The Radical Moment- From Horary to Natal and Back Again. presented by Damian Rocks 1 M.A. Bath Spa Uni, Adv.Dip Astro FAA, Dip Ayur.
A Starting Point Radicality is important Anchors a chart to the matrix of a specific situation ~ provides context Powerful tool for predictive work ~ new methodology Suggests opportunity for research 2
Definitions The birth chart (radix) A chart that can be read Correspondences between chart / querent / moment (natal to election) The original chart (horary) Correlations between original chart and subsequent editions (birth to horary). 3
Radix & Roots Radicality: It s important to distinguish between the chart itself being radical and the question being radical. People tend to focus on the technicalities of the horary chart; the agreement between the Lord of the Ascendant and the Lord of the Hour, and so on. But when you read the traditional astrology texts, the old astrological authorities are talking about the question being radical, not the chart itself..the meaning of the word radical is rooted, or the rootedness of the question in the querent s soul - Deborah Houlding 4
Rooted in the Moment Need is needed Divination: Knowing what the Divine is doing, what the state of the spiritual underpinning of reality is. It is prophecy in the original sense of the word, not the prediction of the future, but the explanation of the present. - Robert Hand 5
Elections Need is needed Essential consideration in electional astrology. A moment can only be considered meaningful if it links back to the natal chart 6
Trump Campaign Launch Launch chart links to natal Sun, Moon, Nodes. Highlights Martian themes. We would expect this to be the case for a serious contender - radical 7
Horary Does the chart match the person asking the question? Does the chart match the known circumstances? 8
Client Work Radicality is a tool that can help improve your practice Sharpens predictive technique Brings underlying themes to the surface Useful when time is unknown 9
Client Work Good predictive work depends on context. Rather than attempting to answer what will happen, seek to illuminate why things are as they are. 10
Client Work Horary charts can be read like event charts. The moment that a person sits down to construct a request (define their need) is the point at which they begin to participate in their own experience - so generating a radical chart 11
A Modern Methodology Email and other technology allows you to locate the precise time and place that a person decides to take action. Expect this chart to connect back to the birth chart a meaningful way, as well as describe current circumstances 12
A Modern Methodology Use the time and place from which an email was sent. Be sure to convert the time shown on your mail programme for their geographic location. 13
Practical Tips Look for the obvious - Often the chart will show what is pressing for the client, which may differ from what they have told you, or what they want you to know. Be alert to planetary emphasis - can highlight the main planetary themes relevant to an individual. Pay attention to the Moon. The chart will describe the story leading up to consultation, then offer insight in terms of where they are heading 14

Client Report At this time there is a critical focus on health and vitality. It is very important that you do all you can to maintain your wellbeing. Attention should be given to immune and lymphatic systems. Take care to avoid accidents (Mars in Pisces in the 6th house). The purpose of this information is not to block or scare you, but to remind you that you are in a major time of transition on a health level. Care spent now will pay off for many years to come. Do not ignore any signs of inflammation, lethargy or low vitality. From consultation notes given prior to session 24
Research - An Opportunity Radical correlations allow astrologers to solve some methodological issues. Problems with research - phenomenological - subjective /interpretive - not easily quantified - outside scientific method 25
Research - The Problem of Bias What happens if the astrologer only consults during certain hours? Diurnal charts only Sun can t be in certain houses especially 5-2nd Triplicity rulerships diurnal only Certain signs cannot rise depending on time of year 26
Research - A Reliable Measure Radical alignments appear with such regularity as to provide a statistically significant measure beyond the influence of researcher. Supports astrological hypothesis that the cosmos is holographic or linked to aspects of psyche. 27
