Thanks very much, added the link.

Also for those interested in the progress of Decaplex:

ps. what about the Genome Project? any new anomaly, pattern, etc?

yes, I'll have to write up some results from this soon. There are now 5500 terms in the glossolalary database, so we should think of some interesting way to experiment with them...

i have added many words from Aramaic, Pahlavanic, Avestan, Arabi and Farsi languages, so expect some acute anomalies. ;)

u/c - on topic, hoping PC back and functioning so will be involved in hard-core decaplexing ASAP (if flash etc. up to the job)

Reza - "i have added many words from Aramaic, Pahlavanic, Avestan, Arabi and Farsi languages, so expect some acute anomalies" - [speechless]

As a rigorous experiment, the Genome Project should definitely be considered preparatory (gunking together world's languages + semiotic mish-mash from northanger's feverish brain then stirring - if a pattern came out of this, what exactly would it tell us?)

>if a pattern came out of this, what exactly would it tell us?

exactly the problem I've been struggling with ;)

u/c - seems quite imaginable that each language processed separately could reveal distinctive signature though. More interesting would be if semantic clusters within (or even across (schizoterritory here)) languages betrayed consistent 'Genome' features. Still, GP deliberately molarizing and thus tendency to grind out molecular anomalies (pumping in polygenic gunk being the final guarantee of screeching statistical noise).

isn't it realistic to say that the 'signature' is unlikely to have anything interesting to tell us since it's just a straight amalgam of letter-frequency and the transformation matrix of decimal reduction? The latter is just an empirical observation, the latter a totally static mapping...

u/c - "a straight amalgam of letter-frequency" - think this goes a mite too far, since what gets measured is numerically weighted combinations not letter frequency per se (if a pattern emerges not sure it would correspond to familiar cryptographic measurements, but of course could very easily be wrong on this)

as you probably gathered, for latter/latter, read former/latter.
The problem if 'something is to be done' with this data is simply how one could present it in such a way as to bring out what is interesting in it; so it all comes down to the question: _is_ there anything interesting in it? As I said previously, for me the more data that was put in, the more what hypercosmic delight there may have been drained away...

u/c - "the more data that was put in, the more what hypercosmic delight there may have been drained away..." - total concurrence from me on that.
Be a shame not to do something with the abstract machinery at some point though ...

"the more data that was put in, the more what hypercosmic delight there may have been drained away..." - then ... can i have my words back? thanx.

northanger - we're talking about the molarizing device, not the gematria concordance, so chill (and no, you can't have your words back (not that it would change the fate of the molarizer much anyway, not after Abu-86 dumped the vocabulary of five different near-eastern languages into it))

Nick,

>>> not that it would change the fate of the molarizer much anyway, not after Abu-86 dumped the vocabulary of five different near-eastern languages into it

LOL ... call me 'Abu' again and i will engineer the most infernally hilarious name for you ;) By the way, i have unearthed another gematria masterpiece more thrilling than 'We Dogmatists = Christianity', i'll save it for my Salat post. i'm sure it gives you an irrecoverable flatline. :) Following this discovery, i think AQ is either an invention of CIA or the Z.crowd.

>>> if a pattern came out of this, what exactly would it tell us?

The End is Near?!! ;)

but seriously, Undercurrent when you extracted data from GP, you can send them to me. i have a couple of crazy friends (some of the best mathematicians / cryptologists in iran) who can help us.

nick - "we're talking about the molarizing device" - what does "molarizing" mean?

reza - "extracted data" + "the best mathematicians / cryptologists" - ooohh, do i get to see?

northanger - 'molarizing' means dissolving microscopic detail in large numbers (from chemical term 'mole' as you know from reading 'Hyle') - contrast traditional (molar) chemistry based on statistical reactions with truly molecular or nanotechnological ('machine-phase') chemistry based on precise engineering of molecules

nick - boy, that sure was helpful. and hyle doesn't have a thing to do with any of that stuff. you just don't get it.

northanger - how long are you planning on keeping this secret?

Reza - even better, I've open-sourced it.
http://blog.urbanomic.com/dread/archives/2005/02/freedom_of_disi.html

Nick (/everyone) - surely we have to analyse in more depth this "meagre evidence+enthusiasm=effective mysticism" equation, don't you think the reciprocal relationship of gathered evidence/hypercosmic delight is important...?

[1] do a search on HYLE and LUCIFER.

[2] see HB - http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/sd/sd1-1-04.htm

Now, why is Light called in the Stanzas "cold flame"? Because in the order of Cosmic evolution (as taught by the Occultist), the energy that actuates matter after its first formation into atoms is generated on our plane by Cosmic heat; and because Kosmos, in the sense of dissociated matter, was not, before that period. The first primordial matter, eternal and coeval with Space, "which has neither a beginning nor an end," is "neither hot nor cold, but is of its own special nature," says the Commentary (Book II). Heat and cold are relative qualities and pertain to the realms of the manifested worlds, which all proceed from the manifested Hyle, which, in its absolutely latent aspect, is referred to as the "cold Virgin," and when awakened to life, as the "Mother." The ancient Western Cosmogonic myths state that at first there was but cold mist which was the Father, and the prolific slime (the Mother, Ilus or Hyle), from which crept forth the Mundane snake-matter, (Isis, vol. i., p. 146). Primordial matter, then, before it emerges from the plane of the never-manifesting, and awakens to the thrill of action under the impulse of Fohat, is but "a cool Radiance, colourless, formless, tasteless, and devoid of every quality and aspect."

u/c / northanger - highly stimulating comments, reflection / research required this end ...

PS. u/c tried to email you innumerable times to apologize for slowness viz Decaplex (not sure whether mails got through, if they did you probably got 20+ identical messages) - connectivity here seems particularly crap right now - Google stuff hugely interesting (you OWN that research territory at the moment)

suddenly had a brainwave re. glossolalary - I'm just in the process of running the entire AQ data through rudi's automatic ontologiser rhizome-drawing software (as seen on the google post), which should at the very least prove abysmally visually fascinating. This will give a proximity-clustering representation according to the entire series of DRs for each phrase. It may take some time though, producing a cross-referenced matrix of 3000x3000 terms = errmmm...(as the G5's watercooling system begins to boil over)...a nine million term matrix. see ya later...

btw nick when you do get reconnected (do you have to apply to the commie central modem committee or what, LOL!) check my initial comments on the dread decaplex thread (it concerns changing some of the basic principles you contributed) - and also the new google function I invented, a really interesting game (northanger, you'll like this one too, I'm sure)

reza - i want to do a chart on hyperstition. can you give me a date, time & location that best defines when "hyperstition" was started? thanx.

northanger - "i want to do a chart on hyperstition" - isn't most obvious 'birthdate' first post? - Linda Trent's post on fiction, hyperstition, and Sutter Cane,
2:30 AM, June 19, 2004.

u/c - technical nightmare is slowly retreating - it's restricted to hotmail now (probably some hotmail/PRC bad interface issue, dunno)
will check what's going on (terrified of missing Decaplex v1.0 (?) entirely the speed you're moving)

nick - you want to use 2:30 AM, June 19, 2004 as hyperstition's birthday? i think this blog is on london time, is that the correct time zone & city?

northanger - assuming so (check with Reza to be sure) - tried to work it out and feel 90% confident

nick - "feel 90% confident" - what say you, reza?

don't worry decaplex has not yet reached phase transition out of cryogenic state (hence my radical suggestions...)

HOPI (N by E :: 19Cn40 :: HIGHER CROWN CHAKRA) 18º FROM YILDUN @ PATH 15: CONSTITUTING INTELLIGENCE–The FIFTEENTH (28) Path from Yesod to Netzach = ATU VII THE CHARIOT = CANCER = CHETH.

AQ 502 = CONSTITUTING INTELLIGENCE = HAD! THE MANIFESTATION OF NUIT

The Egyptian Revival or The Ever-Coming Son in The Light of the Tarot, By Frater Achad
http://www.hermetic.com/browe-archive/achad/egyptian/egypt3.htm
The Path from Netzach to Yesod continues the Influence from the Path of Leo united with that of Libra. By Tarot it is "The Chariot" which is attributed to the Sign Cancer, ruled by the Moon (Yesod). This is a very important card indeed. The Hebrew letter attributed to it is "Cheth" which is 418 the number of the Word of the Aeon ABRAHADABRA. The Charioteer is one aspect of the Lord of the Aeon, and he is in a certain sense the Initiator, for in this age the Influence of the Constellation of Taurus comes to use through the Sign Cancer according to the Precessional. He has harnessed the Black and White Sphinxes, the Traditions of Darkness and Light, and he uses them to draw his Chariot. He is under the Starry Canopy of Love. He is the Child of the Powers of the Waters, for he has descended by devious channels from the Great Sea; he is also the Lord of the Triumph of Light in its higher sense. He has the Strength of the "Lion" and the balance of "Justice" combined with the Power of Love. Dual Moons are shown on his shoulders, for, as Cancer, he is closely connected with The Moon. The Lingam-Yoni and Winged Globe appear on his cubical Chariot which represents "The Foundation" or Yesod. Opposite to him on the Tree is the Path from Hod to Yesod, that of "The High Priestess" or "Priestess of the Silver Star". This is attributed to "The Moon" with which Sphere it unites. This is the Channel of the Serpent of Light winding back from Hod and bringing with it the Influence of the Paths of Gemini and Virgo.

been investing HOPI global influence (systems / groups / individual). During 911, HOPI was midpoint for MERCURY-PLUTO and conjunct Lowell (Pluto) - hypothetical pluto construct prior to discovery - verifying strong plutonium influence. HOPI went retrograde close to hyperstition's recent trollwars.

HOPI (keywords by Martha Westcott): Native American peoples, culture, memories and behavioral inclinations; indigenous peoples; minority groups; contact with knives/cutting, corn-based foods, feathers, snakes and ambushes (inc. of the psychological variety); territorial claims and disputes; attack or ambush perceptions; deep-seated defense (of points in axis or aspect.)

Hopi currently retrograde 23Le36Rx and out of bounds with this declination: 46°53' 3.2166. Hopi went out of bounds approximately 27-April-2004 and remains OOB until 10-Sep-2006. [1] March 31 - Four American private military contractors working for Blackwater USA, are killed and their bodies mutilated after being ambushed in Fallujah, Iraq. [2] April 28 - Abuse of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq is revealed on the television show 60 Minutes II. [3] May 12 - An American civilian contractor in Iraq, Nick Berg, is shown being decapitated by a group allegedly linked to al-Qaida on a web-distributed video. [4] November 2 - Theo van Gogh, controversial Dutch film director, murdered by a Dutch-Moroccan assassin angered by van Gogh's work and criticism of Islam.

Note: Van Gogh was murdered in the early morning of Tuesday November 2, 2004, in Amsterdam in front of the Amsterdam East borough office (stadsdeelkantoor) on the corner of the Linnaeusstraat and Tweede Oosterparkstraat streets. He was shot with eight bullets from a HS2000 (a handgun produced in 2000 in Croatia) and died on the spot. His throat was slit, and he was then stabbed in the chest. Two knives were left inplanted in his torso, one pinning a five-page note to his body. The note (Text (http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/312)) threatened Western governments, Jews and Hirsi Ali (who went into hiding). The note also contains references to the ideologies of the Egyptian organization Takfir wal-Hijra.

I would like to propose this: the jedis are outsiders, survivors of another epoch, warriors, bearers of transcendental forces... "The Force" and Yoda are Pluto, the jedis are the centaurs (not Uranus), and Luke certainly fits with Chiron, as you say, the orphaned saviour and redeemer.

------there's a lot here & i'm still analyzing info

Juan Revilla (www.expreso.co.cr/centaurs) has said that a "planet in exact conjunction or opposition with the Sun is overflowing with power. The person becomes the incarnation (the "master") of the planet ... An exact solar conjunction is a powerful focus, but so is an exact lunar conjunction in a different way, or something else maybe, depending on how one finds the critical focus in each case. The "incarnation" image referred to the Sun only."

note the following....

VULCAN (03Cn01) µ–Hypo; Le Verrier, intra-Mercury orbit; Solar Eclipse, Enormous Eccentricity
PROPUS (03Cn29) {Tejat Prior, Eta} Castor's Forward Foot; Tropus=Turn(ing Point of Sun): Summer Solstice
ENDYMION (03Cn43) 1st Male Asteroid; Beauty, Moonlight Effect; Moon Love; Eternal Sleep, Limbo

SUN (04Cn08) Will power, ego; Core of individual potential + uniqueness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALIFORNIA (05Cn40) The State Of; Laid Back; Filmmaking; Pacific Ocean; Palm Trees; Surfing, Blue State

Vulcan is related to Mercury which rules the Communication, Internet, Digital Literacy, etc. Propus defines the turning point from Spring to Summer symbolizing increased heat, growth, productivity. Endymion was the first asteroid to be given a male name. Aten is the first of its asteroid class and represents Horus. California is possibliy recognized as the THE media production facility and producer of digital and other types of content. Blend all that together and you can imagine what the hyper crew are brewing up.

keep in mind, the SUN is the midpoint between CALIFORNIA and the VULCAN+PROPUS+ENDYMION+ATEN cluster. at first blush, looks like hyperstition has enough payload to get out the barn.

New Moon 17-June-2004 20:27UT. possible Crescent Moon visible & sighted on 18/19th. if so, there are your "knives". crescent moon visibility important in many religious observations, including Islam. therefore, CMV represents appropriate time (see KRONOS). expand Wescott's HOPI keywords and include NATIVE, TRIBE, PROPHECY and PEACE. prophecy can be an extremely powerful hyperstitional carrier (did i say that right?). ha!

CALIFORNIA. we're currently at sunspot #735, been tracking this due to bad solar storm in january. been looking at asteroids whose number corresponds with sunspots. #777-GUTEMBERGA is interesting because it relates to movable type: (a) hyperstition.abstractdynamics.org powered by movable type software, (b) movable type located in cali, (c) purchase of livejournal.com makes MT probably one of the largest of its type in the blogosphere.

Blogger - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogger

Launched in August 1999, it is one of the first dedicated blog-publishing tools and is credited for helping popularize the form. Pyra Labs is the company who coined the word Blogger. Pyra Labs & Blogger was acquired by Google in 2003.

Pyra Labs was located in San Francisco, Google is located in Mount View, Moveable Type is located in San Mateo ... CALIFORNIA.

from my livejournal site..........
Asteroid #777-GUTEMBERGA named after Johann Gensfleisch (Gutenberg), inventor of movable type, his bible considered to be first printed book. Liber 777 is a "dictionary of the correspondences of all magical elements" compiled by Crowley. "It is to the language of Occultism what Webster or Murray is to the English language". Moveable type allowed the mass diffusion of information (especially, in Europe, of the bible). Moveable type software is used for blogging and six apart, the company behind the software, is located in San Mateo, California. San Mateo, ironically, named after Padre Pedro Font in 1776. In Spanish, San Mateo means Saint Matthew, who is one of the Four Evangelists of the New Testament Gospels; his symbol is the winged, or divine, man.

correction on ASTERION from AQ Exalted post...
http://hyperstition.abstractdynamics.org/archives/005032.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i've creating a new system to map planets/stars/asteroids to compass points, pathwork & chakras. reverse pathworking using Frater Achad's restored tree (HEB 13 = Unity AChD; 13 reversed is 31). while working on the Hyperstition chart i got:

HOPI (N by E ~19Cn40) 18º FROM YILDUN @ PATH 15: CONSTITUTING INTELLIGENCE–The FIFTEENTH Path from Binah to Tiphereth represents "The Devil" and the Sign of Capricorn which is ruled by Saturn from whose Sphere it springs. This Key is called "The Lord of the Gates of Matter, the Child of the Forces of Time," and it represents the Birth of Matter from the Great Sea, or Mother, the One Substance. This is the Way of the Children of Time, Saturn or Kronus. It is the Path of the Tradition of Darkness, the twin-brother of Light, of Lucifer, the Satanic Saviour who Fell from Heaven. This gave birth to the idea of the Sun as the Devil or Satan, for it represents the Sun in his material aspect, the Red Disk of Atum.

on the surface (AQ 173 = ASTERION = CURRENT-263 = CURRENT-173 = LEVIATHAN), this seemed to fit Hyperstition, but, for some reason, it didn't quite work. checking my notes realized i wasn't going UP the tree as Frater Achad suggests. "15" can be considered a hyperstitional number / path since GON1 15 = AL and in AQ 31 = AL / HEB 31 = AL. thankfully, didn't lose this on corrected version: path numbers are the same, but zodiac & tarot are switched. corrected HOPI path:

HOPI / IOTA GEMINI / MULIPHEIN (N by E :: 19Cn40 :: HIGHER CROWN CHAKRA) 18º FROM YILDUN @ PATH 15: CONSTITUTING INTELLIGENCE–The FIFTEENTH (28) Path from Yesod to Netzach = ATU VII THE CHARIOT = CANCER = CHETH.

fixed stars currently at Cancer 19 are: IOTA GEMINI ("associate thinking" - suggestive? - "schizoanalysis") & MULIPHEIN (Isis, Dogs, Dogbites, Disputes). additionally, SIRIUS is at Cancer 14, MOON is at Cancer 11. corrected version seems a better fit for Hyperstition since GEMINI concerns the intellect ruled by MERCURY who influences communication, internet, etc. for dogs & dogbites see "a good meal", "rabid dogs are the spawns of Abzu (Abyss)", etc.

what about ASTERION & the DEVIL then?

ASTERION (ENE :: 17Vi46 :: THROAT CHAKRA {Visuddhi}) 76º FROM YILDUN @ PATH 28: NATURAL INTELLIGENCE–The TWENTY-EIGHTH (15) Path Tiphereth to Chokmah = ATU XIX THE SUN = SUN = RESH.

--SUN-MERCURY conjunct at Gemini 28 *OPPOSITE* PLUTO 20Sg42Rx -- GALACTIC CORE is 26Sg55. GON1 28 = EARTH'S CORE.

SPICA (ESE :: 23Li54 :: HIGHER HEART CHAKRA) 112º FROM YILDUN @ PATH 26: RENOVATING ONE–The TWENTY-SIXTH (17) Path from Tiphereth to Binah = ATU XV DEVIL = CAPRICORN = AYIN.

--hey! i've managed to put Spica in with the Devil. aka ASTRAEA (Star Maiden; Starry-One; Lightning-Bolt) goddess of justice, last of the gods to leave earth.

ALGOL (NW :: 26Ta13 :: 3RD EYE CHAKRA {Anja}) 325º FROM YILDUN @ PATH 17: DISPOSING ONE–The SEVENTEENTH (26) Path from Hod to Tiphereth = ATU VI THE LOVERS = GEMINI = ZAIN.

AQ 93 = SPICA = MARY = ROSE
AQ 92 = ALGOL = BEAST = IBLIS
AQ 185 = SPICA-ALGOL = CITY OF GOD = JERUSALEM = EXISTENCE = UNIVERSE

astrologers call fixed star ALGOL "the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens". ALGOL blinks actually because it has an eclipsing binary: "every 68 hours and 49 minutes the demon 'blinks' for roughly 8 hours as the dimmer star of the pair passes between the brighter star and the earth"). Ancient Arabs thought it was spooky, and called the star Algol, or Al-Ghul, which means 'The Ghoul' or 'Demon Star', and Ri'B al Ohill, the 'Demon's Head'. It is said to have been thus called from its rapid and wonderful variations. Algol is the most famous of the eclipsing variables and the only one known of in ancient times. This behavior was attributed to a pulsing eye of the Gorgon Medusa." ATU VI LOVERS related to ATU XIV ART "the most obscure and difficult of the Atu" - crowley. ALGOL blinking correlates to Gemini's mutable + mercurial nature; see crowley's book of thoth for more info.

give me a week or so to condense (mol.a.rize) all this output.

Hyperstition MOON 11Pi18 conjuncts my natal moon at 10Pi44. decided to consider chart rulers based on moon's position (since hyperstition & northanger are both geminis & northanger has been repeatedly told to work from her moon). in my astro system, ALASTOR is the ruling planet for this degree. #35-MARCHOSIAS is the ruling Goetia, UTI is the Aethry, ATU XIX SUN is Major Card, 9 of Cups is Minor Card. ALASTOR is the unofficial name of plutino BU48 and is the closest you can get to Aleister.

interesting, the astro-grid i create in excel works like a hologram taking a celestial "snapshot" for a 12-day period. comparing my natal moon with transiting moon for that day and moon's position from Yildun:

And I was about to answer him: "The light is within me." But before I could frame the words, he answered me with the great word that is the Key of the Abyss. And he said: Thou hast entered the night; dost thou yet lust for day? Sorrow is my name, and affliction. I am girt about with tribulation. Here still hangs the Crucified One, and here the Mother weeps over the children that she hath not borne. Sterility is my name, and desolation. Intolerable is thine ache, and incurable thy wound. I said, Let the darkness cover me; and behold, I am compassed about with the blackness that hath no name. O thou, who hast cast down the light into the earth, so must thou do for ever. And the light of the sun shall not shine upon thee, and the moon shall not lend thee of her lustre, and the stars shall be hidden, because thou art passed beyond these things, beyond the need of these things, beyond the desire of these things.

http://www.expreso.co.cr/centaurs/posts/notes/naming.html
The name I like for BU48 is not a centaur name, so I imagine that it will be rejected and most of won't like it, but 1998BU48 is not among the other centaurs anyway, it is much farther than all of them, and much closer to Pluto. I imagine it as the "twilight" aura that surrounds or announces the realm of Pluto as we approach it, like a very large set of Plutonian wings that extend Pluto's atmosphere to us. This "atmosphere" is a good symbol of such long-wave open orbits. Its name is "Alastor", "the avenger", one of the 4 bat-winged, flame-tressed steeds which draw Pluto's black chariot. This name at first may be natural only to a plutino, but it depends on how close one sees BU48 to Pluto. I think it is very close, and would feel comfortable with this name.
..........
I recently imagined it as a sort of cosmic egg from which a serpent comes out when it is broken, because of its Plutonian associations and the sound qualities = B-U-O (eight=OCHO in Spanish, while "8" is a double "o" and a serpent anyway)
..........
Recall that I had found one literary reference to Alastor at least in Claudius Claudianus, "De Raptu Proserpinae", which I downloaded from the Web but is in Latin, and I can't read it. Can someone translate this passage?

"Orphnaeus crudele micans Aethonque sagitta
ocior et Stygii sublimis gloria Nycteus

I think the 4 of them are described here: Orphnaeus - Aethonque - Nycteus - Alastor

These cards are attributed to Yesod. After the double excursion into misfortune, the current returns to the middle pillar. This Sephira is the seat of the great crystallization of Energy. But it takes place very far down the Tree, at the apex of the third descending triangle, and a flat triangle at that. There is little help from low, unbalanced spheres like Netzach and Hod. What saves Yesod is the direct ray from Tiphareth; this Sephira is in the direct line of succession. Each of these cards gives the full impact of the elemental force, but in its most material sense; that is, of the idea of the force, for Yesod is still in Yetzirah, the formative world. Zoroaster says: "The number Nine is sacred, and attains the summit of perfection."

" There once was a man from Nantucket...

u/c - " There once was a man from Nantucket..." - you piss me off something awful. but i still like you though.

likewise, I'm sure.

northanger - we definitely need to add a consistent astronummy line to proceedings - at the moment feel you're the only one thoroughly plugged into this domain. Going to add a Lemurian Planetwork post promise to my growing (and increasingly implausible list) to outline where i think hyperstition is right now (at least virtually) in respect to these modes of observation/discourse.
PS. IBLIS = 96 (not 92).
PPS. 93 resonances very strong: MOON = MARY = BLOOD = ROSE (almost enough to base one of those 'Menstrual Secrets of Gnostic Christianity' pop theology books on - Kenneth Grant territory)

nick - "IBLIS = 96 (not 92)"
correction: AQ 92 = ALGOL = BEAST = EBLIS = GRAIL

nick - "Going to add a Lemurian Planetwork post promise to my growing (and increasingly implausible list) to outline where i think hyperstition is right now (at least virtually) in respect to these modes of observation/discourse."

methinks topic involves purple monkey who lives to dishwash. heard through grapevine monkey thinks hyper dishup is more, shall we say, white-collar than blue-collar. blue goes better with purple on color speculum since purple tends to bleed all over the white stuff. no look good, so the monkey observes. what say you?

so important it must be said twice.

which reminds me: hyperstition chart has [1] kite shape--not classic form--pointing downward to pisces. kites get tangled in the air if upward (avoid trees), and get grund in the earth if pointed downward (hmm); and [2] grand mutable cross: PISCES (imagination, emotion, transcendence) + VIRGO (analytical, critical, perfection) {CROSS} GEMINI (inquisitive, perceptive, communication) + SAGITTARIUS (joyous, open-minded, freedom). PLUTO conjuncts GALACTIC CORE sending two arrows towards GEMINI: MERCURY and VENUS. VIRGO the only zodiac sign with mercury and venus assignments: mercury is exalted AND rules virgo, venus is fallen in virgo. pluto is aiming at gemini in the 2nd house, which is the traditional house of TAURUS (practical, skeptical, harmony): venus rules & moon exalted in taurus. which brings us to the PART OF FORTUNE at first degree TAURUS, above the horizon, on the ascendant (and the true node). still sorting all of that, but sure is durn interesting.

surprise. 7 major planets (su-mo-me-ve-ma-ju-sa) all BELOW horizon. dhane rudhyar on the horizon & "lights": "The horizon is the axis of consciousness" which separates the subjective realm of individual being (the solid earth) from the objective world of social and collective existence (the sky above)."

"Sun and Moon below the horizon: Life is lived, in this case, from the inner, subjective center in order primarily to fulfill the will and purpose of the self, and by means of predominantly individualistic structures of behavior, thought and feelings. This may lead to introversion and self-centeredness, or creative originality. Examples: Cromwell, Robespierre, Chopin, Liszt, Pope Pius XII, Lenin, Stalin."

sun at gemini 28 defines level of hyperstitional maturity & purpose (we're going get it done this time boys fer sure!); not clear yet if hyperstition is new or crescent moon, here's both:

"new moon type: Your typical personal characteristics are: a strongly subjective, emotional and impulsive approach to life and to everything that attracts your attention; a tendency to be emotionally confused or to reach out eagerly toward some deeply felt compelling goal, to project your feelings upon people and situations, without much regard for what these actually are in themselves. Examples of the type: Freud, Queen Victoria, Woodrow Wilson."

"crescent moon type: Your typical personal characteristics are: determined self-assertiveness, active faith, the eager desire to carry out an inwardly felt command and to clear the way for the fulfilling of new goals; negatively, a sense of frustration and of struggling against too great odds. Examples of the type: Louis XVI, Abdul Baha, Franz Liszt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Andrew Carnegie."

one last thingy? gemini is the only sign that doesn't hand out planetary powers--only two: jupiter in its detriment, mecury ruling. no planet finds exaltation in gemini. jupiter rules sagittarius where hyperstition's two-pronged archer located. compare/contrast venus/mercury combo in virgo.

CORRECTION...........
Hyperstition MOON 11Pi18 conjuncts my natal moon at 10Pi44. decided to consider chart rulers based on moon's position (since hyperstition & northanger are both geminis & northanger has been repeatedly told to work from her moon). in my astro system, ALASTOR is the ruling planet for this degree. #35-MARCHOSIAS is the ruling Goetia, UTI is the Aethry, ATU XIX SUN is Major Card, 9 of Cups is Minor Card. ALASTOR is the unofficial name of plutino BU48 and is the closest you can get to Aleister.

Hyperstition MOON is 11Cn18 conjunct my natal AMBROSIA (12Cn50), GEMINORUM 37 (11Cn47), SIRIUS (13Cn30).

In late September 2003, astrobiologist Maggie Turnbull from the University of Arizona in Tucson identified 37 Geminorum as one of the best candidates for hosting Earth-type life from a shortlist of 30 stars (screened from the 5,000 or so stars that are estimated to be located within 100 ly of Earth) that were presented to a group of scientists from NASA's space-telescope project, the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF)
