I. Introduction.

Astrology is a mesocosm, i.e. a universe between the macrocosm and the


microcosm, heaven and man. It is based on the hermetic principle: as above
so below: there is an analogy between cosmic phenomena and human
phenomena.
In the great body of the cosmos, destroyed today, we find many galaxies of
unimaginable size, made up of thousands of suns. Around many of those
suns, planets circle in an elliptical orbit. A very small part of our galaxy is
made up of our sun. Orbiting it are nine known plane ten: Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It is plausible that
the sun and the planets have an influence on the living beings on earth. It is a
claim that has not yet been scientifically proven.
We have not included the moon in the series of planets, because it is not a
planet, but a satellite of the earth. The moon's influence on nervous and
hysterical people is well known.
Astrology is based on the premise that the position of the heavenly bodies at
birth has a lasting influence on an individual.
Astrology is symbolic and uses mythological, physical and physiological
concepts. Some stem from a distant past, others arose with the discovery of
the new planets Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1846, and Pluto in 1930.

Astrology thus works with the following celestial bodies:

Celestial body symbol Orbital time


sun ! 365 d
moon @ 27 d
Mercury # 88 d
Venus $ 225 d
Mars % 1 y 322 d
Jupiter ^ 11 y 86 d
Saturn & 29 y 5
Uranus * 84 y
Neptune ( 165 y
Pluto _ 250 y

The planets revolve around the sun and the moon around the earth. Viewed
from Earth, it is as if the planets orbit around the Earth. Since we live on Earth,
we must consider the planets in relation to the Earth.

Seen from Earth, the planets move in the sky at a very variable speed. Some
sometimes go backwards for a while, then they're retrograde, sometimes they
seem to stand still, which we call stationary, and then they go forward again.

There are different types of astrology:

The geocentric one: which places the Earth in the center of the map with the
sun orbiting around it.
The heliocentric, where the earth revolves around the sun;
The tropical with the starting point at 0 Aries.
The sidereal that takes into account the shift of the equinoxes and shifts the
planetary positions backwards by 2330.
The German school (Ebertin) that works without houses and makes
analyses of the midpoints of the planets.
Uranic astrology: adds the asteroids to the interpretation of the classical
planets.
The astrology of the Harmonics that arises by multiplying the lengths of the
planets by a number.

Astrology can cover several areas.

Human: natal astrology, predictive, relationship, local.


Medical: examines the indications of disease, hence the possibility of
prevention, diagnosis and prediction of disease trends.
Financial: analysis of firms' horoscopes and economic cycles.
Mundane astrology: analysis of world events through the horoscope of
countries, politicians, events.
Horary astrology: analysis of the moment at which a particular question is
asked.

In the course we will use the tropical geocentric method for the study of
human astrology.

To practice astrology one needs to have a number of qualities:

- patience and accuracy: especially for calculating the position of the planets
and the arrangement of houses.
- an analytical and synthesizing ability: not to overlook anything. To be able to
come to the essential and make a possible synthesis.
- have no philosophical, moral or social prejudices. The astrologer should not
judge, but should analyse the possibilities, recognize the strengths and
weaknesses.
- non-determinism: one must avoid establishing unavoidable fatalities. What is
said must be done in a humane way. There is still such a thing as free will.
Nothing is unconditionally fixed. Often by knowing one's weaknesses one can
avoid certain fatalities.
- discretion: just like a doctor or a lawyer, an astrologer is bound by a certain
deontology, whereby his analyses are not disclosed to third parties.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt

- communication capacity: first to express the analysed in writing, later to


allow an oral interview with the client, where the transmitted message is
interpreted, assimilated and discussed.
- one must always be prepared to continue, deepen and expand the
astrological study with the latest discoveries in the field of astrology, through
further reading, self-study and following courses.

Some more comments.

One should never make an analysis for someone who has not asked.
If you do ask, it shouldn't be free. After all, the astrologer puts a lot of time and
work into it.
There are computer programs that save a lot of time to make the calculations.
The programs that provide an automatic analysis are too general and far from
complete.

Purpose of Human Astrology.

The main objective is to offer man the opportunity to get to know himself really
and completely, in his past, the present, his future. To get to know his fellow
human beings: his children, lover, partner. To discover its possibilities, its
mysteries and its thresholds. Astrology is the only technique that makes it
possible from birth to know the impulses of the body, psyche and spirit and to
trace its evolution.

II. Astronomical Basics.

The earth.

The Earth is an ellipsoid that revolves around its polar axis.

a. Movement.

The two movements of the earth are:

- the daily rotation about its axis from west to east in the opposite direction of
a clockwork in a sidereal day of 23h 56m 04s.

- the movement in an elliptical orbit around the earth from east to west in a
year of 365 days 5 h and 48 min.

b. Determining a place on Earth.

The earth is divided by the equator into a northern and a southern hemisphere.
A certain point on earth has two coordinates:

- the geographic latitude from 0 to 90 degrees from the equator to the North
Pole: the latitude north; and from the equator to the South Pole: the south
latitude.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt

- the geographic longitude: this is the Earth's meridian starting from 0


Greenwich meridian in the east from 0 to 180 east longitude; and in the west
also from 0 to 180 western length.

The meridians are not parallel, but converge towards the poles. One degree
at the equator is about 111.3 km and 0 meters at the pole.

c. Agreement between length and time.

The earth is divided into 24 time zones with a width of 15 (15 x 24 = 360).
- the base zone from 0 Greenwich to 15 E longitude.
- 11 zones to the east and 11 zones to the west.
- a zone on the 180 meridian where the international date line is located.
360 = 24 hours; 15 is 60 minutes and 1 corresponds to 4 minutes. The
correspondence between longitude and time is the basis of astrological
calculations.

d. Solar time and sidereal time.

The rotation of the earth on its axis determines the alternation of day and
night. There is a symbolic 24-hour day based on the passing of the sun over a
particular meridian. In addition, there is the true sidereal day based on the
passing of a fixed star over the same meridian at the same place. A sidereal
day of 24 hours corresponds to a solar day of 23 hours 56 minus 4 seconds.
This means that the stars are 3 min 56 sec. rise and set earlier. In a year one
sidereal day is added compared to the solar days. This difference must be
taken into account in the astrological calculation. Hence the tables of sidereal
time in the ephemerides to which we shall return later.

e. Determining the position of the planets in relation to the celestial vault.

The ecliptic is the Earth's orbit around the sun.


The zodiac or zodiac is the band at the height of the ecliptic within which the 9
celestial bodies or planets move: the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Only Pluto and the fixed stars are
outside the zodiac because of their long celestial length.

The celestial longitude is measured between 0 and 360 starting at 0 Aries,


divided over 30 per sign.

The sign that rises in the east is decisive for determining the ascendant that is
the basis of the division of the horoscope into 12 so-called houses.

III. The horoscope.

The horoscope is based on the analysis of four parameters and their


interrelationship.

1. the place of the planets in the signs.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


5

2. the position of the twelve houses in the signs (especially the ascendant and
the midheaven)
3. the location of the planets in the houses.
4. the aspects between the planets, the ascendant and the M.C.

Before starting this analysis, we must first deal with these different parameters.

The difference in meaning between a sign, a planet and a house can be


described as follows:

The signs symbolize, as it were, the colour of the inner experience or in other
words: the predisposing manifestation of a certain zodiac principle.

The houses symbolize how this predisposition manifests itself and to which
life situations it leads.

The planets each reflect a specific motive. In this sense, the planets provide
collective information about one's motivation. An interaction between the
planets is represented by the aspect they make to each other.

a. Meaning of the planets:

The sun: center, ego, kingship, authority, vitality.


Mercury: thinking, orator, scientificity, speaking, communication, connecting,
gut, movement
The moon: adaptation, changeability, the home, the mother, security,
emotion.
Venus: feeling, not neutral, sympathy or antipathy, bonding, love, art,
harmony.
Mars: energy, struggle, parting with martial slant, energy, rough language,
brawling, continuous work, making things.
Jupiter: faith, wisdom, great planet of happiness. Strives for expansion:
encompassing the whole, love of humanity, the great connection, belief in a
matter, form of thinking other than Mercury.
Saturn: contraction, rigidity, limitation, crystallization, patience, accuracy,
punctuality.
Uranus: renewing, intuitive thinking, rupture.
Neptune: feeling mediumistic, melting, degeneration, decay, weak, not
enough strength, energy flows away. Strong empathy with others. Flowing
into their environment, sometimes very destructive, illusion, fantasy.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt

Pluto: power, force majeure, strong in the horoscope: make or overwhelm


everyone cf. Hitler. Hypnotic power, awesome energy, bigger than Mars. Can
come out in a tremendously destructive way. Destruction, death,
transformation.

The table below gives an overview of the relationship between the signs the
planets and the houses.

Venus controls the signs of Taurus and Libra. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo.
Mars controls Aries.It is considered by certain authors to be ruler of Scorpio.
The ruler's knowledge of a sign in the horoscope is important, as it will
indicate how certain powers will be expressed.
The characters are divided into male (+) and female (-).
The + signs work expansively, so grow and expand outwards.
The - signs have a stabilizing effect, they preserve existing states.
The positive signs are also called electrical signs. They are signs that radiate,
that give strength, that rule.
The negative signs are magnetic. They are receptive, attract forces and are
easily mastered.

The characters are classified into:

Double signs: Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces. The area of ​ ​ life


dominated by double in each case shows a repetition, e.g. marriage, different
careers, philosophies, etc.
Fertile Signs: Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces.
Barren Signs: Aries, Leo, Capricorn, Aquarius.
Scientific Signs: Gemini, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Aquarius.
Orator Signs: Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt

Dumb signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. These signs are often related to a
difficulty in expressing oneself.
Weak signs: Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces.
Strong signs: Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius.

b. Classification of the twelve zodiac principles according to their


modality.

This classification is based on the principle that one can experience the
psychic representation of the energy of the solar system as a kind of stream
of consciousness that can express itself in three ways.

In order to distinguish between the main signs, fixed signs and movable signs,
we think of a battlefield.

The attackers = main characters.


The defenders = fixed characters.
The communication, mediation = movable signs.
The Major Cross: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn.
Key concepts: pushing forward, undertaking, ambitious, purposeful, imperious,
assertiveness. Active, trying to achieve goals, striving for independence.

The fixed cross: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius.


Keywords: firm, determined, steadfast, reserved, reliable, unyielding,
dogmatic, fanatic. Conservative, tenacious, persistent.

The Movable Cross: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces.


Keywords: agile, serving, compliant, changeable, fickle, confused, indecisive.
fervent desire for internalization, adaptation, diplomacy.

Main signs: ---> an unhindered movement aimed at the outside world.


They look for the direct way, the shortest way, based on the impulse, the elan.
If there is an obstacle in the road, then comes the shock. Radiating way of
using energy. Forces that use themselves.

Fixed signs: a restrained movement; The energy flow is directed from the
outside in, which often leads to stability of principle.
They try to concentrate, hold onto the ideas and emotions. Energies that
ferment, are held in until the eruption. Think of the volcano.

Movable signs: ----> interaction of inflows and outflows <----

They show a back and forth of energy, change of direction, back and forth.
Forces that consume themselves through fragmentation.

c. Classification according to the four elements:

Astrology contains so many symbols with very profound meaning that it is


sometimes difficult to assimilate them in a short time. Often they are

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt

meditation material for years. One of those symbols is the four element theory,
which also played a major role in the Hermetic philosophy of the alchemists.
There are four elements: fire, earth, water and air. One should not make the
direct association here with material conditions; rather they are essences,
qualities, the attitude with which the energy flow is expressed.

The element of fire: one thinks of the flame, but our approach must go
further and see the realization as the activating force, energy, creative life
force.
Planets in fire signs will therefore be very powerfully inspiring, creative,
radiant, magnanimous, passionate, enterprising, bold, overconfident,
imperious, wasteful, presumptuous, sensual, pugnacious, fierce.
The element of earth: this is not the soil, but the force that holds the particles
and things together, the solidity, the cohesion. This element will work
formatively, take shape, hardening, matter-of-fact, concrete, practical, active,
firm, tenacious, sober, matter-of-fact, materialistic, heavy-handed, obstinate,
dogmatic.
The element of air: it is the force for expansion, deformability, elasticity. Key
concepts are: intellectual, understanding, registering, being able to adapt,
mediating, agile, changeable, scattered, fragmented, restless, nervous,
unreliable.
The element of water: this refers to the power to dissolve, disintegrate,
liquefy. Keywords: sensitive, selfless, compassionate, impressionable,
receptive, rich in fantasy, dreamy, sensitive, fluctuating, suggestive, passive,
capricious, sentimental, hysterical, easygoing.

Fire signs:

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Wanting to move, bring to life, creation, command, organise. Based on heat.


So: enthusiasm, faith, trust, will, exaltation.

Earth signs:

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Want to export, materialize, make profitable, possess and security.


Stabilization. Holding back and distrusting.

Air Signs:

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

Volatile, rarefied, thoughts, mental signs. Active and enterprising, but with a
mental and communicational attitude.
Want to express themselves through word, gesture, writing, etc. Passing on
and communication. Diffusion and fragmentation.

Water Signs:

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


9

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Emotional signs, an emotional approach to the environment


Emotionality, dreams, illusions. Blending into others. Passivity.

The most occupied element in the horoscope is the superior element, the
least occupied is the inferior element.

e. Reflections on the Elements and the Crosses.

Aries: head and fire.


By combining the free energy expression, this yields direct and unimpeded
expression of its impulses, storms without content.
Leo: fast and fire.
If an object retains heat, it expands. That is why we observe an accumulation
of energy in the sign of Leo. Holding energy. From this follows: sense of
dominance, pride, self-love, pride.
Sagittarius: movable fire.
Absorb energy and send it back. Get ideas and defend back with fire.
Propaganda, often at the level of ideas. Change corpse.
Taurus: solid and earth.
Holding shapes. Attracting matter, sentiments, etc. and holding it.
Virgo: mobile and earth.
Back and forth motion over matter. So analysis. Tossed back and forth
between concrete matters.
Capricorn: head and earth.
Free and strong movement, unimpeded. Crystallization of the ego to achieve
a goal, at any cost. Huge ambition.
Gemini: motile and airy.
Back and forth ideas. Collect and redistribute. Think of the reporter.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


10

Libra: head and air.


Free movement through air. Realizing oneself through talking, discussion,
theater etc. Bringing out ideas.
Aquarius: solid and air
Attracting and retaining ideas.
Cancer: head and water.
Unhindered flow of feeling, emotions. Security in the maternal concern.
Scorpio: solid and water.
Holding on to feeling. Fermentation.
Pisces: motile and water.
Back and forth movement of feelings. Variability of emotional attitude.
f. Value of the planets in the signs.

A sign's ruling planet is strong or exalted in its own sign, but weak or in fall in
opposite sign.
eg: march in Aries +5 increased
mars in libra -5 in fall
moon in Cancer +5
moon in Capricorn -5
Mars is strong in Aries because the natures of Mars and Aries are very similar.
Venus is weak in Aries because the sweet, gentle, harmony-seeking Venus is
hard to reconcile with the hot, energetic, orbiting Aries.
For example, certain values can be assigned to the planets in signs.

Classification according to Gorter:

Sign ! ç, # $ % ^ & * ( _

1 +4 0 0 -5 +5 +1 -4 0 0 +5

2 0 +4 +3 +5 -5 0 +2 -4 0 -4

3 0 0 +5 +2 0 -5 +3 +1 0 0

4 0 +5 0 0 -4 +4 -5 0 +4 0

 +5 0 0 0 +2 +1 -5 -5 0 +2

6 0 0 +5 -4 0 -5 +2 0 -5 0

7 -4 0 +1 +5 -5 0 +4 +1 0 -5

8 0 -4 0 -5 +5 +3 0 +4 +3 +5

9 +3 0 -5 0 +2 +5 0 0 0 +2

0 0 -5 +3 +1 +4 -4 +5 0 -4 0

- -5 0 +1 +2 0 0 +5 +5 0 0

= 0 +2 -4 +4 +1 +5 0 0 +5 0
+5: in own sign; +4: in increase
0: strange
-4: fall ; -5: in destruction.
It is useful to use this table in horoscope assessment to determine how strong
the effect of a planet is in a sign.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt

Thus the planets will have a favourable or an unfavourable expression,


depending on whether they are strong or not.
eg.
Sun in Aries: will to power, organizational, impulsive
Sun in Libra: unstable equilibrium, no centrality through division.
Moon in Taurus: courteous, friendly, pleasant.
Moon in Scorpio: belligerent, selfish.
Venus in Pisces: witty, sincere and kind, willing to help
Venus in Virgo: Selfish, petty, critical.
Jupiter in Cancer: very sensitive, devoted, strong protectiveness.
Jupiter in Capricorn: very ambitious, stingy, arrivistic.
From these few examples, we notice that the forces represented by the
planets will have a positive or a negative effect, depending on the sign they
are in.

VI. aspects.

When two planets affect each other at a certain angle, they form an aspect.
There are a number of aspect angles that should always be considered in a
horoscope.
These are:
The sextile F : 60 beneficial effect
The triangle H : 120

The square G: 90 unfavorable


The opposition K : 180

The conjunction A: 0 can be favorable or unfavorable.

In addition, can be considered:

The semi-sextile S: 30 favorable


The semi-square D 45 unfavorable
The inconjunction L : 150 unfavourable

With the exception of the semi-square, all aspects are multiples of 30.
Sun and Mercury are close together. The maximum deviation is 28 so that
they can only form a conjunction.
Sun and Venus are at most 48 apart, so that, in addition to a conjunction, they
can only form a 30 aspect which is a weakly favourable aspect.
An aspect angle may differ from the exact value. We call this deviation the orb.
For the smaller aspects this is about a maximum of 6 (sex tile). In the larger
aspects with sun and moon about 10 (90 120 180). The larger the orb, the
more the aspect decreases in power.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


22

As for the conjunction, the effect may be favourable or unfavourable


according to the nature of the planets.
E.g. Venus (benefit) and Jupiter (benefit) will show a very favourable influence
at a conjunction.
Mars (malephic) and Saturn (malephic) form an unfavourable conjunction.
The trine and to a lesser extent the sextile show a favourable combination of
planetary forces.
E.g. Mercury (the mind) trine with Uranus (insight) will give innovative insights
to the mind.
An opposition is a questionable aspect. The opposition between Venus (love,
bonding) and Uranus (independence) will work out as a constant doubt
between love and freedom. This individual will bind in a relationship or a
marriage, but after some time break free.
In addition to the value of the planets in the signs, the aspect angles between
the planets must certainly be taken into account in the analysis of a
horoscope. This will certainly be the case in medical astrology, where the bad
aspects, especially with malefics, give the key. The malefics elaborate
according to their nature:
Mars and Uranus: battle, battle, injury, operation, accident, spasm.
Saturn: delay, blockage, stagnation, chill.
Neptune: putrefaction, infection, soul diseases, mysterious diseases,
poisoning, degeneration, chaotic effect.
Pluto: growths, growths, cancer, diseases caused by force majeure, radiation
diseases.

When two planets make an aspect, one planet always runs faster than the
other. If the fastest planet comes first, we have an outgoing aspect. If the
fastest runs against the slowest, then we have an ingoing aspect.
Ingoing: the energy of the fastest planet collides with the slower one and thus
works more inwardly.
Outgoing: The energy of the fastest planet brings out the energy of the
slowest.

Example:

Sun conjunct Mercury.

Outgoing: the sun chases Mercury; goes to the world; talk about self,
communication to the outside.

Ingoing: thinking about oneself, inward, contacts with oneself, introverted.


Busy with himself; engaged in self-realization.

Venus conjunct sun.

Outgoing: trying to materialize bonds outwardly, making bonds outwards.

Ingoing: love for oneself, very preoccupied with oneself, works inwardly.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


23

Degree difference between the sun and Venus is eg 22: in outgoing aspect: at
the age of 22 something experienced in love.
In entry aspect: art period.

Mars: The energy can be all around.

Outgoing is convenient.

Mars sextile sun.

Outgoing: strongly harmonious standing up for oneself: with energy to realize


oneself, to make concrete.

Mars square sun

Outgoing: wanting to live up to oneself with energy, but making chunks,


struggle between oneself and energy. Wants to act.

Mars opposition sun:

Doubt: develops strongly in youth: walks back and forth between what you
want and what you desire. Choose the stronger of the two. Some of the
energy is blocked. Very difficult aspect.

Mars square sun:

ingoing: attracting, continuous fighting will collide with something that resists.
Trying to stand up, but clashing against violence, against marching marks,
against brutality.
Mars conjunction Sun

Ingoing: continuously crashing. Disappointment, powerlessness. Pushes


against something with great resistance.
Outgoing: manifests itself in a forceful manner.

VII. The houses.

The ascendant determines existence and personality. The descendant


determines the other. They face each other. One is attracted to the opposite
pole and achieves equilibrium in the middle.
From the base, the I.C., the home, the parenting patterns, we grow to the M.C.
the pinnacle of life, power, honour, fame, social position.
The horoscope is divided into 12 unequal houses that cover different areas of
life.

House 1, the Ascendant, tells us something about the physical personality,


but also about the character.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


24

The second house determines finances, moving property, stability, certainties,


but also the innate talents.

The third house is the house of the lower mind, the immediate environment
and everyday reality. This also includes close relatives such as brothers and
sisters. It is the house of movement, short trips, communication and contacts.

The fourth house tells us something about the home, both the parental home
and one's own home. It also tells us something about the origin, the influences
from the parental family, heredity. It is the house of beginning and end.
The fifth house is the house of pleasures, self-realization, creativity. It is the
house of love and children, both physical and spiritual, sexuality, pregnancy.

The sixth house is the house of working conditions, but is also related to acute
illnesses, physical infirmities.

The seventh house is the other's house in general and the partner's house in
particular. It also indicates the way in which new contacts are made. It
denotes situations where one appeals to the other, e.g. in the sense of case
law or advice.

The eighth house has to do with the life crises. It is the house of the hidden,
the problem of life and death, sexuality. It is an occult house that also relates,
among other things, to mysticism, spirituality, but also to illness.

The ninth house is the house of the higher mind, of the broadening of
horizons, both literally and figuratively, abroad and foreign travel. It also tells
us something about the higher aspirations, ideals, higher studies and is
related to religion and philosophy.

The tenth house determines one's social position, honour, appearance, fame,
the status one achieves, but also one's destiny. One of the parents.

House eleven is the house of expectations for the future. It is the home of
friends and kindred spirits, of the human community in general and the
person's relationship to that community. Protection, human love.

House 12, the actual fish house, is the house of seclusion. The house of the
deepest inner secrets, of the subconscious. It is the house of problems,
loneliness, isolation, self-denial, decay, mysticism.
It is also an occult house and has to do with illness.
Planets in corner houses will be more pronounced than the other planets.
Corner houses are I, VII, IV and X.
Corner of house I: the ascendant.
Corner of house VII: the descendant.
Corner of house IV : the I.C.
Corner of house X: the M.C.

IX. Rules of interpretation.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


25

1. the meaning of the planets must be respected.


eg. march: energy, action...
2. A planet is beneficial if it is in a sign in which it is strong.
eg. Mars in Aries Saturn in Capricorn.
3. A planet is malefic if it is in a sign against its nature.
4. The aspects cannot change the nature and action of the planets. They
direct the action.
5. All planets in corner houses work out strongly (houses 1, 4, 7, 10)
6. To enjoy anything, one must have this planet strong; thus in a sign that
corresponds to its nature.
7. If King 1 is raised or in a corner house, the action of the individual will have
a lot of repercussions on others.
8. One will always act according to the lord of the ascendant.
eg. Mercury lord 1 will always want to act through communication, exchange,
trade.
9. Each planet contained in a house gives to this house the characteristics of
the sign and house it controls + its general characteristics.

Ex. Saturn, lord 1 (ascendant Capricorn) and placed in house 6 in Gemini.


Saturn gives to house 6:
- the characteristics of house 1 (personality): ambition, calculation.
- Capricorn characteristics: the characteristic of wanting to rise.
- are general characteristics that occur in the sign of Gemini (intellectual sign)
and in the area of home 6 (work and health).
10. A planet will not be able to fully externalize its operation unless it is in
aspect with its dispositor.
eg. Saturn in Gemini will be enhanced by a triangle with Mercury or by a
square with Mercury, etc.
11. A planet without exaltation will depend entirely on its dispositor.
eg. above: Saturn is not elevated in Gemini; how it works depends on mercury.
12. To judge something one must:
- the general indicators
- examine the special indicators.
eg. before marriage:
1 Mr 7
2 the general indicators for marriage (sun and Mars in a feminine theme,
moon and Venus in a masculine theme)
13. Every planet 5° from the cusp of a house belongs to this house.
14. The more planets in a house, the more important this house.
15. To judge the chances of agreement between two areas, one examines the
aspect and also whether this aspect is favourable or unfavourable.
eg. the correspondence between the born and his partner: one looks at the
aspect of lord 1 and lord 7.
no aspect: indifference.
good aspect: good agreement.
bad aspect: bad agreement.
16. The strength of a theme should be judged according to:
- the number of planets in increase.
- the number of planets in corner houses.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


26

- the meaning of the degrees.


17. The houses can have derived meanings:
younger siblings: first: house 3.
second: house 5. etc.
older siblings: house 1: individual himself.
house 11: first elder.
house 9: second older.
Every child of the individual is represented by the houses.
first child: house 5.
second child: house 7.
third child: house 9.
Each partner is suggested:
first marriage: house 7
second marriage: house 9
third marriage: house 11.
The dispositor: See example calculation. Venus as lord ascendant is in Leo.
This sign is ruled by the sun. So the sun is the dispositor of Venus. The action
of Venus will be related to the position of the dispositor. If they make a
favourable aspect, then the energies will come forward in a favourable way. If
they make a bad aspect, Venus will be manifested in a bad way. Venus is lord
ascendant and is in house 10. The person is strongly connected with the
pursuit of the achievement of his career. He strives for brilliance,
characterized by the sign of Leo. He wants to achieve social prestige. The sun
as a dispositor is in Virgo. He works with great precision. The sun is in the
11th house, so he uses the influence of his friends or kindred spirits to ensure
his social position.
The dispositor here is not aspected with Venus, so that the effect is rather
neutral. If the dispositor is poorly connected, it points to career achievement
problems. If the dispositor is connected in a favourable aspect, the person will
benefit from it.
We must examine the general sympathies and the particular signifiers.
Ex. Marriage has to do with partnership, with the other, the descendant, the
7th house. We find indications about marriage in the 7th house. To this end
we must seek the lord of house 7. The cusp is on Aries. Mars is therefore lord
7. We are now looking for where Mars is. Mars is strong in Scorpio in house 1.
The partner will play a major role in the personality of the person. Pluto as a
dispositor is in Leo in the 10th house. Through the support of the partner, he
will acquire an important social position. However, she will want more and
more and want to go to the extreme, which will have a debilitating effect on
the person. His whole life will be a struggle to maintain his social standing.
In a male horoscope, Venus and the moon are general indicators for the
woman. In a female horoscope, Mars and the sun are important indicators for
the partner.

VIII. Calculation of the horoscope.

1. Calculation of time.

For the calculation of the horoscope we start from the time at which a certain
event takes place.

“Astrology course” by Roger Walraedt


27

The time is indicated per time zone with a difference of 1 hour per zone.
There are 24 time zones so a time zone of 1 hour corresponds to 15 degrees.
360 : 24 = 15.
So 15 degrees equals 60 minutes, so one degree equals 4 minutes.

For our region east of the 0 meridians of Greenwich we use the Central
European Time (CET) as clock time. In the winter period, that clock time
differs by one hour from the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). During the
summer time periods this difference is two hours.

Summarized:

GMT= clock time - 1 hour (winter time) or MET = GMT + 1 hour.

GMT= clock time - 2 hours (summer time) or MET = GMT + 2 hours.

From 1916 to May 20, 1940, winter time was equal to GMT and summer time
GMT + 1 hour. From May 20, 1940 to October 7, 1946, a special arrangement
was in place. From October 7, 1946 to April 3, 1977, the clock time was
continuously GMT + 1 hour. The current scheme was introduced from 3 April
1977.

However, the GMT, which is actually only correct for the 0 meridan, applies to
the entire zone. According to the location of a particular place, time correction
must be performed to know the True Local Time (WPT).

This time correction must be added for the east longitude.


This time correction must be subtracted for the western longitude.

Example.

Kortrijk is located at 3°16 EL

WPT = 3 x 4 min = 12 minutes

We also have to make the correction for the 16'.


1= 60 arc minutes = 4 time minutes.

16' = 4 x 16 = 64 = 1.06 time minutes.


60 60
= 1 min + 6/100 min
= 1 min 04 sec
So 13 minutes must be added to the GMT for Kortrijk.
If the clock time is 2:15 pm on December 1,
then the WPT is:14.15
-1
= 13.15
+ 0.13

2. Calculation of planetary positions.

The planetary positions are included in the ephemerides that are either made
up for midnight or noon.
We prefer to use "The Rosicrusian Ephemeris" ed. Maison Rosicrusienne St.
Michel-De-Boulogne - O7200 Aubenas - France. These ephemerides are
made up for 0 hours.

GT is 5h 23

The locomotion of the sun in 24 hours = 1 = 60'


What is the locomotion of the sun in 5h 23'?
Calculation with the rule of three:

Example. September 3, 1950 at 10.30 am in Kortrijk.


10.30 = 9.30 GMT

We look in the ephemerides for September 3, 1950. In the first column we find
the sidereal time before midnight.
St. t. 22h 46
WPT 9h 43

8h29 is the sidereal time before birth that serves as the basis for looking up
the house cusps.
For latitude 51 north we will look up the house distribution in a house table.
For our case, we find before 8.29 am.

Field 10 11 12 1 asc 2 3

The ascendant here falls on 2625 Libra, the second house on 23 Scorpio etc.
To draw a horoscope figure, one takes the sign Libra as the leftmost in the
horoscope circle. Counterclockwise and in the order of the sign, we place the
signs.
With the data from the table above, the cusps of the houses in the radix are
transferred. Afterwards the planets become
placed in it according to the calculation of the planets.

We use the WPT for the calculation of the houses.
