Plato's Astrology

Read the Preview - Book begins with a unique, 3-part construction of each sign of the zodiac via prose, poetic glyph reduction, and detailed exegesis of a corresponding shorter Spuria of the Academy. It then constructs the 12 House Square Chart directly from the geometry of Meno and populates its bulwark by detailing 8 other dialogues of the early and middle periods. The assignment of the remaining 12 dialogues of the early and middle periods to the 12 houses follows, one-to-one. This assignment is rigorously demonstrated from multiple interlocking vantages. From here, the 11 dialogues of the later period can be shown by elimination to consist (other philosophical content aside) of the 9 major Lots of Hellenistic astrology and 2 cogent commentaries on the nature of divination: quality and kinds of. The practice of divination is then available and in fact given through the working example provided by the dialogue Clitophon. The work concludes with notes on chart interpretation and a reappraisal of the Apology.
