William F. Lilly's Natal Horoscope

Dear Forum,

Using Astro.com I can't get the exact co-ordinates as the shire or district is Not noted only Lilly's town as in England; so other than the Angles the house cusps are off somewhat from CA II on the ebook copy online.

If one doesn't change the data or enlarge the chart it tends to stay there providing no one calculates a chart off of the webb page below of Lilly's horoscope:

http://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi?cid=w52fileEKErsv-u1366140152;lang=e;gm=a1;btyp=2;mth=gw;sday=16;smon=4;syr=2013;hsy=5;zod=;orbp=;rs=2;ls=1;add=18;node=-Yn;pfday=-YP%201;fix=1;ast=&nhor=1&nho2=1

I have met a few horary artists whom are of the firm conviction that Outers should Not be used in Transits, Progressions & Directions, or Natal astrology despite other astrologers pointing out the obvious effects of Outers in Transits to their natal horoscope. As far as horary I try to stay Traditional, but I'm Not going to be an ostrich with my head hid in the sand in other areas of astrology and I hope the Ultra-Trads won't ostrasize us for walking on limbs or frozen lakes iced over.

But I've wondered for some time Why Lilly was such a genius in astrology and what in his horoscope gave strong indications that he would be the utmost horary icon West of Constaninople to this day.

Having began my early astrology studies under the Rosicrucian Fellowship out of Oceanside, California, under the writtings of the course by Max Heindel whom wrote from I'm sure Flossy Mae's(Max's wife) influence as I understand from AFA Flossy was the actual astrologer. Max points out that conjunctions are given to natives as earned genius from previous incarnations.

Well I was kind of right as Lilly has Mercury Rx separating from Uranus by 5 degress and 46 minutes. Now many Modernes except this orb and justify it by the Moeity charts that Lilly utilized from Al Burini. Mercury is lord of Lilly's 3rd and 7th, which I understand as Lilly's astrological genius and ability to write his three volumes of CA and more, as well as his high acute intuition which was demostrated throughout his life.

And of course Anthrodite combusted by Sol shows both his delayed marriage and his eventual success with that over-cooked Venus of his finances and accumalation of propertys.

Does anyone have counter points or disagreements with the interpretations of the cjt.s or other inputs to Lilly's horoscope?

Hi Clinton,

Good observation.

Do you put some weightage to Grand Trines in earth signs which are present in Lily chart?

As we know his marriage house is ruled by Mercury, being Virgo. But Syed, I haven't studied much about his marriages, how did that go? Was it trying for Lilly and difficult for her as well?

Hello Clinton,

Lilly married his mistress after his master's death (May 22, 1627) "upon the eighth day of September, 1627, at St. George's church in Southwark", and says of his matrimony: "during all the time of her live, which was until October, 1633, we lived very lovingly".

Thanks, Tariq. I had lost that link.

The data I gave of Lill's marriage with and the death of his first wife you'll find under that link, page 14.

an interesting feature of lillys mercury which may get overlooked by some is the fact it is essentially stationary about to go direct.. most astrologers seem to operate in a narrow window of what is retro or direct with no real astro definitions for what defines stationary.. using a window of a few days - lilly's chart has a stationary mercury about to go direct.. his chart goes with my theory that any stationary planet becomes very highlighted..

i like that.. it reminds me of a saying from the tao teh ching..

maybe you know it too?

'the farther you go, the less you know'.

maybe they are different astrologers interpretations of the same thing? LOL

Good morning,

For easy reference here is some relevant data from another thread:

Geoffrey,

Under the present Mercury Rx I'm a little hesitant on how to answer this. But from reading Gadbury's horary book it strongly appears Gadbury had Lilly's book laid out in front of him while he nearly copied Lilly's CA; with the exception of a few deviations like money earned from gambling as a 5th house matter or romances/affairs as 5th rather than the 7th.

As I understand they were rivals and he could be that Gadbury *may" be trying to throw a curve ball by giving this birth time!

But I did say *may be* because even if rivals and Lilly may refer to Gadbury like one of the Modernes Lilly addresses in CA, there is little doubt Gadbury respected his knowledge.

Thank Johannes.

Doesn't that sound so Merc Rx, I misread the name, it was supposed to be ***Lihin*** quote before my last one!

Geoffrey can ye forgive my ineptness. Snif...snif ....on my knees asking thine benevolent forgiveness...........

Thanks for the wake up call!

Lihin thanks for the chart I wonder if since the ephemeris in the 1600s were cruder than today's computerized ephemeris is that perhaps why John Gadbury's horoscope for Lilly is off on the asc. by a few degrees?

Also like one of our Moderators, astro brother Paul, I deviate in astrology in Natal work and use Outers, as they work great for me and explain things one just could Not see in 1600.

Note Lilly has the Sun(Sol) separating from Uranus by 9 degrees 58 minutes, that is just under 10 degrees as in Albiruni's tables found on Deb's great websight at:

http://www.skyscript.co.uk/aspects.html

That explains a lot to me of Lilly's genius as Max Heindel, a Moderne, leader and writer of the Rosicrucian Fellowship, said 'conjunctions worked as like foci giving genius that was earned in previous lifetimes'.

http://www.rosicrucian.com/

With Uranus oppositioning Lilly's 8th cusp it surely shows the drive behind Lilly and why astrology was such a challenge to him.

Lihin, even if Lilly had problems with John Gadbury, as our dear brother Geoffrey stated in that '..Lilly thought of Gadbury latter as a Cad..'. I just wonder if we could rectify Lilly's map what his actual house cusps would be? But knowing Lilly he probly did this for us already and that is his actual horoscope.
