1WILLIAM LILLYANDHIS METHOD OF PRIMARY DIRECTIONSby Rumen Kolev, winter of 1998A detailed research into the primary directions of William Lilly as given in his 'Christian Astrology',1647, 'Regulus Publishing Co.', 1985. Pages 487-831.Published in March 1998 in the journal 'The Primary Directions' and in the Feb. 99 issue of the USAjournal 'Considerations'.The title page of Andreas Argolus''TABULAE PRIMI MOBILIS'published in Rome in 1610.William Lilly most probably used the tables from this book forhis calculations of primaries.

WILLIAM LILLY AND HIS METHODOF PRIMARY DIRECTIONSby Rumen KolevThe predictive methods of William Lilly can be found in his book,'Christian Astrology', published in 1647. For the research made here, Iused the edition of 'Regulus Publishing Co.' from 1985. Pages487-831 deal exclusively with predictive techniques.All calculations and recalculations of primary directions andvariables in this article are made with the computer program 'Placidus'.Lilly opens chapter 98 in his 'Christian Astrology' with an examplechart (p.500). Pointing at the importance of a rectification for the 'judgement',he describes three ways to rectify a horoscope (p.502-519): Trutina Hermetis,Animodar and Accidentia Nati. Up to page 506 Lilly explains the first twomethods. His conclusion ( p.506, bottom lines) is clear cut, '.neither the Trutineof Hermes, or this (Animodar), are of so sure foundation, as that Correctionwhich is performed by Accidents (Accidentia Nati or rectificationby past events with primary directions).'6z 3z37xWilliam Lilly's ExampleChart19 September, 1616( Julian ), 2:24:30PM, Geo.

The S in the chartson pages 500 and 742 is in 1z 14x E. However, this must be a typographicalerror since on pages 512 and 774 the correct position of the S is given as1z 44x E.3

In the beginning of page 507 (chapter 100), Lilly mentions that some astrologersuse transits or profections for rectification purposes and gently sweeps theseaside as ineffective and dubious, '.as I could never find any verity or probabilityin either of those two wayes in my practice, so do I leave them to any who aredesirous to practice them.' His kindness goes even further and he directs the'desirous' to treatises by Origanus, John Schonar and Pezelius where theseways of rectification are explained. Done with that, Lilly swiftly andindustriously turns himself to elucidate the method of rectification, which heholds for best, namely- through eminent past events and their correlation withprimary directions (Accidentia Nati). On page 508 he writes: '.by (primary)direction (of the Asc., MC, the A, S and [Pars Fortunae]) most of theaffairs and contingencies belonging to every man or woman in a natural courseof life are found out, both in quality What, and in measure of time When.'For rectification purposes Lilly advocates using primary directions tothe Asc. and MC only, since the directions to the other three hylegiacall placesdo not change much with a change in the birth time1. According to Lilly, weshould first procure ourselves with a list of prominent past events in the native'slife, looking specifically for such events that can be associated with thesymbolism of the Asc. or MC. For the ascendant these are: sicknesses, afflictions,injuries.of the body. For the MC: honours, marriage, promotions.1- Some of the Placidian mundo interplanetary directions may have even higher time sensitivitythan the directions to the Asc or MC. In the Placidian system, the directions used in therectification are: 1. of planets to angles, 2. mundo parallels, 3. mundo raptparallels and 4. planets mundo to house curves.Directions of type 1,3 and 4 change their hitdates with 1 year if we change the birthtime with 4 minutes. The mundo parallels have the highest time sensitivity. It depends onseveral factors. Every mundo parallel has its own time sensitivity. It can reach as much as 4years change in the hitdate for a 4 minutes shift in the birth time!Or 1 year for 1 minute!From what was practiced in the regiomontanian system, however, it is true that in thissystem only the directions to the Asc and MC are fitted for rectification purposes. Thesedirections have a time sensitivity of 1 year change in the hitdate per 4 minutes shift in the birthtime. The only mundo directions that were ever practiced in the Regiomontanus system werethemundoconjunctionsandoppositions,buthaving low time sensitivity, they turn out to be useless for rectification.Other mundo directions like mundo parallels, rapt parallels et cetera, are theoreticallypossible in the Regio system. This was shown for the first time by Jerry Makransky in hisbook ' Primary Directions ' published in 1988.However, thesedirections were never practiced. Well, they probably deserve some testing at least !4

MWILLIAM LILLYMThe events where the body (health) is concerned, should correspond withprimary directions to the Asc. The events where the social position of the native isconcerned, should correspond with primary directions to MC. Next, Lilly proceedsto the explanation how to calculate quickly the primary directions. He constructs atable with the ecliptical positions of what he deems the most important points. Thesepoints are such that when they come by primary direction on the horizon (ascendant)or the meridian (midheaven), a corresponding event is expected to happen. What arethese points? According to Lilly, they are the big aspects of the planets, the Ptolemaicterms1, the housecusps (regiomontanian) and the antiscia and contra-antiscia of theplanets. This table, however, can be useful only for directing the points with latitudezero and Lilly directs also points with a latitude, like the bodies of the planets ortheir places of opposition, antiscia and contra-antiscia with a latitude.It becomes more interesting on page 514, when Lilly practically rectifies orrather confirms that the given birth time is correct. Obviously his client, a certainmerchant, is so young, that Lilly with great pains collects only 4 events:TABLE 21.2.3.4.Came to a Master of qualityA journey beyond sea of great concernmentSick of a burning FeaverAnother Feaver and much Melanchollyaged 16 years 07 monthsaged 20 years 04 monthsaged 20 years 10 monthsaged 24 years 11 monthsSince the first event concerns the social status of the native, Lilly logicallylooks for a primary direction to MC2. And since the event is a good one, he searchesfor the time when a 'good' zodiacal point has hit the midheaven. This time should bearound the time of the event, maybe with a -5 years deviation allowed, which willtranscribe to a - 20 minutes uncertainty in the birth time 3 .To check out the directions that could possibly fit in the nature of the firstevent, Lilly constructs a small table with directi
