Each tradition.
Its own vocabulary.
Historical approaches, calendrical systems and chart calculations have separate entries. The complete glossary keeps their names and definitions available.

A PLURAL APPROACH
Traditions in context.
Compare sources, language and practice while retaining the distinctions between traditions. No religious affiliation is required to explore the material.
FIELD NOTES
Room for doubt.
Record the chart or observation before its interpretation. Astrology is approached here as a cultural and symbolic practice, rather than an established scientific forecasting method.
