Announcements and Upcoming Events for 2019
Traditional western astrology can be understood as having three phases,
Hellenistic, Medieval, and Renaissance. Our focus will be medieval, under
the influence of the Islamic empire- interestingly, the astrological practitioners
of this period are predominately Jewish and Christian. We will examine factors
used in interpretation not used in modern practice (i.e. lunation preceding birth,
the arabic parts, including the Radix Vitae (Latin for root of the life, which will
indicate the purpose of the incarnation), and the influence of planets in
relationship to the passage of time, or "time lords"). We will also review the
concept of fate and free will.
*****************************************************************************
Joe Simon is a follower of traditional philosophy, as such, we have the opinion that
everything is sacred, and wisdom is always available to humankind. In astrological
studies he is a student of the medievalist, Robert Zoller. Joe has been a student of
astrology for about 48 years; after 48 years of study one develops an intuitive
understanding of the art, which he is really looking forward to.
And we, at Northern IL NCGR are looking forward to welcoming Joe here, from Ohio,
where he resides!

The focus will be on how astrological houses were used in traditional practice.
In modern practice all factors of a nativity as seen as character traits of the native;
in traditional astrology they indicate other people and the nature of events. They are
a key to outcomes in our lives, that is, prediction. We will examine how houses are
used in natal interpretation, as well as their derivative meanings vis-a-vis other
factors in the nativity. Bring your horoscopes.
