The Hellenistic tradition bifurcated early in its codification, one track following Dorotheus and the other his younger contemporary, Ptolemy. The key drivers of the split are many, but they converge in a single issue: whether to reverse the Lot of Fortune for nocturnal charts. In close examination of what is said about lot theory, from Manilius to Dorotheus, from Ptolemy to Valens, we will outline why the choice you make regarding Fortune does matter, perhaps in ways you hadn’t considered. Wade Caves explores the origins of the Lot of Fortune, showing how misread ancient arithmetic gave rise to the doctrine of reversal – and how returning to the rationale of Nechepso and Petosiris restores Fortuna as the lunar counterpart to the solar ascendant.

Curious about what to do about the nodes in your chart judgments? You’re not alone. This webinar is dedicated to the use of the lunar nodes in practice. We’ll consider what the nodes are astronomically, and the many uses we find recorded in historical texts. The bulk of our discussion will focus on modern case studies where the nodes relay crucial information to us as astrologers. It can be tempting to overemphasize mystical devices like the nodes, so we’ll also explore methods of determining how much weight to put on them in interpretation.
