Hellenistic Aspect Doctrine Module
The Hellenistic Aspect Doctrine Module contains a seven hour lecture presented by Chris Brennan on the original aspect doctrine in Hellenistic astrology.
This lecture offers a new reconstruction of a highly complex aspect doctrine that existed in the early astrological tradition, and provides insight into how those techniques can be used in order to improve chart delineations today.
The lecture is presented online in a streaming format through a private course site, which each person gains access to shortly after registering for the module. The module is an extract from part 3 of the complete Hellenistic Astrology Course.
Description of the Module
The primary focus of the module is a seven and a half hour lecture presented by Chris Brennan titled The Doctrine of Configurations in Hellenistic Astrology.
The purpose of this lecture is to present a new reconstruction of the original aspect doctrine in Hellenistic astrology. This is accomplished through the analysis and comparison of several ancient astrological texts which preserve a lost set of definitions by the 1st century astrologer Antiochus of Athens.
The reconstruction of these definitions not only provides insight into the highly complex aspect doctrine of the early western astrological tradition, but it also provides contemporary astrologers with a powerful new set of tools for the analysis of planetary condition.
The lecture covers definitions such as: witnessing, right and left, overcoming, hurling rays, enclosure, intervention, guardianship, counteraction, domination, bonification, maltreatment, and more.
The reconstruction presented in the lecture is partially based on a collaboration between Demetra George, Benjamin Dykes and Chris Brennan. It is presented here for the first time in its entirety.
