.t\t the first session of th.e second neeting on October Z3rd,

your Editor spoke on the Horoqcope of irgosti_no chigi. fhe
subject of the lecture is ffi

Agostino Chigi was banker to the Pope in the l5th centu.ry and
a very prosperous nerchant. TLre'date of his birtir is not kno'ur.n'
He vras born in Sienna, but spent most of his life in Rone lrhere lie
built a p a l a c e , n h i c h i s n o v t k n o v , , - :acs t h e t r ' a r n e s e F a l a c e , It vras
intended f or his pleasure and relaxation, .where he, entertained his
guests. Various artists of the School of Raphael i,vere conr::rission-
ed to decorate it and the paintings nvhich adoin the wal1s are,
entirely pagan in subject.

I n t h e r o o m . k n o ' u r na s t h e S a t a G a l a t c a , t h e r e E , r e a s e r i e s o f
plctures round the upper half of the r.,iir,rrs thr-r,t have greetly
puzz}ed the art historians, sincc the subjccts did noi coincide
with any of the r:yths" tr'or insttancc, ttierc is a picture of .,l;pollo
vtithaCentaur-andthereisnonyth.t}ratconnectitheseti.,to..
Tkre late Dr. F. Saxl, fornerly hea-d of the Warburg Institute of the
Un]vglsity of London, hit on the idea that these fic;t,ures represen-
ted chigits horoscope. fhus, the cor:bination of gpoIlo and itre
Centaur stood for the Eun in Sagittarius
"
Tr'ith the help of Dr. H. Beer of Canbridge University, Dr. Saxl
ir,'orkedout the horcscope according to the position of thb'plane.ts
shovrn in the pictures - for exa:lple Jupiter in Taurus and.saturn
in Pisces, both of v,rhich are shovrn in ttre paintings. Tb.e conclu-
sion they came to uas that chigi \rl,s born bn Decei:rber r, L466.

t r ' f l k r ern studi ed and checked the horoscope given by Dr. saxl
in his book of leslgres (I,ondon university,-to5?), r ibuno that the
position of sor:e of the planets did not tatly with those given in
the,pictures. Mcrcury, for instance, was irr $agittarius ind L,{ars
in scorpio, when in the paintings th6y are shoun as being i.n
Scorpio and Libra respec'bively. I cal:re to the conclusion that the
 -J

?rtist had painted the horoscope in the zodiac of the constel-

latioris. TLreayanamsha f or this - &ccording to the tleories of
-
+- 9y_"i1 r"agan woul-d have been approxii:iatery r7 degrees in
t
the 15th century. As soon as r tri-el this, ari ilie planets
iP?eared i n t h e i r c o r r e c t p o s i t i o n s i n a c c 6 r d ance v,rith the paint-
I'ngs. T}ie nosb interesting was Jupiter, r s h o v u ' a si h u s r e m o v e d t o
the cusp of .{.ries and raurus. rn ttre picture, ,the planet is
shoyn vith Europa and the 3u1l-, ir','hile in the background, there is
the figure of a Rarn apparently hurrying away.
Tlie arrangenent of the paintings and the fact that the con-
stellations of Perseus, Pegasus and the Great Bear appear on the
ceiling suggest that chigi ts rising sign is also given, and that
it is leo.

the Eoroscope Cotlection of the "A,strologica1 Association

John addey
One of the difficulties with which the student of Astrology
has to contend is that of' finding tire particu.lar :::ap or rxaps i;-
vrhich he is interested. T T r em a p h e r - e q u i r , € s r n a y t b i n o n e o f

This aspect of the work presents many difficulties and will

require careful planning. I,ittle need be said about it nowr but
assistance will be sought lrrhenrequired "

4. lQqrrqpj lnaps

One of the purposes of the Association ts Map Coll'ection

will be to keep up'-to-date r,vith topical maps of world events and
personaliiies. To th.is end it is necessary that the Records
Section shoul-d have attached to it. if possible, a number of
students who nj.Il mn,keit their business to keep n eye on some a
aspect of current affairs" I,{aps of this kind r,vhich are Iikely
to be of p e r m a n e n t interestwill not be very nunerous and this
vork should be interesting without being burdensoine.
','ietherefore invite t h o s e o f o u r m e m b e r s r , v h oa r e r e a s o n a b l y
'rnerrs conscj.ousil to offer their serviccs in this department by
taking on sone aspect of current af fairs, f or exaraple, poLi.tics,
sport, national disasters o r a n y o t h e r subject iryhich:interests
thern.

It is likewise hoped to lrave representatives o f t h e l ' , [ a pC o l -

lection abroad vrho lzi11 keep us up-to-date r , v i t h important events
and personalities in their country of residence" SeVeraI such
'
representatives ?rave already been secured.

Other Facilities of ihe Records Section

The Council of the .A.ssociation have in mind other services

which wifl be undertaken by the Records Section. tr'or example,
standard collections of birth-data p u b l i s h e d in o t h er countries
ril-I be carried by the Records Officer in order to. proviOo a
vrider range of reference than could bc naintained by the indivi-
dua] student.

Again, it is hoped to photograph some of the sets of statis-

tical- birth data, - (e'g. 1r000 cases. of longevity, 1200 lawyers,
etc" shoning noon positions and So on), novr in private hands so
that these l:,'ill- be availabfe to those',irho vrish to undertake re-
search work.

Tptll_ary Directions

Brigadier R,C. tr'irebrace'

Ttre discoverer of Tertiary Dircctions was Herr Troinski

of West 3erlin r , i r i r om a d e p u b l i c t l i e t h e o r y i n J u l y 1 9 5 L . , H e
has writben various books on tlie subject but unfortunately
for Snglish readers,, lhey have not yet been translated from
the original Gerrnan, tr'or those ldth a knowledge of German,
these books wiIl lrelI repay st'udy, as Herr Troinski give s
numerous exarnpies proving the efficacy of these directions.

Tertlary Directlons are lunar directions, based on the

measure that one tropical ]unar r:onth after birth is equi-
valent to one day after birth. In other rr/ords, for every
tropical Junar nonth after birth, one day nust be added to
the birthdate and the progressed horoscope is then calcula-
tedfor the birth plaoe and the birth tir.re" Although it is
possible to calculate this date fron the ephenerides, tables
facilitating this work have been issued to all Lfenbers of
the Association wlth instructions for their us€. TLre caLcu-
lation is perfectly easy a.nd does not involve any itore
eff ort than the calcu.l-ati on of Secondary Directions.

Troinski has not rejected Secondary Directions but he

and others recognise that they are too few in nu;rber tc ec-
count for the nurlcrous events in the average life. Terti-

As rvith other systens, the planets vriLl form progressed

effective. Sone of the nore striking aspects forr:ed being

ruler of the Soviet Unlon under stars sinil-ar to those
under
rihich Hitler became the Overl_ord of Germany.

3'or 1958, Troinski f s vier,.rsnay be summed

up shortly
as f oll-oyls: -

1. IIo thi rd v,rorl_drrrar in lg5g

2o A serious political upsei in the Sprlng
3. fntensification cf the Cotd Tfar
4- outbreak of a Iocal .;ar in l,*rich the soviet union would
be involved

5. Danger of vfar at the end cf rg5g and the beginning of lgbg

. .rn the'n'ain, events in the Near rast have verified tliis

prediction, although to ciate there has not been more than
loeal but serious disturbances in the Near East. The nain
dilficulty in prophesy is to estirnate the severity or trre--
affliction.

in 'rihich the erements fire, earth, air and vletei act. Tkre
qualities are called cardinar, fixed and mutabre, and there
is one of each quality fcr each efement.

The ,cardinal signs are the signs of action" Aries,

cancgrr'I,ihra and canricorn. rlrey are the pioneers rr-,'ho'rike
to start afresh, and they like to get thing-s done. Tkrey
correspond with the beginning of each neu season, that is
"'?ith the equinoxes, and the solstices. fhey are'the signs
that start things acccrding to the erement to which they
ap?ly. The nost typic:l of a1l cardinal signs is Aries
because he is thc beginning of the ycar and the first of the
creative fire signs.

being sururxer or winter, spring or auturnn. They show resis-
tance to change and they seek stabirity, Ttrey are the great
upholders of status quo and they do not believe that anyttri.ng
is achieved by destruction" rndeeci, this is vrhat they iear
nost. People born under the fixed signs are often very gocd
as heads of establisLred businesses and institutlons or in
government, tr'or they are builders on the founde.tions raid by
the cardinals. fhe most typicar of the fixed signs is Taurls,
because earth is basically unchanging, except by very srow
processes.

And finally we come to the mutables, Geniini, Virgo,

Pisces and sagittarius, who are also calied the conrnon iigns,
tlrese are tlie signs of change" They anaryze and enquire and
lhey often end by destroying';rhat the rix-ed signs Hdve estab-
lished and w'hat perhaps is ln danger of becor,ring too settled.
