical sign^h^es (criminal
sign) was squaring Jupiter radix (in his exile, tropical Genimi).
Although Queen Elizabeth II has a similar radical aspect of Jupiter
square Saturn, it reflected the death of her father and the coronation,
events which have to be taken all in all as positive. Of course “a heavy
burden” is here expressed by Saturn square to Jupiter.
In Eichmann’s radix, however, Jupiter was in Gemini in detriment. As
long as 400 years ago, Morin interpreted the square of Saturn regressed in
Pisces to Jupiter in Gemini (detriment) as; death by jurisdicfioni.
The occasionally striking results achieved from tropical sign inter­
pretation should not encourage readers to delineate a radical chart by the
cosmic conditions (in his own sign, in or in detriment) of luminaries and
planets. As the slow planets, Jupiter through Pluto, remain in the same
tropical signs for years, it would be illogical to pay too much attention to
their sign position. However, it cannot be denied that the position of the
planets in the different signs show efficacy in the birth charts of people who
became famous or infamous during their lifetime.

Secondary Directions in Order of Their Efficacy:

1. Maturation of radical aspects (luminaries, planets, angles, and
house cusps) as in the radices of Ronald Reagan and Queen
Elizabeth 11.
2. Angular — and house cusp progressions and regressions to
radical factors.
2a. Progressed and regressed planets to radical factors.
3. Progressed angles and house cusps to progressed planets; or
regressed to regressed.
3a^ Progressed planets to progressed planets; or regressed to regress­
ed.
Progressed and regressed factors have to be treated separately, i.e.,
progressed only with progressed and regressed with regressed. -------
TTie secondary directional system cannot be recommended for rec-
^ification, however it helps to_conjolidate thF true birth time after a rec­
tification with primary directions has beeri achieved.
Fully automatized programs for computing secondary directions for
the COMMODORE 3032 are available (see Appendix). Day number tables
are to~EeTound in PredTcTlon.
Chapter 15

COMMENT ON FIGURES 1 THROUGH 16

The most impressive and'instructive events have been reproduced. The

numbers of events analyzed are in brackets^

1. JOHN LENNON 15 (20)

The large number of cliaracteristic directions with very small orbs con­
solidate the true birth time (24 directions involving angles and house cusps,
for 13 events). We have hcrc'an example which shows that malefics in bad
radical cosmic conditions (Mars in Libra) may produce disastrous events.
Mars direct trine Ascendant radix matures at Lennon’s assassination within
2 minutes of arc. In Lennon’s radix, success is symbolized by the trines of
Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn to the Midheaven. Besides this, the Sun close to
the Descendant is the most powerful factor of his natal chart. Moon high in
the sky opposition Pluto brought him popularity and fame, although the
conjunction of Pluto to Pars Fortuna points to a violent death, as well as
Mars square IC and Uranus conjunct Algol.

2. QUEEN VICrOEIA 10(1^

An extrovert horoscope with all planets on or above the horizon. As in
most charts of British monarchs reproduced in this book, Jupiter has a
strong position, here in the tenth house in a sextile to Uranus, which
dominates in quality and quantity in many directions of the events analyz­
ed. While Jupiter and Uranus support each other as they have exchanged
their domiciles. Mars, although not in an angular house, is in it.s own sign
Aries and strengthens Jupiter (sextile) and Uranus (trine) with harmonious
aspects. As explained in a previous chapter (secondary directions), the
traditional rules about the quality of planets in different signs cannot be ap­
plied for ordinary individuals as planets (and this concerns mainly “slow
ones”) remain too long in the same tropical sign. It would be illogical and
false to maintain that all people with, for instance, a radical Saturn in detri­
ment (Cancer) will noticeably suffer from this “weak planet”, as Saturn re­
mains in each sign for approximately 3 years. However, it is obviously dif­
ferent with the nativities of individuals who became famous or infamous.
The qualities of planets are of main importance in the horoscopes of
V.I.P’s as will be seen in the following nativities.
3. EDWARD VII 8(24}
Strong position of Jupiter (Sagittarius, domicile) conjunct Saturn
(Capricorn, domicile) on the Ascendant. I have to emphasize here that so
far the best available elements for computing Pluto (and consequently the
tabular values in the ephemerides, too) are not based on fully exact gravita­
tional grounds. There are no doubts that in most demonstrated horoscopes
of the nineteenth Century the zodiacal positions of Pluto are wrong by at
least 4 minutes, up to 15 minutes of arc. This is clearly shown by a con-
siderabie number of characteristic directions, which I h^ve either omitted
or reproduced with too large orbs. The answer to this may be one or two
undiscovered planets which influence the orbital motion of Pluto. In the
nativity of Edward VII, Pluto should be around_19° Aries 15*, not 19° 25’ as
in the chart reproduced.

4. GEORGE V 27(J^„
The typical chart of a monarch with a long and happy reign. Jupiter is
in its domicile Sagittarius within 6 minutes of arc to the Midheaven.

5. EDWARD VIII 705}

' Jupiter in Gemini Is in detriment, ruler of the MC. He became king
(MC in Sagittarius) but resigned after 10 months because of his relationship
to Mrs. Simpson (Jupiter in the fifth house).

6. GEORGE VI 8(1^
Jupiter is on Midheaven in the royal sign of Leo.

7. ELIZABETH II (Rectification Ndson Page) 13(25)

Saturn on Midhe^n with an astrologically unpersuasive support of
the paran of^ Mafs'/Jupiter^within 1 minute of arc).

8. PRINCE CHARLES 16(21)^

Charles has some chances to become king one day. Again, Jupiter is in
its own sign, Sagittarius, supported by favorable aspects of mainly Uranus.
Pluto in the first house is also well aspected.

9. PRINCE WILLIAM
The birth time has been slightly-adjusted by means of MDO’s. It seems
that England will remain a kingdom for a long time. This is a typical
horoscope of a future monarch; Jupiter very near to the MC in trine to the
Sun on Ascendant. Venus is aspected by Neptune and Pluto with quincunx,
Venus equals Neptune/Pluto (midpoint). Venus conjunct Algol aspected
by malefics equal susceptibility for illnesses of the throat (Cancer of the
throaFnoticed in 4 cases). Please see: Edward VIII dTed from cancer of the
throat and ^Alexander Marr (cam:er of the throat in 1973).|^
10. JOHN F. KENNED T 6 (9)_
Saturn on Midheaven helped him to climb the ladder of his career.
However, Saturn is in a bad cosmic condition (Cancer) and in a very close
opposition to Pars Fortuna. Mars in detriment on cusp VIII is in a semi-
s^areTo’ Pruto'.'”

11. RICHARD NIXON 14(1^

Former President Nixon has a remarkably unsignificant chart, as have
many U.S. Presidents. The conjunction of Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter is ,
quite powerful and helped him in his career. However, the opposition of
Pluto to this assembly of planets caused his downfall.

12. RONALD REAGAN 10(1^,

The President has a very fortunate Moon-Jupiter opposition near the
Ascendant-Descendant, Venus on IC supports this combination. Most
planets aredaJavQrable aspects to the Ascendant which helped him to be in
excellent health duringThe fiijst 72 years of life. Remarkable in this chart is
the fact that all planets are ih neutral or favorable aspects to each other.

13. ADOLF HITLER 33('^

Saturn in an unfavorable cosmic condition (Leo) squared by Mars in
detriment (Taurus) caused his downfall. Very remarkable for Hitler’s suc­
cess in elections and plebiscites are the large number of third house direc­
tions with Moon, Jupiter (both in III radix), and Uranus. As can be seen,
almost all third house combinations in directions during his life produced
favorable events with the symbolism of the third house (propaganda, elec­
tions, and interior politics). Similar to John Lennon’s chart (Mars direct
trine Ascendant radix primary direction) a trine of the scondary progressed
Mars (radical in detriment) to the radical Ascendant reflected a violent
death. For the interpretation of Hitler’s chart, please see Prediction, page
65, 66,

14. BENITO MUSSOLINI 16(^

A very energetic and powerful chart (Figure 15) with all planets on, or
above, the horizon. His political career is characterized by Uranus in X and
the conjunction of Sun and Mercury in IX. His violent death with his
mistress is symbolized by the unfavorable assembly of incompatible planets
in VII (Moon, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto).

15. ALBERT EINSTEIN

Sun in X. Sun/Jupiter equals MC (midpoint) in Figure 15. Mercury
conjunct Saturn in X, constructive mind. Uranus angular, ingenuity.

16. ALEXANDER MARR

This chart will be analyzed in a forthcoming publication.
 The writer does not maintain that all the reproduced directions have
necessarily reflected the events analyzed. It is very likely that one or other
direction is associated with a different event, or with an event which is
closely bound up with the event analyzed. Naturally, the result of a rec­
tification is never affected by these circumstances as in all charts the events
are reflected by a sufficient number of very characteristic directions with
small orbs.

FORMULAE AND COMPUTATION METHODS

THE RIGHT ASCENSION ,
The right ascension (RA) via longitude, declination and latitude,
cos RA = cos, LONG * cos LAT
cos DECL
(a) For longitudes in Aries-Virgo (inclusive) take the original result as
shown on the display of the calculator.
(b) For longitudes in Libra-Pisces (inclusive) make the result on the
display negative (change sign) and add 360°.
(1) For factors without latitude (Sun, No^, Pars Fortuna) the reduced
cos RA = cos LONG ^ has to be used.
cos DECL
(Or use RA - tables)
(2) The above demonstrated method for computing the RA does not
distinguish between positive or negative declinations and latitudes,
therefore all computations may be performed with positive values.
(3) There may be very few exceptional cases where the recommended for- ,
mula does not work. This will mainly happen with longitudes around
0° Aries and 0° Libra, and concerns planets with large latitudes. In
most cases the calculator will indicate an error. Here only_the ex^^
. perienced mathematician will find a solution by drawing a graph ^nd
using the obliquity of the ecliptic.
Example for version A:
Jupiter (radix John Lennon) _. .
LONG = 13° Tau 41.5’; DECL = 14° N 36.5’; LAT = 1 ° S 24’ ;
43.4130/DEC/COS/ h- /14.3630/DEC/COS/ * /1.24/DEC/COS/
/ = / Acos (41.6688)/DMS/ 41.40
RA Jupiter = 41 °40’
Example for version II:
Moon (radix John Lennon)
LONG = 3° Aqu 30’; DECL = 14° S 36’; LAT = 4° S 54’
303.30/DEC/COS/ -f- /14.36/DEC/COS/ * /4.54/DEC/COS/
/ = / Acos (55.37034)/CHANGE SlGN(-55.37034/ + /360/
/ = /304.6296/DMS/ 304.3747 /
RA Moon = 304° 38’
Texas Instruments calculators use for transposition of ’ and ” of arc into
decimals of a degree /2nd/DMS/ and vice versa for degree decimals into ’
and ” of arc /INV/2nd/DMS
COS (SIN,TAN) = /2nd/COS(SIN, TAN)
ARCUS COS(SIN, TAN) = /INV/2nd/C0S(SIN, TAN)

Exceptions:
It may happen that the position of a planet’s longitude does not cor­
respond with its mundane position in OA. This concerns planets with large
latitudes. A planet may appear to be in the twelfth house (J quadrant) while
ITHas not risen yet, with a mundane position in the first houseT
The true mundane position of the planet can be easily established after
the computations of the MD and the SA have been performed. In all cases
where the MD results arc larger than the results of the SA, MD and.SA
must be recomputed unde'r altered cbnditibhs7Here the planet must be con­
sidered not in the quadrant of its longitude, but in the 1 neighboring —
quadrant. In our example there are no sucE~cases to be considered.

TIME MEASURES IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROLOGY

(1) Universal Time (U.T.) The alteration of day and night, or the
apparent diurnal motion of the Sun.
(2) Ephemeris Time (E.T.) Takes into account the orbital movement
of the Earth, Moon and planets in the Solar System.
(3) Sidereal Time (S.T.) The period of rotation of the earth with
respect to the diurnal motion of the stars.
Applying these three time measurements to astrology means making a
correct distinction between the Ephemeris Time, a purely gravitational con­
stant time measurement in which the tabular values of Sun and planets are
computed in the Ephemerides since 19(X), and the Universal Time, which is
slightly variable and closely connected with the Sidereal Time for com­
puting the R.A.M.C., angles and houses.
For astrologers with research problems requiring special accuracy, the
following rules for the use of Universal Time (or Ephemeris Time) when
using the Nautical Almanac and Astronomical Ephemerides may be useful.
(a) For years 1900-1959 for Sun and planets use E.T. (Convert U.T.
to E.T. or vice versa by means of the Tables in the Appendix)
(b) For years 1960 onwards, all factors, Sun, Moon and planets are
calculated for E.T.
For the Moon, use U.T. for all years earlier than 1960, as
these values of the Moon are adjusted to U.T. and are not on a
gravitational base.
Moon positions in the Ephemerides earlier than 1960, regard­
less how accurately they are interpolated, may err by a consider-
/

HQ
 able number of seconds of arc.
(c) For years earlier than 1900, it is probably best to ignore E.T. for
all factors and to use U.T.(G.M.T.) throughout.
