Christian Astrology (1647) by William Lilly – Outlined by Rhys Chatham (2024)
In 2022 a study group of Book 2 of Christian Astrology (1647) by William Lilly was founded whose members consisted of graduates of the School of Traditional Astrology (STA).
As we worked through the book, line-by-renaissance-English-line, I took extensive notes, which I present here. The result is a detailed outline of the rules for horary given by Lilly in Christian Astrology, written in modern English.
If the reader is interested in Lilly’s approach to a particular horary question, simply click on the corresponding link below.
We have completed our study of the first six houses. I will post the outlines for the fifth and sixth houses shortly. For the rest of the houses (seven through twelve), I will post those as soon as we complete them.
| First House Questions | Seventh House Questions |
