The dialectic of powers in the R.E.T. system

Introduction With the exception of the Moon, Earth’s satellite, each Planet has at least one point in common with two others, depending on whether it shares the same source level (‘R’, ‘E’, ‘T’) or the same target level (‘r’, ‘e’, ‘t’). The cybernetic organization Cybernetics (whose Greek etymology means “science of government”) studies “control and communication processes in living beings, machines and (...)

“Lacks” of planetary functions

The negative is not the absence Each planetary function is characterized by both the levels of the R.E.T. that she “excited” and by those she “inhibits”, to which she is indifferent or opposed, which blind her, which she ignores, rejects or obscurely seeks. In this sense, the negative formula of a planetary function can be understood as the equivalent of the “blind planet” of a Chart, the one (...)

Introduction to the S.O.R.I. system

Introduction “Conditionalist language from traditional heritage is more universal than astrology. The functions of the R.E.T., although qualified as planetary, do not come from the stars but from the forces and structures of which they are the manifest vectors in the solar system. In its elementary digital form (interactions between one, two, many), at the atomic scale, the R.E.T. does not (...)

Subject perspective in the S.O.R.I.

In terms of Subject, each of us “see things his/her own way” (a popular expression that perfectly describes subjectivity). Each of us, whether we are aware of it or not, looks at, interprets and judges the outside world through the distorting glasses of our own history. A story made up of his beliefs, his sensitivity, his a priori, prejudices and biases hyper-conditioned by the education, the (...)

Object perspective in the S.O.R.I.

In terms of Object, everything changes. We come out of the reassuring den of our subjectivity, we strip ourselves of our prejudices, we decenter ourselves. Sure, it’s always noon at my door, but what time is it for someone else, whose door opens or closes in another time zone? The object is “that which… exists independently of the mind (opposed to the subject who thinks)”. The successful (...)

Relationship perspective in the S.O.R.I.

The Relationship is “the character of two objects which are such that a modification of one leads to a modification of the other.” Relationship is also a repository that has its own laws, organization and structures. It is possible to analyze the nature, properties and form of a Relationship independently of the respective qualities of the elements that constitute it. Is this relationship (...)

Integration perspective in the S.O.R.I.

Repository Integration can be defined as the set, or totality, within which Subjects and Objects are in Relation. On the level of Integration, the difference between Subject and Object is abolished, it no longer exists. There is only one big All. I inhabit the world that inhabits me. I am part of the Universe, and the Universe is part of me. At the Integration level, only the general climate, (...)

The issue of the meanings of the Houses

“Traditional” houses Few symbolist astrologers have offered coherent and systematic theories to justify the meanings attributed to the Houses. For most authors and schools of astrology, the meanings attributed to the Houses or sectors of the local sphere have their source in the analogy which is made between the annual zodiacal cycle of the planets (in the Aries-Pisces sense) and their cycle (...)

When we say that someone is intelligent, we usually refer to (...)

Introduction to planetary meanings

The three fields of the solar system The figure opposite represents the three fields of the solar system. The central field, which lies within the Earth’s orbit, includes the Sun, Mercury and Venus. The middle field includes Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The system Earth-Moon lies between the central field and the middle field. Finally, the far field contains the planets invisible to the naked (...)

Zodiac, planets and Jungian typology

A funny “discovery”… This sudden and late discovery is a little strange, given that the table of correspondences between Jungian types and zodiac signs which accompanied my article was never more than a systematic formatting of the correlations exposed by Jean-Pierre Nicola In The Solar Condition, the first conditionalist work published in 1964. We are thus led to pose the following (...)

The deplanetization of Pluto, a hysterical decision

Act 1: Pluto, Ceres, Charon, Xena… and the others This A.G. had in fact only one purpose: to determine according to which criteria to include or exclude Pluto from the planetary procession. Until 22nd August, there seemed to be a consensus around two criteria. The planets would be stars: ▶ 1) orbiting a star, but not a star; ▶ 2) sufficiently massive so that the effect of their own gravity (...)

Astrology, planetary functions and politics

Politikos, politeia & politikè Politics is a polysemous concept that covers different meanings. In its broadest sense, politics (from the Greek “politikos”, “from the city”) concerns the general framework in which any organized society operates. In this sense, “everything is political” (slogan of May 1968!), in the sense that every citizen is a stakeholder, dominant or dominated, active or (...)

Do we change character by changing Sun sign?

In fact, a fraction of a second is enough to pass from one Sign to another, to transform a bold lion in Cautious Virgo. On 23rd August, the Sun entered the sign of Virgo at 15:14 UT. One second before, we are Leo. A second later, we are Virgo. Apparently, this seems absurd… and it is indeed, all the more so since the times of birth are rarely absolutely exact, and in any case they never (...)

Sun Sign and Rising Sign

Astronomy of the Rising Sign (Richard Pellard) Word “Ascendant” comes from Latin “ascendere”, which means “which rises”. The Rising Sign, at the intersection of the ecliptic (apparent race of the Sun around the Earth) and the horizon, is the rising Sign. The calculation of the Ascendant is the basic operation which makes it possible to carry out the housekeeping, that is to say to the division of (...)

The world according to Claudius Ptolemy, astronomer-astrologer and lighthouse of Alexandria

From the early central Middle Ages (12th century) to the Renaissance (15th-17th centuries), Europe is rediscovering ancient Greek sciences and knowledge, ignored or lost sight of for a very long time, through the Latin translation of texts from the muslim scholars and Byzantines who had ensured its transmission. Two major characters then emerge, eclipsing their innumerable predecessors in (...)

Johannes Kepler, astrologer and astronomer

From son of a dog to seminarian Johannes Kepler was born on 17/12/1571 in Weil-der-Stadt in one of the most beautiful houses in a small village in southwestern Germany. His grandfather Sebaldus, a nobliau, was the mayor before his fortune took off and he was forced to survive by becoming a tanner. He reigns over a demented household where everyone hates, insults and watches each other. Her (...)

A new translation and edition of Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos

Richard Pellard: Pascal Charvet, you are a senior professor of classics. How did you become interested in Ptolemy, a scholar who lived in 2nd century AD and who was at the same time astrologer, astronomer, geographer and musician? Pascal Charvet: This is because for a very long time I have been passionate about ancient texts that have either not been edited, not translated or misunderstood. (...)

Nostradamus, astro-prophet or mythomaniac clairvoyant?

The astrological origin of prophecies In his preface to the famous prophetic centuries, dedicated to his son Caesar, Nostradamus leaves no doubt about his source of astrological inspiration: “Your late arrival, […] prompted me to print my long moments of continual nocturnal vigils, in order to leave the memory, beyond the death of your father, for the benefit of humanity, of what the divine (...)

It is the planets, and not the Signs, that deeply structure our behavior, the zodiacal influences being only secondary modulations of the planetary influences. From that side, Gérard (...)

History of Arabic astrology in the Middle Ages

The appearance of astrology in the Arab world Between the 9th and the 12th century, we are witnessing an unmistakable period of intellectual hegemony in the Arab-Muslim world, while the West sinks into the thick and inert cloud of ignorance of the Christian Middle Ages, stirred up only by a few storms of Byzantine theological disputes. When Islam was born in Arabia around 620 AD, the Arab (...)

Ptolemy and the error of the senestrogyrate Houses

A bit of history about the Houses Since the advent of computers, which allowed the creation of astronomical calculation software for use by astrologers, it also goes without saying that you can opt for the house system that we desire. One can thus instantly choose between the calculation system of the Houses of Placide, Porphyry, Dodecatropos, Regiomontanus, Firmicus Maternus, Rhetorius, (...)

Global astrology: a method

1990–1995: The World as a Graph: The Method The following study is an extension of the article that Jean-Pierre Nicola devoted in 1979 to forecasting methods. It uses the same method: it involves measuring the concentration or dispersion index of slow-moving planets (from Jupiter to Pluto) on the ecliptic. It is based on the same interpretative principle, the hypothesis being the following: (...)

Élizabeth Teissier’s avian flu

Still psychosis, I’m interested in you… Here is what we can currently read (in 2005) on the website of Calamity Germaine, graduate of zoology who comes out good: “We know that in 1918, in February, then, after a few months of interruption, in August and until the beginning of 1919, this avian plague which was called the Spanish flu caused between 20 and 100 million across the globe. dead — (...)

Élizabeth Teissier, Pluto in Scorpio & the AIDS epidemic

The failed prophecies of Élizabeth Teissier: “…in the summer of 1992, when it seems astrologically reasonable to hope that we will then be able to treat AIDS patients effectively. What seems to me to be able to be affirmed without possible ambiguity is, for the end of November 1995, the beginning of a total victory and without surrender over this terrible virus, which could (should!) then be no (...)
