Planetary
signification from the second century until the present day
James Brockbank
Abstract
This paper surveys
planetary meanings used by astrologers from the second century to the present
day, and considers why those meanings have changed. It examines the
rationalisation that astrologers have used to justify those meanings, and
whether they have been successful. It argues that the planetary meanings used by
astrologers are derived from the requirements of their practice and not from any
rationalisation that might be used to justify those meanings. |
