DE LA INFORMACIÓN Y LA FORMULACIÓN DE LA CUENTA PÚBLICA DEL DISTRITO EDERAL

This question was asked on July 24. 1988 at 22.03 CEST, Sortland,

Norway, 68N40 15E20, and prior to the birth of my second child. The question occurs because the local priest had stalled on his heels with second thoughts regarding whether he wished to baptise our child and accept it as a member of his congregation. His

reluctance and fear was due to my practice as an astrologer, which was in a sharp contrast and conflict with his personal convictions.

I am presenting two different drawings of this chart. The first one is drawn by a computer but shows it all wrong. The second is my hand-drawn chart that puts the MC in the south, as it should be, and the ascendant is located towards the north, as this the area along the local horizon where the ecliptic actually does rise. In the outer ring of the hand-drawn chart I have indicated those degrees that do not cross the horizon at that latitude in either south or north. There is no Midnight Sun in October, but it can be seen that the

culminating degrees on the Midheaven are sub-terrestrial level and bellow the Earth. Hence, the celestial dish is performing its daily phase of topple.

Fig. B – When the chart is draw by hand, the astronomy of the moment appears in its actual fashion.

The ascendant is retrograde in the late degrees of Taurus, but these now become early due to the motion of ascension. The question is in fact early, since the child is not born at the time of asking. I took the ascendant conjunct the cluster of the Pleiades to be my

significator, together with the Venus, ruler of the ascendant, who I found in Gemini on the cusp of the 4th_.

I am a home father at the time of the question. Still practicing astrology, but on the main I am at home looking after our first child while the mother was at work. Venus, ruler of the 1st _{house is in the}

4th _{house in the sign of Gemini. Our first child is a daughter born in}

the sign of Gemini. Regarding the Pleiades I believe this represents the Lamp of Aladdin that has a Genie with hidden treasures bottled up inside. I feel this deals with astrology that is a forgotten treasure that is having difficulty in getting out and being shared and

appreciated in the everyday world. I am also represented by Jupiter in the 1st _{house who is in detriment, yet holds his own face in the}

beginning of Gemini. Much of my time in North Norway was spent writing astrological manuscript that never was published, yet in

parts. Note that Jupiter is Lord of the Midheaven that is hidden beneath the Earth. By moving to the north, I had chosen to postpone my own commercial interests and give priority to the professional opportunities of my spouse and my interest in our family.

Our unborn child is represented by the cusp of the 5th _{house at}

22GE50 and its lord, Mercury at 21CN38. Mercury is in the sign of Cancer, as the mother is carrying the child within her. Later, on September 6, a health boy born in the sign of Virgo, ruled by Mercury. He did suffer from trouble with the eyes at birth (a

bacteria and infection), later from close-sightedness and especially the left as indicated by the sign of Cancer. Pleiades on the

ascendant does also have a reputation of disturbances to the sight. Lastly, there is the Moon, who is the dispositor of Mercury and co- significator in the question. She is at 4SG38 and square the degree of the next Lunar eclipse at 4PI23. This is also an indication of obstacle and impediment.

The Moon has several meanings in this chart. She is in an exact trine to Mars who is both in his own sign and own face at 4AR38. The ascendant needed 6 degrees to reach the opposition of the Moon and the sextile of Mars and the baby boy was born exactly 6 weeks later on September 6. 1988. The child was healthy and sound, but of my children – this was the most challenging of births. The mother was pushed to her limits and had to work hard. As for myself I almost fainted. The perfection of any aspect between the Moon and Mars, who are natural enemies, this will not occur without some trouble and labor but I hope the degree of the lunar eclipse had something to do with it, or else we are in trouble.

I gave the cusp of the 7th _{house at 28SC34 to signify the clergyman}

of the church, since his function in the respect of this question, is nothing different than that of a physician or doctor. He is

represented by the lord of the 7th_{, Mars in Aries, and the Moon in}

Sagittarius in the 7th _{house. Scorpio on the 7}th _{shows him}

predisposed and suspicious, although with Mars in Aries – I am sure he also would have been considered a good Shepard. The Moon in Sagittarius indicates him to be an agent for the church, and

although the Moon and Mars were in an amicable trine, the Moon was wearied by square the degree of her eclipse in Pisces. The priest was in the situation of a conflict in faith. The Moon is located at 4SG38 and needs no more than 1°30 to move into the dark degrees, but consider also that she has 5° of latitude south of the ecliptic. Her declination is 26S03 and her placement already 2°30 beneath the horizon. From this condition I judged the priest’s

reluctance and his wish to wane from the opportunity of introducing an astrologer to his church.

The cusp of the 9th _{house, of the church, is also in the in sub-}

terrestrial degrees at 17SG19, as it is true that various authorities of the church have abandoned the teaching of astrology from the face of Earth. However, Jupiter, Lord of the 9th_{, 10}th_{and dispositor of the}

Moon, is in my first house and in it’s own face. This is a condition that Lilly says with keep a person in dignity and out of trouble, so that he neither looses his pose nor gets thrown out of his place of residing.

The priest consulted his colleagues and finally it was decided in advantage of the baptism, as we had wished. The Christening of Jonathan, our newborn Son, occurred on October 9. 1988, 11 weeks after the moment of the question. Mercury, lord of the 5th _and

significator of the new baby, was directed 11° forward to the body of the Sun in Leo at the time of the event. Mars, lord of the 7th_{, who}

was in a perfect trine to the Moon at the time of the question, had on October 9. by transit retrograded to 2AR07 and moved into perfect trine to the Sun in the horary and closed the gap of a grand trine involving the luminaries.
