Stoa – Als die vernunftgemäss gestaltende und erhaltende Kraft ist die Pronoia mit dem Logos und der Physis identisch. Sie ist die Gottheit von einer bestimmten Seite her gesehen. Unter einem anderen Gesichtspunkt erscheint dies als Heimarmene. – Max Pohlenz: Die Stoa – Geschichte einer geistigen Bewegung – Seite 101 ff.

Planetary time periods which refer to the ruling planets and their state in particular times. – The Sanskrit term „dasha“ in Hindu astrology is used to indicate planetary periods. The planetary periods indicate when the good or bad effects are produced according to their placement by sign (Rasi), house (Bhava), combinations (Yogas or Raja Yogas) or aspects (Drishti). – Each dasha is controlled by one of the nine planets, and the quality and relative benevolence of each period is determined by the condition and position of that planet in the natal chart. There are nine planets or grahas which severally rule the nine dashas: the seven classical planets, plus the north node, Rahu, and south node, Ketu, of the Moon.
Saturn to be planetary hour ruler. This would make Saturn the starting point for ‘Lord of the Orb’ and rotate in that order. So at age 7 the Lord of the Orb would rotate back to Saturn once again. – Almutem is Jupiter.

Annual Profections
is an ancient Hellenestic Astrology method of seeing what a theme or area of focus will be for your Solar year, and a key Planet (your “timelord”), based on your Natal Chart. – Using the whole sign House system, starting with the Rising Sign as the 1st House, this will count as your 1st House Profection Year for your first year after birth. Then, in your second year of life, you will move into a 2nd House Profection Year and so on. Every twelve years you will come back to the same House Profection. – Based off of your own personal Natal Chart, the House that is activated for you for the year will also be in a certain Zodiac Sign, and the Planetary ruler of that Sign will be particularly significant for you for that period. It will also activate any personal Planets you have in that House. – It is basically a way of “profecting”, or moving forward, your Rising Sign every birthday. You can also profect your main luminay (Sun Sign for Day Charts and Moon Sign for Night Charts) for more information.
Astrology as the teaching of Primordial Principles not of the stars or planets. – Therefore the Planets can never be causes – only signs as representative for one of the seven Primordial Principles – now ten. – As above so below. – The Horoscope as the teaching and learning Plan for the life of the Individual. – Lord not my will, but your will be done. – Theurgy (Greek θεουργία theourgía „work of God“) is an ancient term for religious rites and practices that were intended to enable people to make contact with divine beings and obtain help from them. The practitioner is called a „theurgist“.

Die hermetische Gemeinschaft in Harran nannte sich „Sabier“ ab 830 n.Chr. um der Vernichtung durch den damaligen Kalifen zu entgehen.Sie übernahmen 830 AD diese Bezeichnung, um als Buchreligion anerkannt zu werden, was Ihnen auch bis ca. 1250 nChr. auch erfolgreich gelang. s. dazu:

„The twelfth-parts produce a secondary zodiacal position for each planet and point in the chart. It is as if each point is projected into an additional hidden zodiacal position.
There are four main ways in which the twelfth-parts were used in Hellenistic astrology:
1. …
2. …
3. The twelfth-part of the Ascendant revealed thoughts/intentions;
4. Twelfth-part positions gave additional information about planetary significations that are on par with the natal positions of the planet.“
Dr. Benjamin Dykes explored the use of twelfth-parts in considerable depth in his translation of and commentary on Hermann of Carinthia’s “The Search of the Heart”.
„The primary use of this technique in medieval astrology was to anticipate a client’s area of concern. This usage appears to have started in Indian and/or Hellenistic use of consultation charts. This use of consultation charts preceded, and likely lead to, the development of horary astrology.“

As long as Decans and Dodekatemorien are not fully understood by me for my Genethlialogy practise and Triplicity remains to be fully integrated as well as all of Vettius Valens I’m very content to leave everything from Ptolemy and onwards for other people to be concerned with. Aphesis – Zodiacal Releasing alone is unbelievable complex if You follow the Webinars with Martien Hermes and that’s just from Spirit. Maybe I have to meet personally with Nechepsos and Petosiris like Jung did in the Red Book. That certainly would be OK with Valens. Maybe he did just that.
I belong to the disíntegration group (keine Transsaturnier, Chirons, Asteroiden oder Eres)- I come from the modern and am now without anything after Lilly and am even critical of his Regiomontanus – and I don’t miss anything and I’m very sceptical about the modernness of Morinus.
