This blog is written as an interactive journal of primarily electional, mundane and predictive astrology in the classical tradition. There are thoughts on methodology, the past, present and future of the art, its relationship to classical astronomy and any other thoughts and observations that seem relevant and worth sharing.
The header is taken from a 15th Century Book of Constellations and features a detail of Argo, the Celestial Ship. I feel a particular affinity to Canopus, the Celestial Navigator, no doubt because the star is conjunct my natal Part of Fortune.
I will also take this opportunity to ask the young lady from San Francisco to stop stealing the graphics I designed for http://www.classicalastrologer.com/. Of course I’m flattered; but I’m sure you are talented enough that you don’t need to “borrow” someone else’s logo and net ring image.
Hello,
