There are four Signs left … then we deep dive into Planets, then Houses.
There we will get past the glyphs which fo the language of astrology, and get into the terms in more depth.
Then we can draw in associations of Tarot and Qabalah.
Then, we work through to erectíng say, twenty horoscopes.of historical figures.

Next will come the Planets and their Characteristics, the seven classic planets and the two lunar nodes, Cauda Draconis and Caput Draconis..
I am still reviewing the planets and making the sense of the dignity exaltation the fall etc. I should have read it that is, the lesson, by early evening today.
Of course what I intended was not what occurred. I did read five pages before falling asleep.
I will try to do the reading and make some notes here by the afternoon.
Need to do reading and update with my written notes.
I think the wrap-up for the signs should’ve been done four days ago. I’m moving on to Lesson 2, and will try to update sooner and at once.
One last note on Signs - Dual Rulership
The ancients who could classify behavior of individuals in certain groups, could easily prattle off pros and cons of a person or would take it upon themselves to yay or nay a person for a position for the ruler of the area.
At the same time, maps of the stars were being developed and they came up with classes for the group’s based on arrangements of the stars and their effect on a given month.
Eventually they had advanced astrology as a science dueto the lack of knowledge of astronomy. Eventually the table of science turned, and astrology became more of a subjective science and a lesser s ience but greater art as it tied into what would become psychology.
But the knowledge and prediction of more and more planets were kept as a side conversation between the astronomers and astrologers … But a problem surfaced.
A few signs were attributed to the luminaries, Leo and Cancer, Sun and Moon. As for the rest, some did not fit into Planets and thus were born co-rulers of the signs.
Earth .. possibly Taurus. The jury is still out.
Mercury - Gemini, Virgo
Venus - Taurus, Libra
Mars - Aries, Scorpio
Jupiter - Sagittarius, Pisces
Saturn - Capricorn, Pisces
Sun - Leo
Moon - Cancer
Then there were three … three large stars were eventually discovered as planets, Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus.
To Neptune went Pisces. To Pluto went Scorpio, and to Uranus was to be determined.
Cauda Draconis, the North node of the Moon, and Caput Draconis, the south node, were discovered to have Uranus and Neptune behavior.
Onto the planets.
On my reading list for daily reading, so they pages on planets will be read today.
Work on this is delayed as O.A.A. studies have taken higher priority for self preservation.
Will comment later.
Geomancy study has to be done (Greer, Regardie and King and Skinner are sources) first.
Then Astrology.
Then O.A.A. Lesson one and Lesson two for First Flame exercises.
Then Middle Pillar Ritual before bed.
No planetary or Formula work done today.
Tomorrow is my new week start..will see what the morning holds.
