Introduction to Traditional Elections

This short course of 4 classes over 4 weeks, offers an introduction to the magical art of elections – choosing the golden moment. We will begin with the theory, rules, method, and mindset; in the next class we will work together through ‘mock’ elections that I will provide; the final two classes will offer you the opportunity of working with your own charts to propose your own ‘mock’ elections – we will work through these together. Full details will be provided nearer the time. This course is intended to show how the process works, but each election is unique, which is why this course is intended as an introduction to that uniqueness.

This course is aimed at those who have some familiarity with traditional astrology, and horary astrology preferably. Otherwise, please contact me initially.

All classes begin at 2.30pm BST:

Saturday 15 July 2023;
Saturday 22 July 2023;
Saturday 29 July 2023;
Saturday 5 August 2023.

Each class will be between 1.5 and 2 hours in length and will be recorded and made available to enrolled students.

The fee is £160.00.

Comment to the current WSH controversy

I was going to abstain from commenting on this matter, but I am now forced to make a statement.

Like many traditional astrologers I have been following the recent criticisms of whole-sign houses by Deborah Houlding. I had heard the audio version of this lecture sometime ago, and had formed my opinion of the arguments. It was not a good opinion, but I let it be.

However, while watching Chris Brennan’s long and detailed reply to Houlding’s arguments, I heard my and Helena’s names mentioned by Houlding and was surprised to see a photo of us in one of her presentation slides. This was done without my knowledge or permission.

This slide presents two groups, one of supposed whole-sign house supporters, and another group with a different or opposing view. We are included in the latter together with Houlding herself. While not specified, this gives the impression that Helena and I are supporters of Houlding’s views. This is not the case at all.

I have my opinions on house systems (and their astrological uses) which I restrict to astrological discussion, but this is not the point at issue here.

Houlding’s presentation makes historical claims in order to argue against whole-sign houses. As an historian of astrology I will not be associated, implicitly or explicitly, with any of the shoddy historical opinions presented in that talk. They are unsound, poorly researched, and unsubstantiated.

It is unfortunate that I should have to make such a statement, but I cannot let this misrepresentation pass.
