The Houses & Ancient Number Theory
Hellenistic astrology was born into the world by people who understood the sacredness of numbers. In astrology, we think of the planets and signs as having personalities. But what if numbers have personalities too? And what if these numeric personalities could explain what the houses mean in astrology, according to their number?
This talk links Pythagorean number theory with the astrological houses, presenting striking parallels between them. By exploring number theory through the Thema Mundi, the Exaltation Scheme, and the Planetary Joys, we can begin to trace the mathematical — and perhaps magical — roots of ancient astrology.
The download includes a 2.5 hour talk and the slides as a pdf.
