To: alt.lucky.w From: Christopher WarnockSubject: Re: hair Date: Thu, 06 Apr 2000 17:12:48 GMT Here is some traditional, i.e. pre-Enlightenment, electional astrology from William Ramesey's 1653 Astrologia Restaurata, for picking a time to cut hair. Containing the Rules of Election in the Cutting of Hair Always place the Moon in common [mutable] signs, well dignified, but especially in earthy signs...some say Virgo is not to be chosen; I conceive the reason was because it was a barren sign; therefore in the cutting of hair, that you would not have to grow suddenly, place the Moon in either Virgo, Gemini or Leo, decreasing in light and motion, and afflicted by Saturn. But if you desire your hair to grow speedily, let the ascendant be one of the fruitful signs; as also the Moon, viz. in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces; but let the Moon be increasing in light and motion, and let her be in Sextile or Trine of the Lord of the Ascendant or the party's Nativity, but have special regard the Moon be free from the malevolent impedition of Saturn or Mars for they will cause much scurff and dandriff at the roots of the hair. But if you desire it be thick, let the Moon be in Opposition of the Sun and the ascendant and the Moon free from aspects of the malevolents. Christopher Warnock catherine yronwode wrote: > John M.
