It is in an improper but practical way that we evoke the Signs of Spring, of Summer, of Autumn and Winter. Indeed, the seasons only exist for the Sun. For example, while the Sun is in Gemini, Venus can very well be in Cancer. The diagram above describes the growth of the dominant day in duration (for the Sun) or day arcs (for the Moon and the planets) from the spring equinox to the summer (...)

What is Natural Astrology? natural astrology or conditionalist astrology is based on the known and unknown laws of Nature: the reality of Heaven, with its physical and astrometric laws governing the (...)

The tilt of the Earth in its orbit From a heliocentric point of view, the Earth revolves around the Sun, thus determining its orbital plane. It takes 1 year to complete a full turn. At the same time, it turns on itself (around its axis of rotation inclined at 23.45° with respect to the plane of its orbit) in 24 hours, with a movement similar to that of a top. We also know that the planets (...)

Introduction: Pavlov discovering how the nervous system works It was however by studying the role of the nervous system in the functioning of these glands by carrying out animal experiments (Pavlov was an immense experimenter who only theorized after having personally validated his hypotheses in the laboratory) that he was led to discover the existence of “conditional reflexes”, which he (...)

The thrones of the old stars The idea that each zodiac sign is “naturally” associated with a star that governs it is for most astrologers such evidence that practically none of them even think of specifying or recalling its foundations. Thus, whatever the differences in approach that characterize them and the sometimes antagonistic philosophies that underlie them, almost all of the astrology (...)

Elementary History and Geography In this sense, the Elemental doctrine is absolutely not consubstantial with the original astrological thought. This historical fact is not, in itself, I gladly grant you, an argument for distrusting it, reforming it or rejecting it. After all, the elements of Freudian psychoanalysis that astrologer A. Barbault himself grafted onto traditional astrological (...)

From sunflowers to chronobiology Astrology postulates that there is a permanent interaction between living beings and cosmic rhythms and cycles. The scholars of Antiquity, whether they were astrologers, astronomers, philosophers or doctors, had sensed the importance of vital rhythms. Hippocrates had noted that the appearance of diseases was closely associated with the succession of the (...)

The paradoxes of two To be in a couple is to be two. And two is a paradoxical number. It signifies both opposition and union, conflict and association, incompatibility and complementarity, division and balance, duel and duo. The two is double, ambivalent. Dualities and symmetries are found everywhere in nature: day and night, light and dark, shadow and light, white and black, masculine and (...)

“I don’t want a Capricorn!” Personal testimony: I knew a woman who had given birth to a daughter in the seventies. At the time, she only knew the basics of astrology (a few generalities about the Signs of the zodiac). For I no longer know what obscure reasons or nonsense, she did not want her baby to be born under the Sign of the Capricorn. The birth was naturally to take place on 20th January, (...)

The psychological profile of professions Each profession, especially if it is very specialized, has its psychological profile. Watchmaking requires precision and meticulousness; a good soldier should be combative and courageous; it is better that a politician, a journalist or an actor master well the art of public speaking and that of communication, and that a cook has an innate sense of (...)

From barter to money… At the beginning of humanity, men were content to exchange products: it was the civilization of barter. Wheat for spices, fish for meat, weapons for jewelry. With the development of travel, these exchanges became more and more numerous and involved ever greater quantities of goods. One day, someone imagined replacing the concrete products of barter with a symbolic value, (...)

Since the dawn of humanity, man has wondered about his near or distant future. He imagined many techniques to foresee it, and thus to try to ward off the blows of fate or to launch his businesses at the most favorable moment. Astrology, clairvoyance and tarot cards are among these “predictive methods” the most known. What sets them apart? Seen from the immediate present, the future is the (...)

Guaranteed scams “Seen on TV”: uncouple! Above all, do not think that the astrologers who regularly appear on the small screen are the best, the most reliable, the most serious. An appearance on television is not a guarantee of honesty and competence. It is even most of the time exactly the opposite: the most famous and the most media are usually the worst. They are only looking for their own (...)

Deities and riddles Diviner, divine, divination and riddle: all these words have the same root. To guess future events it was necessary, for our distant ancestors, to be in the secret of the gods. Believing that nature was of divine essence, they were convinced that it was enough for them to read in the great cosmic book of minerals, animals and plants to guess what dark destinies the (...)

Sexuality in itself is not heavenly. It is inscribed in the depths of our animal nature. It therefore participates above all in our earthly affiliations. But since our earthly condition is influenced by the stars, there is an indirect but real relationship between sexuality and astrology. In the field of sexuality as in many others, nature and the different types of cultures have made us (...)

Who are the soothsayers? In France, the number of various diviners is currently estimated at 40,000, of which less than half are listed by the tax authorities. A figure to be compared to the number of doctors (about 50,000), priests (about 30,000) and psychoanalysts (about 4500). The cumulative annual turnover of “seers” is estimated at around 1,300,000 euros (8.5 million heavy francs). It is (...)

Carlson’s experiment Work hypothesis Astrology is incapable of analyzing the human personality and its personality traits character. It is a question of demonstrating the validity of this hypothesis by a “science experiment” decisive. Method and conditions of the experiment Carlson decides to form a work team consisting of three groups: ▶ statisticians using psychological tests; ▶ consenting (...)

The subjective validation effect Read the following text carefully: “You need to be loved and admired, yet you are critical of yourself. You certainly have weak points in your personality, but you generally know how to compensate for them. You have considerable potential that you have not turned to your advantage. On the outside you are disciplined and in control, but on the inside you tend (...)

Regularly, eminent scientists from around the world challenge the public authorities to finally ban the practice of astrology, which for them is a false medieval knowledge that is as irrational as it is dangerous. These men have one thing in common: they have never bothered to study what they want to censor. When they are reminded that a real rational and scientific approach requires (...)

The common point of these families, also called “negative”, is that they bring together planetary functions which “ignore” one or two levels of the R.E.T. Note that these “missing” can be absolute or relative. When they are absolute, the level(s) of the R.E.T. “missing” are denied or rejected by the planetary function concerned. When they are relative, they are used by the planetary function (...)

These quintets have in common to be composed of a family “extensive” and a family “intensive” belonging to the same level ‘R’, ‘E’ or ‘T’ of the R.E.T., of which they highlight the positive characteristics to the maximum, while underlining the lacks and the weaknesses. “Hyper-rR” quintet “Hyper-rR”: the “Representation” quintet Sun-Venus-Mercury-Jupiter-Uranus These five (...)

The planets whose R.E.T. are inverses form pairs of complementary-opposites: the source level (‘R’, ‘E’ or ‘T’ of one) is the target level (‘r’, ‘e’ or ‘t’ of the other), which constitutes a “crazy circle” or vicious circle in feedback integral. When one of the members of the duo dominates in a chart, it is important to carefully analyze the situation and the strength of the second. Couple Venus-Jupiter (...)

The Sun-Pluto couple occupies a special position: its nature therefore deserves in-depth investigation. These two stars indeed occupy the extremities of the solar system. Extreme center for the Sun, extreme periphery for Pluto… Beyond these two limits, it is the opening on the unknown: internal unknown of the Sun, external unknown of Pluto. This is how extremes meet. Sun and Pluto close and (...)

According to some astrologers, the planets ruling the first year of life (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun) in the theory of the ages would have an “affective” nature. The most recent studies in cognitive science show that the reality is quite different… “Big R”: the “Extensive Representation” trio Sun-Venus-Mercury Very affectionately… Read in No. 2 of Astrologie Pratique new formula, December (...)
