I had the good fortune to attend a lecture by this scholar a couple of years ago. I found his scholarship to be unique and riveting. The substance of the day related to planetary aspect in the pre-Islamic Iranian tradition. The lecture is available online fromU of Chicago, but the recording quality is very poor. There were extensive handouts as well but unfortunately I no longer have them, having forwarded them to Zoller at the time. It would be a great subject for Austria!
Wow. Exaltation implying evil. Never thought about it like that. Forgive me if I'm mistaking but is the gentleman referring to Shree Ram's horoscope? That chart has 5 exalted planets in it. Thank you. I will gladly throw a contribution in if you guys talk about Nicoulland and Pluto😁
What he says regarding the planets as evil is coherent with the thinking reflected at the core of western tradition. There are several documents, some of them translated by Fiscino, that share this point of view. However, nowadays with the contamination of traditional Astrology, i think only a few understand this.Due to this I desagree that this doctrine is different of what medieval Astrology says.
Well its a complex discussion and depends on the point of view you are coming from. The ideia in the discussion and that for most Christian sources all creation is inherently good and therefore the stars and the planets, being created by God are also good.
