Büchertitel und Herausgeberschaften (Auswahl)

• Werke wie Crater Liberi. Himmelspforten und Tierkreis (2006) oder Körper und Kosmos (2013) zeigen seine Astrologie-Expertise. Das Werk „Crater Liberi“ behandelt nach Platon den Abstieg der Seelen vom Himmel auf die Erde. Das Buch „Körper und Kosmos“ hat die Ikonographie zum Thema: die kuriosen Aderlaßmänner der Neuzeit bis ins 18. Jahrhundert und darüber hinaus.DeWikiWikipedia. – Crater Liberi – Himmelspforten und Tierkreis – https://www.zobodat.at/pdf/Sitz-Ber-Akad-Muenchen-phil-hist-Kl_2006_0001-0068.pdf
• Herausgeber u. a. von Texten zu Manilius, Ptolemaios, Petronius – darunter Manilius “Astronomica”, Buch V (2010) – Bei Ptolemaios ist hervorzuheben, daß die Edition der wichtigsten antiken griechischen Schrift über die Astrologie (der „Tetrabiblos“, aber richtiger zu nennen „Apotelesmatika“) von Prof. Hübner stammt (in der klassischen Bibliotheca Teubneriana). Bei Petronius handelt es sich um die erste deutsche Petronübersetzung von Wilhelm Heinse, anonym erschienen im Sturm und Drang-Jahr 1773, ein Parergon in Zusammenarbeit mit Germanisten.

Kritische Griechische Textedition von Ptolemaios

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Hübner hat eine kritische Textedition von Ptolemaios’ Tetrabiblos (auch Apotelesmatika) herausgegeben. Diese Edition zählt heute zu den maßgeblichen Ausgaben des Werkes – Die Bibliotheca Teubneriana veröffentlichte 1940 die Ausgabe Claudi Ptolemaei Opera quae exstant omnia, Vol. III,1: Apotelesmatika, herausgegeben von Franz Boll und Emilie Boer. 1998 wurde diese Ausgabe in zweiter Auflage von Wolfgang Hübner überarbeitet und neu herausgegeben The Hellenistic Astrology WebsiteWikipedia.

Philologischer Zugang – Astrologie als Teil der antiken Kultur – Die zodiakale Astrologie des Manilius

Prof. Hübner sieht Astrologie nicht als „okkultes Randphänomen“, sondern als zentrale Wissens- und Denkkultur der Antike. – Er arbeitet streng textphilologisch: Edition, Übersetzung und Kommentierung antiker astrologischer Schriften. – Damit grenzt er sich von esoterischen Lesarten ab: Er behandelt Astrologie als historische Wissenschaft innerhalb der Antike.

Die zodiakale Astrologie des Manilius

Die Eigenschaften der Tierkreiszeichen in der Antike: Ihre Darstellung und Verwendung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Manilius (Sudhoffs Archiv. Beihefte) – 646 Seiten –

–

„Die Eigenschaften der Tierkreiszeichen in der Antike“ – ist die Umarbeitung eines Teils seiner Habilitationsschrift, 1973 in Tübingen eingereicht unter dem Titel „Die zodiakale Astrologie des Manilius“, angenommen erst 1975 (während er Venedig weilte). Das Habilitationskolloquium scheiterte (Zitat von Hildebrecht Hommel, dem emeritierten Vorgänger seines für das Scheitern verantwortlichen Nachfolgers: „eine Schweinerei“). – Das ist auch eine Antwort auf die Frage die Charles Burnett gestellt wurde, ob ihm die Astrologie nicht auch einmal zum Nachteil gereicht habe.  Hildebrecht Hommel kam 1982 spontan aus Tübingen zu seiner Antrittsvorlesung in Trier, gleichsam als Satisfaktion für die Gemeinheit seines Nachfolgers. – Dieses Scheitern hat Prof. Hübner sieben Jahre gekostet bis zu seiner erfolgreichen Habilitation in Trier 1982 (unter behutsamer Förderung und energischer Federführung vom Hans-Otto Kröner). – Er hat aus seiner ungedruckten Habilitationsschrift „Die zodiakale Astrologie des Manilius“ zwei Teile gemacht. Der erste, wichtigere und allgemeinverständliche Teil ist – seiner damaligen Situation entsprechend – leider nur an einer sehr unscheinbaren Stelle veröffentlicht, sollte aber wenigstens hier genannt und dringend empfohlen werden – nämlich:

Manilius als Astrologe und Dichter

in: Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt (hrsg. H. Temporini und W. Haase), II 32.1 (1984), 126-320. – Volltext  – https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110855678/html#contents

Prof. Hübner hat einen Sonderdruck in Buchform binden lassen, denn das Werk hat durchaus Monographiecharakter. Da sie an unscheinbarer Stelle erschienen ist, hat Katharina die Lücke ausgenutzt, deren Buch gewöhnlich zum Thema Manilius zitiert wird. Die eigentliche astrologische Lehre hat sie ausgespart. – Den zweiten Teil der Habilschrift hat Prof Hübner, auch auf Anregung von Fritz Krafft, stark umgearbeitet und in „Sudhoffs Archiv“, einer grundsätzlich medizinhistorischen Zeitschrift, erscheinen lassen, in der auch die „Astrologumena“ von W. und H.G. Gundel erschienen sind (1966): Die Eigenschaften der Tierkreiszeichen in der Antike. Ihre Darstellung und Verwendung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Manilius, Wiesbaden 1982 (Sudhoffs Archiv. Beihefte. 22, hrsg. F. Krafft, al.). – Dies ist sozusagen der esoterische Teil und sammelt und ordnet das immense von Prof. Hübner zusammengetragene und geordnete Material. Es eignet sich – wenigstens am Anfang – eigentlich nur als Nachschlagewerk, es wird aber wenig benutzt.

Die Quellen des Manilius:

eine wichtige Quelle ist der Astrologe Teukros von Babylon (mit „Babylon“ ist gemeint ist der unterägyptische Gau dieses Namens), dessen Fragmente Franz Boll, damals Mitarbeiter am Catalogus codicum astrologorum Graecorum) in seiner berühmten „Sphaera“ (ursprünglich geplanter Titel „Sphaera barbarica“, 1903) ediert und behandelt hat. Prof. Hübner hat versucht, einen Artikel „Teukros von Babylon“ ins Internet zu stellen…Dieser verkannte Teukros betrieb das verrückteste Kapitel der antiken Astrologie, weil er alle extrazodiakalen Sternbilder, entweder in der kanonischen Form oder in bizarren, teilweise ägyptisierenden Umbenennungen auf einzelne Grade und Gradbezirke in höchst spekulativen Analogien bezog. Daher ist als grundlegendes Werk zu nennen Prof. Hübners dreisprachige kommentierte Edition (pikardisch, also altfranzösisch – griechisch – lateinisch) des Kapitels 25 des von Wilhelm Gundel (1936) entdeckten „Liber Hermetis“: Grade und Gradbezirke der Tierkreiszeichen. Der anonyme Traktat „De stellis fixis, in quibus gradibus oriuntur signorum“. Quellenkritische Edition mit Kommentar, Stuttgart-Leipzig 1995 (Sammlung wissenschaftlicher Commentare). 2 Bände.

Auf der nunmehr erweiterten Kenntnis dieser fragmentarischen Schrift beruht dann Hübners zweibändige Edition des fünften und letzten Buches der „Astronomica“ des Manilius. Erst die Teukrostexte können die absonderlichen Kombinationen des Dichters erhellen.

Man kann Hübners astrologiewissenschaftliches Werk evtl. so charakterisieren – Er ist der führende deutschsprachige Altphilologe neben seinem Schüler Stephan Heilen, der die Astrologie als kulturelles und symbolisches System der Antike erforschte, ihre Überlieferungslinien bis ins Christentum nachzeichnete und damit die Astrologie in die seriöse Altertumswissenschaft integrierte.

**************************

Das assyrische Reich und die babylonische Astronomie sind eng miteinander verbunden, da beide im kulturellen Rahmen Mesopotamiens stehen. Überblick in geschichtlicher, astronomisch-astrologischer und religiös-kultureller Hinsicht:

1. Historischer Rahmen

• Altassyrisches Reich (ca. 2000–1750 v. Chr.): Handelskolonie Kültepe (Kanes/Kaneš), aber noch keine große Rolle in der Astronomie.
• Mittelassyrisches Reich (ca. 1400–1000 v. Chr.): Beginn engerer Kontakte mit Babylonien. Babylon war das geistige Zentrum, Assyrien übernahm viel.
• Neuassyrisches Reich (ca. 900–612 v. Chr.): Höhepunkt der politischen Macht. Hauptstadt Ninive wurde unter Assurbanipal auch zu einem kulturellen Zentrum. Seine Bibliothek enthielt zahlreiche babylonische astronomisch-astrologische Tafeln.

2. Babylonische Astronomie

Die Babylonier entwickelten eine systematische Himmelskunde des Altertums.

• Keilschrift-Tafeln: Astronomische Tagebücher, Himmelsbeobachtungen über Jahrhunderte.
• Zyklus-Erkenntnisse: Sie erkannten die Saros-Periode (≈18 Jahre, 11 Tage) für Sonnen- und Mondfinsternisse.
• Mathematische Astronomie: Ab dem 6. Jh. v. Chr. verwendeten sie Tabellen zur Berechnung von Planetenpositionen.
• Tierkreis: Im 5. Jh. v. Chr. bildeten sie den uns bekannten Tierkreis mit 12 gleich großen Zeichen zu je 30°.

3. Astrologie und Religion

• Babylonische Astrologie: Von Anfang an eng mit Religion und Politik verknüpft.
  • „Enūma Anu Enlil“ (ca. 1600 v. Chr. kompiliert, später erweitert): eine Sammlung von über 7.000 Omina (Vorzeichen), die Himmelsereignisse mit irdischen Konsequenzen verband.
  • Beispiel: „Wenn Venus im Westen hell auftritt, wird Frieden im Land sein.“
• Königs- und Staatsastrologie: In Assyrien besonders wichtig, weil die Herrschaftsideologie religiös gestützt war. Himmelszeichen galten als direkte Botschaften der Götter (vor allem Marduk, Šamaš, Sin).

4. Assyrische Rezeption

• Die Neuassyrischen Könige (Assarhaddon, Assurbanipal) beschäftigten ganze Kollegien von āšipu (Beschwörern) und ṭupšarru (Schreibern/Astrologen).
• Ninive: Die Bibliothek Assurbanipals (7. Jh. v. Chr.) enthält viele Tafeln zur Astronomie/Astrologie – größtenteils Kopien babylonischer Originale.
• Assyrische Könige ließen sich täglich astronomisch-astrologische Berichte vorlegen. Besonders die Deutung von Finsternissen war zentral, weil sie als Zeichen für Königsheil oder Unheil galten.

Assurbanipal regierte nicht in Babylon, setzte aber 668 seinen Bruder als König dort ein. Das Experiment klappte nicht: 652 machte der Bruder einen Aufstand, den Assurbanipal erst 648 niederschlagen konnte (mit einer neuerlichen Eroberung Babylons).

5. Wirkungsgeschichte

Sargon II. ließ sich zum König von Babylon krönen, erst nachdem er die Herrschaft militärisch errungen hatte; bis 710 gab es einen Chaldäer als König von Babylon.

• Nach dem Fall des Assyrischen Reiches (612 v. Chr.) blieb Babylon das geistige Zentrum.
• Spätere griechische Astronomen (Hipparchos, Ptolemäus) bauten auf babylonischen Tafeln auf.
• Die babylonisch-assyrische Astronomie wurde zum Fundament der hellenistischen, römischen und mittelalterlichen Himmelskunde.

Zusammengefasst:
Das Assyrische Reich war vor allem ein politisch-militärisches Imperium, das sich das astronomisch-astrologische Wissen der Babylonier aneignete und systematisch für Staatszwecke nutzte. Die Babylonier hingegen waren die eigentlichen Schöpfer der astronomischen Tradition, die später weltweit wirkte.

die große Keilschriftsammlung astrologischer Omen, die im assyrisch-babylonischen Kulturraum den Kern der Mantik ausmachte.
Das zentrale Werk ist:

Enūma Anu Enlil (EAE)

• Entstehung: vermutlich ab dem 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. (altbabylonische Zeit), endgültige Redaktion im 1. Jahrtausend v. Chr.
• Umfang: ca. 70–100 Tafeln (je nach Rekonstruktion), mit über 7.000 einzelnen Omina.
• Inhalt: systematische Sammlung von Vorzeichen, die aus Himmelserscheinungen abgeleitet werden.
  • Mond: Gestalt, Finsternisse, Halo, Auf- und Untergangsorte.
  • Sonne: Sonnenfinsternisse, besondere Erscheinungen.
  • Planeten: Venus (Dilbat), Mars (Nergal), Merkur (Nabu), Jupiter (Marduk), Saturn (Ninurta).
  • Wetter- und Himmelsphänomene: Regen, Donner, Blitze, Wolkenbilder.
• Form: Fast immer in der Struktur „Wenn …, dann …“.
  • Beispiel: „Wenn der Mond im ersten Tag des Monats einen Ring trägt: der König wird von seinem Thron gestürzt werden.“
  • Omina konnten sich auf König, Staat, Feinde, Ernte, Krankheiten beziehen.

Weitere omenbezogene Serien

Neben dem Enūma Anu Enlil gab es noch andere große Serien:

• Šumma Ālu ina mēlê šakin („Wenn eine Stadt auf einer Anhöhe liegt…“) – eine Sammlung von über 100 Tafeln mit Omina aus Alltagsbeobachtungen, Träumen, Tieren, Menschen.
• Iqqur īpuš („Er hat ein Haus gebaut“) – Omina aus Bauhandlungen und Architektur.
• Šumma izbu – Omina aus Missbildungen bei Mensch und Tier.
• Alamdimmû – Physiognomik (Aussehen und Charakter).

Assyrische Rezeption

• Unter den Neuassyrischen Königen (8.–7. Jh. v. Chr.) wurden Abschriften dieser Serien in den Palastbibliotheken gesammelt (vor allem in Ninive, Bibliothek Assurbanipals).
• Astrologen berichteten fast täglich anhand des Enūma Anu Enlil über Beobachtungen (z. B. Finsternisse, ungewöhnliche Venus-Positionen).
• Diese Omenliteratur war also staatlich-institutionalisiert.

Bedeutung

• Das Enūma Anu Enlil ist die älteste bekannte systematische Sammlung von Himmelsomen.
• Es bildet die Grundlage für die spätere Entwicklung der Astrologie: zuerst Staatsastrologie, später auch individuelle Horoskopie (ab 5. Jh. v. Chr. in Babylon).

Entwicklung der babylonischen Astronomie in einer Paralleldarstellung mit den Phasen des Assyrischen Reichs

1. Frühphase (ca. 2000–1500 v. Chr.)

Assyrien:

• Altassyrisches Reich mit Zentrum in Assur; Handelskolonien in Anatolien (Kaneš/Kültepe).
• Politisch eher ein Stadtstaat, keine Großmacht.

Astronomie:

• In Babylonien: erste Sammlung von Omen-Texten, z. B. Enūma Anu Enlil (Grundlage für Jahrhunderte).
• Beobachtung der Planeten, des Mondlaufs und von Sonnen- und Mondfinsternissen.
• Astronomie noch stark „priesterlich“ eingebunden, d. h. Ziel: Deutung für König und Reich.
• Keine mathematischen Berechnungen, sondern reine Beobachtung und Interpretation.

2. Mittelphase (ca. 1500–1000 v. Chr.)

Assyrien:

• Mittelassyrisches Reich, Ausdehnung bis Syrien, kurzzeitig Großmacht.
• Machtverlust ab ca. 1100 v. Chr. → Rückfall auf regionale Bedeutung.

Astronomie:

• Festigung der Tradition der Omenliteratur.
• Systematische Aufzeichnung von Himmelsphänomenen durch königliche Gelehrte (Beschwörer, Baru-Priester).
• Finsternisse werden genau dokumentiert, weil sie als unmittelbare Königsomen galten.
• Erste Versuche, Regelmäßigkeiten im Planetenlauf zu erkennen, jedoch noch nicht als Rechenastronomie.

3. Neuassyrische Großmachtzeit (ca. 900–612 v. Chr.)

Assyrien:

• Aufstieg zur Weltmacht (Tiglath-Pileser III., Sargon II., Sennacherib, Assurbanipal).
• Hauptstadtwechsel: Assur → Nimrud → Ninive.
• Imperium von Ägypten bis Iran.
• Untergang 612 v. Chr. (Zerstörung Ninives durch Meder und Babylonier).

Astronomie:

• Hier beginnt die systematische Aufzeichnung der „astronomischen Tagebücher“ in Babylon (ab 8. Jh.).
• Enge Verbindung zwischen assyrischen Königen und babylonischen Gelehrten.
• Assurbanipal lässt umfangreiche Bibliotheken in Ninive anlegen (Kopien babylonischer astronomischer Texte → Keilschrifttafeln).
• Beginn einer Art „Astronomenkaste“, die regelmäßige Beobachtungen (Planetenstände, Wetter, Preise, Flusspegel) anfertigt → Keimzelle der späteren mathematischen Astronomie.
• Astronomie wird hier professionalisiert.

4. Übergang: Spätbabylonisch und nachassyrische Zeit (ca. 612–300 v. Chr.)

Assyrien:

• Reich zerfällt, Babylonier übernehmen Vorherrschaft (Neubabylonisches Reich, 626–539 v. Chr.).
• Danach Perserherrschaft (Achämeniden), später Alexander und die Seleukiden.

Astronomie:

• Unter den Neubabyloniern (Nabopolassar, Nebukadnezar II.) erreicht die babylonische Astronomie eine Blüte.
• Beginn der mathematischen Astronomie: Verwendung von arithmetischen Verfahren zur Berechnung von Planetenbewegungen.
• Entwicklung der Saros-Zyklen zur Finsternisberechnung.
• Ab Seleukidenzeit (ab 300 v. Chr.): die klassischen babylonischen Tafeln mit Berechnungsalgorithmen (System A und System B).
• Diese Ergebnisse beeinflussen später die Griechen (Hipparch, Ptolemaios).

Zusammenfassung (Parallelverlauf)

• Altassyrisch (2000–1500): Babylonische Astronomie = Beginn der Omenliteratur.
• Mittelassyrisch (1500–1000): Ausbau der Omen und Beobachtungen, keine Mathematik.
• Neuassyrisch (900–612): Professionalisierung; astronomische Tagebücher beginnen; Bibliotheken in Ninive sichern babylonisches Wissen.
• Nach Assyrien (612–300): Höhepunkt in Babylon: Mathematik, Zyklen, systematische Berechnungen.

Das bedeutet: Die großen Fortschritte der babylonischen Astronomie fallen nicht in die frühe, sondern vor allem in die späte assyrische und nach-assyrische Epoche. Assyrien selbst war Träger und Vermittler, aber Babylonien das eigentliche Zentrum der Entwicklung.

Babylon als Stadt und Zentrum

• Stadtgründung: Babylon existierte schon im 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr., wurde aber erst mit Hammurabi (ca. 1792–1750 v. Chr.) wirklich zur Großmacht.
• Status: Anders als Assur oder Ninive war Babylon kein „Kriegsstaat“, sondern ein kulturelles und religiöses Zentrum.
• Tempel: Vor allem der Tempel des Marduk (Esagila) und der „Turm zu Babel“ (Zikkurat Etemenanki) waren wichtige religiöse Mittelpunkte.
• Wissenschaft: Hier saßen die bedeutendsten Gelehrten (Priestergelehrte, ṭupšarru Enūma Anu Enlil), die astronomische Beobachtungen dokumentierten.

Babylon in Bezug auf das Assyrische Reich

• Während des Mittelassyrischen Reiches (ca. 1400–1000 v. Chr.) war Babylon oft schwächer und stand unter assyrischem Druck.
• Im Neuassyrischen Reich (9.–7. Jh. v. Chr.) war Babylon zwar häufig politisch abhängig oder unterworfen, blieb aber das religiöse und wissenschaftliche Zentrum Mesopotamiens.
  • Assyrische Könige wie Tiglat-Pileser III., Sennacherib und Assurbanipal mussten sich mit Babylon auseinandersetzen.
  • Besonders Assurbanipal sicherte sich das Wissen Babylons, indem er Texte kopieren ließ und sie nach Ninive brachte → seine Bibliothek ist unsere Hauptquelle für babylonische Astronomie.
• Babylon war also innerhalb des assyrischen Reichs ein kultureller, geistiger Gegenpol: militärisch schwächer, aber intellektuell überlegen.

Babylon in der Astronomiegeschichte

• Ort der Innovation: Die astronomischen Omen (Enūma Anu Enlil), die astronomischen Tagebücher und später die mathematischen Tafeln stammen fast ausschließlich aus Babylon.
• Auch wenn Assyrien politisch dominierte, hat es selbst keine eigenständige astronomische Schule hervorgebracht – es übernahm das Wissen aus Babylon.
• Nach dem Fall Assyriens (612 v. Chr.) trat Babylon im Neubabylonischen Reich (626–539) als führende Macht hervor und brachte die entscheidenden Fortschritte der mathematischen Astronomie hervor.

Kurz gesagt:

In diesem Kontext war Babylon das geistige und wissenschaftliche Zentrum, das die Astronomie entwickelte.
Assyrien war der politische Hegemon, der Babylon kontrollierte, das Wissen nutzte und weitertrug.
Ohne Babylon hätte die „babylonische Astronomie“ im eigentlichen Sinn nicht existiert – Assyrien war eher ein „Multiplikator“, Babylon das „Labor“.

Die Rolle Babylons staatspolitisch während der assyrischen Zeit ist kompliziert – Babylon war weder völlig frei noch einfach nur eine Provinz, sondern hatte einen Sonderstatus.

1. Grundsätzliches

• Babylon war eine heilige Stadt: Marduk, der Stadtgott, galt als oberste Gottheit Mesopotamiens.
• Wer Babylon unterwarf, musste religiös-politisch „legitimiert“ werden – z. B. durch das Neujahrsfest (Akitu), bei dem der König symbolisch Marduk anerkannte.
• Deshalb konnte kein assyrischer König sich einfach „König von Babylon“ nennen, ohne das Ritual und die lokale Elite einzubinden.

2. Politische Realität unter den Assyrern

• Phasen von Autonomie:
  Babylon hatte immer wieder eigene Könige aus lokalen Dynastien (Chaldäer, Aramäer, babylonische Adelsfamilien).
  → In solchen Zeiten war Babylon formal unabhängig, auch wenn es schwach war und oft auf assyrischen Schutz angewiesen.
• Phasen von Unterwerfung:
  Assyrische Könige setzten sich selbst auf den Thron von Babylon (z. B. Tiglat-Pileser III., Esarhaddon, Assurbanipal).
  → Dann war Babylon politisch Teil des Assyrischen Reichs, aber mit eigener Verwaltung, Priestertum und Kultkontinuität.
• Sonderstatus:
  Babylon wurde nie wie eine normale Provinz behandelt, sondern eher wie ein „Bundesstaat“:
  • Eigene Stadtkönige oder Statthalter
  • Religiöse Sonderrechte
  • Lokale Priesterschaft blieb mächtig
  • Viele Aufstände gegen Assyrien (weil die Babylonier ihre Eigenständigkeit wahren wollten).

3. Beispiele

• Sargon II. (721–705 v. Chr.): zwang sich nach Konflikten selbst zum „König von Babylon“ krönen zu lassen.
• Sennacherib (704–681): zerstörte Babylon 689 v. Chr. nach einem Aufstand – ein beispielloser Akt, der religiös-politisch hochriskant war.
• Esarhaddon (681–669): baute Babylon wieder auf, um die göttliche Ordnung zu wahren.
• Assurbanipal (669–631): residierte auch zeitweise in Babylon, stellte sich als legitimer König dar, übernahm aber die Kontrolle direkt.

4. Nach dem Fall Assyriens

• Mit dem Sturz Ninives (612 v. Chr.) wurde Babylon unter Nabopolassar wieder voll autonom und gründete das Neubabylonische Reich (626–539).
• Damit wechselte Babylon von einem halbautonomen Kultzentrum unter assyrischer Hegemonie zu einer eigenständigen Großmacht.

Zusammenfassung

Ja, Babylon war unter assyrischer Oberherrschaft staatspolitisch irgendwie autonom.

• Es war keine normale Provinz, sondern eine Art Vasallen- oder Teilkönigreich mit Sonderstatus.
• Es konnte zeitweise eigene Könige haben, zeitweise assyrische Könige, war aber stets das religiöse Zentrum Mesopotamiens.
• Diese Sonderstellung erklärt, warum Assyrien trotz Machtfülle Babylon nie einfach „eingemeindet“ hat.

Babylon ist älter als Assyrien als Reich, und hatte schon lange eine eigenständige Geschichte, bevor es in die assyrische Hegemonie geriet.

1. Frühzeit Babylons (3.–2. Jahrtausend v. Chr.)

• 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr.: Babylon wird erstmals in Quellen der sumerischen Zeit erwähnt (als kleine Stadt, noch unbedeutend).
• 18. Jh. v. Chr.: Aufstieg unter Hammurabi (ca. 1792–1750 v. Chr.).
  • Hammurabi schuf das erste babylonische Reich (Albabylonisches Reich).
  • Zentrum: Stadt Babylon mit dem Gott Marduk, der nun die oberste Stellung im Götterpantheon erhielt.
  • Hammurabi ist auch bekannt durch seinen Gesetzeskodex (Codex Hammurapi).

2. Nach Hammurabi – politischer Abstieg, kulturelle Stärke (ca. 1600–1100 v. Chr.)

• Nach Hammurabis Tod zerfiel das Reich.
• Kaschitenherrschaft (ca. 1595–1155 v. Chr.):
  • Babylon blieb weiter Königssitz, aber die Kassiten übernahmen.
  • Politisch schwächer als die aufstrebenden Reiche Mitanni, Hethiter und Assyrer.
  • Dennoch entwickelte sich die Stadt zu einem religiösen und kulturellen Zentrum, das ganz Mesopotamien prägte.
  • Viele astronomische Omen-Texte stammen aus dieser Zeit.

3. Spätbabylonische Königreiche (ca. 1100–900 v. Chr.)

• Babylon wurde in dieser Phase oft von Aramäern und Chaldäern bedrängt.
• Politisch instabil, aber die Stadt blieb Mittelpunkt für Schriftkultur und Wissenschaft.
• Hier beginnt die enge Verbindung zwischen Tempelkult und Astronomie: Priester notieren Planetenbewegungen als Teil von Omen-Deutungen.

4. Verhältnis zu Assyrien vor dem Neuassyrischen Reich

• Bis ca. 900 v. Chr. war Babylon ein eigenständiges Königreich, allerdings schwächer als das zeitweise expandierende Assyrien.
• In den Jahrhunderten vor der assyrischen Vorherrschaft wechselte Babylon häufig den Herrscher (lokale Dynastien, Eindringlinge).
• Für Assyrien war Babylon religiös unverzichtbar – wer Babylon kontrollierte, konnte sich durch den Kult des Marduk sakral legitimieren.

5. Zusammenfassung

Vor den Assyrern war Babylon:

1. Ein eigenes Reich (Albabylonisches Reich) – unter Hammurabi sogar eine Großmacht.
2. Ein religiöses Zentrum – Kult des Marduk machte Babylon einzigartig.
3. Ein kultureller und wissenschaftlicher Mittelpunkt – hier entwickelte sich schon früh die Omen-Astronomie.
4. Politisch wechselnd schwach oder mittelstark – oft abhängig von Fremdherrschern (Kassiten, Elamiter, Aramäer).

Das heißt: Babylon existierte lange vor dem assyrischen Reich als eigenständige Königsmacht. Während Assyrien noch ein kleiner Stadtstaat in Assur war, hatte Babylon bereits unter Hammurabi ein Großreich geschaffen und den Grundstein für seine kulturelle Strahlkraft gelegt.

************************

Die Assyrer haben Babylon nicht einfach „eingegliedert“ oder ausgelöscht, sondern in verschiedenen Phasen – je nach politischer Lage – als halbautonomes Gebilde bestehen lassen. Dafür gab es mehrere Gründe:

1. Religiös-kulturelle Sonderstellung Babylons

• Babylon galt im gesamten Zweistromland als heilige Stadt, weil dort der Gott Marduk verehrt wurde und der große Neujahrstempel (Akītu-Fest) stattfand.
• Selbst die assyrischen Könige, die in Ninive oder Assur regierten, mussten – um ihre Herrschaft religiös zu legitimieren – den Kult Marduks respektieren. Manche ließen sich in Babylon sogar symbolisch als „König von Babylon“ einsetzen.

2. Politische Zweckmäßigkeit

• Babylonien war ein dicht besiedeltes, hochentwickeltes Gebiet mit langer Verwaltungstradition. Direkte Zerstörung oder völlige Eingliederung hätte immer wieder Aufstände provoziert.
• Stattdessen ließen die Assyrer oft Statthalter oder verbündete Könige dort regieren, die formal die Stadt autonom hielten, aber assyrische Oberhoheit anerkennen mussten.

3. Wirtschaftliche Bedeutung

• Babylonien war fruchtbarer als Assyrien (besonders das Gebiet um den unteren Euphrat).
• Die Assyrer profitierten von Handel, Abgaben und Handwerkswissen – aber nur, wenn das Land nicht durch ständige Rebellion oder Zwangsmaßnahmen ruiniert wurde.

4. Tradition der Doppelherrschaft

• Schon früh im 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. gab es das Muster, dass Babylon und Assur als zwei eigenständige Machtzentren koexistierten, manchmal in Rivalität, manchmal in Allianz.
• Viele assyrische Könige führten daher eine Art Doppeltitel („König von Assyrien und von Babylon“), wobei sie Assyrien als eigentliche Heimat sahen, Babylon aber als notwendiges Prestigeobjekt.

Fazit:
Die Assyrer mussten Babylon gelten lassen, weil es nicht nur eine Stadt, sondern ein religiöses und kulturelles Herz Mesopotamiens war. Wer Babylon zerstörte (z. B. Sanherib nach einem Aufstand 689 v. Chr.), riskierte nicht nur politischen Widerstand, sondern auch religiöse Delegitimierung. Deshalb kehrten seine Nachfolger (z. B. Asarhaddon) wieder zur Politik zurück, Babylon in Würde zu erhalten und es offiziell in ihr Reich einzubinden.

********************

Die Bibliothek des Aššurbanipal, die über 25.000 Tontafeln umfasst, enthält sowohl Omen- als auch astrologische Texte, wobei beides eng miteinander verbunden ist.

Omen-Texte: Ein Großteil der Tontafeln besteht aus Sammlungen von Omen, die in Mesopotamien eine zentrale Rolle in der Divination (Wahrsagung) spielten. Diese Texte, wie die Serie Enūma Anu Enlil, beschreiben Vorhersagen, die auf der Beobachtung von Himmelserscheinungen (z. B. Mondphasen, Sonnenfinsternisse, Planetenbewegungen) oder anderen Naturphänomenen basieren. Omen wurden genutzt, um göttliche Botschaften zu interpretieren und Entscheidungen in Politik, Krieg oder Alltagsleben zu treffen.

Astrologie: Die astrologischen Texte in der Bibliothek sind eng mit den Omen verknüpft, da die Mesopotamier glaubten, dass Himmelskörper göttliche Zeichen darstellen. Diese Texte dokumentieren systematische Beobachtungen von Sternen, Planeten und anderen Himmelsereignissen, die als Grundlage für astrologische Vorhersagen dienten. Sie gelten als Vorläufer der späteren westlichen Astrologie, waren aber stark an die Omen-Interpretation gebunden.

Beides: In der mesopotamischen Kultur waren Omen und Astrologie keine getrennten Disziplinen, sondern Teil eines umfassenden Systems der Wahrsagung. Die Bibliothek des Aššurbanipal, die im 7. Jahrhundert v. Chr. in Ninive zusammengestellt wurde, spiegelt diese enge Verbindung wider. Die Tontafeln enthalten sowohl detaillierte astronomische Beobachtungen (z. B. von Planetenkonstellationen) als auch deren Deutung als Omen für irdische Ereignisse, wie Kriege oder Ernten.

Zusammenfassend: Die Bibliothek enthält sowohl Omen- als auch astrologische Inhalte, die in der mesopotamischen Weltanschauung untrennbar miteinander verknüpft waren. Die Astrologie diente als Werkzeug, um Omen zu generieren und zu interpretieren.

******************

Die Deutung von Himmelserscheinungen als Omen für irdische Ereignisse, wie Kriege oder Ernten, wird in der mesopotamischen Kultur nicht als „astrologische Prognose“ im modernen Sinne verstanden, weil der Begriff „Astrologie“ und die zugrunde liegende Weltsicht in Mesopotamien eine andere Bedeutung und Funktion hatten als in der späteren westlichen Astrologie. Hier sind die Hauptgründe:

1. Kontext der Divination: In Mesopotamien waren Himmelsbeobachtungen Teil eines umfassenden Systems der Divination (Wahrsagung), das nicht nur den Himmel, sondern auch andere Phänomene wie Tierverhalten, Träume oder Leberbeschaffenheit (Hepatoskopie) umfasste. Die Deutung von Himmelserscheinungen, wie in der Serie Enūma Anu Enlil, war ein spezifischer Zweig dieser Divination, der darauf abzielte, göttliche Botschaften zu entschlüsseln. Diese Omen wurden nicht als „Prognosen“ im Sinne einer Vorhersage individueller Schicksale verstanden, sondern als Zeichen göttlicher Absichten für kollektive oder staatliche Ereignisse (z. B. das Schicksal des Königs oder des Landes).
2. Göttliche Kommunikation statt Kausalität: Die Mesopotamier sahen Himmelserscheinungen nicht als direkte Ursache von Ereignissen (wie es die spätere Astrologie teilweise annahm), sondern als Mitteilungen der Götter. Ein Sonnenfinsternis-Omen bedeutete beispielsweise nicht, dass die Finsternis den Krieg „verursacht“, sondern dass die Götter durch dieses Zeichen auf einen möglichen Krieg hinweisen. Es ging weniger um eine deterministische Vorhersage als um die Interpretation göttlicher Warnungen oder Anweisungen.
3. Keine individualisierte Astrologie: Anders als die spätere hellenistische Astrologie, die Horoskope für Individuen entwickelte, war die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung stark auf kollektive oder staatliche Angelegenheiten fokussiert, insbesondere auf den König als Repräsentant des Staates. Persönliche Horoskope, wie wir sie heute mit Astrologie assoziieren, entwickelten sich erst später (ca. 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr.). Daher wirkt die mesopotamische Praxis weniger wie eine „Prognose“ im modernen astrologischen Sinne.
4. Terminologische Unterschiede: Der Begriff „Astrologie“ wurde erst in der griechisch-hellenistischen Welt geprägt und impliziert eine systematische Lehre von der Wirkung der Gestirne auf das menschliche Leben. In Mesopotamien gab es kein äquivalentes Konzept; stattdessen sprach man von bārûtu (Wahrsagungskunst) oder spezifischen Begriffen für Himmelsbeobachtung (tupšar Enūma Anu Enlil für Schreiber der Omen-Serie). Die moderne Trennung zwischen „Astrologie“ und „Omen-Deutung“ ist also eine spätere Kategorisierung, die auf die mesopotamische Praxis nicht vollständig passt.
5. Praktische Funktion: Die Omen-Texte in der Bibliothek des Aššurbanipal hatten eine praktische Funktion: Sie dienten dazu, Entscheidungen zu lenken, Rituale (z. B. namburbû-Rituale) zur Abwehr negativer Omen durchzuführen oder den König zu beraten. Es ging weniger um eine langfristige „Prognose“ als um eine unmittelbare Interpretation und Reaktion auf göttliche Zeichen.

Zusammengefasst: Die Deutung von Himmelserscheinungen als Omen für irdische Ereignisse wird nicht als „astrologische Prognose“ verstanden, weil sie in Mesopotamien Teil eines breiteren Divinationssystems war, das auf göttlicher Kommunikation basierte, kollektive Ereignisse betonte und nicht die individualisierte, kausale Vorhersage der späteren Astrologie verfolgte. Der Fokus lag auf der Interpretation göttlicher Zeichen, nicht auf einer systematischen Lehre von Sterneneinflüssen.

*******************

Die Frage, warum die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung aus heutiger Sicht nicht als Teil der Mundanastrologie interpretiert wird oder als erste Form der Mundanastrologie angesehen wird, ist komplex und hängt von historischen, konzeptuellen und terminologischen Unterschieden ab. Mundanastrologie, wie sie heute verstanden wird, ist eine spezifische Kategorie der westlichen Astrologie, die sich mit kollektiven, gesellschaftlichen oder globalen Ereignissen (z. B. politische Entwicklungen, Naturkatastrophen) befasst. Hier sind die Hauptgründe, warum die mesopotamische Praxis nicht direkt als Mundanastrologie oder deren Vorläufer klassifiziert wird:

1. Unterschiedliche kulturelle und konzeptuelle Grundlagen: In Mesopotamien war die Deutung von Himmelserscheinungen Teil eines umfassenden Divinationssystems, das göttliche Botschaften durch Omen (z. B. in der Serie Enūma Anu Enlil) entschlüsselte. Diese Omen waren keine systematische Analyse von Planetenkonstellationen mit kausalem Einfluss auf Ereignisse, wie es die Mundanastrologie annimmt. Stattdessen wurden Himmelsereignisse als Zeichen göttlicher Absichten gesehen, die durch Rituale beeinflusst oder abgewehrt werden konnten. Die moderne Mundanastrologie hingegen basiert auf einer hellenistischen und späteren westlichen Tradition, die Himmelskörper als direkte Einflussfaktoren auf irdische Ereignisse betrachtet, oft mit mathematischen und kosmologischen Modellen.
2. Fehlende astrologische Systematik: Mundanastrologie, wie sie heute verstanden wird, verwendet spezifische Techniken, wie z. B. die Analyse von Planetenzyklen, Ingressen (z. B. Sonne in Widder) oder spezifischen Horoskopen für Nationen. In Mesopotamien gab es zwar systematische Himmelsbeobachtungen, aber keine vergleichbare astrologische Methodik. Die Omen-Texte waren eher Listen von Beobachtungen und deren Deutungen (z. B. „Wenn der Mond so aussieht, bedeutet das X“), ohne die komplexen astrologischen Berechnungen oder die Zuordnung von Planeten zu bestimmten Lebensbereichen, wie sie in der Mundanastrologie üblich sind.
3. Historische Trennung und Entwicklung der Astrologie: Die Mundanastrologie, wie wir sie kennen, entwickelte sich erst in der hellenistischen Periode (ca. 3.–1. Jahrhundert v. Chr.), als mesopotamische, ägyptische und griechische Traditionen verschmolzen. Diese Periode brachte die Geburtshoroskopie und die Zuordnung von Planeten zu spezifischen Themen (z. B. Mars für Krieg, Jupiter für Wohlstand) hervor, die für die Mundanastrologie zentral sind. Die mesopotamische Praxis war dagegen stärker auf Ad-hoc-Interpretationen von Omen fokussiert, ohne die systematische Verknüpfung von Gestirnen mit universellen Prinzipien oder Zyklen, wie sie in der späteren Astrologie üblich wurde. Daher wird die mesopotamische Divination als Vorläufer der Astrologie betrachtet, aber nicht direkt als Mundanastrologie.
4. Terminologische und disziplinäre Abgrenzung: Der Begriff „Mundanastrologie“ ist ein Produkt der westlichen astrologischen Tradition und wird retrospektiv auf Systeme angewendet, die explizit astrologische Methoden für kollektive Ereignisse verwenden. Die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung wird in der Forschung eher als „astral divination“ (astrale Wahrsagung) oder „omen-based astronomy“ klassifiziert, da sie nicht die gleichen theoretischen Annahmen oder Methoden wie die Mundanastrologie teilt. Die moderne Astrologie trennt z. B. zwischen Mundan-, Natal- und Horoskopastrologie, während solche Kategorien in Mesopotamien nicht existierten.
5. Fokus auf göttliche Kommunikation statt Determinismus: In der mesopotamischen Omen-Deutung ging es primär um die Kommunikation zwischen Göttern und Menschen. Himmelserscheinungen waren Zeichen, die interpretiert und durch Rituale (z. B. namburbû) beeinflusst werden konnten, um negative Auswirkungen zu verhindern. Die Mundanastrologie hingegen arbeitet oft mit einem deterministischeren Ansatz, bei dem Planetenkonstellationen als direkte Einflüsse auf Ereignisse gesehen werden. Diese unterschiedliche Weltsicht macht es schwierig, die mesopotamische Praxis direkt als Mundanastrologie zu klassifizieren.
6. Fehlende Kontinuität in der Tradition: Obwohl die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung die spätere Astrologie beeinflusste, gibt es keine direkte Kontinuität zur Mundanastrologie. Die hellenistische Astrologie integrierte mesopotamische Elemente, entwickelte aber neue Konzepte, wie die Tierkreiszeichen, Aspekte und Häuser, die für die Mundanastrologie essenziell sind. Die mesopotamische Praxis blieb stärker an die spezifische kulturelle und religiöse Weltanschauung gebunden und wurde nicht direkt in die späteren astrologischen Systeme übernommen.

Warum nicht als „erste Mundanastrologie“? Die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung könnte als Vorläufer der Mundanastrologie angesehen werden, da sie sich mit kollektiven Ereignissen (z. B. Kriegen, Ernten) befasste. Allerdings fehlen ihr die spezifischen Merkmale, die Mundanastrologie definieren, wie standardisierte astrologische Techniken, ein kausales Verständnis von Planetenwirkungen und die Verwendung eines Tierkreises. Stattdessen wird sie in der Forschung als eigenständige Form der astralen Divination betrachtet, die die Grundlage für spätere astrologische Entwicklungen legte, ohne selbst bereits „Mundanastrologie“ zu sein.

Zusammenfassung: Die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung wird aus heutiger Sicht nicht als Mundanastrologie interpretiert, weil sie in einem anderen kulturellen und methodischen Rahmen operierte, der auf göttlicher Kommunikation statt astrologischem Determinismus basierte. Sie war ein Vorläufer der Astrologie, aber die spezifischen Merkmale der Mundanastrologie entwickelten sich erst später in der hellenistischen Tradition. Die mesopotamische Praxis bleibt daher als eigenständiges System der astralen Wahrsagung klassifiziert, das nicht direkt mit der modernen Kategorie der Mundanastrologie übereinstimmt.

******************

Die Interpretation der Mundanastrologie als Symbolsystem statt als kausales System verändert die Perspektive auf die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung und die Frage, warum diese nicht als erste Form der Mundanastrologie betrachtet wird.

Mundanastrologie als Symbolsystem

Wenn Mundanastrologie primär als Symbolsystem verstanden wird – also als ein System, in dem Himmelserscheinungen symbolische Bedeutungen für kollektive Ereignisse tragen, ohne notwendigerweise eine kausale Wirkung zu implizieren –, dann gibt es tatsächlich Parallelen zur mesopotamischen Himmelsdeutung. In Mesopotamien wurden Himmelserscheinungen (z. B. Sonnenfinsternisse, Planetenkonstellationen) als göttliche Zeichen interpretiert, die symbolisch auf Ereignisse wie Kriege, Ernten oder politische Veränderungen hinwiesen. Diese Zeichen waren keine direkte Ursache der Ereignisse, sondern Mitteilungen der Götter, die durch Wahrsagung entschlüsselt wurden. In diesem Sinne könnte man argumentieren, dass die mesopotamische Praxis eine symbolische Deutung von Himmelsereignissen für kollektive Angelegenheiten darstellt, ähnlich wie Mundanastrologie heute.

Warum wird sie dennoch nicht als erste Mundanastrologie klassifiziert?

Trotz dieser Parallelen gibt es mehrere Gründe, warum die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung nicht als „erste Mundanastrologie“ gilt, selbst wenn Mundanastrologie als Symbolsystem verstanden wird:

1. Unterschiedliche kulturelle und religiöse Rahmenbedingungen: In Mesopotamien war die Himmelsdeutung ein integraler Bestandteil eines breiteren Divinationssystems (bārûtu), das verschiedene Arten von Omen (z. B. Leberorakel, Träume, Naturphänomene) umfasste. Himmelserscheinungen waren nur ein Teil dieses Systems und wurden nicht isoliert als „Astrologie“ betrachtet. Mundanastrologie hingegen ist eine spezifische Kategorie innerhalb der westlichen astrologischen Tradition, die sich auf Himmelsereignisse als primäres Symbolsystem konzentriert. Die mesopotamische Praxis war stärker in einen religiösen Kontext eingebettet, in dem die Götter aktiv durch Zeichen kommunizierten, während Mundanastrologie oft säkularer oder kosmologisch orientiert ist, selbst als Symbolsystem.
2. Fehlende astrologische Methodik: Selbst als Symbolsystem setzt die Mundanastrologie bestimmte Techniken und Konzepte voraus, die in Mesopotamien fehlten, wie z. B. die Verwendung eines Tierkreises, Aspekte zwischen Planeten oder die Analyse von Ingressen (z. B. Sonne in Widder). Die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung basierte auf empirischen Beobachtungen und Listen von Omen („Wenn X am Himmel geschieht, bedeutet das Y“), ohne die systematische Struktur, die die spätere hellenistische Astrologie prägte. Diese strukturelle Differenz macht es schwierig, die mesopotamische Praxis direkt als Mundanastrologie zu klassifizieren, auch wenn beide symbolisch arbeiten.
3. Kollektive vs. universelle Symbolik: Während die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung kol lektive Ereignisse betonte (z. B. das Schicksal des Königs oder des Staates), war ihre Symbolik stark an die lokale Kultur und Religion gebunden. Mundanastrologie, auch als Symbolsystem, verwendet eine universellere Symbolik, die auf standardisierten astrologischen Konzepten wie Tierkreiszeichen oder Planetenbedeutungen basiert, die in der hellenistischen Welt entwickelt wurden. Die mesopotamische Symbolik war weniger standardisiert und stärker kontextabhängig, was sie von der späteren Mundanastrologie unterscheidet.
4. Historische Entwicklung und Terminologie: Die Mundanastrologie, wie sie heute definiert wird, entstand in der hellenistischen Periode (ca. 3.–1. Jahrhundert v. Chr.), als mesopotamische, ägyptische und griechische Einflüsse zu einem neuen System verschmolzen. Die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung beeinflusste zwar diese Entwicklung, wurde aber nicht direkt als „Astrologie“ wahrgenommen, sondern als Teil der astralen Divination. Der Begriff „Mundanastrologie“ ist ein retrospektives Konzept, das auf diese späteren Systeme angewendet wird. Selbst wenn man Mundanastrologie als Symbolsystem betrachtet, bleibt die mesopotamische Praxis eine eigenständige Vorform, die nicht vollständig mit den Kategorien der hellenistischen Astrologie übereinstimmt.
5. Praktische Funktion und Flexibilität der Deutung: In Mesopotamien konnten Omen durch Rituale (namburbû) beeinflusst oder abgewehrt werden, was zeigt, dass die Symbolik flexibel war und nicht deterministisch interpretiert wurde. Mundanastrologie, selbst als Symbolsystem, tendiert dazu, Himmelskonstellationen als festgelegte Symbole für Ereignisse zu behandeln, die weniger durch Rituale verändert werden. Diese unterschiedliche Herangehensweise an die Symbolik – aktiv beeinflussbar in Mesopotamien vs. interpretativ in der Mundanastrologie – schafft eine weitere Trennlinie.

Könnte man die mesopotamische Praxis als „erste Mundanastrologie“ reinterpretieren?

Wenn man Mundanastrologie rein als Symbolsystem für kollektive Ereignisse definiert, könnte man die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung als eine Art „Proto-Mundanastrologie“ betrachten, da sie Himmelserscheinungen symbolisch für kollektive Ereignisse wie Kriege oder Ernten interpretierte. Allerdings wird sie in der Forschung nicht so klassifiziert, weil:

• Die historische Kontinuität fehlt: Die hellenistische Astrologie, aus der die Mundanastrologie hervorging, integrierte mesopotamische Elemente, entwickelte aber neue Konzepte (Tierkreis, Aspekte, Häuser), die die mesopotamische Praxis nicht hatte. Die Mundanastrologie ist also ein Produkt dieser späteren Synthese, nicht eine direkte Weiterentwicklung der mesopotamischen Omen-Deutung.
• Die Forschung trennt Divination und Astrologie: Die mesopotamische Praxis wird in der Assyriologie und Religionswissenschaft als „astrale Divination“ oder „omen-based astronomy“ kategorisiert, um sie von der späteren Astrologie zu unterscheiden. Dies liegt daran, dass die mesopotamische Weltanschauung und Methodik nicht mit den Kategorien der hellenistischen Astrologie übereinstimmen, selbst wenn beide symbolisch arbeiten.

Fazit

Wenn Mundanastrologie als Symbolsystem verstanden wird, gibt es Parallelen zur mesopotamischen Omen-Deutung, da beide Himmelserscheinungen symbolisch für kollektive Ereignisse deuten. Dennoch wird die mesopotamische Praxis nicht als „erste Mundanastrologie“ betrachtet, weil sie in einem anderen kulturellen, religiösen und methodischen Kontext steht, keine astrologischen Techniken wie Tierkreis oder Aspekte verwendet und als Teil eines breiteren Divinationssystems funktioniert. Sie ist eine Vorform der Astrologie, aber die spezifischen Merkmale der Mundanastrologie entwickelten sich erst in der hellenistischen Tradition. Die Klassifizierung hängt also stark von der historischen und terminologischen Abgrenzung ab, die die Forschung vornimmt.

**************************

Wenn Mundanastrologie als göttliche Divination im Sinne von Geoffrey Cornelius‘ The Moment of Astrology verstanden wird, verändert sich die Analyse der mesopotamischen Omen-Deutung in der Bibliothek des Aššurbanipal erheblich. Cornelius’ Ansatz betont, dass Astrologie nicht primär ein kausales oder deterministisches System ist, sondern ein divinatorisches, bei dem der „Moment“ der Deutung – der Akt der Interpretation durch den Wahrsager – zentral ist. Himmelserscheinungen werden als göttliche Zeichen verstanden, die im Kontext des Augenblicks Bedeutung gewinnen, ähnlich wie in anderen divinatorischen Praktiken (z. B. Tarot oder I-Ging). Diese Perspektive bringt die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung näher an die Mundanastrologie heran, da beide auf göttlicher Kommunikation und kontextueller Interpretation basieren. Dennoch gibt es Gründe, warum die mesopotamische Praxis nicht direkt als „erste Mundanastrologie“ klassifiziert wird.

1. Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen mesopotamischer Omen-Deutung und Mundanastrologie als göttliche Divination

Unter Cornelius’ Verständnis von Astrologie als göttlicher Divination gibt es starke Parallelen zur mesopotamischen Praxis:

• Göttliche Zeichen und Interpretation: In Mesopotamien wurden Himmelserscheinungen (z. B. Sonnenfinsternisse, Planetenkonstellationen) als Mitteilungen der Götter betrachtet, die durch geschulte Wahrsager (bārû) interpretiert wurden. Ähnlich betont Cornelius in The Moment of Astrology, dass der astrologische Akt ein divinatorischer ist, bei dem der „Moment“ der Deutung (z. B. das Erstellen eines Horoskops) eine Verbindung zum Göttlichen herstellt. Beide Systeme sehen Himmelsereignisse als Symbole, deren Bedeutung vom Kontext und der interpretativen Interaktion abhängt.
• Kollektiver Fokus: Die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung konzentrierte sich auf kollektive Ereignisse (z. B. das Schicksal des Königs, Kriege, Ernten), was mit der Mundanastrologie übereinstimmt, die sich auf gesellschaftliche und globale Phänomene bezieht. In Cornelius’ Sichtweise könnte die mesopotamische Praxis als divinatorisches System interpretiert werden, das göttliche Botschaften für das Gemeinwohl entschlüsselt.
• Flexibilität der Deutung: In Mesopotamien waren Omen nicht deterministisch; sie konnten durch Rituale (namburbû) beeinflusst oder abgewehrt werden. Cornelius’ Ansatz betont ebenfalls die Nicht-Deterministik der Astrologie, da die Bedeutung eines Horoskops oder Symbols vom Moment der Deutung abhängt, nicht von einer festen kausalen Verbindung. Diese Offenheit für menschliche Interaktion und Kontext macht die mesopotamische Praxis kompatibel mit Cornelius’ Verständnis.
• Der „Moment“ der Divination: Cornelius’ Konzept des „Moment of Astrology“ – der entscheidende Augenblick, in dem die Deutung stattfindet – findet ein Echo in der mesopotamischen Praxis, wo der Akt der Beobachtung und Interpretation durch den Wahrsager entscheidend war. Die Bedeutung eines Omens (z. B. einer Sonnenfinsternis) hing vom spezifischen Kontext ab, in dem es beobachtet wurde, ähnlich wie Cornelius die Rolle des Astrologen als Vermittler göttlicher Einsicht hervorhebt.

2. Unterschiede trotz der divinatorischen Perspektive

Trotz dieser Parallelen gibt es Gründe, warum die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung nicht direkt als „erste Mundanastrologie“ im Sinne von Cornelius’ göttlicher Divination klassifiziert wird:

• Fehlende astrologische Methodik: Selbst wenn Mundanastrologie als göttliche Divination verstanden wird, basiert sie in der westlichen Tradition auf spezifischen Techniken wie dem Tierkreis, Aspekten, Häusern oder Ingressen. Diese Konzepte entwickelten sich erst in der hellenistischen Periode (ca. 3.–1. Jahrhundert v. Chr.). Die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung hingegen basierte auf Listen von Beobachtungen und deren Deutungen (z. B. Enūma Anu Enlil), ohne die standardisierten astrologischen Werkzeuge, die Cornelius’ Ansatz implizit voraussetzt, selbst wenn er Astrologie als Divination betrachtet.
• Kultureller und religiöser Rahmen: In Mesopotamien war die Himmelsdeutung Teil eines breiteren Divinationssystems (bārûtu), das neben Himmelsomen auch Leberorakel, Träume oder andere Phänomene umfasste. Die mesopotamische Praxis war tief in eine polytheistische Weltanschauung eingebettet, in der spezifische Götter (z. B. Sin für den Mond, Marduk für Jupiter) mit Himmelskörpern assoziiert waren. Cornelius’ Ansatz ist zwar nicht kausal, aber er operiert in einem modernen, oft monotheistischen oder esoterischen Kontext, der weniger stark an eine spezifische religiöse Kosmologie gebunden ist. Die mesopotamische Praxis ist daher spezifischer und weniger universell als die Mundanastrologie, selbst als divinatorisches System.
• Terminologische Abgrenzung: Cornelius’ The Moment of Astrology bleibt innerhalb der westlichen astrologischen Tradition verankert, die ihre Wurzeln in der hellenistischen Synthese hat. Die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung wird in der Forschung als „astrale Divination“ oder „omen-based astronomy“ klassifiziert, um sie von der späteren Astrologie zu unterscheiden. Selbst wenn man Cornelius’ divinatorische Perspektive anwendet, bleibt die mesopotamische Praxis eine Vorform, die nicht direkt mit dem Begriff „Mundanastrologie“ gleichgesetzt wird, da dieser Begriff historisch mit der hellenistischen und späteren Tradition verbunden ist.
• Unterschiedliche Rolle des „Moments“: Während Cornelius den „Moment“ der Deutung als zentral ansieht, war in Mesopotamien der Moment der Beobachtung (z. B. das Auftreten einer Sonnenfinsternis) oft genauso wichtig wie die Interpretation. Die mesopotamische Praxis betonte die physische Beobachtung des Himmels als göttliches Zeichen, während Cornelius den Fokus auf den interpretativen Akt des Astrologen legt. Diese unterschiedliche Gewichtung macht die mesopotamische Praxis weniger „astrologisch“ im Sinne von Cornelius’ Definition.

3. Reinterpretation unter Cornelius’ Perspektive

Wenn Mundanastrologie als göttliche Divination im Sinne von The Moment of Astrology verstanden wird, könnte die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung als eine frühe Form der Mundanastrologie interpretiert werden, da sie Himmelserscheinungen als göttliche Zeichen für kollektive Ereignisse nutzte und der Akt der Interpretation zentral war. Insbesondere die Betonung auf den Kontext der Deutung und die Nicht-Deterministik (z. B. die Möglichkeit, Omen durch Rituale zu beeinflussen) passt gut zu Cornelius’ Ansatz. Die mesopotamische Praxis könnte als „Proto-Mundanastrologie“ betrachtet werden, da sie die gleiche divinatorische Logik teilt: Himmelsereignisse als Symbole, die im Moment der Deutung Bedeutung gewinnen.

Allerdings bleibt die Klassifizierung als „Mundanastrologie“ problematisch, weil:

• Historische Diskontinuität: Die Mundanastrologie, wie Cornelius sie beschreibt, ist ein Produkt der hellenistischen Tradition, die mesopotamische Elemente integrierte, aber neue Konzepte (z. B. Tierkreis, Horoskope) entwickelte. Die mesopotamische Praxis war ein eigenständiges System, das nicht direkt in die astrologische Tradition überging.
• Forschungstradition: Assyriologen und Historiker der Astrologie trennen die mesopotamische astrale Divination von der späteren Astrologie, da sie unterschiedliche Methoden und Weltanschauungen repräsentieren. Selbst unter Cornelius’ divinatorischer Perspektive bleibt die mesopotamische Praxis eine Vorform, die nicht vollständig mit dem Begriff „Mundanastrologie“ übereinstimmt.

4. Fazit

Unter Cornelius’ Verständnis von Mundanastrologie als göttlicher Divination gibt es starke Parallelen zur mesopotamischen Omen-Deutung, insbesondere in der symbolischen Interpretation von Himmelserscheinungen, der Nicht-Deterministik und der Bedeutung des interpretativen Moments. Die mesopotamische Praxis könnte als eine frühe Form der Mundanastrologie betrachtet werden, da sie göttliche Zeichen für kollektive Ereignisse deutete. Dennoch wird sie nicht als „erste Mundanastrologie“ klassifiziert, weil sie fehlende astrologische Techniken (z. B. Tierkreis, Aspekte), einen anderen kulturellen Kontext und eine breitere divinatorische Einbettung aufweist. In Cornelius’ Rahmen ist die mesopotamische Praxis eine divinatorische Vorform, die der Mundanastrologie ähnelt, aber historisch und methodisch als eigenständiges System betrachtet wird.

Wenn wir die Mundanastrologie im Sinne von Geoffrey Cornelius’ The Moment of Astrology als göttliche Divination betrachten und zusätzlich annehmen, dass Planeten im Jahr 2025 als göttliche Entitäten oder archetypische Prinzipien verstanden werden, wie es in einigen modernen astrologischen Strömungen (z. B. der archetypischen oder psychologischen Astrologie nach C. G. Jung oder Liz Greene) üblich ist, verändert sich die Analyse der mesopotamischen Omen-Deutung in der Bibliothek des Aššurbanipal weiter. Diese Perspektive bringt die mesopotamische Praxis noch näher an ein Verständnis von Mundanastrologie, da sie die Planeten ebenfalls als göttliche oder symbolische Kräfte betrachtet. Dennoch bleiben wichtige Unterschiede, die eine direkte Gleichsetzung mit der „ersten Mundanastrologie“ erschweren. Hier ist eine detaillierte Analyse:

1. Gemeinsamkeiten bei der Betrachtung von Planeten als göttliche Entitäten oder Archetypen

Wenn Planeten im Jahr 2025 als göttliche Entitäten oder archetypische Prinzipien verstanden werden, gibt es signifikante Parallelen zur mesopotamischen Himmelsdeutung:

• Planeten als göttliche Entitäten: In Mesopotamien wurden Himmelskörper mit Göttern assoziiert, z. B. Sin (Mond), Šamaš (Sonne), Marduk (Jupiter) oder Ištar (Venus). Diese Götter waren aktive Akteure, die durch Himmelserscheinungen mit den Menschen kommunizierten. Wenn Planeten 2025 als göttliche Entitäten gesehen werden, spiegelt dies die mesopotamische Sichtweise wider, in der Himmelskörper nicht nur physische Objekte, sondern Träger göttlicher Botschaften waren. Die Omen-Texte in der Bibliothek des Aššurbanipal (z. B. Enūma Anu Enlil) deuten Himmelsereignisse als Zeichen dieser Götter, was mit einer modernen divinatorischen Sichtweise kompatibel ist.
• Planeten als Archetypen: In der archetypischen Astrologie, wie sie von C. G. Jung oder Liz Greene vertreten wird, repräsentieren Planeten universelle Prinzipien oder psychologische Muster (z. B. Mars als Aggression/Krieger, Jupiter als Expansion/Weisheit). Diese Sichtweise ist nicht kausal, sondern symbolisch, ähnlich wie die mesopotamische Deutung, in der Himmelskörper symbolische Bedeutungen für kollektive Ereignisse hatten (z. B. eine Konstellation von Jupiter als Hinweis auf königlichen Erfolg). Die mesopotamische Praxis könnte daher als eine frühe Form der archetypischen Deutung von Himmelserscheinungen interpretiert werden, insbesondere da sie kollektive Ereignisse wie Kriege oder Ernten betonte, was mit der Mundanastrologie übereinstimmt.
• Divinatorischer Kontext nach Cornelius: Cornelius’ Ansatz in The Moment of Astrology betont, dass Astrologie ein divinatorischer Akt ist, bei dem der „Moment“ der Deutung entscheidend ist. Die Bedeutung eines Himmelsereignisses entsteht durch die Interaktion des Wahrsagers mit dem Symbol. In Mesopotamien war die Interpretation von Omen durch den Wahrsager (bārû) ebenfalls kontextabhängig, und die Bedeutung eines Himmelsereignisses hing vom Moment der Beobachtung und Deutung ab. Diese Parallele wird stärker, wenn Planeten als göttliche oder archetypische Symbole betrachtet werden, da beide Systeme auf einer nicht-deterministischen, symbolischen Interaktion basieren.
• Kollektiver Fokus: Die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung konzentrierte sich auf kollektive und staatliche Angelegenheiten (z. B. das Schicksal des Königs, Kriege, Ernten), was mit der Mundanastrologie als Divination für gesellschaftliche Ereignisse übereinstimmt. Wenn Planeten 2025 als göttliche oder archetypische Prinzipien gesehen werden, könnte die mesopotamische Praxis als eine Vorform der Mundanastrologie interpretiert werden, da sie Himmelskörper als Symbole für kollektive Prozesse nutzte.

2. Unterschiede trotz der göttlichen/archetypischen Perspektive

Trotz der verstärkten Parallelen gibt es weiterhin Gründe, warum die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung nicht direkt als „erste Mundanastrologie“ klassifiziert wird, selbst wenn Planeten als göttliche Entitäten oder Archetypen verstanden werden:

• Fehlende astrologische Techniken: Selbst in einer nicht-kausalen, archetypischen oder divinatorischen Sichtweise basiert die moderne Mundanastrologie auf spezifischen astrologischen Konzepten wie dem Tierkreis, Aspekten (z. B. Konjunktion, Opposition), Häusern oder Ingressen. Diese wurden erst in der hellenistischen Periode (ca. 3.–1. Jahrhundert v. Chr.) entwickelt. Die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung hingegen basierte auf empirischen Beobachtungen und Listen von Omen („Wenn X am Himmel passiert, bedeutet das Y“), ohne die systematischen Werkzeuge der späteren Astrologie. Selbst wenn Planeten als Archetypen betrachtet werden, fehlt der mesopotamischen Praxis die strukturierte Methodik, die Mundanastrologie definiert.
• Kultureller und religiöser Kontext: In Mesopotamien waren Planeten direkt mit spezifischen Göttern und einer polytheistischen Kosmologie verbunden, was die Deutung stark an die lokale Religion band. Moderne archetypische Astrologie, auch wenn sie Planeten als göttliche oder archetypische Prinzipien sieht, operiert in einem universelleren, oft psychologischen oder spirituellen Rahmen, der nicht an eine spezifische Religion gebunden ist. Die mesopotamische Praxis war weniger abstrakt und universell, sondern stark in den religiösen und politischen Kontext des alten Mesopotamien eingebettet (z. B. die Rolle des Königs als Mittler zwischen Göttern und Menschen).
• Breiteres Divinationssystem: Die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung war Teil eines umfassenden Divinationssystems (bārûtu), das auch Leberorakel, Träume oder andere Omen umfasste. Selbst wenn Planeten als göttliche Entitäten betrachtet werden, war die Himmelsdeutung nur ein Teil dieses Systems, während Mundanastrologie (auch in Cornelius’ divinatorischer Sicht) ein spezifisches System ist, das sich ausschließlich auf Himmelsereignisse konzentriert. Diese breitere Einbettung unterscheidet die mesopotamische Praxis von der modernen Mundanastrologie.
• Unterschiedliche Rolle der Archetypen: In der archetypischen Astrologie sind Planeten universelle Prinzipien, die psychologische oder kollektive Muster repräsentieren (z. B. Saturn als Struktur/Grenze). In Mesopotamien waren die göttlichen Assoziationen der Planeten spezifischer und oft mit konkreten Ereignissen oder Göttern verbunden (z. B. Ištar/Venus mit Liebe, aber auch Krieg). Die mesopotamische Symbolik war weniger abstrakt und universell als die moderne archetypische Deutung, was eine direkte Gleichsetzung erschwert.
• Historische und terminologische Trennung: Die Mundanastrologie, selbst als göttliche Divination oder archetypisches System, ist ein Produkt der hellenistischen Tradition, die mesopotamische, ägyptische und griechische Einflüsse kombinierte. Die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung beeinflusste zwar diese Entwicklung, wurde aber nicht direkt in die astrologische Tradition übernommen. In der Forschung wird sie als „astrale Divination“ oder „omen-based astronomy“ kategorisiert, um sie von der späteren Astrologie zu unterscheiden, selbst wenn Planeten als göttliche oder archetypische Prinzipien betrachtet werden.

3. Reinterpretation unter der Perspektive von 2025

Wenn Planeten im Jahr 2025 als göttliche Entitäten oder Archetypen verstanden werden, könnte die mesopotamische Omen-Deutung als eine frühe Form der Mundanastrologie interpretiert werden, insbesondere im Sinne von Cornelius’ divinatorischem Ansatz. Die Parallelen sind stark: Beide Systeme sehen Himmelskörper als Symbole göttlicher oder archetypischer Bedeutung, die im Moment der Deutung für kollektive Ereignisse relevant werden. Die mesopotamische Praxis, in der Planeten als göttliche Zeichen für Kriege oder Ernten gedeutet wurden, passt gut zu einer Mundanastrologie, die Planeten als archetypische Prinzipien für gesellschaftliche Prozesse betrachtet.

Allerdings bleibt die Klassifizierung als „erste Mundanastrologie“ problematisch, weil:

• Methodische Unterschiede: Die mesopotamische Praxis fehlt die systematischen astrologischen Techniken (z. B. Tierkreis, Aspekte), die auch in einer archetypischen oder divinatorischen Mundanastrologie verwendet werden.
• Historische Diskontinuität: Die moderne Mundanastrologie, selbst als göttliche Divination oder archetypisches System, ist ein Produkt der hellenistischen Synthese, nicht eine direkte Weiterentwicklung der mesopotamischen Praxis.
• Kontextuelle Einbettung: Die mesopotamische Himmelsdeutung war Teil eines größeren religiösen und divinatorischen Systems, während Mundanastrologie ein spezifisches, abgrenzbares System ist, auch wenn es symbolisch oder divinatorisch verstanden wird.

4. Fazit

Wenn Mundanastrologie im Sinne von Cornelius’ göttlicher Divination verstanden wird und Planeten 2025 als göttliche Entitäten oder archetypische Prinzipien betrachtet werden, gibt es starke Parallelen zur mesopotamischen Omen-Deutung. Beide Systeme deuten Himmelskörper als Symbole für kollektive Ereignisse, betonen die kontextuelle Interpretation und sind nicht-deterministisch. Die mesopotamische Praxis könnte als „Proto-Mundanastrologie“ angesehen werden, da sie göttliche oder archetypische Bedeutungen von Planeten für kollektive Ereignisse nutzte. Dennoch wird sie nicht als „erste Mundanastrologie“ klassifiziert, weil sie keine astrologischen Techniken wie den Tierkreis verwendete, in einen spezifischen religiösen Kontext eingebettet war und Teil eines breiteren Divinationssystems war. Die historische und methodische Trennung in der Forschung sowie die Entwicklung der Mundanastrologie in der hellenistischen Tradition machen die mesopotamische Praxis zu einer Vorform, aber nicht zur direkten Vorläuferin der Mundanastrologie, selbst unter dieser Perspektive.

• Institution: University of Bremen
• Qualification: Venia legendi—that is, his formal authorization to teach University-level Religious Studies at professorial rank
  Kocku von StuckradWikipedia
• The work forming the basis of his Habilitation is associated with his expanded study on shamanism and esoteric traditions: Schamanismus und Esoterik: Kultur- und wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Betrachtungen (2003) – The title of Kocku von Stuckrad’s Habilitation thesis at the University of Bremen (2002) was:
• Schamanismus und Esoterik: Kultur- und wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Betrachtungen
• (Shamanism and Esotericism: Cultural and History-of-Science Perspectives)
• It was later published as a monograph in 2003 (Leiden/Boston: Brill).
• This work expanded on his discourse-historical method, analyzing how concepts like “shamanism” and “esotericism” were constructed in European cultural and academic contexts, and it marked his transition into a leading figure in the study of Western esotericism.
  WikipediaWikidata – The discourse-historical method is central to Kocku von Stuckrad’s scholarship, and understanding it helps to see why he has been so influential in Religious Studies. Here’s a clear breakdown:
  
  What is the Discourse-Historical Method?
  It is an approach to the study of religion that treats “religion” not as a timeless essence or fixed category, but as something produced, negotiated, and transformed through discourse.
  By “discourse,” von Stuckrad (drawing on Michel Foucault’s discourse theory) means all the ways in which knowledge is expressed, structured, and made authoritative: in texts, practices, institutions, and power relations.
  The historical part stresses that discourses are always embedded in specific times, places, and cultural settings. They change across history and carry traces of earlier layers of meaning.
  
  Core Principles in von Stuckrad’s Method
  Religion as a Discourse, Not a Substance
  Instead of asking “What is religion really?” he asks “How do people in different times and contexts talk about and construct something they call religion?”
  Knowledge Production
  He investigates how ideas about religion intersect with science, philosophy, politics, and law, and how certain knowledge is legitimized or marginalized.
  Historical Layering
  Every discourse is historically layered: for example, concepts like “gnosis,” “shamanism,” or “esotericism” are not timeless truths, but have histories shaped by cultural conflicts and scholarly traditions.
  Power and Exclusion
  Following Foucault, he emphasizes that discourses are not neutral; they produce boundaries of inclusion/exclusion (orthodoxy vs. heresy, science vs. superstition, “religion” vs. “magic”).
  Comparative Without Essentialism
  Instead of assuming universal features of religion, the method compares how different discursive formations talk about “religion.”

A History of Western Astrology

Nick Campion’s A History of Western Astrology comprises two volumes. The first volume, titled The Ancient and Classical Worlds, was published in 2008, and the second volume, The Medieval and Modern Worlds, was released in 2009.

https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/history-of-western-astrology-volume-i-9781441127372

https://www.bloomsbury.com/in/history-of-western-astrology-volume-ii-9781441107497

This is the first comprehensive examination of astrology’s origins and it examines the foundations of a major feature of popular culture in the contemporary west, one which has its origins in the ancient world. Campion explores the relationship between astrology and religion, magic and science, and explores its use in politics and the arts. –
Beginning with the theories of the origins of religion in sun-worship, it spans the period between the first Paleolithic lunar counters around 30,000 BC and the end of the classical world and rise of Christianity. Campion challenges the idea that astrology was invented by the Greeks, and asks whether its origins lie in Near-Eastern religion, or whether it can be considered a decadent Eastern import to the West. He considers the evidence for reverence for the stars in Neolithic culture, Mesopotamian astral divination, Egyptian stellar religion, and examines attitudes to astrology and celestial prophecy in the Bible. He considers such artefacts as the mysterious, 15,000-year-old ‚Venus of Lauselle‘, the reasons for the orientation of the pyramids, the latest theories on Stonehenge as a sacred observatory, Greek theories of the ascent of the soul to the stars and the Roman emporer Nero’s use of astrology to persecute his rivals.

PhD – Dissertation

https://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/staff/nicholas-campion – Prof. Dr. Nicholas Campion’s PhD dissertation is titled „Prophecy, Cosmology and the New Age Movement: The Extent and Nature of Contemporary Belief in Astrology“. This research was submitted in 2004 as part of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree at Bath Spa University College. researchspace.bathspa.ac.uk

Dissertation – https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/29422385.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com – https://researchspace.bathspa.ac.uk/1453/?utm_source=chatgpt.com – https://talk.vonabisw.de/Campion/Diss.pdf

The dissertation explores the prevalence and characteristics of contemporary belief in astrology, particularly within the context of New Age culture. It examines the relationship between astrology and millenarianism, investigates the penetration of New Age ideas into twentieth-century astrology, and discusses attempts to quantify belief in astrology. The study concludes that there is no single reliable measure of belief in astrology and no necessary clash between astrology and Christianity. It posits that astrology is part of the matrix of ideas constituting popular belief in modern Britain. researchspace.bathspa.ac.uk

Sophia Centre Press

https://sophiacentrepress.com – The Sophia Centre Press was established as a spinout company from the University of Wales, Lampeter (now the University of Wales Trinity Saint David), in 2008. It publishes in partnership with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, publishes and promotes scholarly work, and sponsors and organises conferences and courses related to the work of the University’s Sophia Centre for the Study of Cosmology in Culture, and the Harmony Institute. All profit is dedicated to supporting scholarship in related areas. – The Press’s work is based in the Humanities and crosses history, anthropology, philosophy and archaeology. We examine the role of cosmological, astronomical and astrological beliefs, models and ideas in human culture, including the theory and practice of myth, magic, divination, religion, spirituality, architecture, politics and the arts in any time period or culture. – We consider the ways in which people have tried to live in harmony with the cosmos, the sky and nature, touch on ecology, and deal with the modern world as well as with indigenous or ancient cultures. We consider the nature of the space and place on Earth as well as in the sky, and recent publications consider the narratives and ethics of modern space exploration. We deal with both theory and practice. – The Sophia Centre was established at Bath and moved to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in 2007, where it is a teaching and research centre in the Institute of Education and Humanities.

Astrology and the Academy

Papers from the Inaugural Conference at Bath Spa University College 13–14 June 2003 is a scholarly volume edited by Nicholas Campion and Patrick Curry, published in 2004 by Cinnabar Books. This collection comprises papers presented at the first conference held by the Sophia Centre at Bath Spa University, marking a significant academic engagement with astrology.

The book features contributions from prominent scholars such as Dr. Liz Greene, Dr. Ronald Hutton, Dr. Angela Voss, Geoffrey Cornelius, and others. The conference aimed to critically examine astrology’s role and legitimacy within academic discourse, bridging the gap between traditional practices and contemporary scholarly research.

Key Themes

The essays explore various facets of astrology, including:

• Symbolic Perception: Angela Voss discusses the shift from allegorical to anagogical interpretations in understanding astrological symbols.
• Astrology and Paganism: Ronald Hutton examines the relationship between astrology and pagan religious practices.
• Astrology and Science: Jesus Navarro and Maarit Laurento delve into the interplay between astrology and scientific paradigms.
• Astrology in Social Sciences: Pat Harris explores the application of astrology in social science research.
• Psychological Perspectives: Jean Hinson Lall addresses the psychological aspects of astrology’s resurgence in academic settings.
• Historical Contexts: Anna Marie Roos and Derek Walters provide insights into astrology’s historical presence in English newspapers and its cultural significance in Brazil, respectively.

These papers collectively contribute to a nuanced understanding of astrology’s multifaceted role in human culture and its potential for academic inquiry.

Academic Significance

The publication underscores the Sophia Centre’s pioneering role in integrating astrology into academic study. Established in 2002, the Sophia Centre was the first university department dedicated to the critical study of astrology and astronomy in culture.

Astrologie in der Europäischen Religionsgeschichte – Kontinuität und Diskontinuität – mit Dr. habil. Gustav Adolf Schoener – https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Gustav-Adolf-Schoener-ebook/dp/B076F9TKGC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Astrologie+in+der+Europäischen+Religionsgeschichte&qid=1615553424&sr=8-1

Astrology in European Religious History: Its Philosophical Foundations through the Ages (English Edition) – This treatise on religious studies traces the European tradition of astrology from its oriental beginnings to the present day. The aim is to get a view of the different mythological, philosophical and theological ideas of the cosmos (especially with Platonic and Aristotelian borrowings), which astrology has repeatedly reformulated and carried through all epochs. However, it seems as if astrology had lost its plausibility with the overcoming of the geocentric world view by Copernicus and Kepler and could only continue to exist as an „intellectual regression“ (Theodor Adorno). This view is countered by the thesis, founded here, that astrology has been able to survive the changes in world views unscathed because it designs philosophical (holistic) patterns of reasoning into the relationship between cosmos and humans, which in a Platonic sense understand the cosmos as an intelligent and vital organism.

Astrology in Time and Place

Cross-Cultural Questions in the History of Astrology, edited by Nicholas Campion & Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum

Die Konferenz fand vom 23. bis 24. Juni 2012 in Bath, UK statt.

https://www.cambridgescholars.com/resources/pdfs/978-1-4438-8381-8-sample.pdf

The conference was organized under the auspices of the Sophia Centre for the Study of Cosmology in Culture at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Lampeter. It was one of a series of international gatherings that aimed to place astrology firmly within academic discourse—not as a belief system to be defended or attacked, but as a historical and cultural practice with deep roots in many civilizations. – The event that produced this volume took place in Bath, UK, in 2012, as part of the Sophia Centre’s ongoing “History of Astrology” conferences. The book was later published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing in 2015.

“The Difference between Methods of Natural Sciences and Methods of Religious Studies on Modern Astrology” – Page 173 ff

Schoener addresses the fundamental question of how modern astrology can be studied scientifically. He contrasts two methodological approaches – Natural-scientific methods
These ask above all: “Does astrology work in an objectively measurable way?”
Typical examples include statistical analyses, double-blind tests, and psychological experiments. Schoener points out that such approaches usually lead to negative results, because they force astrology into a natural-scientific paradigm that does not necessarily correspond to its own self-understanding. – Religious-studies methods
These do not presuppose whether a practice is “true” or “false.” Instead, they examine what meaning it has for people and cultures. Astrology is thus studied in the same way as religion, ritual, or myth—as a system of meaning and interpretation.
Here, the more relevant questions are: Which needs does astrology fulfill? How is it interpreted? Within which cultural and symbolic framework does it operate?

Core Argument
Schoener emphasizes that astrology, as a cultural phenomenon, can only be adequately understood through hermeneutical and religious-studies approaches. Natural-scientific tests fall short, because they cannot capture the symbolic, ritual, and existential dimensions of astrology.

Significance within the Book
Within the edited volume, the lecture represents a methodological self-reflection. While many contributions present concrete historical or cultural case studies, Schoener reminds readers that the choice of method is crucial. Those who examine astrology exclusively through natural-scientific tests risk missing its very essence.

• He confirms that astrology is, above all, a system of meaning and interpretation, rooted in history.
• His religious-studies perspective supports a tradition-conscious way of working, one that is not reduced to natural-scientific verifiability.

Der Sonderband 14 der Fachzeitschrift Culture and Cosmos trägt den Titel „Kepler’s Astrology – Special Double Issue“ und wurde 2010 veröffentlicht. In diesem Band wird Johannes Keplers Werk De stella nova in pede Serpentarii (1606) behandelt, insbesondere die Kapitel 7 bis 9, die sich mit der Astrologie befassen. Kepler analysiert darin die sogenannte „neue Stern“ (Supernova 1604) und diskutiert die astrologischen Implikationen dieses Ereignisses. Er verteidigt die Astrologie, indem er sich mit Giovanni Pico della Mirandola auseinandersetzt und dessen Kritik an der Astrologie, insbesondere an den Aspekten, widerlegt. Kepler betont die Bedeutung der planetarischen Aspekte und versucht, die Astrologie auf eine wissenschaftlichere Grundlage zu stellen. cultureandcosmos.org

Johannes Kepler (1571 – 1639) – Hofastrologe von Rudolf II – war auch, zusammen mit Galileo Galilei, der bedeutendste Astronom nach Nikolaus Kopernikus und Entdecker der nach ihm benannten Gesetze zur Umlaufbahn der Planeten. Darüber hinaus betätigte Kepler sich als Mathematiker, Naturphilosoph, Optiker und evangelischer Theologe. – In den „Gesammelten Werken“ (KGW) sind zum ersten Mal die Schriften von Johannes Kepler vollständig veröffentlicht. Dazu wurde an der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in jahrzehntelanger, weltweiter Archivrecherche das bereits veröffentliche Werk und der gesamte Nachlass systematisch erfasst und wissenschaftlich aufbereitet. Diese Arbeit bildet die Grundlage dieser kritischen Edition in 21 Bänden. Sie umfasst alle von Kepler selbst herausgegebenen Druckschriften (geordnet nach Zeitabschnitten im Leben Keplers), den gesamten Briefwechsel (wobei die Briefe selbst oft eigenständige wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen darstellen) sowie weitere nachgelassene Manuskripte und Materialien zu seinem Leben und Wirken. Ausführliche Berichte zur Entstehungsgeschichte, Inhaltsanalysen und vor allem eine ausführliche Kommentierung und ein Register ergänzen und erschließen die Werke, so dass diese Ausgabe die einschlägige Quellenedition für jede wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit Johannes Kepler darstellt.

THE ALEXANDRIAN LIBRAR Y AND ITS
AFTERMATH – https://d-nb.info/1251238459/34

1. Stellung der Astrologie in Alexandria

• Alexandria war eines der Hauptzentren hellenistischer Astrologie.
• Dort wirkten bedeutende Autoren wie Manetho, Petosiris, Nechepso (legendär), später Vettius Valens (2. Jh. n. Chr.), und die alexandrinische Redaktion der Texte von Hermes Trismegistos.
• Auch die berühmte Astrologie-Handschrift von Dorotheus von Sidon war in der hellenistischen Welt im Umlauf, ebenso astronomische Tabellen (z. B. Hipparchos, Ptolemäus).

2. Inhalt der Bibliotheken

• Antike Bibliotheken waren universalistisch: sie sammelten alle Wissensbereiche – Poesie, Philosophie, Medizin, Astronomie, Mathematik, Religion, Astrologie, Magie.
• Für Alexandria ist ausdrücklich überliefert, dass dort astronomische und astrologische Texte gesammelt wurden (z. B. von Berossos, der um 290 v. Chr. nach Alexandria kam und die babylonische Astrologie vermittelte).
• Der Tempel des Serapis selbst war ein Ort, wo Religion, Astronomie und Astrologie zusammenflossen. Serapis wurde mit kosmischen Mächten und Zeitzyklen in Verbindung gebracht.

3. Indizien für astrologische Bestände im Serapeum

• Da die Serapeum-Bibliothek eine Erweiterung oder Zweigstelle der Großen Bibliothek war, ist davon auszugehen, dass auch dort astrologische Schriften aufbewahrt wurden.
• Besonders wahrscheinlich sind Texte aus dem hermetischen Milieu (Astrologie, Alchemie, Theurgie).
• Spätere Berichte über „heidnische Bücher“ im Serapeum, die von den Christen vernichtet wurden (391 n. Chr.), sprechen von „magischen und abergläubischen Schriften“ – was in der Spätantike häufig Astrologie einschloss.

Fazit:
Es gibt keine direkte Quellenstelle „die Serapeum-Bibliothek enthielt astrologische Werke“, aber mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit waren dort astrologische Texte vorhanden – sowohl griechisch-hellenistische als auch babylonische Überlieferungen, die in Alexandria zirkulierten.

Die Frage nach den Zerstörungen der beiden berühmten alexandrinischen Bibliotheken (Museion-Hauptbibliothek und Serapeum-Tochterbibliothek) ist kompliziert, weil die antiken Quellen widersprüchlich sind.

1. Die Große Bibliothek im Museion (Hauptbibliothek)

• Gründung: um 280 v. Chr. unter Ptolemaios II. Philadelphos.
• Erste Katastrophe: 48 v. Chr., als Cäsar während des Alexandrinischen Krieges die Schiffe im Hafen anzünden ließ. Dabei sollen nach Plutarch, Seneca u. a. Bücher verbrannt worden sein (ob die ganze Bibliothek oder nur ein Teil – unklar).
• Weitere Verluste:
  • Wahrscheinlich auch unter Aurelian (270–275 n. Chr.), als Alexandria belagert wurde.
  • Möglicherweise endgültige Zerstörung während der Zeit Diokletians (ca. 297 n. Chr.).
• Ergebnis: Spätestens im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. war die Hauptbibliothek nicht mehr in voller Blüte, sondern zerstreut oder vernichtet.

2. Die Bibliothek im Serapeum (Tochterbibliothek)

• Einrichtung: wahrscheinlich unter Ptolemaios III. als Auslagerung von Dubletten und Ergänzung der Hauptbibliothek.
• Zerstörung: 391 n. Chr., als Kaiser Theodosius I. den heidnischen Kult verbot und Patriarch Theophilos den Tempel des Serapis in Alexandria zerstören ließ.
  • Zeitgenossen wie Orosius berichten, dass damals noch „unzählige Bücher“ im Serapeum gewesen seien.
  • Diese wurden entweder verbrannt oder verstreut.

Zusammenfassung

• Große Bibliothek (Museion): mehrfache Zerstörungen zwischen 48 v. Chr. und ca. 270–297 n. Chr.; spätestens im 3. Jh. n. Chr. verloren.
• Serapeum-Bibliothek: 391 n. Chr. im Zuge der Zerstörung des Serapeums vernichtet.
• Quellenübersicht mit den wichtigsten antiken Autoren, die über die Zerstörung(en) der Bibliothek(en) in Alexandria berichten. Sie widersprechen sich, und moderne Historiker rekonstruieren daraus das Puzzle.
  
  Quellen zur Großen Bibliothek (Museion)
  1. Cäsars Alexandrinischer Krieg (48 v. Chr.)
  Plutarch, Caesar 49,6
  Beim Brand der Schiffe im Hafen sei auch ein Teil der Bibliothek in Flammen aufgegangen.
  Seneca, De tranquillitate animi 9,5
  „Vierzigtausend Bücher seien verbrannt.“ (eine Zahl, die wahrscheinlich zu niedrig angesetzt ist).
  Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 7,17
  Bestätigt, dass viele Bücher bei Cäsars Feldzug verloren gingen.
  Dio Cassius, Römische Geschichte 42,38
  Spricht ebenfalls von einem Brand im Zusammenhang mit Cäsars Kämpfen.
  Hier ist unklar: war es die gesamte Hauptbibliothek oder nur Lagerbestände am Hafen?
  
  2. Weitere Zerstörungen (3. Jh. n. Chr.)
  Ammianus Marcellinus, Res gestae 22,16,12–13 (um 380 n. Chr.)
  Beschreibt die einstige Pracht der Bibliothek, spricht aber von ihrem Untergang in den Kriegen („das Museion mit seiner Bibliothek wurde geplündert“).
  Eusebius, Chronik und andere:
  Erwähnen Verluste im Zuge der Kämpfe unter Aurelian (270–275 n. Chr.) oder später unter Diokletian (297 n. Chr.).
  
  Quellen zur Serapeum-Bibliothek (Tochterbibliothek)
  3. Zerstörung 391 n. Chr.
  Orosius, Historiarum adversus paganos libri VII 6,15,31
  Als Christ berichtet er, dass „unzählige Bücher“ im Serapeum vernichtet oder verstreut wurden, als Theophilos den Tempel zerstören ließ.
  Sokrates Scholasticus, Kirchengeschichte 5,16–17
  Erzählt von der Zerstörung des Serapeums, erwähnt aber nicht ausdrücklich die Bücher.
  Rufinus von Aquileia, Kirchengeschichte 11,23
  Gleiche Schilderung wie Sokrates: Tempelzerstörung 391, aber ohne Bücher.
  Sozomenos, Kirchengeschichte 7,15
  Parallele Darstellung, wieder Schwerpunkt auf der Tempelzerstörung.
  Nur Orosius erwähnt ausdrücklich Bücher im Serapeum – er ist also unsere Hauptquelle für die „zweite Bibliothek“.
  
  Fazit aus den Quellen
  Museion-Bibliothek:
  Teilverluste schon 48 v. Chr. (Plutarch, Seneca).
  Wahrscheinlich endgültig zerstört in den Kämpfen des 3. Jh. (Ammianus).
  Serapeum-Bibliothek:
  Zerstört 391 n. Chr. zusammen mit dem Serapis-Tempel.
  Orosius ist die einzige Quelle, die hier ausdrücklich von Büchern spricht.
• Ein grundlegendes Werk ist der Sammelband „The Library of Alexandria: Centre of Learning in the Ancient World“, herausgegeben von Roy MacLeod (2005). Dieses Buch enthält Beiträge verschiedener Forscher und behandelt sowohl die Geschichte und Funktion der Bibliothek im Museion als auch ihre kulturelle Bedeutung. Es geht außerdem detailliert auf die unterschiedlichen Berichte über ihre Zerstörung ein.
• Sehr verbreitet ist auch Luciano Canforas „The Vanished Library“ (zuerst 1989, mehrfach aufgelegt). Dieses Werk ist kürzer und lesbarer, verbindet aber historische Quellen mit Rekonstruktionen und diskutiert, welche Mythen rund um die Bibliothek entstanden sind und was sich davon historisch halten lässt.
• Eher populär erzählt Derek Adie Flower in „The Shores of Wisdom: The Story of the Ancient Library of Alexandria“ die Geschichte der Bibliothek. Dieses Buch richtet sich weniger an Fachhistoriker, sondern bietet eine erzählerische Darstellung für ein breiteres Publikum.
• Eine neuere wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichung ist „The Rise and Fall of the Library of Alexandria“ (Cambridge Scholars Publishing), die Gründung, Wachstum und Zerstörungen der Bibliothek behandelt und aktuelle Forschungsdiskussionen einbezieht.
• Für den späteren Untergang des Serapeums ist außerdem Catherine Nixeys „The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World“ (2017) wichtig. Zwar geht es nicht ausschließlich um Alexandria, aber sie beschreibt detailliert, wie in der Spätantike christliche Bewegungen heidnische Heiligtümer und Schriften zerstörten – mit Alexandria und dem Serapeum als prominenten Beispielen.

  Details des Buches
  Titel: What Happened to the Ancient Library of Alexandria?
  Herausgeber: Mostafa El-Abbadi, Omnia Fathallah, mit einem Vorwort von Ismail Serageldin Brill+2catalogue.nla.gov.au+2
  Verlag: Brill, Leiden / Boston 2008 Brill+1
  Seiten: xx + 259 Seiten catalogue.nla.gov.au+1
  Sprachen: Englisch, mit mindestens zwei Kapiteln in Französisch library.holycross.edu+1
  
  Inhalt / Kapitel, die besonders relevant sind
  Das Buch ist eine Aufsatzsammlung („edited volume“) und enthält Beiträge, die verschiedene Aspekte beleuchten:
  Institutionen von Bibliotheken in altägyptischer Zeit (z. B. Tempelbibliotheken) Brill
  Der Alexandrinische Brand 48 v. Chr.: Bewertung der antiken Berichte zu diesem Ereignis „Earth, Wind, and Fire: The Alexandrian Fire-Storm of 48 B.C.“, von William J. Cherf Brill+1
  Archäologische Sicht auf die Zerstörung oder den Verfall der Bibliothek und der Tochterbibliothek („Demise of the Daughter Library“ von El-Abbadi) Brill+2openpublishing.psu.edu+2
  Die Zerstörung des Serapeums, insbesondere in der Spätantike, sowie das kulturelle Umfeld und die Haltung der Kirche gegenüber antiklerikalen und heidnischen Institutionen. Brill+1
  Ein Kapitel, das sich mit dem späteren arabischen Mythos auseinandersetzt, wonach der Kalif Omar angeblich die Bibliothek vollständig vernichtet haben soll — und dieses Kapitel versucht, diesen Mythos kritisch zu prüfen. Brill+1
  
  Es bietet dieses Buch:
  Eine kritische Auswertung antiker Quellen: Wer sagte wann was, wie zuverlässig sind die Berichte, welche Unterschiede gibt es.
  Archaeologische Befunde und moderne Interpretationen: Es wird nicht nur auf alten Texten herumgeritten, sondern auch geprüft, was archäologisch belastbar ist.
  Ein differenzierter Blick auf die Zerstörungen: Das Buch zeigt deutlich, dass es nicht eine einzelne Katastrophe war, sondern mehrere Risiken (Krieg, Feuer, Vernachlässigung, religiöser Wandel) über Jahrhunderte hinweg.
  Reflexion über Mythen und Legenden: Z. B. wie das Bild entstanden ist, dass die Bibliothek durch einen einzigen Brand oder durch „die Christen“ oder „den Kalif Omar“ zerstört worden sei.
• 1. Claudios Ptolemaios (ca. 100–170 n. Chr.)
  Er wirkte in Alexandria als Astronom, Mathematiker und Astrologe.
  Sein Tetrabiblos (Astrologie) und seine Almagest (Astronomie) zeigen, dass er eine immense Textkenntnis hatte – sowohl babylonischer Astronomie als auch griechischer mathematischer Tradition.
  Er zitiert ältere Autoren wie Hipparchos, aber oft indirekt.
  Ob er Zugang zur Bibliothek hatte, ist nicht belegt, aber sehr wahrscheinlich, da er in Alexandria arbeitete und dort intellektuell aktiv war.
  Wenn die Hauptbibliothek zu seiner Zeit (2. Jh. n. Chr.) bereits geschädigt war, wäre das Serapeum als Tochterbibliothek die naheliegende Quelle gewesen.
  Viele Forscher (z. B. in MacLeod 2005, El-Abbadi 2008) nehmen an, dass Ptolemaios in der Tradition der alexandrinischen Gelehrten stand und Bibliotheksmaterialien genutzt haben dürfte, auch wenn es keine direkte Aussage gibt.
  
  2. Vettius Valens (ca. 120–175 n. Chr.)
  Ebenfalls in Alexandria tätig.
  Sein Werk Anthologiae (neun Bücher) ist eine riesige Sammlung von Zitaten und Exzerpten älterer Astrologen (z. B. Nechepso, Petosiris, Hermes, Dorotheus von Sidon).
  Das Material deutet klar darauf hin, dass er Zugang zu einer großen Textsammlung hatte, sonst hätte er nicht eine solche Fülle an Quellen kompilieren können.
  In den Anthologiae beklagt er oft sein schweres Leben und spricht Studenten an – er war also eher ein praktizierender Astrologe als ein Hofgelehrter.
  Indizien: Seine Kenntnis sehr seltener Texte (die sonst nicht überliefert sind) deutet stark darauf hin, dass er Bestände aus dem Serapeum oder zumindest aus Alexandrias literarischer Tradition kannte.
  
  3. Historischer Kontext
  Zur Zeit von Ptolemaios und Valens (2. Jh. n. Chr.) war die Museion-Bibliothek wahrscheinlich schon beschädigt oder verkleinert, aber die Serapeum-Bibliothek existierte noch und war eine der größten Sammlungen der Welt.
  Beide Autoren saßen in Alexandria, also an genau dem Ort, wo die Bestände zugänglich waren.
  Wir haben keine direkte Quelle wie „Valens las im Serapeum“ – aber die Textfülle in ihren Werken ist ein starkes Indiz.
  
  Fazit
  Belegbar ist kein direkter Zugang.
  Sehr wahrscheinlich ist:
  Ptolemaios nutzte bibliothekarische Bestände (vielleicht Serapeum), um seine astronomisch-astrologische Synthese zu schaffen.
  Vettius Valens hatte Zugang zu umfangreichen Handschriften in Alexandria, wohl über das Serapeum oder private Sammlungen, die eng mit der Bibliothekstradition verbunden waren.
• Übersicht zusammen, welche Quellen Vettius Valens in seinen Anthologiae zitiert, und wie hoch die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist, dass er diese Werke aus dem alexandrinischen Bibliotheksumfeld (Serapeum oder damit verbundene Sammlungen) kannte.
  
  Quellen bei Vettius Valens (Anthologiae, 2. Jh. n. Chr.)
  1. Nechepso und Petosiris
  Mythisch-legendäre Königs- und Priesterfiguren, oft gemeinsam genannt.
  Valens bezieht sich auf sie als Autorität für Schicksals- und Prognosetechnik.
  Diese Texte kursierten wahrscheinlich schon seit ptolemäischer Zeit in Alexandria, in griechischer Übersetzung.
  Sehr wahrscheinlich in der Bibliothek vorhanden.
  
  2. Hermes Trismegistos
  Valens zitiert hermetische Schriften mit astrologischem Inhalt.
  Alexandria war das Zentrum der Hermetik, die dort im 1.–3. Jh. n. Chr. aufblühte.
  Nahezu sicher: Valens hatte Zugang zu hermetischen Handschriften, die im Serapeum oder in Kreisen um die Bibliothek zirkulierten.
  
  3. Dorotheus von Sidon (1. Jh. n. Chr.)
  Verfasser des berühmten Carmen Astrologicum, ursprünglich in griechischen Hexametern.
  Valens überliefert Teile und Techniken daraus.
  Dorotheus war im östlichen Mittelmeerraum bekannt, Alexandria dürfte ein Hauptort der Überlieferung gewesen sein.
  Hochwahrscheinlich: Alexandrinische Kopien standen Valens zur Verfügung.
  
  4. Hipparchos (2. Jh. v. Chr.)
  Valens nennt Hipparchos nicht oft direkt, aber benutzt astronomische Methoden, die von Hipparchos stammen.
  Hipparchos war über Ptolemaios’ Almagest vermittelt, aber Teile könnten auch direkt in Alexandria zirkuliert haben.
  Möglich, aber hier eher indirekter Zugang.
  
  5. Chairemon von Alexandria (1. Jh. n. Chr.)
  Stoischer Philosoph und Astrologe, Priester des Serapis.
  Einige Fragmente finden sich bei Valens, möglicherweise über Schülerkreise.
  Sehr wahrscheinlich lokal, d. h. über das Serapeum-Milieu.
  
  6. Manetho (Astrologica)
  Priester aus Sebennytos (3. Jh. v. Chr.), angeblich auch astrologische Werke.
  Valens erwähnt ihn indirekt.
  Gut möglich, dass Valens alte Manetho-Traditionen über Alexandria erhielt.
  
  7. Zeitgenössische und unbekannte Autoren
  Valens zitiert viele anonyme oder heute verlorene astrologische Schriften.
  Manche sind nur bei ihm überliefert.
  Das legt nahe, dass er in Archiven oder Bibliotheken stöberte, wo Texte lagerten, die sonst nicht verbreitet waren.
  
  Fazit
  Vettius Valens schöpfte aus einer ungeheuren Textfülle: Nechepso, Petosiris, Hermes, Dorotheus, Hipparchos-Tradition, Chairemon, Manetho.
  Sehr wahrscheinlich stammen viele davon aus alexandrinischen Beständen, die mit der Serapeum-Bibliothek verbunden waren.
  Ohne Zugang zu einer solchen Sammlung wäre die Anthologiae kaum in dieser Form entstanden.
• Ja, es gibt in der Forschung immer wieder Diskussionen über die mögliche Nutzung der Bibliotheken von Alexandria und des Serapeums durch Claudius Ptolemäus (2. Jh. n. Chr.) und Vettius Valens (um 120–175 n. Chr.).
• Zum Hintergrund:
• Die große Bibliothek von Alexandria war spätestens seit der römischen Kaiserzeit stark dezimiert. Ob sie nach Caesars Brand (48 v. Chr.) oder späteren Ereignissen (z. B. unter Aurelian ca. 270 n. Chr.) noch als zentrale Bibliothek existierte, ist unsicher.
• Das Serapeum mit seiner Tochterbibliothek existierte nachweislich bis 391 n. Chr. (Zerstörung unter Theodosius’ Dekreten). In ptolemäischer und früher römischer Zeit war es ein bedeutendes Studienzentrum.
• Forschung zu Ptolemäus und Valens:
• Ptolemäus (wirksam in Alexandria) dürfte durch seine astronomischen Tabellen und systematische Darstellung (Almagest, Tetrabiblos) von einem reichen wissenschaftlichen Milieu profitiert haben. Manche Forscher vermuten, dass er noch Zugang zu Beständen des Serapeums hatte, aber es gibt keinen direkten Beleg.
• Vettius Valens, ebenfalls in Alexandria tätig, zitiert in seinen Anthologiae explizit viele frühere Autoren (z. B. Nechepso, Petosiris, Dorotheus, Kritodemus). Ob er diese Texte aus Handschriften der Bibliotheken kannte oder aus der gelehrten Überlieferung seiner Zeit, bleibt offen. Seine Textkenntnis legt nahe, dass er außergewöhnlich gute Quellen zur Verfügung hatte – was Alexandria als Studienort stützt.
• Quellenlage: Antike Texte berichten nicht ausdrücklich, dass einer von beiden „in der Bibliothek gelesen“ habe. Vielmehr rekonstruiert die moderne Forschung indirekt, dass Alexandria mit seinen Bibliotheken und Archiven ein naheliegender Zugang zu solchen Werken bot.
• Moderne Literatur (Auswahl):
• Lionel Casson: Libraries in the Ancient World (2001) – allgemeiner Überblick zu Bibliotheken, inkl. Alexandria.
• Roger Bagnall: Alexandria: Library of Dreams (2022) – aktuelle Neubewertung.
• Alexander Jones: Ptolemy in Perspective (2010) – zur wissenschaftlichen Methode und Quellenlage Ptolemäus’.
• Wolfgang Hübner: Beiträge zu Vettius Valens, u. a. in Antike Astrologie (2005).
• Brill 2008: Leuven Studies in Classical and Near Eastern Thought und andere Sammelbände behandeln speziell die Überlieferungswege antiker astrologischer Texte.
• Fazit:
• Wir wissen nicht mit Sicherheit, ob Ptolemäus oder Valens direkten Zugang zu den Bibliotheken hatten. Aber ihre Werke zeigen, dass sie in Alexandria außergewöhnlich reiche Quellen nutzten – höchstwahrscheinlich über dieselben Netzwerke und Institutionen, die mit der Bibliothekstradition verbunden waren.

Astrologie lernen mit den Büchern von Dr. Christoph Schubert – Weller

https://astrology.vonabisw.de/astrologie-lernen-mit-dr-christoph-schubert-weller?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Arbeitsweise & Schwerpunkte

• Integrative Astrologie: Schubert-Weller verbindet klassische/ traditionelle Methoden mit psychologischen und philosophischen Aspekten. Er betrachtet nicht nur die Planetenkonstellationen, sondern auch deren Bedeutung in einem gesellschaftlichen, geistigen Kontext.
• Geburtszeitkorrektur: Er hat gearbeitet an Methoden der Korrektur der Geburtszeit, was wichtig ist, wenn die Uhrzeit unsicher ist.
• Prognose: Er legt Wert auf Prognosen, aber integriert sie in größere Zyklen, kulturelle Veränderungen, das Weltgeschehen. Beispiel: seine Arbeiten zu Jupiter/Saturn-Zyklen, Zeitalterwechsel etc.
• Philosophie & Spiritualität: Er reflektiert Astrologie auch hinsichtlich ihrer Bedeutung für Menschen, Gesellschaft und Glaubensfragen. Z. B. „Spricht Gott durch die Sterne?“.

Bedeutung in der Astrologie

• Seine Arbeit ist bedeutsam, weil er Brücken baut: zwischen der klassischen astrologischen Praxis (Zeichendeutung, Häuser, Planeten) und moderneren Interpretationen (Kultur, Psychologie, Spiritualität).
• Er hat Einfluss in astrologischen Kreisen, insbesondere in Deutschland, durch Bücher, Vorträge, durch seine Funktion im DAV und durch seine Publikationen.
• Seine Betrachtung der Kosmischen Rhythmen, Zeitalter und Zeitqualität macht seine Prognosen und kulturell/historischen Einordnungen interessant nicht nur für Einzelhoroskope, sondern für breitere Zusammenhänge.

Early Life & Education

• Birth: Philip M. Graves was born on March 26, 1974, in Oswestry, Shropshire, England. His birth time is noted as 1:05 PM (BST, GMT+1).
• Academic Background:
  • B.A. (Hons.) in French from the University of Hull in 1997
  • Advanced studies in Swedish, basic knowledge of German, Spanish, and Latin
  • CELTA qualification (Teaching English to Adults), ITTC Bournemouth, 2003

Literary & Family Background

• He is the great-nephew of the poet and novelist Robert Graves and the son of Richard Perceval Graves, a well-known biographer.
• This literary heritage deeply influenced his academic and intellectual interests.

Introduction to Astrology

• Began studying astrology intensively in 1995 while spending a year abroad.
• Wrote early essays on harmonic aspects and astrology’s technical history, some under pseudonyms, for journals like The Astrological Journal.

Online Community Leadership

• In 2001, Graves joined a major MSN astrology community.
• Quickly became Assistant Manager and later Co-Manager, helping build one of the largest astrology groups online with over 6,000 members.

Creation of Astrolearn & the Library

Living in Sweden

In 2004, Philip M. Graves moved to Sweden / Brevens Bruk – west – 186 km – of Stockholm – with his then-partner, who had her roots and home there and was unwilling to leave – While in Sweden, he systematically expanded his astrological collection. With an inheritance from his grandmother, he acquired hundreds of new books and journals, including original editions from previous centuries and academic works in multiple languages – Over time, his collection became an extensive personal bibliophilic research resource. – In 2016, financial pressures prompted his return to the UK, and by 2018 he had re-established his collection in Newport, South Wales  and set up the Astrolearn Astrology Library in Newport, South Wales, opening it to visitors by appointment. – The library now holds books and  journal issues, from the 16th century onward, in languages ranging from Latin to French, German, Spanish, and even Arabic and Sanskrit.

Cooperation with the Astrological Association

Since 2020, the library has housed the foreign-language collection of the Astrological Association of Great Britain. – In 2022, it incorporated the association’s English-language holdings, making it one of the most comprehensive astrology archives in the English-speaking world.

Publications & Research Contributions

• Graves has written essays for journals like The Astrological Journal, The Mountain Astrologer, and Infinity Astrological Magazine.
• He wrote the Foreword for William Lilly’s autobiography edition (Rubedo Press, 2015).
• Major Work:
  • Technical & Planetary Developments in Astrology (Revelore Press, 2025) – the first of four planned volumes under Studies in the History of Astrology.
  • Topics include:
    • The evolution of house division systems from antiquity to Kepler
    • Aspect doctrine and harmonic aspects up to John Addey
    • Sun-sign astrology history and the meaning assigned to Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Lilith

Nicholas Campion (University of Wales Trinity Saint David) praised the book as a foundational work for technical and planetary history in astrology.

The up-to-date figures in August 2025 are 11,000 edition-volumes of books (of which at a rough estimate probably 10,000 properly astrological, the other 1,000 on assorted subjects of tangential academic and historical relevance such as esotericism, magic, tarot, palmistry, the I-Ching, divination, and the works of Jung; and 14,000 issues of periodicals (including magazines, journals and almanacs). – It was not only the foreign-language collection of the AA but also their entire periodicals collection (including English-language) that moved here in 2020. Collectively, these materials are referred to by the AA as the ‚AA Archive‘. What followed in 2022 was therefore the non-periodical English-language books (the ‚AA Library‘).

Professional Services

Through Astrolearn, Graves offers:

• Historical research services on astrology texts (£50/hour)
• Digitization of public domain texts (£50/hour)
• Visitor guidance & lectures on astrology history (£20–50/hour)

He explicitly avoids offering personal horoscope readings or Sun-sign columns—his focus remains academic and historical.

Funding & Future Plans

• The library is privately funded via:
  • A second-hand astrology bookshop
  • Digital scans of public domain works
  • Research & consultation services
• His long-term vision is to transfer the collection to an institution or foundation to ensure permanent preservation and public access.

Topos Sabians of Harran –

The Sabians of Harran played a significant role as a transmission culture for ancient astrology, serving as an important bridge between Mesopotamian, Hellenistic, and later Islamic intellectual traditions. – 1. Historical Background – The Sabians of Harran were a religious and intellectual community in the city of Harran (modern-day southeastern Turkey), flourishing in late antiquity and the early Islamic period (roughly 7th–10th centuries CE). – They were renowned for their astronomical and astrological knowledge, inherited from Babylonian and Hellenistic sources. – Despite being religiously distinct, they were recognized in Islamic law as a “People of the Book,” which allowed them some protection and autonomy under Muslim rule. – 2. Role in Preserving Ancient Knowledge – The Sabians preserved and transmitted Mesopotamian and Hellenistic astrological texts at a time when many classical works were lost or inaccessible elsewhere. – They maintained and practiced – Zodiacal astrology (signs, planets, and aspects) – Planetary theory and ephemerides – Predictive techniques from Babylonian horoscopy – Their scholarship included translations and commentaries, ensuring continuity of astrological techniques into the Islamic Golden Age. – 3. Interaction with Islamic Scholars – Many early Islamic astronomers and astrologers studied under Sabian teachers or accessed their manuscripts. – Notable examples include- Al-Battani (c. 858–929 CE), whose astronomical works reflect earlier Sabian influence. – Thābit ibn Qurra (c. 826–901 CE), a Sabian mathematician and astronomer, who translated Greek texts into Arabic and contributed to astrology and mathematical astronomy. – Through these scholars, Sabian knowledge was integrated into the Arabic intellectual corpus, which later became the foundation for medieval European astrology after translations into Latin in the 12th century. – 4. Transmission to Europe – The Sabians’ translations and commentaries on Hellenistic astrology, astronomy, and mathematics were later transmitted to Spain, Sicily, and the wider Latin West via Arabic-to-Latin translations. – This means that much of the classical astrological heritage that survived into medieval Europe owes its continuity indirectly to the Sabians of Harran. – Summary – The Sabians of Harran acted as a crucial intermediary, preserving, practicing, and transmitting ancient astrological knowledge from Babylonian and Hellenistic sources into the Islamic world, and eventually, through translations, to medieval Europe. They were not merely passive custodians; their community actively studied, commented upon, and enhanced these traditions.

Dr. David Juste is a distinguished historian of medieval and Renaissance astrology, with a strong academic focus on Latin astrological manuscripts. He is co-founder and research leader of the Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus project at the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften in Munich and is recognized internationally for his scholarly contributions. – He works on cataloging and analyzing medieval astrological manuscripts—He has published three volumes of the Catalogus Codicum Astrologorum Latinorum (CCAL), which document Latin astrological manuscripts, including those preserved in the Bavarian State Library (Munich) and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Paris).

Sourcetexts of the Tetrabiblos

Original composition – Language: Greek – Date: ca. 150 CE, Alexandria. – Title: Ἀποτελεσματικά (Apotelesmatika, “Effects” or “Influences”), later known in Latin as Quadripartitum (“Four Books”). – This Greek autograph does not survive. All we have are medieval manuscript copies. – Historical transmission languages – After its Greek origin, the Tetrabiblos circulated in multiple languages – A. Greek tradition – The direct line of transmission from antiquity. – Earliest surviving manuscripts: 13th century (but based on earlier exemplars). – Key centres: Byzantium (especially Constantinople). – Basis for all modern critical editions (Boll–Boer 1940; Robbins 1940; Feraboli 1985; Hübner 1998). – B. Arabic tradition – Translated from Greek into Arabic in the early Abbasid period (9th century). – Key translators: Hunayn ibn Ishaq (often credited, though debated) and/or his circle. – Arabic versions influenced Islamic astrology, e.g., Abu Maʿshar (9th c.). – These Arabic texts became an important intermediary for the Latin West. – C. Syriac (possible intermediary) – There are indications of a lost Syriac translation (8th–9th century), often a stepping-stone between Greek and Arabic, but no Syriac manuscript survives today. – D. Latin tradition – First Latin versions came via Arabic–Latin translations in Spain and Sicily, 12th century. – Example: Plato of Tivoli (Barcelona, ca. 1138) translated the Arabic version. – Later, direct Greek–Latin translations were produced – William of Moerbeke (13th c.) translated directly from Greek. – This version survives in many manuscripts and has a modern critical edition (Vuillemin-Diem & Steel 2015). – E. Hebrew tradition – A Hebrew translation was made in the medieval period (probably from Arabic, 13th century). – Survives in some manuscripts; less studied but part of the transmission chain. – 3. Summary of historical source languages – So historically, the Tetrabiblos exists in these forms – Greek (original, basis of all critical editions; extant from Byzantine manuscripts). – Arabic (9th century onward; influential in Islamic astrology; multiple manuscript traditions). – Latin via Arabic → Latin (12th century, e.g., Plato of Tivoli). – via Greek → Latin (13th century, Moerbeke). – Hebrew (from Arabic; medieval). – (Syriac, probably existed but lost). – In short – The Tetrabiblos was originally written in Greek, then spread through Arabic, Latin, and Hebrew translations (with Syriac as a probable but lost link). Today, the surviving manuscripts are Greek, Arabic, Latin, and Hebrew; the Greek tradition is the “original” base for critical editions, while the Arabic and Latin versions are crucial for understanding its medieval reception. –

The oldest surviving Latin document of Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos is a manuscript translation from Arabic, produced in the 12th century, most likely in Spain or Sicily, where Arabic science entered Western Europe. – Manuscript – Language: Latin (from Arabic) – Approximate Date: ca. 1130–1140 CE – Translator: Often attributed to Plato of Tivoli (or a contemporary translator working in Spain), although precise attribution is sometimes debated. – Content: Books I–IV of the Tetrabiblos, translated from Arabic versions that themselves derived from Greek originals. – Manuscript Example / Shelfmark: Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. lat. 3971 – one of the oldest extant complete Latin versions. – Another example: Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 7342 (partial). – Notes – This is a medieval Latin translation (Arabic → Latin), not a direct Greek → Latin version. – It predates William of Moerbeke’s 13th-century translation, which was directly from Greek and widely copied. – These 12th-century manuscripts are usually codices written on parchment, often in Gothic or early Caroline minuscule scripts. – Many of these manuscripts are held in major European libraries, such as: Vatican Library (Rome) – Bibliothèque nationale de France (Paris) – British Library (London) – Summary – Important for the study of medieval reception of Ptolemy in Western Europe. – Oldest Latin Tetrabiblos: 12th century, via Arabic translation, Spain/Sicily. – Earliest surviving codices: Vat. lat. 3971 (Vatican), among others.

The Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus Project (PAL)

is a large-scale international research project dedicated to the study, critical edition, and analysis of texts attributed to Claudius Ptolemy (the 2nd-century Alexandrian scholar) and the transmission of his works in the Arabic and Latin worlds from late antiquity through the Renaissance. – Overall Aim – The project investigates how Ptolemy’s writings—above all the Almagest (astronomy), the Tetrabiblos (astrology), the Geography, and various smaller works—were transmitted, translated, commented upon, and transformed in the medieval period. – It looks at the Arabic tradition (translations, adaptations, commentaries produced in the Islamic world from the 8th century onwards) and the Latin tradition (translations from Arabic and Greek into Latin, as well as Latin commentaries, especially between the 12th and 16th centuries). – Thus, PAL reconstructs the “biography” of Ptolemaic texts across languages, cultures, and centuries. – Main Components – Corpus and Cataloguing – Identification of all extant Arabic and Latin manuscripts of Ptolemaic works. – Detailed catalogues of translations, paraphrases, epitomes, commentaries, and scholia. – Reconstruction of textual traditions and transmission lines. – Critical Editions and Translations – Production of critical editions of Arabic and Latin texts that had never been edited before. – Parallel translations into English or other modern languages. – Attention to variant readings and philological precision. – Digital Humanities – An online database (the PAL database) that allows researchers to access information about manuscripts, works, translations, authors, and textual relationships. – Integration of metadata, textual witnesses, and cross-references. – Aim: to serve as the central research hub for anyone studying Ptolemy’s reception in Arabic and Latin traditions. – Philological and Historical Research – Study of how Ptolemaic science (astronomy, astrology, geography, harmonics) was interpreted in different intellectual and religious contexts. – Analysis of how terminology was translated, adapted, or misunderstood. – Investigation of Ptolemy’s impact on medieval Islamic science, scholastic philosophy, and Renaissance humanism. – Scholarly Output – Critical editions, monographs, and articles. – Tools for the history of science, especially in astronomy and astrology. – A bridge between classical philology, Arabist studies, and medieval/renaissance Latin scholarship. – Detailed Research Questions –

How were Ptolemaic texts translated from Greek into Arabic (e.g., by Hunayn ibn Ishaq, Ishaq ibn Hunayn, Thabit ibn Qurra) and what translation strategies were used? –

Which texts reached medieval Europe via Arabic-to-Latin transmission (especially through Spain and Sicily)? –

What role did figures like Gerard of Cremona, Plato of Tivoli, and William of Moerbeke play in the Latin transmission?

How did Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos shape Islamic astrology and later scholastic debates on determinism, fate, and free will?

How did scholastic and Renaissance thinkers integrate Ptolemaic astronomy and astrology into Christian frameworks?

To what extent did Arabic commentaries and adaptations transform Ptolemy’s original meaning?

How did the Arabic and Latin worlds influence each other in shaping the Ptolemaic tradition? –

Institutional Framework – Hosted at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (Munich). – Directed by scholars in classics, Arab studies, history of science, and medieval studies. – Long-term project . – In short:
The Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus Project is the central research effort to map, edit, and interpret the Arabic and Latin transmission of Ptolemy’s works, providing both a digital platform and critical scholarship to understand how Greek science shaped medieval Islamic and European intellectual history.

Les Alchandreana primitifs.

Étude sur les plus anciens traités astrologiques latins d’origine arabe (Xe siècle)
Leiden–Boston: Brill, 2007, xvi + 727 pp. – A detailed study of the earliest Latin astrological treatises of Arabic origin, dating from the 10th century. – https://journals.openedition.org/ccm/12391 – The revival of Latin science through the Greco-Latin and Arabo-Latin translations at the end of the 11th century and in the 12th century is a major historical phenomenon that has given rise to numerous studies. The period preceding this great transfer remains more obscure and difficult to grasp, despite the renewed interest it has aroused among specialists, as evidenced, among others, by the recent volume edited by B. Obrist (Abbon de Fleury: Philosophie, science et comput autour de l’an Mil [= Oriens-Occidens, 6, 2004], corrected reprint 2006). The very first infiltrations of Arabic science into the Latin West, before the 11th century, have long been identified in mathematics (Arabic numerals) and astronomy (the astrolabe). D. Juste focuses on another, very little known, aspect of this pioneering transmission: astrology, as it appears particularly in the manuscript Paris, BnF, lat. 17868, which preserves anonymous treatises or treatises attributed to a certain Alchandreus. From this figure he takes the name he gives to the corpus, the Alchandreana. This corpus had already been mentioned and studied by scholars such as N. Bubnov, E. Wickersheimer, F. Cumont, L. Thorndike, J. M. Vallicrosa, and A. Van de Vyver. D. Juste offers for the first time a systematic study and a critical edition of the “primitive corpus,” that is, the texts of this corpus dating from before the 11th century, since this tradition extends down to the 17th century and even beyond.

In a dense introduction (pp. 1–26), he presents this corpus and retraces, in just a few precise pages, the history of astrology in the early Middle Ages. This discipline then suffered from the general weakness of scientific sources during this period, a weakness aggravated by patristic condemnations that weighed heavily upon it. Access to astrology was possible only indirectly and in very allusive ways through encyclopedic and astronomical works, or, somewhat more explicitly, in the few horoscopic texts, and more abundantly in prognostica (lunaria, zodiologia, spheres of life and death, critical days, planetary days, and comets). Toward the end of the 10th century, a revival of interest in astrology became evident through the rediscovery of ancient sources (Manilius, Firmicus Maternus) within the framework of a renewal of the quadrivium, associated with the names of Gerbert of Aurillac and Abbo of Fleury. The emergence of the Alchandreana took place in such a context.

D. Juste devotes the first part (pp. 27–294) to a precise and erudite presentation of the content of this corpus. He studies no fewer than seventy-two manuscripts dating from the 10th to the 17th century. For the primitive corpus four manuscripts are given priority: in addition to the Paris manuscript already mentioned, three 11th-century codices (Munich, BSB, Clm 560; London, BL, Addit. 17808; and Leiden, Rijksuniv., Voss. lat. O.15). He thus analyzes the Liber Alchandrei, in which Arabic names (for the lunar mansions) are placed alongside Jewish elements (for the numerical values of the letters of a person’s name), while showing knowledge of Latin astronomy (Martianus Capella and the Excerpta Plinii). Two further works of the corpus are attached to this text: the Epistola Argafalau ad Alexandrum and the Breviarum Alhandrei summi astrologi, which introduces into the West a magic based on the combinations of alphabetic letters. These three texts are linked to the name Alchandreus, which was sometimes regarded as a corruption of “Alexander” or of al-Kindī, the famous Arab philosopher. D. Juste presents arguments in favor of the latter identification, not in the sense that he believes al-Kindī was the actual author of these texts, but rather that it seems plausible they were attributed to him.

The corpus also includes the Quicumque nosse desiderat legem astrorum and the Proportiones competentes in astrorum industria. Then follows the In principio fecit Deus caelum et terram, a text unearthed by B. Bischoff in 1984 from the manual of Adhémar of Chabannes preserved in the Leiden manuscript; it seems to be a translation or adaptation of an Arabic text into Latin — in poor Latin influenced by a Romance dialect. Finally, the Benedictum nomen Domini, probably also translated or adapted from Arabic and linguistically close to the preceding text, closes this primitive corpus, to which some other fragments may be added.

The second chapter is devoted to a very rich and precise analysis of all the astrological techniques at work in the Alchandreana. Some elements appear characteristic of Arabic astrology, such as the lunar mansions and the importance given to the lunar nodes. But without recourse to astronomical observation and in the absence of astronomical tables, the Alchandreana recommend numerological methods for calculating planetary longitudes (a method based on the “years of the world”) and for determining nativities, which are carried out without horoscopes and instead rest on onomatomancy, that is, the “numerical values of a person’s name,” hence the importance of numerical alphabets.

The third chapter traces the history of the Alchandreana. Their content, which contrasts with the early medieval Latin knowledge of the science of the stars, makes it possible to identify traits characteristic of the “Arabic synthesis of astrology” (8th–9th centuries). Several indications point toward sources elaborated in al-Andalus. Yet the Arabic sources remain unknown — D. Juste suggests parallels with a few. The presence of Hebrew elements — particularly evident in the Liber Alchandrei and the Quicumque — is explained, except in a few cases, not by the existence of Jewish sources but rather by the Hebraization of techniques by a Jewish scholar. As for the Latin translation, it was probably carried out by Mozarabs or Spanish Jews.

The texts of the corpus are interrelated in multiple ways that D. Juste carefully untangles. The monastery of Ripoll in Catalonia (well known as a place of the first infiltrations of Arabic science) must have played an important role in the history of the Alchandreana: the author of the Proportiones seems to have used the glossaries of Ripoll, and D. Juste hypothesizes that he may have been the Catalan Miró Bonfill, correspondent of Gerbert, because of the shared inclination to search for rare words in the same glossaries, the precious style, and the interest in mathematics. Since Miró died in 984, this would allow most of the Alchandreana to be dated before that year. They would thus be earlier than the corpus on the astrolabe, and even earlier than the introduction of the instrument into Catalonia.

From this follows the interesting hypothesis that the liber de astrologia requested by Gerbert of Aurillac from Lupitus was not a treatise on the astrolabe — as most historians have until now assumed — but the Liber Alchandrei, which could therefore be attributed to this Lupitus. Such a hypothesis would cast new light both on the “fascination” felt by men of power for Gerbert and on the later reputation that made him into an astrologer or mage. To these signs, D. Juste adds indications of an interest in astrology in Gerbert’s own works.

He concludes his inquiry with a careful study of the diffusion of the Alchandreana from the late 10th to the early 12th century. From Catalonia, the corpus is thought to have reached Saint-Martial of Limoges — importantly, before Fleury-sur-Loire. It is subsequently attested at Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Angers. There are also other routes of diffusion into Lotharingia, Germany, and England. Far from disappearing with the arrival of Arabo-Latin translations of high-level astrological texts, the Alchandreana were, from the 12th–13th centuries onward, incorporated into manuscripts that preserved precisely these texts, which is an indication of the great esteem in which they continued to be held.

This study introduces the imposing and remarkable critical edition of the corpus (pp. 294–652), accompanied by indexes (Arabic and Hebrew names, numerical alphabets, subject tables). It is, without a doubt, a major contribution to the history of astrology in the West, to the history of the very earliest infiltrations of Arabic science, and, more broadly, to the intellectual and cultural history of the 10th and 11th centuries — valuable both for the study of knowledge itself and for the study of scholarly and vernacular languages. A book that demonstrates, if proof were needed, how erudition in seemingly unexpected domains can advance historical knowledge by a great leap.

Franz Boll

Franz Boll (1867–1924) was a German classical philologist and historian of ancient astronomy and astrology. He is remembered as one of the pioneers who combined philological precision with a deep interest in the cosmological and astrological traditions of antiquity, particularly their transmission from Greek into late antique and medieval contexts.

Here is an overview of his most important works relating to astrology and ancient cosmology:

---

Major Works

1. Sphaera: Neue griechische Texte und Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der Sternbilder

• Leipzig: Teubner, 1903.
• A seminal study of ancient constellations and their mythological/astrological backgrounds.
• Presents critical editions of Greek texts on star-lore and investigates the transmission of constellation traditions from Mesopotamia through Greece and Rome.

2. Studien über Claudius Ptolemäus

• Leipzig: Teubner, 1894.
• A detailed philological and historical investigation of Ptolemy, especially the Tetrabiblos and Almagest.
• Boll analyzed Ptolemy’s position within the broader Hellenistic astrological tradition.

3. Sternglaube und Sterndeutung: Die Geschichte und das Wesen der Astrologie

• Leipzig: Teubner, 1918 (several later reprints).
• Perhaps Boll’s most famous work for a general readership.
• Surveys the development of astrology from Mesopotamia and Egypt through Greece, Rome, and late antiquity.
• Shows the philosophical, religious, and cultural contexts of astrology.
• Still cited as a classic introduction to the intellectual history of astrology.

4. Aus der Offenbarung Johannis. Hellenistische Studien zum Weltbild der Apokalypse

• Leipzig: Teubner, 1914.
• Examines the Book of Revelation in light of Hellenistic cosmology and astrological symbolism.
• Boll argues that many of its images and visions are rooted in astral religion and star-lore.

Related Essays and Smaller Studies

• Boll wrote numerous shorter papers on astrological fragments, Greek horoscopes, and the cultural transmission of astrology.
• For example, his studies on Vettius Valens and on the astrological background of late antique religious thought helped establish academic approaches to astrology as part of classical studies.

Legacy

• Boll was a mentor to Wilhelm Gundel and Carl Bezold, who continued his line of research.
• His works—especially Sternglaube und Sterndeutung—shaped the 20th-century academic understanding of astrology not as “superstition,” but as an integral component of ancient science and religion.
• In modern scholarship, he is regarded as a foundational figure in the history of astrology, astronomy, and astral religion.

What social and academic backgrounds did astrologers have? According to which techniques and methods did they work, and how did they understand their own role? On the other hand, what expectations can be discerned among their clients, and how did these clients deal with astrological advice? Recipients of astrological works can be identified across very different segments of the population. From the relationships between astrologers, astrological practice, and their recipients, implicit insights into the societal significance of astrology can therefore be drawn.

Dr. Just contributed to numerous scholarly articles, exploring topics like onomancy = Onomancy is a form of divination that interprets a person’s name—usually their full given name—to reveal information about their personality, destiny, or future. – The word comes from the Greek ónoma (ὄνομα, “name”) + -mancy (μαντεία, “divination”). – Different traditions use different methods – Numerical onomancy (often linked with numerology) – Each letter is assigned a number, the values are summed, and the resulting number is interpreted. – Alphabetic symbolism: The sound, initial letter, or etymology of the name is seen as significant. – Gematria / isopsephy (in Hebrew or Greek contexts): Names are converted to numbers based on the alphabet’s numeric values, and matches to other words or names are interpreted as meaningful. – Cultural omens: In some folk traditions, the number of letters, repetition of vowels/consonants, or even anagrams of a name can be “read” for signs. – Historically, onomancy was practiced in ancient Greece, Rome, China, and parts of the Middle East. It often overlapped with astrology, where a birth chart might be compared to the symbolic properties of the name. –

Latin – the language of scholarship

in Europe due to a combination of historical, cultural, and practical reasons. – Historical Context – After the fall of the Western Roman Empire (5th century CE), the political landscape of Europe became fragmented into multiple kingdoms. Latin, however, remained as the administrative and cultural language of the Church, monasteries, and early universities. – The Role of the Church:
The Catholic Church preserved Latin as its liturgical and administrative language. Monks and clerics copied manuscripts in Latin, keeping knowledge of classical texts alive. Since the Church was a central institution across Europe, Latin became a common medium for educated people across different regions. – Universities and Education – From the 12th century onward, the rise of universities in Europe (e.g., Bologna, Paris, Oxford) formalized education. Latin was chosen as the language of instruction because students came from various regions speaking different vernacular languages. Using Latin allowed communication and the exchange of knowledge across national boundaries. – Classical Prestige:
Latin had the authority of antiquity. Scholars admired Roman writers like Cicero, Virgil, and Augustine. Writing in Latin lent credibility, continuity, and prestige to intellectual work. – Practicality for Scholarship – Latin’s grammar and vocabulary were relatively stable compared to vernacular languages, which varied widely and were evolving. This stability made it a precise language for philosophy, theology, law, and science. – Where and When – Where: Throughout Europe, especially in Italy, France, England, Germany, and the Low Countries. – When: Latin dominated scholarly communication roughly from the early Middle Ages (6th–7th century) and reached its peak in universities between the 12th and 17th centuries. It gradually declined as vernacular languages became acceptable for scholarly work by the 17th–18th centuries. – Summary: Latin became the international language of scholarship because of its association with the Church, the preservation of classical knowledge, the practical need for a common language among educated Europeans, and the prestige of Roman culture.

From Māshā ‘ Allāh to Kepler

Theory and Practice in Medieval and Renaissance Astrology – edited by Charles Burnett and Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum

Astrology has recently become a subject of interest to scholars of the highest calibre. However, the tendency has been to look at the social context of astrology, the attacks on astrologers and their craft, and on astrological iconography and symbolism; i.e., largely looking on astrology from the outside. The intention of this book is to do is to look at the subject from the inside: the ideas and techniques of astrologers themselves. In both Western and Eastern cultures astrology was regarded as a pure science by most scholars, mathematicians, physicians, philosophers and theologians, and was taught in schools and universities. The greatest astronomers of the period under consideration, al-Kindi, Thabit ibn Qurra, Abraham Ibn Ezra, Galileo and Kepler, also wrote about and practised astrology. What did astrologers write about astrology and how did they teach their subject and practise their craft? What changes occurred in astrological theory and practice over time and from one culture to another? What cosmological and philosophical frameworks did astrologers use to describe their practice? What role did diagrams, tables and illustrations play in astrological text-books? What was astrology’s place in universities and academies? This book contains surveys of astrologers and their craft in Islamic, Jewish and Christian culture, and includes hitherto unpublished and unstudied astrological texts.

Italy, France, Portugal and Spain

At Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, a Master’s-level course titled „Renaissance Natural Philosophy, Alchemy, Astrology and Magic“ integrates astrology within the broader context of Renaissance medicine and philosophy, with attention to how astrology historically intersected with intellectual and medicinal practices. – https://www.unive.it/data/course/357948/programma?utm_source=chatgpt.com

in recent times, professors such as Robert Jaulin (in ethnology), within French universities, have offered astrology-related content or student credits, and even organized astrology congresses Reddit. This isn’t from a scholarly source, but it does hint at fringe or interdisciplinary engagement with astrology in the social sciences.

Today in Spain, astrology is not part of formal degree programs, but it continues to appear in research and outreach through the history of science and culture. – Historical research: Institutions like the University of Salamanca preserve rich traditions in astronomical-astrological scholarship, including famous artifacts like „El Cielo de Salamanca“—a Renaissance-era celestial ceiling used for teaching astronomy and astrology.arXiv – Interdisciplinary institutes: While not focused on astrology per se, centers such as the Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA) support astronomy education and research and collaborate with universities in offering graduate-level training—including outreach and astronomy summer internships.Wikipedia – However, in modern Spanish academia, astrology itself typically remains under the umbrella of historical or philosophical studies, rather than being taught as a practical or standalone discipline.

In Portugal, like in Spain, astrology is largely studied from historical and cultural standpoints rather than as a formal academic subject. – Seminars on ancient astronomy and astrology: The Helena Avelar Seminar series, hosted by the University of Lisbon’s Centro Interuniversitário de História das Ciências e da Tecnologia (CIUHCT), regularly explores topics that blend astronomy and astrology—from ancient calculational methods to religious library collections of astrological texts. For instance – Talks include “Astrology and the Astrolabe”, “Heavenly Knowledge: Astrology Books in Religious Libraries”, and studies on methodological or calculational aspects of astrology.ciuhct.orgciencias.ulisboa.pt – Jesuit historical studies: Scholarly work examines the role of astrology within the Jesuit educational system—for example, professors at Lisbon’s College of Santo Antão once taught astrology courses as part of a broader mathematical curriculum.SpringerLinkBrill+1 – Modern educational options: Outside of mainstream universities, institutions like the private Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias offer courses in broader “Western Esoterism,” which include historical examinations of astrology alongside alchemy, magic, and related traditions. Such courses are part of a Master’s in Sciences of Religions, exploring astrology in cultural and philosophical contexts—not as a predictive craft.

Continuities and disruptions between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

proceedings of the colloquium held at the Warburg Institute, 15-16 June 2007, jointly organised by the Warburg Institute and the Gabinete de Filosofia Medieval – This volume explores the question of continuities and disruptions between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Rather than addressing the question in a general way, it brings together a number of case studies, dealing with the changing interest in, and knowledge of Stoicism, the variations in the manuscripts of medical texts, the changing emphases within the penitential genres of ‚Mirrors‘, developments in the philosophy of love and in attitudes towards pagans, and the transformation of the art of disputation between the Middle Ages and Renaissance. One article considers the interpretation by a Renaissance scholar (Girolamo Cardano) of the ideas of a medieval scholar (Pietro d’Abano) concerning nature and demons, while another looks at the 16th-century School of Salamanca as a synthesis of the two periods. These papers were originally presented at the second colloquium of the Federation Internationale des Instituts d’Etudes Medievales with the same title, organised jointly by two institutes that embody between them Renaissance and Medieval Studies: the Warburg Institute of London, and the Gabinete de Filosofia Medieval of Porto. The volume includes papers by J. Marenbon (Cambridge), G. Giglioni (London), J. Kraye (London), O. Merisalo (Jyvaskyla), S. Orrego-Sanchez (Santiago de Chile), A. Passot-Mannooretonil (Paris), J. J. Vila-Cha (Braga) and O. Weijers (Den Haag). –

Warburg

Senior Research Fellow at the Warburg Institute from 1979 to 1982. He served as a Leverhulme Research Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Sheffield (1982–1984 and 1985), interrupted by a year as a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (1984–1985). In April 1985, he was appointed Lecturer in the History of Islamic Influences in Europe at the Warburg Institute, University of London, and was promoted to Professor in 1999. Since 1998, he has been a Fellow of the British Academy.

The “translation flowering” (or translation movement) in medieval Europe was a pivotal period—roughly between the 12th and 13th centuries—when classical, Arabic, and Jewish texts in science, philosophy, medicine, and astrology were systematically translated into Latin. Its cultural importance cannot be overstated, as it profoundly shaped European intellectual life. – Many ancient Greek texts (Aristotle, Galen, Ptolemy, Euclid) had been largely inaccessible in Western Europe. – Translations, often from Arabic intermediaries, reintroduced philosophical, scientific, and medical works. – This revived Europe’s connection to its classical heritage, which had been fragmented during the early medieval period. – Scholars in Muslim Spain, Sicily, and the Middle East preserved and enhanced Greek works. – Arabic texts in medicine (Avicenna), mathematics (Al-Khwarizmi), optics (Alhazen), and astronomy were translated into Latin. – Jewish scholars often served as intermediaries, translating from Arabic to Hebrew or directly to Latin. – Europe thus received a rich, cross-cultural infusion of knowledge, blending Greek, Roman, and Islamic traditions. – Latin translations became core texts in the emerging European universities (e.g., Bologna, Paris, Oxford). – Scholastic philosophers (like Thomas Aquinas) relied heavily on these translated works to harmonize reason and faith. – This intellectual infrastructure laid the groundwork for systematic philosophical and scientific inquiry. – The translation movement fostered Latin as a universal scholarly language, unifying Europe’s intellectual elite. – It encouraged the development of specialized vocabulary in philosophy, science, and law. – This helped create a pan-European scholarly culture that transcended regional linguistic differences. – All this laid the intellectual foundation for the Renaissance and later the Scientific Revolution. – Helped Europe move from a primarily religious framework of knowledge toward systematic rational inquiry. – Enabled the integration of diverse cultural perspectives, promoting curiosity and openness to new ideas. – The translation flowering was not just a transfer of texts—it was a profound cultural transformation. By importing, interpreting, and integrating knowledge from classical and Islamic sources, medieval Europe built the intellectual scaffolding that made the Renaissance, universities, and modern science possible.

• , De Essentiis (critical edition, translation, commentary) The Warburg Institute

Hermann of Carinthia (Latin: Hermannus Dalmata, also known as Hermannus Sclavus or Hermannus Carnivoranus) was a significant 12th-century scholar—an astronomer, astrologer, philosopher, mathematician, and translator. He lived approximately from 1100 to around 1160. – 12th Century – Hermann of Carinthia (De essentiis) – Hermann’s treatise “De essentiis” = On the Essences. – He blends Neoplatonism (hierarchy of being from the One to matter) with Arabic philosophy (esp. al-Kindi). – For Hermann, essentia = the metaphysical structure of the world, beyond appearances, but accessible to reason. – The essences explain cosmos, creation, and order. – Late Scholasticism & Rationalism (14th–17th c.) – Duns Scotus and Ockham: questioned whether essences are real; nominalists argued they may be only names (nomina). – Descartes, Leibniz, Wolff: still affirmed essences, but in a more rationalist framework. – Leibniz: each monad has an inner essence, hidden from direct perception. – Debate grows: are essences objective realities or just conceptual tools? – Kant (18th c.) – “Thing in Itself” – Kant inherits the essence/appearance tradition but radically transforms it: We know the world only as phenomena (through space, time, categories). – The thing-in-itself (noumenon) exists, but it is unknowable in principle. – What was once a positive, knowable essentia becomes, in Kant, a limit-concept: it marks what is beyond possible human cognition. – Summary of the Development – Plato/Aristotle: essence lies behind appearances (Idea / Substance). – Scholastics: essentia = the knowable “whatness” of things, distinct from existence. – Hermann of Carinthia (De essentiis): builds a systematic ontology of essences. – Rationalists: still affirm essences, though contested by nominalists. – Kant: transforms essence into the thing-in-itself – real but inaccessible to knowledge. – Thing-in-itself (Kant) = the unknowable whatness of things. – Essentia (Middle Ages) = the knowable whatness of things.

• 1985 – Pseudo-Bede, De mundi celestis terrestrisque constitutione (edition, translation) The Warburg Institute

The term Pseudo-Bede refers to works or authors falsely attributed to the Venerable Bede (c. 673–735), the famous Anglo-Saxon monk, historian, and scholar. In other words, Pseudo-Bede designates texts written by unknown or different authors who either falsely claimed Bede’s name or whose works were later mistakenly attributed to him. – Context – The Venerable Bede is best known for his Ecclesiastical History of the English People and for being a major early medieval scholar. – Over time, several anonymous or pseudonymous texts appeared under his name or were thought to be his works, especially in the medieval manuscript tradition. – These works can cover various subjects—history, theology, astronomy, or astrology—but do not originate from Bede himself. – Why “Pseudo”? – The prefix „Pseudo-“ is a scholarly convention used to indicate a false or mistaken attribution. – For example, a text called Pseudo-Bede’s Commentary on the Calendar would be a commentary attributed to Bede but not actually written by him. – Importance – Studying Pseudo-Bede works is important for understanding medieval intellectual history and the transmission of knowledge. – It also helps clarify what genuine contributions Bede made versus what was later misattributed.

• 1987 – Adelard of Bath: An English Scientist and Arabist of the Early Twelfth Century The Warburg Institute

Adelard of Bath (c. 1080 – c. 1152) was a remarkable English scholar, philosopher, mathematician, and translator of the 12th century. He played a crucial role in transmitting Arabic scientific and philosophical knowledge to medieval Europe. – Key facts about Adelard of Bath – Origin: Probably from Bath, England. – Era: Early to mid-12th century, part of the European Renaissance of the 12th century. – Travels: He traveled extensively, including visits to the Mediterranean world and possibly the Islamic centers of learning in Spain and Sicily, where he studied Arabic texts. – Works and Contributions – He translated many important scientific and philosophical works from Arabic into Latin, introducing European scholars to advanced knowledge in mathematics, astronomy, and natural philosophy. – Among his most famous translations is the Almagest of Ptolemy (an important work on astronomy). – He wrote original treatises on natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy, blending classical Greek ideas with Islamic scientific knowledge. – Philosophy: Adelard was influenced by Aristotelian philosophy and the Arabic commentaries on Aristotle, contributing to the early scholastic movement. – Legacy: His work helped lay the foundation for the later flourishing of science in medieval Europe. – Adelard of Bath is thus a key figure in the 12th-century intellectual revival, bridging cultures and preserving classical and Arabic science for the European tradition.

Wie die alten Herrscher und die neuen Planeten zu ihrer astrologischen Bedeutung kamen – 144 Seiten – Paperback, 31 teils farbige Abbildungen

Sue Ward erklärt die Grundlagen der Astrologie anhand einer der ältesten uns zugänglichen Quellen, nämlich die Schöpfungsgeschichte. Schlüssig erläutert sie, wie sich daraus die Qualitäten, die Zurodnung der Elemente und schließlich auch die klassischen Herrscher ableiten lassen. Die Struktur der Astrologie reflektiert sowohl den philosophischen als auch den physikalischen Rahmen des Universums.Mit der Entdeckung der äußeren Planeten Uranus, Neptun und Pluto stellte sich die Frage, ob und wie diese in die Reihe der Herrscher eingefügt werden sollten. Sie studierte zeitgenössische Quellen, um zu erfahren, wie die heute gängigen Deutungen entstanden sind. Es zeigt sich, dass der Einfluss der esoterischen Astrologie die Deutungsinhalte massgeblich geprägt hat. Am Schluß stellt sie die Frage, inwieweit es gerechtfertigt war, das System der klassischen Herrscher zu verändern. – Sue Ward arbeitet seit über 25 Jahren als klassische Astrologin in der Tradition von William Lilly. Sie ist als astrologische Beraterin tätig und hält regelmäßig Vorträge. Seit 1993 ist sie Herausgeberin des Traditional Horary Course, eines Fernkurses für klassische Stundenastrologie. –

Zitat:“Gott, das Universum und das Eigentliche

Der Schlüssel zur Astrologie und deren praktischer Anwendung liegt in ihrem geistigen Unterbau und in ihrer Philosophie. Trotz der Unterschiede in der Herangehensweise haben alle Denkschulen eines gemeinsam, nämlich dass es Theorie und Praxis gibt, oder anders ausgedrückt: ein System und eine Methode. Einmal gründlich gelernt, entwickelt sich ein Verständnis, aber das erforderliche Verstehen vollzieht sich nicht im Gehirn, welches lediglich Informationen sammelt und diese in eine wiedererkennbare und gebräuchliche Form bringt. Jeder kann nachvollziehen, dass Merkur im Quadrat zu Mars eine hitzige Diskussion hervorrufen könnte. Ein tieferes Verständnis antwortet auf die Frage, warum Merkur im Quadrat auf einen heftigen Wortwechsel hinweist. Solch ein tiefes Verstehen braucht bei allen, abgesehen von den besonders Begabten, eine lange Zeit, bis es sich entwickelt. Aber mit einem solchen tieferen Verständnis können wir all unser Wissen sammeln und es in jeder Hinsicht ohne Gewalt, ohne besondere Kunstgriffe anpassen. Somit kann die Astrologie alles Erforderliche tun und wird niemals enttäuschen. Die Antwort beginnt im Intellekt, dem merkurialen Teil.

Was die Aufklärung und das New Age zustande gebracht haben, war die Abspaltung der Astrologie von den anderen hermetischen Wissenschaften wie der Magie oder der Alchemie. Eine Unterbrechung von 200 Jahren in der Entwicklungslinie der Astrologe führte zu einem geradezu katastrophalen Schaden: die mündliche Überlieferung ging verloren. Dadurch war die Astrologie so gut wie tot und wenn nicht Astrologen wie William Lilly Schriften in ihrer Muttersprache veröffentlicht hätten, wäre die Überlieferung ganz verloren gegangen. Es ist klar, dass die Astrologie ähnlich wie die Gesellschaft säkularisiert werden musste und dass dies mit dem Problem zusammenhängt, dem die Tradition sich stellen musste.

Soweit das menschliche Wissen zurückreicht, blieb die Astrologie von einer Generation zur nächsten und von einer Kultur zu nächsten wiedererkennbar. Ihre Abstammung kann in gerader Linie zurückverfolgt werden. Allerdings hörte diese Entwicklungslinie gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auf, und in heutiger Zeit weist die Astrologie nur noch wenig Ähnlichkeit mit ihrer Tradition auf. Mit der zunehmenden Säkularisation der Gesellschaft wurden Göttlichkeit und Schöpfung vergessen. Wir haben die alte Spiritualität und die entsprechenden Philosophien beiseite geschoben und durch andere Dinge abgelöst. Wir haben sie allerdings nicht mit einer vereinheitlichenden Philosophie ersetzt, es fehlt ein Rahmen, mit dem wir alle gemeinsam arbeiten könnten. Dieser Zerfall bedeutet, dass es kein System und keine Theorie mehr gibt. Nur die Methode, die Praxis, bleibt, und diese variiert von Astrologe zu Astrologe. (…)

Zum Verständnis dieser Prinzipien ist keine religiöse Perspektive und kein Glaube erforderlich, und es ist unwichtig, ob andere Worte dafür gebraucht werden, aber bei dem Versuch, die Astrologie zu verstehen, müssen wir begreifen, was diese ist und warum und wie sie funktioniert. Auf diese Weise erhöhen wir sowohl die Astrologie als auch uns selbst. „Du sprachst mit Engeln, nein, mit Gott selbst!“, um Lilly und seine Zeitgenossen zu zitieren. Die Auswahl anderer Begriffe, um diese Ideen zum Ausdruck zu bringen, verändert nichts, weil das Prinzip das gleiche bleibt und man dieses einfach nur mit einem Namen versehen muss. Wird die Göttlichkeit akzeptiert, und sei es nur als Prinzip, dann wird schnell klar, dass die Wissenschaft der Aufklärung keine angemessenen Fragen zur Astrologie stellt, vielleicht auch nicht stellen kann.

Betrachten Astrologen diese Planetensymbole, dann kommt ihnen sofort deren Bedeutung in den Sinn. Wären diese einfach nur eine Kurzschrift, dann wäre der nahe gelegene Reflex nicht imaginativ, sondern lediglich intellektuell. Diese Glyphen sind Symbole, und wie alle Symbole können sie den Intellekt umgehen. Das ist auch der Grund dafür, dass es uns so schwerfällt, uns von unkorrekter Symbolik frei zu machen. Es gibt eine stillschweigende Interaktion zwischen dem Astrologen und diesen Symbolen, die weit über ein schnelles Niederschreibens von Ideen hinausgeht. Ähnlich wie Ideogramme sind diese Symbole Repräsentanten von Prinzipien, die weit über ihre einfachen Namen und ihre Gestalt hinausreichen.

Sie sind symbolisch für ein komplexes System an Entsprechungen. Wir können diese Korrespondenzen als eine Verkörperung bestimmter Dinge oder, in astrologischen Worten, als Herrschaften zum Ausdruck bringen. Das System der Entsprechungen ist aber sehr viel profunder, als diese Worte nahelegen.“

Jean Baptiste Morin was born in Villefranche in Beaujolais
on 23 February 1583 at 8:28:40 a.m. GMT – Biography – https://forumonastrology.com/foa/newmain.html – https://talk.vonabisw.de/Sitter/Morin2.pdf – Page 3:“It was Claude Dormy who introduced Morin to our astrological Science“ – Morin, speaking of Gustavus Aldolphus‘ nativity, makes in Book 18, Chapter 15 comments about what he calls „accidental houses,“ in contrast to the „formal houses,“ which he says are Regiomontanus. These accidental houses are essentially what would now be called Whole Sign houses. One could have a theory about Morin’s idea of accidental houses that concerns the analogy between the circle of houses and circle off signs–based in part on Morin’s theory of the formation of the signs and houses set out in the first sections of Book 14 (signs) and Book 17 (houses).

A book that does a fine job of teaching use of Morin’s method. The first part of the book is on horary (though Morin, erroneously rejected horary). In the second part he teaches natal astrology, with particular attention to making accurate predictions using the natal, of course, and directions, solar and lunar revolutions, direction of the revolutions, and transits. The book is a somewhat revised version of his previously published two-volume Mysteries of Medieval Astrology. Penelope Sitter did write write the foreword to the revised edition. –

Alexey Borealis – Astrologer, Scientist, Educator

–https://morinus-astrology.com/astrologer-interview

Biography & Background

• Education & Scientific Career
  Alexey Borealis began as a physicist—graduating from the Kolmogorov Physics and Mathematics School, earning a master’s degree from the Physics Faculty of Moscow State University. He embarked on a PhD in astrophysics at the Australian National University in the early 2000s, under the supervision of Jeff Bicknell, supported by Nobel laureate Brian Schmidt, and was awarded two prestigious scholarships: one from the Soros Foundation and another from the ANU Vice-Chancellor morinus-astrology.comUdemy.
• Astrological Training
  He studied horary astrology under John Frawley, earning the title Qualified Horary Craftsman (QHC) –

John Frawley

(born 16 May 1955 in London, England)

https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Frawley,_John

is a prominent figure in traditional Western astrology—celebrated for his practicality, directness, deep scholarship, and provocative, witty style. Wikipediajohnfrawley

His Astrological Path

• Early Interests & Frustration with Modern Astrology
  Frawley explored various modern astrology approaches but felt they lacked depth—like a meal that never truly nourished. johnfrawleyWikipedia
• Discovery of Horary & William Lilly
  In 1993, he discovered the work of 17th-century astrologer William Lilly and began formal training under Olivia Barclay, drawn to the precision and verifiability of traditional methods. Wikipediajohnfrawley
• Founding “The Real Astrology”
  To distinguish his approach—rooted yet modern—he coined the term „The Real Astrology,“ aiming to preserve traditional astrological’s logic and depth. Wikipediaastro.comjohnfrawley

Contributions & Works

• Publishing
  Edited The Astrologer’s Apprentice magazine (1996–2006) and founded Apprentice Books in 2001. Wikipediajohnfrawley
• Key Publications
  • The Real Astrology (2001): A satirical yet deeply instructive critique of modern astrology; won the Spica Award for International Book of the Year Wikipediajohnfrawley
  • The Real Astrology Applied (2002): Delves deeper into technical and philosophical aspects GoodreadsWikipedia
  • The Horary Textbook (2005): A guide to traditional horary methods Wikipedia
  • Sports Astrology (2007): Applies traditional techniques to sports predictions Wikipediajohnfrawleyastro.com

  • Hosted TV shows like Frawley and the Fish, Odds on Sport, and Predictions!, where he showcased accurate prognostications Wikipediajohnfrawley
  • Offers diploma courses in traditional horary and natal astrology, and regularly lectures globally with recordings available Wikipediajohnfrawley+1

Reception & Impact

• Frawley’s work is often described as essential reading for serious students of astrology—combining philosophy, wit, and profound clarity johnfrawleyWikipedia.
• Yet, discussions within the astrology community are divided: “He is, in my view, one of the worst things to ever happen to astrology… beginning with him you will have to unlearn more mistakes than it’s worth.”
  Another writes: “He finally admitted his sports astrology book didn’t work… Dude is a con man.” Reddit On the flip side: “He’s still undoubtedly the greatest horary astrologer in the western tradition today… What’s most important is that his method works.” Reddit+1
  Others note: “Both. Frawley gained popularity in the early 2000s… he actually managed to quit his day-job and become a professional astrologer… based entirely on his predictive skills.” Reddit
• According to Astrodienst Astrowiki (German), Frawley dismisses pre-12th-century (Hellenistic) astrology and emphatically opposes modern, psychological astrology—calling it “flimsy.” He positions his work in the lineage of Lilly—and emphasizes a monotheistic cosmological foundation. astro.com

The University of Kraków and Renaissance Astrology: An Overview

The University of Kraków (today’s Jagiellonian University) emerged as a preeminent center for astrology and mathematics during the Renaissance, particularly in the 15th and early 16th centuries.

Early Institutional Foundations

• A chair in astronomy and mathematics—later known as the Stobner Department—was established around 1405, following the university’s refounding.ar5iv
• Roughly 54 years later, a distinct chair of astrology was created, quickly gaining a reputation that reached beyond Poland.ar5iv

Key Figures of the Kraków School of Mathematics and Astrology

The following scholars played pivotal roles in shaping the university as a hub of astrological and mathematical knowledge:

• Marcin Król of Żurawica (c. 1422–1460): Founded the department of astrology after establishing the astronomy chair. He corresponded with leading figures across Europe, such as Peuerbach and Regiomontanus.Wikipedia
• Marcin Bylica of Olkusz (1433–1493): Court astrologer to King Matthias Corvinus; he bequeathed extensive instruments and manuscripts—especially works by Peuerbach and Regiomontanus—to the university. This prompted a collective pause in lectures to allow scholars (including Copernicus) to examine his collection.WikipediaThe Renaissance Mathematicus
• Jan of Głogów (1445–1507): Produced 60 volumes on astronomy and astrology. Known for issuing annual astrological forecasts—including favorable times for travel or health—that influenced Copernicus’s early intellectual development.Wikipedia
• Albert Brudzewski (c. 1446–1495): Notable teacher of Copernicus; lectured on planetary theories using Peuerbach’s Theoricae Novae Planetarum and Regiomontanus’s tables.The Renaissance Mathematicusar5iv
• Marcin Biem (c. 1470–1540): Made contributions toward reforming the calendar, linking astrological practice with scientific progress.Wikipedia
• Mikołaj z Szadka Prokopowicz (1489–1564): Studied under Maciej Miechowita, later became a professor of astrology and rector of the university. He produced calendars and astrological forecasts and served as dean of philosophy.Wikipedia
• Jan Muscenius (1532–1602): Rector and head of the astronomy and astrology faculty post-mid-16th century; co-led planetary conjunction observations that demonstrated the superior positional accuracy of Copernican methods compared to traditional tables.Wikipedia

Broader Institutional and Societal Context

• The University of Kraków, under the patronage of the Jagiellonian dynasty, stood out as the foremost astronomical and astrological institution in 15th-century Central Europe.ar5ivarXiv
• Though some theologians (e.g., Stanisław of Skarbimierz) questioned astrology’s legitimacy, by the late 15th century several university scholars—including Jan of Głogów—embraced astrology both academically and commercially.ar5iv
• Sylwia Konarska-Zimnicka’s research highlights that astrology was not only practiced, but also institutionalized—manuscripts evidence professional production of horoscopes by Kraków’s astrologers for the wealthy, including members of the royal court.theatrum.upce.czptolemaeus.badw.de
• The university’s collections—such as early printed almanacs, ephemerides, and astrological works—underscore the integration of astrological tools into both academic instruction and societal forecasting needs.jbc.bj.uj.edu.pl

Studied Philosophy at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. – Earned a PhD in Philosophy with a focus on ancient and medieval philosophy. – Taught philosophy for about seven years at Universities in Illinois and Minnesota. Subjects included ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, history of logic, and ethics. – Completed the Master’s Course in Medieval Astrology with Robert Zoller. – Translation and commentary of classical astrological texts from Arabic and Latin into English, specializing in Horary, Electional, and Natal astrology. – Works directly from original manuscripts in Arabic and Latin. – Places techniques in historical and philosophical context.

This new translation of the Arabic version of Dorotheus contains extensive explanations, notes, diagrams

In the 1140s AD, Hermann of Carinthia assembled instructions from medieval Arabic-speaking authorities on interpreting the unstated thoughts of clients (now called “consultation charts”), often using a “victor” or mubtazz or almuten for topics or the chart. Hermann also offered his own reflections on the proper balancing of dignities, house rank, and planetary strength.

The famous, “first” Arab philosopher, al-Kindi (ca. 801-870 AD) wrote many instructional letters and works on astrology and the universe. The Forty Chapters is on horary and electional astrology: answering questions and choosing auspicious times to act. It is the second volume in the horary trilogy

The Book of the Nine Judges is the largest traditional compilation of horary astrology, drawn from nine Persian and Arabic astrologers. Translated from Arabic sources chiefly by the 12th-Century Latin translator Hugo of Santalla, it achieved legendary status but has never before been translated into any modern language. It includes material by Masha’allah, ‘Umar al-Tabari, Abu Ma’shar, Sahl bin Bishr, al-Kindi, Abu ‘Ali al-Khayyat, “Dorotheus,” “Aristotle,” and Jirjis.

Talk January 16th, 2024 – Hannover / Germany – MET 16/00 Uhr – Shamanic Astrology – https://astrologyhub.com/what-is-shamanic-astrology/ –

„Shamanic astrology recognizes that the planets have a LIVING ESSENCE. One that works differently from our human version of consciousness, but no less Real. And that this living spirit is something with which we can interact.“ … „In ancient Greece and Rome, astrology was used to help you identify your guardian spirits. The healer-seers of the Ascelipian dream temples used dreamwork and guided visualizations to bring healing and wholeness. Neoplatonists used astral theurgy to commune with the planets to forge a path toward enlightenment.“ … „So there’s no conflict that I’m both a traditional astrologer and a shamanic astrologer.“

Only when the soul is coupled back to reason and spirit (nous) is it free to will.

Metaphysik und Religion: p.315 ff:

„Through its origin in the spirit, the soul of man is always already free in itself. – But the soul only realizes its freedom for itself when it is active in the spirit. – …For Plotinus, the rationally determined will is not distinct from the virtuous will. – …These contents of the thinking cognition of the spiritual soul are the ideas immanent to the divine spirit…which is why for Plotinus the freedom of the will of the human soul is ultimately founded in the … spiritual soul…“

„My name is Mel Priestley and I’m an astrologer and professional writer based in Edmonton, Alberta. I’ve been studying astrology since I was a teenager and started formal study in 2020, after the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn (which was right on top of my Midheaven). I completed the Fundamentals of Natal Astrology certificate at Kepler College in 2021. I currently serve on the executive committee of the Edmonton Astrological Society. – I began my writing career over 15 years ago with a weekly wine column for SEE Magazine, a local (and now defunct) alt-weekly paper in Edmonton. I moved to Vue Weekly, Edmonton’s other alt-weekly (also now defunct) in 2010. I freelanced for Vue for many years and wrote hundreds of stories about wine, food, theatre and local news. I was also an editor for Vue (News and Food/Drinks) between 2014 and 2016. – Since 2016, I have written for many other publications on a variety of topics. Visit the Publications page for some of my recent writing credits. – To book an astrology consultation with me, please visit the EarthShine Astrology page. – Need to contact me?

Dass die klassische Astrologie im deutschsprachigen Raum inzwischen ein hohes Ansehen genießt und wieder von vielen praktiziert wird, ist zu großen Teilen das Verdienst von Erik van Slooten. Bereits in den 1980er Jahren, als traditionell arbeitende Astrologen in Deutschland noch sehr in der Minderheit waren, und die Astrologie der „Alten“ von vielen noch, im Vergleich zur „modernen“ psychologischen Astrologie als „vorgestrig“ belächelt wurde, setzte sich van Slooten unermüdlich dafür ein. Heute ist er einer der bedeutendsten Experten der klassischen Stundenastrologie in Europa.

Er ist gelernter Lehrer. Seit 1982 lebt er in bzw. bei München, wo er bis 2002 an der dortigen europäischen Schule Niederländisch, Italienisch und Philosophie unterrichtete. Seit seiner Pensionierung ist er Vollzeitastrologe. Er hat auch Wohnsitze in den Niederlanden und Italien, und ist mit der Homöopathin und Astromedizinerin Sonja van Slooten verheiratet.

The Course

The Traditional Horary Course – Overview and Syllabus

https://sue-ward.co.uk/course/ –

All students begin their studies with the first five lessons. No matter how experienced they might be, it is unlikely that they will have encountered at least, some of this material previously. In order that all students work from the same orientation, all begin at this point. The material in these early lessons is the most important that they will learn with The Traditional Horary Course, or, perhaps, at all.

After that they may choose which module they wish to study, however, to obtain the Diploma, theymust have completed all lessons, attended all classes, and completed the required three verified predictions.

Course and Book Presentation

The Book 1

https://sue-ward.co.uk

For the first time since its inception in 1993, the Traditional Horary Course is in book form as a foundational text for students. It contains twenty lessons teaching the entire traditional system as it applies to horary astrology, the art of interrogations, for beginning and advanced students. Sue Ward explains the astrological system as it stood in the early modern period and as it was articulated by William Lilly (1602-1681) in his Christian Astrology. He studied widely and in great depth, and was the foremost astrologer of the mid-seventeenth century. His study of astrology was filtered through his wide practice and disseminated through his textbook and other writings. The result of his work is presented here through the lens of one of his students.

The Book is an Encyclopaedic Explanation of the Techniques of William Lilly’s teaching and practice with lots of example charts, it is therefore an excellent reference work for all astrologers.

The School of Traditional Astrology

Quotes

„The School of Traditional Astrology places its focus on tried and tested astrological techniques that are based on profound metaphysical principles and which have proven their worth over centuries of successful practical application.

Founded by Deborah Houlding in 1996, and initially specialising only in horary astrology, the school is now the collaborative product of some of the world’s finest astrologers working together to create an expanding syllabus of courses. Currently, the STA offers training in horary astrology (in English, Chinese and Greek) and medical astrology: new courses on electional astrology and astronomy for astrologers are scheduled for release in 2021.

The STA does not currently offer courses suitable for beginners.“

https://www.hellenisticastrology.com/texts/ – Quote: „Vettius Valens – The first critical edition of the work of the 2nd century astrologer Vettius Valens, known as the Anthology, was published by Wilhelm Kroll in 1907. This edition is available for download below thanks to Google Books. David Pingree later published an updated edition of the text with additional fragments in the 1986, thus superseding Kroll’s edition. While Pingree’s edition should be the primary one used for any translations at this point, Kroll’s is still a useful starting point…

A full English translation of Valens’ Anthology was released online in late 2010 by Mark Riley. For more information see our entry on Riley’s translation of Vettius Valens on our blog.“

Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus

https://ptolemaeus.badw.de/team/4 – https://ptolemaeus.badw.de/project

1. The project Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus is dedicated to the edition and study of the Arabic and Latin versions of Ptolemy’s astronomical and astrological texts and related material. This ‘Corpus Ptolemaicum’ includes three categories of texts:
   1. Ptolemy’s authentic works, comprising the Almagest, the Tetrabiblos and the minor works Planetary Hypotheses, Phaseis, Analemma, Planisphaerium, and Handy Tables.
   2. Pseudepigrapha (works falsely attributed to Ptolemy), i.e. mainly the Centiloquium, but also other astronomical and astrological works, about 30 of which are known in Arabic and Latin.
   3. Commentaries on the texts under A and B above.
2. General aim – The aim of the project is to provide a full treatment of the Corpus Ptolemaicum, including a catalogue of manuscripts (§3 below), editions of the texts (§§4-6), and various tools and studies towards a better understanding of Ptole­my’s reception in the Arabic/Islamic world and Latin/Christian Europe up to 1700 A.D.

Dr. Lee Lehman – Martial Art of Horary Astrology Taschenbuch – 17. April 2002

Horary is the astrological method for answering a specific question by examining a chart drawn for the moment of the question. Horary astrology shares with martial arts training the teaching of a combination of method and intuition. In both, repetitive practice results not merely in good technique, but ultimately in Art that goes beyond all technique. Horary possesses this martial quality because it is the only branch of Astrology that functions exclusively in the moment. With nativities, we are always going beyond the birth moment with transits, progressions, etc. Because Horary is immediate, its skills must be sharper, and cut deeper. The purpose of this work is to present the technique of Horary, viewed through the lens of Western Classical Astrology. By the time you finish reading this, you will have a good understanding of how Classical Astrology works, how Horary works, the kinds of Questions that Horary can answer, and the approaches that are available to answering those questions.

MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology

Information by Bernadette Brady – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkWCPwO0WNw&list=PLqrXs5EoIK0mx0Y8bycjcT6etJZkck-XR&index=10

https://www.astrology.org.uk/astrology-at-university-the-ma-in-cultural-astronomy-and-astrology-by-nicholas-campion/

Quotes:“First, a bit of background. We do not teach astrology as a vocational discipline – and for very good reasons. In 2000 there was a two-day meeting of all the astrological schools and national astrological societies in the UK, along with some academics, and it was agreed that the teaching of astrology as chart-reading was done well enough by the astrological schools,  and that postgraduate education should deal with historical, cultural and philosophical issues. So we set off at Bath Spa University College, our first home, in 2002, to create a postgraduate course – a MA – which explored astrology from a historical, anthropological and philosophical perspective.“

„As we are based in the University’s Faculty of Humanities we do not have to consider any notions of astrology’s truth or otherwise. These are scientific concerns which don’t bother us. Neither are we concerned with proving astrology. Instead we are interested in the experience of astrology, what astrologers say and do – and what they said and did in the past. We treat astrology as a universal feature of human culture so, although most of the material concerns western astrology, we are beginning to include information from India and China, and students can explore the history and culture of Aztec, African or Australian Aboriginal astrologies – or of anywhere else – of they wish. We try to embrace all student interests!“

„About 80% of our students have a background as students or practitioners of astrology, while 20% have a general interest in the wider culture of astronomy and the ways in which we use the sky to make meaning in our lives.“

„We also take more traditional academic approaches: in the History of Astrology module one of the assignments requires an examination of the use or depiction of one planet, zodiac sign or constellation through at least three sources, which may be astrological or astronomical or both, as long as one is modern and one is ancient.“

„The first module (‘Introduction to Cultural Astronomy and Astrology’) focuses on debates about the nature of culture; the philosophy and nature of astrology, and theories about how and why it works….“

„The second compulsory module, ‘Researching Contemporary Cosmologies’, deals with such issues as the position of the researcher in the research process….Amongst the other topics we cover are the nature of symbol, the development of psychological astrology, classical divination and theurgy, and the nature of sacred space, and students get a chance to learn how to work out astronomical alignments at ancient sites, analyse astrological texts, and keep a sky journal.“

Initiated in 2002 as a campus-based degree with fifteen students, the MA has been taught online since 2008. – https://www.academia.edu/40449336/A_Niche_Degree_a_Case_Study_of_an_MA_in_Cultural_Astronomy_and_Astrology

(Quotes) from https://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/ma-cultural-astronomy-astrology/ –

„The Centre – and the MA – are a part of the Institute of Education and Humanities  = the former School of Archaeology, History and Anthropology in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.“

Prof. Campion:“Our work can be summed up as the study of the many, varied and rich ways in which human beings relate to the cosmos, and use the sky as a backdrop for their lives, looking to it to provide meaning and encourage action. Astronomy and astrology in the sense they are widely understood now were not distinguished in premodern and non-western societies, which explains why we can bracket them together in the wider pursuit of understanding the relationship between humanity, culture and the cosmos.“

„Nick Campion is an associate Professor in Cosmology and Culture at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, where he is also the programme Director of the MA in Cultural Astronomy – https://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/ma-cultural-astronomy-astrology/ – Over the duration of the MA, students take four thirty credit modules and then write a dissertation worth 60 credits. A full-time student would take two modules per term. In the former structure one twenty credit module would require about 10 to 12 hours of study per week. Each module of the former structure consisted of eight weeks of course work plus, usually an extra four weeks to complete the final essay. Students work in their own time depending on other professional or family commitments. – The course, quite simply, is unique. It is the only accredited university degree in the world to explore the human relationship with the sky through history and culture. We cover a wide range of material, from the ancient world to the present, and across cultures, and give students the chance to undertake individual research projects.“

The European Society for Astronomy in Culture is a Professional Association of scientists working in the field of Astronomy in Culture or Anthropological Astronomy, including the interdisciplinary disciplines of Archaeoastronomy and Ethnoastronomy – https://easychair.org/cfp/SEAC2022

On the Internet in 2022 about the Sophia Project:

The goal of the Sophia Project is to advance the scholarly study of astrology and cultural astronomy in British institutions of higher education. We seek to make it possible to study any aspect, past or present, of the heavens’ human significance – whether social, intellectual, cultural, religious or psychological – and to do so in accordance with the best academic standards. Funds for this purpose are administered by the Sophia Trust, which is advised by a steering committee comprised of trustees and elected representatives from the astrological community. – At present the Sophia Project is funding four principal initiatives:

The Warburg Institute, University of London: A short-term research fellowship, the Sophia Fellowship, will provide funding for one month (£1,000), two months (£1,800) or three months (£2,600) to pursue research into any aspect of the history of astrology or cultural astronomy in any period up till 1700. Applicants must be 29 years of age or older. The first position was advertised in October 2001 for tenure in the academic year 2001-2002. We are hoping to hold a joint Warburg/ Sophia research seminar in summer 2002.

The University of Southampton: Professor Chris Bagley, of the Social Work Studies Department, has started a Research Group for the Critical Study of Astrology. The group is working with several social science postgraduate students with relevant research concerns (for example, the efficacy of astrology as a counselling tool). It has also embarked on establishing a comprehensive online data-base, complete with brief abstracts, on research into astrology.

The University of Kent at Canterbury: An undergraduate course – part of the study of Mysticism and Religious Experience – began in September 2001, and a module in the MA starts in January 2002. Both are entitled ‘Cosmology and Divination’, and take as their starting-point astrology as a divinatory practice in the ancient,  classical, Renaissance and modern worlds.

In autumn 2002 a pioneering Centre for the Study of Cultural Astronomy and Astrology will open, in its own premises, at Bath Spa University College. Its purpose is to promote the academic study of astrology and its practice, and to pursue research, scholarship and teaching on the relationship between cosmological, astronomical and astrological myths, beliefs and theories, and society, politics, religion and the arts, both past and present. It will offer an MA. The Centre will be led by a Principal Lecturer supported by a Senior Lecturer

https://www.astro.com/astrowiki/de/Jean-Baptiste_Morin

Astrologia Gallica – Buch XXI – https://www.astronova.de/astrologia-gallica-buch-xxi.html – Es ist eine Ironie des Schicksals, dass in der Astrologie heute sehr wenig über das Werk jenes Mannes bekannt ist, der ihre Deutungsgrundlagen ganz entscheidend geprägt hat: Jean Baptiste Morin, der im Jahre 1630 als Professor der Mathematik an das Collège de France berufen wurde. Das Lebenswerk von Morin, an dem er mehr als 30 Jahre gearbeitet hatte, trägt den Titel ASTROLOGIA GALLICA, ein mächtiger in 26 Bücher eingeteilter Foliant. Sein Ausgangspunkt ist die Lehre des Ptolemaeus, dessen Werk er aber von allen mittelalterlichen Zusätzen und abergläubischen Regeln bereinigte und mit den Kenntnissen des 17. Jahrhunderts aktualisierte. Das Kernstück seiner astrologischen Theorie bildet die im 21. Buch der ASTROLOGIA GALLICA dargestellte Determinationslehre.Im ersten Teil des 21. Buches untersucht Morin die Theorien über den Einfluss der Gestirne, die von Kepler und anderen Zeitgenossen vertreten wurden, und erläutert mit scharfer Logik, was er akzeptiert bzw. zurückweist. Im zweiten Teil beschreibt er sein Lehrgebäude im Detail. Dabei vertritt er die Auffassung, dass die ausschließliche Herrschaft der Planeten und Zeichen vorrangig zu behandeln sei und beschreibt alle Varianten anhand von eingängigen Beispielen. Insbesondere dieser Gedanke der Zeichenherrschaft der Planeten ist ein Grundbegriff im System nach Morin und gehört auch heute noch zum unabdingbaren Kenntnisstand des ausübenden Astrologen. – https://www.astro.com/astrowiki/de/Jean-Baptiste_Morin – https://www.zvab.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=SCHWICKERT&tn=Die%20Astrologische%20Synthese&cm_sp=mbc-_-SRP-_-all

Kombination der Gestirneinflüsse

Eines der besten Nachschlagewerke mit prägnanten Deutungen, vor allem für die Betrachtung der Halbsummen.- https://www.astronova.de/kombination-der-gestirneinfluesse.html – Das vorliegende Werk ist seit nunmehr 80 Jahren bekannt und darf heute als Klassiker der seriösen Astrologie und Kosmobiologie angesehen werden. Die Stellung der Gestirne und anderer Deutungsfaktoren in den Tierkreiszeichen und Feldern, die Aspektverbindungen untereinander und vor allem die Halbsummen werden in über 1100 Aussagekombinationen interpretiert. Diese Interpretationen können sowohl für die Auslegung des Geburtsbildes selbst wie auch für die Prognose verwendet werden. Wer nicht nur mit Aspekten, sondern auch mit Halbsummen arbeitet, für den ist dieses Buch eine unschätzbare Fundgrube zur prägnanten Deutungshilfe.

Amazon Quote – About Anthony Louis

https://www.amazon.com/Anthony-Louis/e/B000APW31O/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1

„Anthony Louis is a psychiatrist who has been studying astrology as a serious avocation since his early teens and tarot for the past three decades. His longstanding interest in the history and symbolism of the divinatory arts led him to lecture internationally and to publish numerous articles and books on astrology, tarot, and other forms of divination. His highly acclaimed text on horary astrology first appeared in 1991 and was revised and reissued in 1996. His bestselling book ‚Tarot Plain and Simple‘ is a perennial favorite.

A more advanced book entitled ‚Tarot Beyond the Basics‘ was released by Llewellyn in April of 2014. A reviewer in Library Journal (14 Apr 2014) said of Louis‘ most recent tarot text: „Well researched and organized and offering a fantastic card-by-card appendix, this title will satisfy readers of tarot and divination systems who are looking for depth.“ — Janet Tapper

In 2013 Louis began to publish e-books about astrology and tarot for Kindle on amazon.com. He has also written the text for reports on vocation, secondary progressions, and solar returns for Halloran software’s AstrolDeluxe Report Writer and has translated into English Morin’s Book 18 of Astrologia Gallica on the strengths and weaknesses of the planets. Based on his study of Morin’s work on solar returns, he reviewed the classic and modern literature and in 2008 published „The Art of Forecasting with Solar Returns.“

The author is a member of the Astrological Society of Connecticut“ – Regulus Award.

Kepler College

Todays Vocational School – https://www.keplercollege.org – From March 9 – 2000 through March 9, 2012 – Kepler College opened its doors to students interested in earning a liberal arts degree that included the examination of historical, cultural and sociological aspects of astrology and cultural cosmologies and were willing to consider all viewpoints, both pro and con.

The Sophia Centre was founded in the School of Historical and Cultural Studies at Bath Spa University in 2002, as the first University centre in the world to teach cultural astronomy (defined as „the study of the application of beliefs about the stars to all aspects of human culture, from religion and science to the arts and literature“) and the history and culture of astrology. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sophia_Centre

The Centre is now in the Department of Archaeology, History and Anthropology at the renamed University of Wales Trinity Saint David (formed by the merger of the University of Wales, Lampeter and the Trinity College Carmarthen. – The Centre is associated with the Sophia Centre Press and publishes the bi-annual journal, Culture and Cosmos. – https://sophiacentrepress.com – http://www.cultureandcosmos.org – https://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/research/humanities-lampeter/sophia-centre/

What is left of a great Idea

https://www.keplercollege.org – While Kepler College currently only offers Certificates, it had been authorized by the Washington State Higher Education Coordinating Board from March 9, 2000 through March 9, 2012 to grant Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Eastern and Western Traditions: The History, Philosophy and Transmission of Astrology degrees to its students attending during those dates. – https://www.keplercollege.org/index.php/2014-09-13-19-56-32/degree-program/13-why-kepler-college – In 2000, Kepler College opened its doors to students interested in earning a liberal arts degree that included the examination of historical, cultural and sociological aspects of astrology and cultural cosmologies and were willing to consider all viewpoints, both pro and con. – https://www.keplercollege.org/index.php/2014-09-13-19-56-32/degree-program/13-why-kepler-college

Economic realities of the downturn that began in 2008 prevented Kepler from completing its push for federal accreditation as required by the State of Washington. Thus the authorization to grant degrees ended in 2012.

Sue Ward (2011) – Das Fundament der Astrologie – Wie die alten Herrscher und die neuen Planeten zu ihrer astrologischen Bedeutung kamen –https://www.astronova.de/login.php – Seite 140 – „The common sense got lost“. – Mit der Entdeckung der äußeren Planeten Uranus, Neptun und Pluto stellte sich die Frage, ob und wie diese in die Reihe der Herrscher eingefügt werden sollten. Sue Ward studierte zeitgenössische Quellen, um zu erfahren, wie die heute gängigen Deutungen entstanden sind. Es zeigt sich, dass der Einfluss der esoterischen Astrologie die Deutungsinhalte massgeblich geprägt hat. Am Schluß stellt sie die Frage, inwieweit es gerechtfertigt war, das System der klassischen Herrscher zu verändern. – Well – From a Scientific – Historical – Approach, the modern delineation of Uranus, Neptun and Pluto is the result of a very successful Scam (Betrug) – One of the biggest Hoaxes in the History of Astrology.

Steven wrote: „I do wish people would stop calling this conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter on December 21st 2020 „a Great Conjunction“! It is simply a conjunction! Here is what the man who wrote the text book on them had to say:“[12] Since the things from which to deduce advanced knowledge of the occurrences of general <types of events> and their particular instances in future times are gained from six elements, <here they are:> The first is from the celestial bodies’ positions in the horoscopes of the revolution of the years in which the conjunction of the two superior planets occurs in the spring tropical sign, happening every 960 solar years.[13] The second is from the celestial bodies’ positions in the horoscopes of the revolutions of the years in which their conjunction occurs when they shift from one triplicity to another, occurring every 240 solar years.[14] The third is from the celestial bodies’ positions in the horoscopes of the revolutions of the years in which the conjunction of the two malefics occurs in Cancer, and from the period of their conjunction in it, occurring every 30 years.[15] The fourth is from the celestial bodies’ positions in the horoscopes of the revolution of the years in which their conjunction occurs in each sign, happening every 20 years“I fail to see the word „Great“ any where here. In fact Abu Ma’shar does not really cover one of the conjunctions which later Persian astrologers actually called a great conjunction. His first one of Aries to Aries in 960 years is not right! (blasphemy!) it in fact takes 2880 years for the conjunction to return to Aries because each fire sign has a return of 960 years. That is to say that before Aries returns to Aries it shifts to Leo and then Sagittarius then back to Aries. That is the one the later Persians called a „great conjunction“. Just saying!I am sure my dear Persian brother Ehsan Khazeni who actually sits with these texts would be glad to confirm this As a footnote Masha’allah wrote:“For indeed, the conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter are the greatest conjunctions and signify events and divisions.“But his statement has to be taken in context and that is that he was comparing it to the conjunctions of ALL the planets whereas the later Persian astrologers made the distinction between the different conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter themselves, because there were distinctions in what they indicated for each type of Saturn/Jupiter conjunction!’Umar says basically what Abu Ma’shar says except in his time they were in the 960 years of Leo so he says Leo and he gets it wrong as well because he says in his mundane work on the conjunctions called kitab al-Qirānāt wa-tahwil as-sinīn;“The indications of the first ‘ām is taken from the returns and the periods, or transits of the conjunctions of thousands; I mean the conjunction of the two planets, Saturn and Jupiter in Leo (Abu Ma’shār says Aries), to their return to that place: this is a period of 959 years (thus the thousands and Umar is relating this period to the Zoroastrian cycle of a thousand years). This point of time indicates the sum of what happens in this period. At this point in time there is a shift from one condition to another, like of which has never occurred before. No indication is like its indication, no period like its period, and there is no doubt about the change, as we will explain.“ So it is only Masha’allah that calls these the greatest of all (planetary) conjunctions. While the majority of Persian astrologers made the distinction between the Saturn Jupiter conjunctions as to the events they indicated! One being greater than the others because it signified very dramatic events!“ re to Religions and Dynasties by Abu’Masar
