Basic Techniques in Hellenistic Astrology
This lecture will provide an introduction to some of the core
technical concepts used in Hellenistic astrology, which is a
tradition of astrology that was practiced from the 1st century BC
until approximately the 7th century AD. The lecture is geared towards
modern astrologers who have little background in the ancient traditions
of astrology, and the goal is to provide a rich introduction to the
subject by highlighting the practical and conceptual value of some
of the older techniques.
To this end, I will emphasize a selection
of basic techniques and concepts from the Hellenistic tradition that
are immediately applicable in contemporary astrological practice. In
particular I will focus on the earliest conceptualization of the
planets, signs, houses and aspects, and show how the ways in which
they were originally used can have a profound impact on the practice
of astrology in modern times.
