ASC & MC – The “I” and the “Other” in the Uranian System:  Where is the “I” in the Chart ?!    
In Traditional Astrology, the ASC and its Ruling Planet signify the “I” – the Immediate Native – Body & Mind & Persona. The 7th House and its Ruler signify “the Other” or “Others”.  The MC and its Ruler signify elevation in life, rank  achievements, goals, superiors, authority, and the Mother.  In the Uranian System, the MC carries Personal Attributes of the “I”, while the ASC is associated with “Others”.  In this lecture we compare and resolve this seeming contradiction.   (recorded webinar, mp4)

Astrology has never been too far from the Jews
They both have the same Birth Place: UR  אוּר כַּשְׂדִים , and about the same beginning (2nd millennium BCE).  It was later, in Babylonia, where they met again, as astrology was maturing into the way we know it now. The Jewish people were always involved with the cultural milieu around them.  In Babylonia astrology pervaded the educated circles and the Jews were not immune to its allure.  Astrology did not begin with the Jews, but of all the great Monotheistic Religions, Judaism embraced and preserved it, in ways – some visible and some occult. Yet, astrology presents profound philosophical questions and glaring religious contradictions that had to be resolved. This tension is represented dramatically in the opposed positions of Ibn Ezra & Maimonides.

Ptolemy, Kepler, and Witte’s Uranian System
Represent Important Historical Milestones, as well as Insights into what we do.  While centuries & worlds apart, they share a Similar Philosophy & Legacy, which Goes to the Core of the Celestial Dynamics in the Chart.   All three demand a scientific approach and reason as the foundation.  Ptolemy refers to the Natural Cycles, Kepler adheres to mathematics and geometry, and rejects many traditional doctrines, and Witte takes it into the 20th Century.     The Continuity, Influence, and Similarity that run through all three is striking.  Here we compare their Doctrines – and their application in modern practice.
