Book IV – Astrologia Munda Appendix IV «…and Jupiter have dominion in that place, or if he assists the Lord of the Ascendant, and the Lord of the fourth house at that time is free from misfortune…» Abu Ma’shār however says, «…especially if it (Jupiter) has a dignity in it and if the Lord of the Ascendant is made fortunate, together with the safety of the Lord of the fourth …» Now here there are some rather significant differences. Abu Ma’shār does not say if Jupiter assists the Lord of the Ascendant as Ramesey does. Abu Ma’shār has simply said that if the degree of the lunation applies to Jupiter and the Lord of the Ascendant is made fortunate! The Lord of the Ascendant can be made fortunate in several ways not just from an aspect of Jupiter; e.g. if it was witnessed by the luminary of the chart or any fortunate planet, or if it was in any strength in a place of dominion, or in a profitable house in the chart (the Ascendant, 11 th , 10 th , 5 th , with the Part of Fortune etc) and angular or succedent! Ramesey’s statement sharply curtails the possibilities rather than leave several options as Abu Ma’shār indicates. Lastly, Ramesey writes, «…and the application of the Ascendant of that law or the change of triplicities, applying to the place of Jupiter or Venus by conjunction or aspect, there shall be plenty at that year of such things as the earth does produce; especially if the Lord of the second house assist or apply unto the Lord of the Ascendant by a good and friendly aspect. This shall be more assuredly confirmed if the Part of Fortune has power and dignity there in that place, because those signify plenty upon plenty.» Here it is clear Ramesey does not totally grasp everything to which Abu Ma’shār is referring. Abu Ma’shār instead writes, «…and the terminal point of the year from the ascendant of the religion, or of the shift of the triplicity, arrives at the position of Jupiter or Venus by aspect or by ray, fertility occurs in that year, especially if the Lord of the second is making the Lord of the Ascendant fortunate, or applies to it, or aspects it from a fortunate position, especially if the Lot of Fortune aspects it; then it is an indicator of an increase in fertility.» 288
Book IV – Astrologia Munda Appendix IV In Abu Ma’shār’s text, we find important elements that are missing from Ramesey’s text. One very important element is that Abu Ma’shār is pointing the reader to another «beginning» chart. One chart Abu Ma’shār uses extensively is the chart of the annual Ingress of the Great Conjunctions when they changed from one triplicity to another. His reference to «ascendant of the religion» is a specific reference to the chart he uses throughout his book; i.e. the chart of the annual Revolution for the year the Great Conjunction shifted to the water triplicity indicating the rise of the Islamic Religion. The «terminal point of the year» is the profected ascendant of that chart! More important though, and for this reason one has to read his entire book and not take things out of context, is that Abu Ma’shār is only referring the reader to use the profected ascendant of some «beginning chart». In his case, he was specifically using the chart of the rise of the Islamic Dynasty in his discussions. A beginning chart of some Dynasty, however, is not always the chart of the shift of the Great Conjunction to another triplicity. A «beginning chart» was any chart of the annual Revolution (or Aries Ingress) of the particular year some new Dynasty began! In the context of the above discussion then, Abu Ma’shār says that in the Revolution of the Year of some particular nation or dynasty, if the profected ascendant degree (where 30º = 1 year) of the «beginning» chart of that nation was conjunct either Venus or Jupiter in the chart of the Yearly Revolution, by aspect or conjunct (by ray), then it was an indication the year would be fruitful and fertile! A practical example of this is let us suppose you were examining the Yearly Revolution for Israel (2006). One would need to look to the «Beginning chart» for the nation of Israel. That chart, let us also suppose, is the yearly Ingress chart for 1948. The beginning chart has 14º X 43’ as the cusp of the Ascendant. The terminal point (profected Ascendant) in 2006 would then be 14º b 43’. If Jupiter or Venus in the 2006 Ingress was conjunct that degree (or within their orbs or rays) or their aspect was to that degree, then we would say it indicates a fruitful, profitable and fertile year. If on the other hand it should fall within the rays of a malefic, then we would say the contrary! It just so happens that a malefic does aspect by degree, the degree of the terminal point in the 2006 annual Ingress; i.e. the Ingress Mercury (dispositor of Mars in the 8 th ) is 14º M 20’ in its detriment, fall, and Rx casting its aspect to the profected degree at 14 º b 41’. At the moment, I am writing this, (July 21, 2006), Israel is engaged in a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon which is taking a toll on both sides. In stead of fertility, war is making barren both nations! 289
