The Principles of Interpretation

The foundational principle of interpreting a configurational schema—such as an astrograph—is its synergistic nature. No isolated placement or single placement within the schema can unilaterally determine an outcome; rather, the result emerges exclusively from the combined and concerted action of all elements. This echoes methodologies in complex, real-world disciplines like medicine, forensic psychology, and jurisprudence, where the integration of all variables yields a final result that transcends a mere aggregation of individual components. An isolated placement is inherently common across a vast population. For instance, a specific planetary position, such as Saturn in the ninth sector, will not manifest identically or produce the same effects across all charts in which it appears. Instead, its expression is necessarily contingent upon the composition of the entire schema, much like how a single disease manifests with unique specificity in different patients. This perspective necessitates a composite analysis or synthetic methodology capable of generating what may be termed configurational or astrographical sequencing. This concept not only captures the holistic spirit of classical interpretive texts—such as Jean-Baptiste Morin’s Astrologia Gallica (1661)—but also provides a framework for establishing specific distinctions between ostensibly similar configurations (e.g., those separated by short temporal intervals). To refine this sequencing approach, we discern between heterogeneous and homogeneous sectors (types 1-6) and propose a two-stage process for delineation: microsynthesis (analysis relative to a specific sector) and macrosynthesis (integration of all twelve microsyntheses relative to the entire schema).
