Dear friends,

It is free of charge and enables us to bring information to you that would otherwise have to wait for the next issue of the journal. This time we bring you the results of the House System Poll. Please download you copy here!
We hope you enjoy it!
The editors,
Helena Avelar, Luís Ribeiro and Sue Ward
Sue Ward has just made available on her blog William Lilly’s true nativity.
This a very important information. So far the only source for the chart of this great astrologer came from his rival John Gadbury – which is know for his errors in chart data. Now we finally have a chance to look at the real thing, from Lilly himself.

Sue Ward was in Lisbon last Saturday to present a workshop on The Temperaments and Physical Appearance. Sue also explained the correlation between the natal charts and marks, moles and scars, using the charts of the participants as examples.
Here are some photos of the event:

The Academy of Astrology and The Tradition journal invite you to participate in the Animodar Project a global research project of Traditional Astrology.
The aim of this project is to apply the traditional chart rectification method of Animodar to as many charts as possible, using a computer program especially created to this purpose. Everybody with accurate birth data is invited to contribute.
To participate you just have to submit accurate data and you can do this by completing the on-line form.
Our own research has demonstrated that this method, which was very popular in centuries past, has great potential. In order to test this, we need a very large number of nativities with known birth times. We will, of course, publish the results so that all astrologers might know whether the Animodar is a useful tool or not.
For more details please visit the project’s webpage or watch our video presentation
We look forward to your participation
