DOWNGRADING ASTROLOGY

PURPO5E1


Simple basic things in life function best while offering maximum joy. Such things do not need any upgrade. How can you upgrade the sky? It is already perfect in itself as created.


BASS


Should I upgrade my old Fender Precision Bass? Perhaps Jazz bass will do, but then can I stretch enough? That shimmering Japanese thing has inbuilt options. Many options. The downgrade happens precisely when you have too many options. I did not want them. Too bulky. Options distract and slow down a process. Netscape 1.1 is fast and small2 and it does what other browsers can only dream of. In fact I downgraded to Netscape 0.92 just for fun. On EEEPC under Linux3 I have a DOS box in case I will ever need astrological programs, which I do not. An astrologer does not use programs. Does anybody think that Nechepso, P-d-Usiri, Seth or Enoch used programs?


CEMETERY DOWNGRADE


The best European astrologers hardly had fascinating tools at all as they strolled the graveyards in search of inspiration. Much as true astrologers do today, they would calculate the positions of the planets by heart, directing to the moment of death to find out which aspect was fatal. This practice came so natural that on encountering someone they would direct the relationship chart while talking to the person who never suspected.


MAKE IT SIMPLE, PLEASE


Fender and Rickenbacker have set standards that need no upgrade. Four strings will do. How can one upgrade a mountain stream? One would only pollute it. In fact our task is to keep and safeguard the garden of Eden, tile it, yes, eventually, but not upgrade at all. Creation is already perfect.


ASTROLOGY


Astrology is simple. Even in not using the precise positions of the stars, one can play along with a popular “tropical” chart output4 in order to direct to issues such as marriage or the contract of your lifetime. For such a modest calculus one needs the knowledge already acquired by age 3. We had 11 apples, but the bear ate 5. How many apples there remain?


DIRECTIONS


Since all calculation can be done modestly, we need not complications. Of course, the astrologer wants to inspect even the tools that are not immediately required for his operations. There are historical as well as occasionally useful directions such as Chaldean house direction, kinetic lunar or


THE BUTCHER


The other day we have been able to initiate a local butcher into astrology, as you really do not need to have any talent in order to calculate issues in life. Speaking of horses we came to a simple calculus that warrants the best time for horse mating. We invented nothing new as everyone (by the age of three or later) is capable of counting. Did you count apples before age three? Because we did. It is amazing as well as sad to see grown up people quite incapable of calculating anything as armed with Japanese superprograms.


SUPERPROGRAMS


We suppose that the superprogram displays many options, say 50 house systems where you need one. Many house systems will crash already at Oslo latitude, but we love them all the same. It is interesting to observe people changing house systems in order to fit that planet there just in any house of preference. Just do not use the only house system that will work even on Mars, because it is probably perfect5. A French astrologer as appointed by the Swedish court noted with joy that the king is healthy in full longevity even with all planets in the 12th house. It will happen today, namely the “methods” never changed in Europe. The error in fact extends to two signs or houses.


LES MARCHAND DES PLANÈTES


Do we need to know where the planets are in order to divine? Apparently not. In times when we used less sophisticated methods, we were able to calculate the year, month, and also day, hour and minute (sic) of any marriage. Once we announced the minute five years ahead and were phoned (five years later) with the result nearing to the minute as the event was calculated. We forgot the case but the method was primitive, indeed. Of course we had no (need for) ephemeris, pen or paper. It just happened. The bear took five apples.


MATRIX HACK


If anyone can determine the future without the need for ephemeris, transits or even pen and paper, how is it possible to escape such futurity? The astrologer is a theurgist as he acts as connection between planes. The astrologer knows how to change times.

1The early RTRRT initiation used such mnemonic tools as purpO5e in order to stress that everything can be discreated as well as recreated, particularly astrology.
2Our favorite is Netscape 3 Gold on SGI Indy.
3Xandros is the fastest little Linux candidate.
4European astrologers apparently cancelled precession and decided that the sky stopped in order to serve them. They also assigned the 12 zodiacal signs to the ascendants, so utter simplification happened.
5Cartesian house system, as tested all over the known universe.
