For mag...I totally agree with your worlview frater. For magic we should use a geocentric system since we are here, based on earth and changing the system has severe impliccation in the Macrocosmic/Microcosmic relation ship. btw, Frawley has a VERY interesting (and traditional) explanation of why the outer planets are not used in traditional astrology/magic in his "The real astrology" books<br /><br />SenkoSenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376409624969755467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-78021044999300843332010-07-10T19:33:37.483-04:002010-07-10T19:33:37.483-04:00Well, yeah, RO, and you've been honest and ope...Well, yeah, RO, and you've been honest and open about it. But I wasn't even referring to you specifically-I think that everyone should use the phrase far more often.Lavanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295089071497942411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-23345884697986600452010-07-10T19:17:00.918-04:002010-07-10T19:17:00.918-04:00@Patrick, teh maths have never been my thing.

That's the thing about calculating plane...Yup. That's the thing about calculating planetary motion. Calculating it as if the planets orbit the sun is the easiest: the math is simpler. But you could just as easily calculate orbits as if they described complex spirals around the moon, or an astroid, or the center of the galaxy. For the sake of magic, since we live on earth, we might as well calculate it from our perspective (for the sake of science, though, of course, let's keep the math maximally simple).Patricknoreply@blogger.com
