Fragments

This fragmentary text addresses ancient astrological techniques, specifically the method of determining the ascendant in an individual's natal chart. Drawing upon the elegiac poetry of the ancient astrologer Anoubion, the text outlines a calculation method based on celestial positions. Rather than considering various other planets, the method focuses solely on the relationship between the Sun and the Moon. It details the specific procedures for calculating the exact position of the ascendant for both diurnal and nocturnal births. Through this concise exposition, the work offers a glimpse into the practical and astronomical calculations employed in ancient astrology.
