As an example, suppose that an interrogator, who lived in California called a New York City astrologer, then the letter would be issued with a time and place from New York City. They were put to great use by Arab astrologers of the 8th and 9th century who inherited knowledge of Babylonian, Egyptian and Greek astrology. He wrote a monthly column for the Atlanta Astrological Society and shares his ideas in Daily Astro Inspirations. Lilly discusses Pretrial Considerations as a warning to the astrologer that he should consider whether the figure is radical and able to judge.
Of course, there are some contemporary “astrologers” who presume that they know better than astrologers of previous generations, and there are those who, without realizing it, base their knowledge on any writer before the twentieth century, relying on a system that has no root or foundation, one that has, to a large extent, “invented” by some aspiring astropsychologist to attract attention or reward clients financially. Leo had a heart attack and died, but not before he had adapted and twisted the truths of astrology to fit both British law and psychology, a subject more acceptable to the attitudes of his time. It is possible that a person has been reflecting on a question for some time and asked it to other people, but only when the person asks the question to an astrologer and the astrologer understands the question, is a letter issued. If you were to study that information now, you would discover that the techniques and methods used today have been distorted and changed almost unrecognizable, depriving astrology of its true meaning.
This involved emphasizing the signs of all recognition and many other misconceptions that are still taught to this day as astrology. Mundane house cusps are needed for this branch of astrology as practiced in tradition*; most quadrant systems will, but Lilly used Regiomontano. Instead of looking at a birth chart, the astrologer releases a chart based on the “burning question of the time that the consultant wants answered. If the astrologer asks the question, it is shown to him by the Ascendant and his ruler, just like anyone else.
If someone else who is not an astrologer asks you that question, the time it should take is when you, the astrologer, understand the question. Create the chart using the date, time and place where the astrologer (you, if you are the astrologer) is at the time the question is thought or understood.
