INCIPIENT ASTROLOGER

INCIPIENT ASTROLOGER


What is an incipient astrologer? Note that since we already use “astrologer”, the title might imply a minimal level of culture as coupled with scientific knowledge. Luckily, since e.g. determining someone's marriage will require require but a couple of basic arithmetical operations, everyone so-to-say that can count to ten becomes an astrologer in minutes. So, let's see of you can count to ten! The basic traits of an incipient astrologer are conveniently given as follow.


1.

This caveat may be your last chance to get to know your horoscope for good. What marks an incipient astrologer? The incipient astrologer has usually overheard of one's own Sun sign, even an alternative Sun sign, but of course has no idea of the proper position of the Sun. This marks no long-term problem in one's initiation, since nobody here in Europe did have any idea of the proper path of the Sun in the past 2000 years. All one needs are the proper ephemerides for the planets along with some computing skills. A good Saturn aspect is required in an astrologer in order for the planets to march timely. As we shall see, there are no astrologers with a Saturn affliction, and yet Crowley had two. Of course, we are not interested in imperfect horoscopes, which hardly make for any astrology at all. Afflictions may suit a politician but not an astrologer.
2.

A child, butcher or florist that calculate the year and month of your marriage while they shoeshine or serve you can not be called incipient astrologers, since their knowledge is rudimentary and static. As everybody can perform what they do, that would make an astrologer of anyone. If you meet someone, especially in Venice, who tells you all the loves in your life by year, month and quality, he is not an astrologer yet, since it is too easy to perform such an elementary calculus in minutes. Therefore even as accurate prediction is being available to the masses, astrological standards in fact rise as a threatening deluge.
3.

Of course someone that can not even tell your next love affair given fifteen minutes is well-advised to drop it and find another job. All calculation is to be done by heart, since no computers are needed in an elementary class.
4.

The incipient astrologer knows nothing about one's own ascendant. Therefore one can not determine marriage, since one would need the seventh house to do that, and one does not have it. While even without ascendant proper everyone can e.g. calculate marriage in seconds, it is always better to lay down a real horoscope.
5.

The incipient astrologer has excellent Sun Moon Saturn Uranus Neptune aspects. That is a requirement. No squares allowed. Astrology is not for queers.
6.

The incipient astrologer has excellent Mercury Jupiter Uranus aspects. That is also a requirement. No squares to Mercury are allowed. Also, someone with Venus square Neptune is not an astrologer. Since in fact there are quite a few astrologers in a precession cycle, all sort of weirdos pop out with funny theories.
7.

Sometimes an astrologer overcomes even a bad aspect and shines, but to what extent? One example is Aleister Crowley with :||||| Mercury square Saturn. His excellent astrological renditions are nevertheless hell-bound. Last seen holding the cold hand of Nephthys that was reaching for him since he joined in, the astrologer will disappear along the wide yellow brick road as paved with good purposes. One day in active dreaming, the inorganic forces can take him or he can come across a fatal client or whatever weirdness is lurking out there might download to this plane. However, since astrology is about the astral plane, the attack will happen on that plane, the other world. Come hell or high water, one can nevertheless persist in one's impeccable intent. No wonder George Bush, Crowley's unofficial but most likely descendant has Nephthys all over his horoscope, starting with the ascendant in Canis Minor! Both horoscopes being downloadable for free, one can compare. A recent publication about 666, MAGVS, can be useful, too.
8.

Does Crowley qualify as incipient astrologer? His own works were advanced as to be too good even for our own times. But his initiation was mum as to the position of the Sun and natal ascendant. Crowley had three natal ascendants at once, just like this very Author. It is a shame that he was not initiated in the lunar zodiac1, being a specialist in filtering distant vibration through the astral matrix of the Moon, the meaning of the Priestess initiation. Three tarot initiations being available geographically at reach, one must conclude that Crowley moved rather alongside the black lodges: Mercury square Saturn.
9.

Does Derek Appleby qualify as incipient astrologer? Derek's precision is legendary. No one can ask more from an astrologer! Nevertheless, instead of depending on extra good luck, personal power and Regiomontanus, Derek would have to offer much more, given the proper zodiac, house system and ascendant set. Derek Appleby surely sets the standards in an incipient astrologer.
10.

If you are able to tell that the dog will be found at 6:35 am tomorrow in a cartoon box behind an elementary school, 6 miles NNW, by a school boy, then you are already past the title of “incipient” and can perhaps profit from this Author.

Now, what are the typical errors an incipient astrologer will surely do or come across, brush by as it were? As there are too many, indeed; we are limited to enumerating but some basic ones.
11.

The incipient astrologer will sheepishly follow the pack, along with a couple of improvised authorities. That is contrary to the temper of an astrologer who is always a noble rebel thinking with one's own head. The pack is led by half-blind gnus who do not see the precipice ahead2, and when they are there, the pack has too much momentum to stop and save themselves.
12.

The incipient astrologer will start using the wrong ephemeris, PC program and web-site. Worse, he will be inclined to read from cookbooks written by nobodies.
13.

The incipient astrologer will lack self-criticism in assuming that he knows it all.
14.

The incipient astrologer will forget to calculate in the influx of the stars.
15.

The incipient astrologer will know nothing of dwarf planets, comets or centaurs.
16.

The incipient astrologer will offer advice before knowing one's own horoscope first. Know yourself!
17.

The incipient astrologer will lack direction. There are over 360 directions to learn, so there is a long way ahead. Only an amateur will lean on transits.
18.

The incipient astrologer will be unable to change the upcoming events. Thus, his own predictions will undoubtedly be filled with doubt, gloom and fatalism.
19.

The incipient astrologer will be rightfully3 confused by the great offer as concern e.g. house systems. Solution? Drop them all. Continue.
20.

The incipient astrologer will all too easily judge synastry. This field of astrology is so refined that is better to drop it and just fall in love. Anyone attempting towards synastry would need extra personal power, besides being a superb first class astrologer. Timing marriage or love affairs however require no special astrological skill as everybody can do it in minutes. See also 20 Minutes Astrology and Objections to Fate in Modern Synastry by the same Author.
21.

Lack of qualification may inspire intimacy. We are all boiling in the same cauldron. Same fate for the same lack of knowledge is nevertheless an illusion as man is bound and pressed to learn. It is the God's command. Refusing to learn is to seek death. You are not entitled or allowed to stop learning! One can not stop once the path is set. Some will feel justified in stopping one's own progress while criticizing the advance of others. Such are to be pitied and set aside. There is no time for losers. Uranus not only approaches Cetus; it is already there by 2012. Albeit the astrologer will immediately seize the hour of death of the client, he is not entitled to reveal it to anyone!
22.

Being unqualified, the incipient astrologer will inspire fear in a client. The fear is all yours, since you have no idea of the position of that Pluto or the 7th house, forever out of reach for the incipient astrologer. As said, leaning too much on what others have said is not a mark of an astrologer at all. An astrologer is a free thinker, not some parrot-like repeater. Besides, e.g. in Europe, there is nothing to repeat where there was no astrology at all.

2How can they see anything ahead when they never knew their original natal skies in the first place?

3In this case it is better to be confused than sheepishly confident!
