What you need
- A documented event or institution
- A consistent dataset
- A named timing and location convention
A reading workflow
- Define the institution or event and document the disputed date if necessary.
- Select the cycle or ingress rule before comparing outcomes.
- Use a consistent event dataset and include unsuccessful matches.
- Keep historical interpretation separate from causal or predictive claims.
Use cases
- History of political astrology
- Comparative study of public-event narratives
Where this approach stops
Raw cycles do not establish causes of disasters or public behavior. This guide supplies neither trading signals nor medical, electoral or geopolitical forecasts.
Sources behind the approach
- David Pingree and Christopher Brunner: Astrology and Astronomy in Iran ↗scholarly encyclopedia
- Francesca Rochberg: Babylonian Horoscopes ↗scholarly edition of primary texts
The workflow is an educational synthesis. Its references establish context and conventions; they do not validate all possible readings.
