Manilius deaneries

[Andy]

Hello everyone,

I've been discovering Planetdance for a few days and I'm thrilled.

Is it possible to display the deaneries of Manilius in horoscopes?

Have a nice weekend everyone

hi,

The what?

We are not clairvoyant wizards with crystal balls you know

Hi,

I'm sorry for this funny misunderstanding. ;-)
In Planetdance you call them decans. I used a translationprogram… ;-)
Manilius' Decans use the following rules, discribed in Astronomica:

 

characters	1. Deanery	2. Deanery	3. Deanery
Aries	Aries	Taurus	Twins
Taurus	Cancer	lion	Virgin
Twins	Libra	Scorpio	Sagittarius
Cancer	Capricorn	Aquarius	Fish
Lion	Aries	Taurus	Twins
Virgin	Cancer	lion	Virgin
Libra	Libra	Scorpio	Sagittarius
Scorpio	Capricorn	Aquarius	Fish
Archer	Aries	Taurus	Twins
Capricorn	Cancer	lion	Virgin
Aquarius	Libra	Scorpio	Sagittarius
Fish	Capricorn	Aquarius	Fish

Dekanate der antiken Astrologie

Manilius [4] führt in der Astronomica eine weitere Möglichkeit aus, Dekanate zu bilden: Hierbei werden dreimal die Tierkreiszeichen in ihrer normalen Reihenfolge (seriell) auf die Dekanate verteilt.

Da innerhalb eines Zeichens oft auch vom körperlichen, seelischen und geistigen Dekanat gesprochen wird, dass nämlich das jeweilige Zeichendrittel eben jene Bereiche des Menschen beherrscht, wirkt auch diese Zuordnung des Manilius sehr logisch und passend: das erste (körperliche) Dekanat wird schließlich immer einem kardinalen, das zweite (seelische) einem fixen und das dritte (geistige) einem beweglichen Zeichen zugeordnet.

In english:
Deaneries of Ancient Astrology

Manilius [4] explains In the Astronomica another way of forming deaneries: Here the signs of the zodiac are distributed three times in their normal order (serially) to the deaneries.
Since within a sign there is often also talk of the physical, mental and spiritual deanery, namely that the respective third of the sign dominates those areas of the human being, this assignment of Manilius also seems very logical and appropriate: the first (physical) deanery is always a cardinal one , the second (spiritual) assigned to a fixed sign and the third (spiritual) to a movable sign.

This System gives very interesting results.

thanks. This would be something for my friend Ed who does the classical sections. Maybe he can fit it in somewhere.

[edit] i see i wrote a decans module myself at horoscope - extra - decans. I will see what i can do.

Ed wrote that module. 

[Andy]

Thank you!
Do you generally see a way to integrate Decans into the Wheel?
This would be very helpful by working with them more often…

[Jean]

options - settings - classic.

Hi there - I have also added this into the Ed Greek Horoscope module.

Use Outer Wheel Display menu - Manilius' Decans.

This will add an extra ring to the wheel with the sign glyphs identifying each decan.

v.18.04: added manilius' decans as outer wheel display option - astronomica bk 4, line 294ff

Thanks. Ed

Hi Andy - no problem - it looks like an interesting system. Ed

[Andy]

After updating Planetdance I searched for the option to activate them, but still can't find…
What do I have to do?

[ABer]

If you want to show the usual decans in the main wheel: use menu options - settings - classic. There will be a choice there.

If you want to show Manilius version please use the outer wheel of the Ed Greek Module. Follow the instructions above:

Use Outer Wheel Display menu - Manilius' Decans.

Ed

[Andy]

Hm, I use Planetdance unter Linux inside Wine.

For me, there is no new choice for Manilius…

I tried both: fresh install and update.

[ABer]

Hi Andy - I have incorporated them into the Ed Greek Horoscope module. You can get this at Horoscope-Classical-Ed Greek Horoscope. Use the Outer Wheel Display sub-menu and choose Manilius' Decans.

I think Jean is just pointing you to a way to show the standard decans in the main wheel. Jean maintains the Settings script so I can't add them there for you.

Thanks. Ed

[Andy]

Works quit well, thank you Ed.

Do you see the Chance, to integrate this Decans into the Otions-Setting-Script?

This would be genial. :-)

[Jean]

that would be my department, but i'm sorry, no more expansion there.
