Pingree on 'continuous horoscopy' 1 by Martin Gansten David Pingree coined (as far as I know) the term 'continuous horoscopy' to cover all manner of predictive techniques, and used it in many places in his writings. It has since been picked up by other scholars. I recall a particular remark of Pingree's (in print) to the effect that 'continuous horoscopy' was invented in order to ensure clients' continued need of astrological consultations, but I have been unable to find it. If anyone happens to know where it is, I'd be obliged for the reference. https://astrology.martingansten.com/ Quote Mon Jan 01, 2018 2:55 pm
