Everything about astrological research
- Ray Murphy: This thread has been started so that anything
related to astrological research can mentioned, and I suggest that
challenging and questions should be very welcome if we are to make
some headway. Where will we start?

- Thank you Ganglion for the new test with excellent list of
events.
-
In the ADB you add his illness on July 1953, but this important
event is not in the list.

Rectification
Advice
- Hello Everybody, my name is Ian Murphy. I'm fairly new here but
i've been experimenting & reading up on astrology since 2018.
More recently, I've been trying to figure out how to go about
rectification. If anyone has any suggestions for me I'm all ears.
-
I kept seeing Isaac Starkman's Rectifications on Astro Databank &
decided to test them out using Johndro's system. Remarkably,
Starkman seems to have hit the nose nearly every time i generated
paragraphs. However, the stuff to run his app "Polaris"
keeps crashing on me. Anyone who is curious just download virtualbox
6.1.18 along with windows xp iso, transfer the files into the
virtualbox & then it should run.
-
I wanted to see other options out there & came across Hank
Friedman's ultimate guide when it comes to astro software. He did
not have polaris listed on his website from what i could tell so i
emailed him.
-
"Unless you are a Vedic astrologer who uses Varga charts to
rectify the birth time, there is no software that really makes a
difference, I've tested them all & they're worthless - Hank"
-
When asked about special techniques, he told me that western
rectifications were the most challenging & took many hours per
chart as opposed to vedic which is simple & takes minutes.
A
real Aquarian (case study, anecdotal information)
- Ray Murphy: Many years ago I was on a sub-committee that
was organizing an end of year astrology party (which included
entertainment) and it all went remarkably smoothly. Finally when all
the plans had been put in place we sat back congratulating
ourselves, I said to one of the other astrologers "Hasn't this
been an amazing experience -- all of us working together so well
without anyone actually leading us?"
-
She snapped back with a knowing smirk "Whaddya mean - No one
leading - I was put in charge of leading the group, but my Triple
Aquarius made me keep the groups ideas in mind first, instead of
just my own!"
Associating
words with chart factors (just another approach to prove the
truth of mime's)

Hi All, I will be writing a trial program that aims to show
astrological factors based on the frequent use of various words when
large amounts of general conversation or books etc are processed.
Astrodatabank
research tool now released (Just look and find as any fool could
expect. No mention of the usual standard error found in adbstats)
- Alois:
The new Astrodatabank research tool has now been released for
general use, after a few months of testing. It allows selection of
Astrodatabank data by numerous astrological criteria with many
combinations. Subscribers of the service 'extended data storage' can
also search their own database with the same search patterns:

Astrology
as divination (See also Geoffrey Cornelius: The Moment of
Astrology. Origins in Divination)
- Waybread:
After years of trying to get my head around the question of why
astrology works (if it does) I have been edging towards the answer
as divination. What do you think?
Waybread inspired me to write Statistiek
en astrologie volgens Dane Rudhyar (Dutch).
- Dit
is mijn kritische commentaar op een veelvuldig door astrologen
aangehaald artikel: Statistical Astrology and Individuality.
Maar waar ging het Rudhyar nu eigenlijk om: Kwaliteit op maat
verkiezen boven kwantiteit, zoals hij suggereerde?
astrology's
importance
- Mr. Chair:
How could astrology be important for society at this time or in the
future? Do any of you believe that your astrological work is
ultimately for the benefit of society, whether through small or
large contributions? Are there ways that people think astrology
could be applied beneficially if it's usefulness were demonstrated
to people in control (I'm using the term "people in control"
vaguely)? How has astrology been beneficial so far? How does this
contrast with how it is most often used?
Astrological
Research
- SandraCapi: Hi. This a beginner's question. I read
astrology books and articles where the author states, if the owner
of the astrologer chart has this aspect, this is likely to be true.
How have astrology statements been tested, or researched or proven?
For example a person with sun in aries is said to be more impulsive
than other signs. Has that ever been tested? I am sure it would be
hard to isolate chart factors for testing. Please do not give a
history lesson here. How is current astrology research done? And how
is past astrology proven? Where can I find this research?

studied distribution of birth dates in connection with a lifetime
using birth and death records and found there is a higher risk of
premature death exist for people born in certain seasons of an year
- for each geographiocal area correspond different season. Also I've

charts. My code repository: https://github.com/nadezhdin-ivan/shdt

've just had a look at the serial killers (more than one murder) and
was able to use 1642 with birth dates showing. I found it a bit slow
converting the file into an astrology research file (CSV format)
because the number of tab-delimited fields in your data varies.
-
I noticed that there are more Suns in tropical Leo + Aquarius, but
not enough to be impressive.
-
I also looked at aspects and found these:
-
(1) SUN con MOO < 10 degs =26% above the theoretical mean
-
(2) MOO con URA < 6 degs = 35% above the theoretical mean
-
These two things look very interesting indeed.
Al
Biruni
- Deborah Houlding: Why is the Al Biruni page biography so
bad? For all his wonderful achievements, all it says on him is:
"Arabic mathematician, historian, astronomer and astrologer. He
was notorious as a gross sensualist, infamous for excesses in food,
drink and sex. Died 12/13/1048 OS, Ghazni, Afghanistan."
-
Then gives link to WP which talks all about his achievements as an
astrologer and astronomer.
-
It is not often I think WP does a better job of detailing
astro-biographies than astrologers do, but this page on astro.com
must seem hugely offensive for those who live in the areas where
they celebrate his life and scientific achievements. This stuff
about him being some kind of sexual pervert - where is that coming
from?
-
I thought I would report as I wondered whether this page had been
hacked.

saying something about me to be asking it, but have other posters
noticed that besides the expected differences between people due to
chart factors and environment, that some people have difficulty in
accepting or even comprehending a FEW standard thought patterns or
customs?
-
I had never noticed it until several years ago, and then I
encountered several people like it.

How
do we resolve astrological sectarianism?
- Nader Abed:
When I got deep into astrology it became very apparent that many
have splintered off to whatever it was they were doing saying stuff
like 'astrology can/cannot do x or y' to meanings over the outer
planets and asteroids, to whatever house system was best, to
tropical vs sidereal accuracy, to whether hellenistic astrology was
outdated, etc. I have been wondering if astrologically, all of this
sectarianism can be resolved.
Goede vraag. Ik denk nooit. Alleen een gek als Putin die met de
atoombom knoppen speelt denkt het in zijn hand te hebben. Maar een
enkele kogel of iets in de thee is al genoeg om die gek te doden.
Zoals hij ook aldoor met zijn vermeende opponenten afrekende.
Corfirmation
Bias - does it undermineastrology?
- Apostrophe: I have been through quite a dramatic shift in
my worldview in the past few years, vaguely summarized by a
questioning of faith based belief systems like religion and
astrology and a greater reliance on critical thinking and science.
-
Lee Rutland: Well, unfortunately, confirmation bias is used
in every field, from history, to the Theory of Evolution, to global
warming. There is no escaping it.
Lee Rutland maakt hier ogenschijnlijk een punt. Het is een pot nat.
Want ook in iedere wetenschap kan bias een rol spelen. Daarom doen
normale wetenschappers hun best om bias te voorkomen. En bespreken ze
ook publiekelijk de tekortkomingen (flaws) van hun empirisch
onderzoek.
Het werkelijke probleem hier is dat Astrology niet aan die
wetenschappelijke regels voldoet. En dus bestaat ze niet.
De astrologen die Astrology als een real science propageren,
gedragen zich namelijk eerder als een beter wetend Ego dan als zijn
Inner Observer. Ze gaan bij hun speculaties over de wereld teveel van
hun toevallig aangeleerde boekenkennis en tradities uit dan van de al
bestaande empirische kennis.
Death
prediction in astrology
- Forum Admin: Chart deleted by moderator, rule violation.
-
...
-
Forum Admin: Be sure that we would not permit the planning of
war, murder or suicide on the forum. Not everything needs to be
written in the rules, we can make them up as situations come along.
We also expect some common sense in this community. As can be seen
in many responses, it is in fact there. We have nothing against
astrologers doing predicions of any kind in their private office,
sitting face to face with their clients whom they have known over a
long time, and who are paying them. There, they may predict illness
and death as much as their client is willing to take. What an
astrologers does in his practice is within his domain of
responsibility. What is clear to me is that astrologers who play the
game of death prediction are not in it "to help their clients".
They are in it because they feel it gives them tremendous power.
-
...

This power game has been played by some astrologers since
millennia. Just do not play it on our forum.

Waybread: Horary astrology operates differently, but if
anyone here has mastered its methods sufficiently to confidently
assert the snuff-out date for another human being, they can do this
in some other venue. (Really? What is the evidence?)
Elementally
deficient?
- Waybread:
Are you "low" in a given element in your chart-- or do you
care about someone in this situation? How does it manifest? (Asking
for the confirmation bias)
U kunt over deze vraag in een individueel geval eindeloos speculeren,
maar uiteindelijk gaat het om de gevonden feiten in groepen. En dan
is de meest voor de hand liggende onderzoeksvraag: Zijn bepaalde ADB
categorieën astrologisch gezien gebrekkig in iets? Maar als we
in die groepen niets bijzonders zien, dan valt de logica en
aannemelijkheid van uw astrologische hypothese wel uit elkaar.
Enneagram
and astrology- share your thoughts
Enneagrams
- cynthpoet:
I took an Enneagram
Personality Test and came up as a Type 4 (The Romantic/Artist)
with Type 2 (The Helper) being the next highest result--all others
were so low that they did not even count. Since Enneagram testing
takes one's Sun Sign into account, how accurate is this field of
study in fleshing out one's personal understanding of the self?
exercise
- guessing game
- Hi everyone!
-
Many years ago we used to do mystery exercises or guessing games. It
was a great and fun way to practice, to test your skills, and to
learn.
-
It worked like this: someone would post a chart providing a few
options; all of them were false except for just one. Other forum
members guessed which option was the right one, based on
astrological reasoning. The winner had the privilege to post the
next mystery chart and so on.
-
We usually gave a whole week for each exercise before providing the
right answer to the forum members. A week was more than enough time
for everyone to check the chart and think about their answer.
-
So, here is the first one. I'll be posting the right answer next
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020.
-
-------
-
Only one answer is correct.
-
This is the chart of a man who is a:
-
1. Perfumist setenced to jail for poisoning his only child.
-
2. Priest and teacher secretly tormented by his latent homosexuality
and pedophilia.
-
3. Jewelry seller and scammer with a serious drinking problem.
-
4. Local news reporter killed in an explosion while covering a
story.
-
Which answer do you think is the right one and why?
Is
all astrology valid?

I think of astrology as being most closely analogous to math and its
applications.
-
Both are formal symbolic systems with methods for manipulating their
symbols. Those rules, which ultimately are based on assumptions, are
applied to various fields (eg medical astrology, etc). The astrology
case of doing that is broadly similar to applied math for science
and engineering (and less formal use).
-
In both cases, all levels are subject to learning through
experience, and development over time. Fundamental math and science
have better developed methodology (the study of methods) than
astrology does. But they are still subject to these constraints.
-
Both have applications that can be better or worse developed. Both
can have more or less rigorous methods for assessing "logical"
consistency, and for assessing accuracy and precision of their
representations and their use.
-
So it's only natural that like math and its application, astrology
has fields where the state of knowledge is more or less developed
and valid vs bunkum.
-
I find the above a useful and practical way of thinking about
astrology and its nature. The "royal sciences".
3-way
combinations.
- When checking my chart for a possible correlation with a
long-ongoing skin complaint (yeah-yeah, s.p. EmMN-Asc.!), I added
the quintiles and bi-quintiles aspects.
-
To my surprise, it showed a triangle between Moon-Jupiter-Uranus
....2 Bi-quintiles to a quintile base.
