Declinations Convertor - Astrological technique by Kt Boehrer

Declinations, the other dimension of a planet's position in an astrology chart, represented an overlooked technique until astrologer Kt Boehrer books were published. She thoroughfully investigated this subject over many years, bringing to astrologers' awareness the extraordinary power and value of declinations. A high-quality website with many valuable articles on declination is Mandala.be.

Also known as "the declination lady", as she used to sign her messages, she pointed out the importance of out of bounds planets and developed astrological techniques such the declination conversion into longitude.

This technique simply considers that as the Sun moves both in longitude and declination throughout a year, there is a symbolic relationship between a declination degree and the Sun's position in longitude when it has the respective declination. But there're two moments during a year when the Sun has the same declination (named antiscia or solstice points), so there're two longitudes corresponding to a specific declination of the Sun. So, this is it: a planet's position in declination has two equivalent longitudes, representing a sort of reflection, a mirroring, a hidden connection.

It therefore allows correlating the two dimensions, declination and longitude, offering a way to integrate declinations in the regular astrology chart interpretation.

Whenever a planet's declination is higher than the maximum Sun declination (23°27' North/South), whenever a planet is out-of-bounds, the above mentioned technique cannot be applied anymore, so Kt Boehrer figured out a trick for this situation: the planet's declination is considered to have a mirror co-declination on the other side of the 23°27' threshold. Example: a declination of 23°30' has a codeclination of 23°24'.

Esoteric meanings of the Rising Sign

by Adele Barger Wilson

The following sign meanings are based on the principles set forth by Djwhal Khul
through Alice Bailey in Chapter II of Esoteric Astrology and simplified in
 An Esoteric Journey Through the Zodiac: The Inner Meanings of the Signs

PLEASE NOTE:  By no means do the paragraphs on this page represent firm or final textbook delineations.  Please consider them as constituting an initial attempt to verbalize possible soul's-purpose implications of the ascending sign in the horoscope.  I offer them to you as a starting point, an initial frame of reference, in our collective quest to discern and recognize the various arenas of growth, types of consciousness expansion, and fields of service that can be intended by the human soul.  Of course, the esoteric significance of the rising sign must be modified by many factors, most significantly, by planets in the first house, aspects to the ascending degree, and the house position, sign, and aspects of the esoteric ruler of the ascendant.  Degree, decanate, duad, and fixed star symbolisms are among the many other possible colorations that can contribute to the synthesis that would begin to describe the soul's purpose.

Physical Descriptions and Characteristics of the Tarot Court

by Gina Thies
 

The human figure has been the subject of drawings and art from the beginning of history. It has been so significant to art, partly because it is used to express the cultural values and viewpoints of the diverse eras in which they are composed. The Renaissance having the most influence on tarot is possibly also most detrimental in terms of representing all spectrums of people. It is a reminder of how small the world once appeared.

In the telling of any story, the physical descriptions of characters help to bring the story to life.

One could liken the reading process to telling one’s life story, with a host of characters that influence
the tale. In matters of love, querent regularly ask, “What does the future hold for my love life?”
followed by “What does he/she look like?” Even when matters are not so close to the heart, querents
