Re: Re: VMs: Modern Astrology vs. Traditional Astrology

[Pamela Richards <spirlhelix@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Jan

If that is what Elmar meant, or even what you mean,
then at last I grasp the point!

To recap (at least from my point of view, not to
presume to speak for Nick):

Indeed that "very little of modern astrology would be
incorporated in the manuscript that  is at  least 400
years old" was the question that Nick and I have been
hashing out.  The document I have referenced, De Vita
Coelitus Comparandum, written by Marsilio Ficino, was
published in 1480.  The question is whether astrology
practiced and published 514 years ago can be
considered "too modern" to bear on the VMs.

Since Nick and I have rather different ideas of what
constitutes "modern" astrology, what the term meant to
each of us and the dates of its onset required
clarification. 

I'm with you, Jan:  I'm not worried that Ficino is
"too modern" for the VMs.

A secondary question is whether the same principles
taught by Ficino are borne out by more ancient
traditions of astrology, making the question of its
"modernity" moot.  It is my contention that they are.

If there is anyone who is interested in this subject
and requires further clarification, I am sure, knowing
Nick's gracious nature, that he and I will be glad to
oblige you.

Warmly,

Pam
