General Principles of Hellenistic Delineation

The first treats of:

• The System of the 12 Houses of Astrology as an Articulation of the Fate Concept
• The Hermetic Lots as the Manifestation of Chance in the Chart
• Planets in the Astrological Houses as Administrators of Fate
• How Planets are Qualitatively Modified in Signs

The next subject is planets in their various modes of combination:

• Co-Presences of Planets in a Sign (stellia) and Co-Rulerships of a Given Topic as based on the inherent Friendship or Hatred of the Planets for One Another
• Aspects as Testimony of One Planet for or against Another, a fundamental act of cognition interpreted in the concert human setting of the courtroom
• Applications and Separations of the Moon in terms of the Pollution or Purification of the Will, Malevolent & Benevolent Intent
• Planets in the Domiciles of Other Planets explicated in terms of the Soul’s Power of Action as motivated by the Strangeness or Familiarity of the environment in which a planet finds itself
• Transits as the Remembrance of One Planet by Another, as concretized by human acts of Gratitude & Forgiveness, accounting for the Persistence of the Natal Chart
• Time-lord Combinations  as the Articulation of the Soul’s Experience of Time illustrated by the human activity of Counting & Recounting.

There is also some discussion of the:

• Corresponding Medieval Doctrines, particularly in the area of Transit Delineation and the mutual Friendship & Hatred of the Planets
• And TWO IMPORTANT PHILOSOPHICAL DIGRESSIONS which concern the Hellenistic Understanding of the Soul as the “astral body” or Astral Substance, and cautions about using the form/matter concept in combining Planetary Energies.
