Collection of Light
|
|
Collection of light is the means of perfection in horary astrology by which a third, slower planet receives applying aspects from two significators that cannot reach each other, gathering both and bringing the matter to completion through an intermediary. Bonatti transmitted the Arabic name Algemei for it, and Lilly catalogued the same mechanism four centuries later among four ways a horary question could perfect.

This Egyptian tool is 100X better than your birth chart
Most people read their horoscope daily.
Some even study their birth chart.
Ancient Egyptian priests figured it out 5,000 years ago:
There's a frequency that awakens your cosmic DNA instantly.
This secret has been hidden in temple vaults for millennia.
I found it buried in an Egyptian cave…
But you can access it with a single click.

Collection of light is the term the horary tradition used for a brokered outcome, one that required a third planet slower and weightier than the two that could not reach each other. Tonight the Moon is at eleven degrees of Aquarius, peregrine, waxing gibbous at sixty three percent. Lilly catalogued four means by which a horary question could reach completion in his Christian Astrology of 1647, and collection was among them. It applied when neither significator could reach the other directly, and both applied instead to a third body heavy enough to gather them.

Bonatti, writing in thirteenth century Italy, had listed the same mechanism centuries earlier and transmitted the Arabic name for it: Algemei. Lilly differed from Bonatti in requiring that the significators receive the collecting planet, not merely aspect it. The distinction from translation of light was precise. Translation carries virtue from one planet to another through a fast intermediary. Collection works the opposite way: a slow planet, outweighing both parties, draws two separate applications into itself and closes the matter by its own weight.

She entered Aquarius at 01:40 UTC today after a void of about nine hours in Capricorn. She is slow in course, covering less than her average daily motion, and clear of the Sun’s beams at a hundred and five degrees. In the horary material the Moon served as natural co-significator for the querent, and a waxing phase with freedom from combustion counted in her favor. But peregrine, she has no authority of her own in this sign. Aquarius is Saturn’s domicile. The old writers described a peregrine planet as a stranger in a place where it holds no rank, and a stranger, by definition, brokers nothing.
