In the olden, pre-computer days, we learned to set up the chart doing the maths and using the ephemeris and tables of houses. I knew I was truly interested in becoming an astrologer when I, not a math person, was willing to do this! The word siderial reminds me of that time...now I surrender to Solar Fire. It made it much easier to calculate the lunar and solar returns and quickly see transets. But I have to admit that calculating the birth chart 'by hand' gave me an instant connection to the energy that was somehow deeper than the speedy, easy way.
Lovely comment!! I agree that astrology makes math exciting! And also that math came from these celestial calculations in the first place.
Actually took astronomy in college to fulfill my math requirement, needing the numbers to be related to something tangible rather than abstract.
It’s interesting to think about how technology puts so much at our fingertips and yet is what is lost through the direct observation and casting a chart by hand? Grateful to hear your reflections on this.
I went down the rabbit hole of wanting to draw up my own chart, but couldn’t quite gather the resources or didn’t have the guidance to do it. Still in the cards!
That's something one of the famous astrologer is teaching again. It might be Demetra George. I wish I had it clear in my mind but I would really have to go back to the 70s and channel my teacher! LOL
I got only one reply so far. Maybe she can be contacted for your purpose...good luck! Meira Epstein teaches courses for people who plan to take the NCGR Level 1 Certification. There should be a link on the NCGR website, but if not, a person can contact Meira personally and inquire about her next series of classes for Level I.
