Overview

A source-led guide to historical schools, dignity tables, sect, dispositors, lots, solar condition, coordinates, fixed stars, and time-lord systems without merging incompatible rules. The page separates calculation from interpretation and keeps this worked result conditional: sect is diurnal and Mars is in exaltation; those two conditions remain separate entries in the receipt. Verification follows this declared method: Choose an author, edition, translation, table, and calculation convention before applying a method, then publish inputs, steps, variants, and non-fated limits.

Definition and exact scope

a source-led guide to historical schools, dignity tables, sect, dispositors, lots, solar condition, coordinates, fixed stars, and time-lord systems without merging incompatible rules

Calculation or decision rule

choose an author, edition, translation, table, and calculation convention before applying a method, then publish inputs, steps, variants, and non-fated limits

Worked case and illustrative near miss

day chart; ☉ above the horizon; ♂ 18°♑; Egyptian bounds and traditional rulerships declared. sect is diurnal and Mars is in exaltation; those two conditions remain separate entries in the receipt.

Illustrative near miss: Combining a modern ruler, an Egyptian bound, and a different author’s dignity score without naming the mixed tables.

School and variant boundary

Tables and procedures differ by author, era, translation, and sect; the selected authority must remain visible.

Product, safety, and verification boundary

OpenFate can connect Traditional Astrology and Advanced Techniques to the natal chart and reading flow where supported; the connection supplies evidence, not a guaranteed life result. Verification retains failed measurements and uncertainty, then revises interpretation rather than the receipt. Traditional Astrology and Advanced Techniques cannot diagnose a person, remove consent, or guarantee an event.
