Online nadi astrology so there has to be room for that but we also want to be careful that in go going back and digging up some of these different traditions that it doesn't lead to a sort of fundamentalism in terms of saying that my approach to astrology is the best and if you don't practice that approach to astrology that you're an idiot or you're a bad astrologer or something like that there's just a well sometimes that's a tendency that can sometimes happen
Or that some astrologers have i think it's more productive instead to some astrologers for example like rob hand talk about astrology as a language and different traditions of astrology being like speaking different languages and that if you're comparing two languages like let's say english and french they're just different languages and different ways of talking and it doesn't make one better or worse but instead they're just different ways of doing similar things so to some extent i think astrology is like that and it would be more productive
If we in comparing the traditions tried to focus more on what we like about different aspects of them rather than the things that we dislike about different aspects of them to whatever extent we can in order to encourage inclusivity in realizing that there's many different ways to practice astrology both historically in ancient times as well as in modern times and to try to stamp out certain types of astrology is almost like an attempt to erase that diversity and instead of attempting to erase that diversity
I think it would be better to embrace it in some way by looking at it as something that's interesting that astrology can be practiced in different ways rather than something that's somehow negative if that makes sense so this is something i've been thinking about for a while what are the contributions of each tradition this is not a comprehensive list it's just some of my sort of offhand thoughts about some of the things that i find interesting about the different traditions that they could contribute
If you're trying to synthesize them together from the mesopotamian astrological tradition i really like and appreciate i think is important their observational astrology where they had a much closer connection to actually looking at the sky and observing the movements of the planets and the stars with the naked eye and on their own and not always relying on books or relying on computers or what have you to calculate the positions of the planets because they were going out each night
And they were looking and had a personal sort of relationship with the stars and with the sky and that type of that approach to observational astrology i think is very important and something that we can draw on and learn from in terms of studying the mesopotamian tradition they also had a very close connection with ominology and with the relationship between astrology and other types of divination and how understanding astrology within the context of other types of divination might be useful in terms of then reflecting on how astrology works and how to to sort of conceptualize
And use it i think it would be very useful from hellenistic astrology since that's of course my primary tradition i think we can learn things like understanding the core technical structure of the system since many of the core techniques that we use in western astrology over the past 2000 years really fully came together around that time we can also recover a lot of lost interpretive distinctions like sect overcoming which is a aspect doctrine thing as well as concepts like holstein houses that i've already mentioned there's also
Some advanced timing techniques such as the time lord systems which includes things like annual perfections but also other more advanced time lord techniques such as zodiac releasing that i think are useful things that we can recover from hellenistic astrology from indian astrology we can recover something about the sidereal framework especially even if one isn't switching to the sidereal zodiac but looking at the nakshatras and their connection with the fixed stars and bringing that framework back into western astrology
In some form may be useful and important in indian astrology they also have other things like the dasha systems which is a continuous tradition of basically the indian version of the time lord systems using their framework and the way that the indian astrologers use the dasha systems could tell us a lot about how western astrologers could use some of these techniques like time lords now that they're being revived all of a sudden in modern times from the medieval tradition there's a lot of great techniques for mundane astrology
Using the jupiter saturn cycle as well as other world cycles and other mundane techniques like aries ingress charts and other types of ingress charts so there's some very good mundane stuff there's also some great stuff from medical astrology and temperament theory that really got going in the medieval tradition and really started to be refined at that point which is useful for character analysis but also for different applications of astrology in a medical context in different ways from the renaissance tradition
