Dodecatemoria in Horary Astrology 1 by Ouranos The website sevenstarsastrology.com offers good information on the dodecatemoria. https://sevenstarsastrology.com/twelfth ... ory-signs/ “One of the more fascinating niche uses of twelfth-parts is in the interpretation of cognition. This use was common for consultation charts, and later in medieval horary astrology. The technique originates with unknown Indian astrologers and Hephastio of Thebes. Importantly, it was adoped by Masha’allah. The basic idea is that the twelfth-part of the Ascendant gives indications about the thoughts and intentions of a native or a querent (the one asking the astrologer to divine the answer to a question). The native is really concerned about matters pertaining to the house represented by the twelfth-part of the Ascendant. The qualities and conditions of that place such as the quality of the sign, its domicile lord, and occupants of the sign are all relevant to the native’s true concerns. The primary use of this technique in medieval astrology was to anticipate a client’s area of concern. This usage appears to have started in Indian and/or Hellenistic use of consultation charts. This use of consultation charts preceded, and likely lead to, the development of horary astrology. Masha’allah in On Hidden Things (from the Works of Sahl and Masha’allah translated by Dykes in 2008) suggested that the twelfth-part of the Ascendant provides the best indications regarding a querent’s intention in an horary reading. If a planet is in that place then you look to that place as signifying the person’s intention. If the place is empty then you look to the place of its ruler.??? Deborah Houlding explains here the dodekatemoria concept and the table below is taken from her article. https://www.skyscript.co.uk/gl/dodekatemorion.html In Astrologie 21 no 8, Nathalie Bertolino provides 3 examples on how it can be used in Horary astrology. Google Translate with corrections on technical terms. The divisions of the zodiac (Nathalie Bertolino) There are several ways in astrology to divide each zodiac sign and use these divisions. • The best known is the division of each sign into thirds of 10 ° called decans: first decan from 0 ° to 9 ° 59, second decan from 10 ° to 19 ° 59, third decan from 20 ° to 29 ° 59. The first decan of the Aries is attributed to Mars and the decans following are assigned a planet according to the Chaldean order, from the slowest to the fastest: saturn / jupiter / mars / sun / venus / mercury / moon. The second decan of the Aries is therefore attributed to the sun, the third to venus, the first decan of the Taurus to the moon, the second to Saturn and so on until the last decan of fish attributed to Mars. The decans are in fact so well known to some of the great public uses them; for an overview see - especially at this time of year – your favorite women's monthly magazine. Traditionally, the decans are used to judge the celestial state of a planet. A planet in its decan has a little dignity. • Egyptian terms are a division into five of each sign. The five portions do not have the same number of degrees and are also irregular with a sign to the other. Each portion is assigned the dominance of a planet (other than the luminaries) and this dominance influences the celestial state: as with the decans, a planet in its term possesses a small dignity. In the tradition, Egyptian terms are also used in the analysis of solar revolutions, in connection with the primary direction of the ascendant. • Navamsas are a division into 9 of each sign, each covering 3 ° 20. They are managed by a sign of the zodiac, following the order of the twelve signs without holding count the signs crossed. The first navamsa of Aries , from 0 ° to 3 ° 19, is attributed to Aries and is therefore under the influence of Mars. The second navamsa of Aries, of 3 ° 20 to 6 ° 39, attributed to Taurus, is therefore under the influence of Venus. By following the order of the signs of the zodiac, the first navamsa of Capricorn is therefore attributed to Capricorn and Saturn and so on until the last navamsa of Pisces which is attributed to Pisces and Jupiter. • Dodecatemories are a division into 12 of each sign, each covering 2 ° 30. Aries's first dodecatemory, from 0 ° to 2 ° 29, is managed by the Aries and is therefore under the influence of Mars. The others follow in the order of the signs of the zodiac, the last dodecatemory of Aries being that of Pisces. But unlike navamsas, the first dodecatemory of each sign is managed by that same sign. Thus, the first dodecatemory of Taurus is that of Taurus, the first of Gemini is that of Gemini and so on. Navamsas and Dodecatemories grant dominance of certain portions from the zodiac to a sign as well as to the planet which controls it and therefore confers a dignity to this planet. These dignities, however, have fallen into oblivion in Western astrology and are not among those commonly used by practitioners of traditional astrology (as a reminder: major dignities are domicile and exaltation, minor dignities are triplicity, term and decan). The dodecatemories applied to Horary astrology: the consultant's mind The key to interpreting an horary chart is to find the right significator to provide the correct answer to the consultant. But anyone who practices knows that sometimes, despite good use of significators and techniques, the answer escapes us. Have we looked at the right significator? Going further ... has the consultant guided us properly on the real question that torments him? The table above is of great help in determining the true thought of the consultant. It presents the dodecatemories of the zodiac as well as the "thoughts" associated with each of them. This is an interpretation proposed by Herman of Carinthia or Herman the Dalmatian, a 12th century astrologer (1110 - 1154), translated from Latin to English by Benjamin Dykes, an American astrologer, and from English to French by Eliane Bénady and myself, students of Denis Labouré. Herman of Carinthia probably drew these interpretations from earlier sources, Arabic texts or collections such as those of Ergafalau (10th century) or Hephaistion (5th century). Note that the thoughts listed correspond to life as lived in a very distant time from ours and that the text sometimes needs to be adapted to the current context. The consultant's thought check is to be used as a pre-judgment onsideration: the ascendant degree dodecatemoria provides an indication of the consultant's true concern. There are other methods of determining or clarifying the consultant's thinking. We can for example take the Planetary Hour of the question and check which houses of the natal chart this planet is the almuten (planet with the most on the degree of the cusp of the house) to obtain an indication on the subject of real concern of the consultant. This method is not applied here but can be used for verification, in addition to the dodecatemoria method, developed below. Horary Astrology Methodology and application The methodology proposed here remains very simple: 1) Take the degree of the ascendant of the Horary chart: find in the table in what dodecatemoria it is (sign) 2) Look at which house of the Horary chart is in the sign of this dodecatemoria: it indicates the area that concerns the consultant 3) Check with the interpretation of the consultant's thought given in the book of Benjamin Dykes (Translation note - I have provided the translation of Eliane Benady and Nathalie Bertolino at the end of the article). : it provides details on the context already indicated by the aforementioned house Illustration by the following examples (the analysis of the Horary chart is not developed so as not to overload this article): 8 June 2011 18h45 (UT 16h45) Puttelange-les-Farschvil 49N03 /6E55 Consultant 1, male, would like to know if he will change jobs - that’s the question asked. A priori, a question related to House X. He also mentions that possibly, he wants to know if the person he's having a relationship with is the right one. The question is badly asked (it would be better to ask what the future of the relationship is) but what is more, in this case, we are more in the context of the 7th house. The ascendant of the Horary chart is at 16 ° 53 Scorpio. • The dodecatemoria is that of Taurus: the house ruled byTaurus in the chart is VII → Which is a first indication of relationship-oriented thinking in love (VII) rather than towards the career (X) • The dodecatemoria says: "something that happened in a foreign country because of a foreign person " → Verification: the consultant had an affair with a woman married to another man, this woman is German! → Conclusion: house VII answers the consultant's real question 7 May 2011 14h20 (UT 12h20) Clermont Ferrand 45N47/3E04 Consultant 2, a woman, would like to know the career development of her son who is exploited by his employer but hoping for a promotion . A priori, a question relating to the X of the consultant's son, therefore to the second house of the Horary chart, by deriving from V. (10th from the 5th) The ascendant of the Horary chart is at 2 ° 15 of Virgo (we do not drift to verify dodecatemoria!) • The dodecatemoria is that of Virgo: the houses ruled by Virgo in the Horary chart are ASC and II of the consultant. But this is a question which relates to her son: by drifting from the V (the child), the houses managed by Virgo in this Horary chart are the IX and the X of the V, that is to say the distant travels and the career of her son. → This is a first indication that the consultant is really concerned about the professional development of her son • The dodecatemory indicates: "feminine adornment, we harvest the fruits of its kindness" → Which corresponds well to a question aiming to know if the efforts made will be rewarded by a promotion. → Conclusion: house II (the X of the V) answers the consultant's real question. 21 June 2011 18h08 (UT 16h08) Naast 50N33/4E04 Consultant 3, a woman, would like to know if she will be able to stay in the house that she occupies. A priori, a question concerning house IV. The ascendant of the Horary chart is at 16 ° 33 Scorpio [note that this is the same dodecatemoria as for consultant 1 ] • The dodecatemoria is that of Taurus: the house ruled by Taurus in the Horary chart is VII → Which is a first indication of relationship-oriented thinking in love and partner (VII) rather than real estate (IV) • The dodecatemoria says: "something that happened in a foreign land because of a foreign person " → Verification: this house was acquired with the former partner of the consultant and she cannot do it on her own. What she actually wants is to meet another partner (house VII) who would share with her the management of this house! => Conclusion: house VII is the key to the response to the consultant Conclusion The few examples used for this article show that there is material to be explored in the dodecatemories, so as to be able to choose the right significator in the analysis of an Horary chart and thus provide an answer that is correct and that satisfies the real questioning of the person. consultant. Recovering the mastery of such a tool can only serve the astrological community. In the dialogue that takes place during the horoscope analysis, an astrologer pointing the finger, for example, with sentimental rather than immovable preoccupation may perhaps embarrass the consultant - but also relieve him! Either way, an astrologer who can unveil the consultant's true thinking will only be more competent. Get set to expirement!
