I had a “Eureka!” moment when an old man asked me to read his astrological chart, but he didn’t know his birth time. I’m not the “inventor of the wheel.” Rather, I’m doing some kind of archaeological astrology, collecting ideas in ancient texts and, as a metaphor, “assembling puzzles” with them. Stumbling Onto an “Archaeological Treasure” In his book, Paulus Alexandrinus points to certain transits of planets over the pre-natal moon, for example, as a warning of possible crisis ahead.( 1) Rather than the pre-natal new moon that Rudhyar and other modern astrologers have taken into account, my work considers that the pre-natal moon is the NEW MOON or FULL MOON before birth, whichever is the lunation which most immediately precedes the birth. Ptolomy (2nd century) introduced this method at the beginning of book three of his seminal work “Tetrabiblos.” Reading Paulus Alexandrinus (4th century), another important astrologer of ancient times, made me suspect that the use of pre-natal astrology was much richer than in rectification alone and I began to search for more information about it. The pre-natal moon has been used in astrology for birth-hour rectification since a long time ago. ![]()
