MONTHLY MEETINGS

2009 list of interesting talks by various speakers.

The following article is the (edited) transcript of a talk Robert Hand gave at the Astrological Conference 2005 of the British Astrological Association in York, UK. Copyright Robert Hand 2006.

What is post-modern?

First of all I should define the term “post-modern”. Post-modernism as the term is usually used, refers to a set of philosophical movements largely arising out of contemporary French philosophy featuring in particular the work of Jacques Derrida, post-structuralism and the philosopher and historian Michel Foucault.

It may be naïve of me to think that I have originated an entirely new astrological technique, but frankly, I haven't seen what follows anywhere else. I must confess also that although what I am presenting here is a method that makes logical sense within the astrological paradigm of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology), as I currently understand it, it is more or less an experimental idea, so please take it as such. The only reason I'm bold enough to present it here to my fellow students of astrology is that, so far, it has produced very good results every time I've tested it.

“I have not ever cast a chart that was wrong that worked better than the one that was right...”

Astrological treatment

In this article, the third in a series on horary medical astrology, we will look at treatment on the basis of medical horaries, which proceeds completely along astrological lines.

- Every act you take, every choice you make, creates a system that perpetuates itself and has a life of its own - and has a birth horoscope which paints a picture of its destiny and your part in it. Life is a series of beginnings of countless journeys - it’s your daily choice where and when to begin them.

“Well begun is half done.”
“He started out on the right foot.”
“I got out of the wrong side of bed this morning.”
“Each day is the first day of the rest of your life.”
