Cristian Tolsa, The Orphic Astrologer Critodemus

Cristian Tolsa, The Orphic Astrologer Critodemus is an astrological source represented here through cited material on distributions, chronocrators, aphesis, ascendant, and ascensional times.

The cited material covers distributions, chronocrators, aphesis, ascendant, and ascensional times.

The distribution interpretations combine the nature of the general ruler with that of the subruler: sometimes their qualities are blended, and sometimes one planet's quality acts in the topic field signified by the other; the natal configuration remains a condition on the result.

The two life tables are organized as thirty degree pages by twelve sign blocks and combine a broken numerical sequence with latitude-dependent time values; Tolsa notes an eight-degree equinox norm, distinguishes the two tables, and warns that the intercolumn bound system was added after Critodemus but before or during the Valens transmission.

Tolsa reconstructs a two-level distribution sequence in which every general ruler holds 129 months, distributes subperiods whose traditional month values sum to the same duration, begins from the Sun by day or Moon by night, and continues through the natal zodiacal order of the stars.
