Luke D. Broughton, The Elements of Astrology

Luke D. Broughton, The Elements of Astrology is an astrological source represented here through cited material on aspects, bounded matrix, planetary hours, angles, and annual revolutions.

The cited material covers aspects, bounded matrix, planetary hours, angles, and annual revolutions.

The election section treats a planetary hour as a coarse first filter and a full election chart as the more exact method, then gives a bounded topic sequence for buildings, property, removal, business, marriage, introductions, journeys, navigation, debts, friendship, servants, contests, and lawsuits; topic rules are not expanded individually.

Broughton supplies a complete twelve-by-twelve house-lord placement matrix and then directs the reader to reuse the same lord-and-house relationships when judging natal placements, directions, transits, and annual revolutionary figures; the matrix is one family rather than 144 outcome pages.

A planetary hour is defined by dividing sunrise-to-sunset and sunset-to-sunrise separately into twelve equal seasonal hours, assigning the first daylight hour to the weekday ruler and continuing in planetary order; the long perpetual tables and equation-of-time corrections are one calculation aid, not thousands of independent interpretive facts.

This overview is limited to the cited portions. It does not stand in for the complete work, reproduce source passages, or make every documented technique a universal chart interpretation.
