Precision Before Ptolemy: Manilius's Poetic Geometry

Manilius, an astrologer writing in 1st century CE Rome, is often dismissed as an oddity. His "Astronomica," a five-book astrological treatise written in verse, has long been treated as a curiosity rather than a serious source. But as a historian trained in "reading against the archive," I take poetic sources seriously. Applying historical method to Manilius reveals an intricate system of astrology rooted in geometric precision, one that not only predates but often surpasses Ptolemy. His work challenges the modern assumption that only five aspects were known in antiquity and shows that the debate over orbs in trines and squares is, in fact, an ancient argument among astrologers.

Also, please note that I personally interpret Uranus as exalted in Aries, in fall in Libra; Neptune exalted in Scorpio, in fall in Ta**us; and Pluto as exalted in Capricorn, in fall in Cancer. Those are not universally or even widely accepted placements.

I applied the logic Rhetorius used for determining the exaltation/fall of the inner planets to determine where I believe the most logical exaltation/fall is for the outer planets.

Every hour of each day is ruled by a specific planet or luminary. The order of planets on Sunday is Sun - Venus - Mercury - Moon - Saturn - Jupiter - Mars, and this order repeats for the rest of the week.

You can see that the beginning hour of each day is ruled by the planet/luminary that the day is named for.

Sunday - Sun; Monday - Moon; Tuesday - Mars; Wednesday - Mercury; Thursday - Jupiter; Friday - Venus; Saturday - Saturn.

The days of the week take their names not only from the planets themselves but also from the planet that rules the first hour of each day.

I do forecasts using Whole Sign because it's the only way to really do large-scale general horoscopes. In actual practice, astrology is very individual, very specific, and each person going through any transit meets that transit differently. As such, these are just general themes for the Jupiter in Cancer transit we're all experiencing over the next year or so.
