Cacodæmon (Kakodæmon; Kakodemon)
Sometimes depicted as a flaming serpent, the Cacodæmon was a malevolent shape-shifting demon, as opposed to the Agathodæmon, a loving spirit or guardian dragon, the divine logos. On the The
Demotic Magical Papyrus of London and Leiden, the incantation includes "Agathodæmon, the almighty four-faced dæmon, the highest darkling and soul-bearing Phox". Also the evil dæmon, the expression of malevolence and unhappiness; as opposed to the eudæmon, the guardian spirit or genius that brings the happy state of
flourishing, eudæmonia, recommended by Aristotle. The dæmons, good or bad, were held by the Greeks to be living beings of intermediate stature, occupying rungs between the divine gods and mortal men. See Dæmon.
On another level, the personal Kakodæmon is born from the rejected potentials and energies of an individual's soul. This "Evil Dæmon" can be made an ally through increased consciousness and has energy that may
be harnessed to work for one's higher purposes. It holds great power, which may be reclaimed, for by reclaiming the lost parts of our souls, we become more complete. "For many centuries Western culture has rejected and denied the Evil Daimboth
individual and collective (for the collective consciousness of a culture, nation, or religion also creates its Kakos Daim this is the reason these destructive powers are rampaging ungoverned around our world. They cannot be banished; the only solution is a cooperative alliance in conformity with modern society and ethics." – John Opsopaus

Chakra (Cakra)
Hidden energy centres in the human body are also called chakras ("wheels"). These are part of the subtle energy system of the human aura described by yoga, tantra and mystic discourses of all cultures. Chakras are dynamic
consciousness-processing organs and can be activated through subtle techniques in tantra and the like. Each chakra has a particular vibration, mantra and associated gods or goddesses. Some astrologers assign planetary rulerships to them.

charts are held to show unusual sensitivity to transits, hence useful for the development of relationships between two people, or for a person and an event.

Astrologicum declares that the lighter planets must both also receive the heavier in "some of their Essential Dignities".
Anima Astrologiæ: "where the Moon is combust, that is to say under the Sun's Beams,
which is counted from 15 degrees of the body of the Sun as she applies to him to 12 degrees distance from him as she is separating from him; and the impediment is greater when she is going to the Sun than when she is going from him; because as she goes off, when she is got five degrees distant, she is said to be escaped, though not wholly freed. As when a fever hath left a man, he is said to be
recovered, although he be weak and faint, because he is secure now that he shall obtain his health again."

Commanding Signs
"The signs in the summer semicircle are
commanding; those in the winter semicircle, obeying: for when the Sun is present in the former, he makes the day longer than the night; and when in the latter, he produces the contrary effect." This factor would presumably be reversed if viewed from the southern hemisphere.

Copernican System
Aristarchos of Samos (3rd Century BC), but
including Pythagoras (6th Century BC). Even earlier Indian Vedic texts, notably Yajnavalka's Satapatha Brahmana (8th Century BC) may have influenced him. Arabic and Persian mathematicians from around the 11th to the 14th Century AD, such as Albiruni, Avicenna and Bin Tusi most assuredly did influence him (as they too were attempting to improve on the
Greeks). His system eventually replaced the geocentric system formalised by Ptolemy in the 2nd Century AD, even though it was less accurate, at least until advances in planetary motion discovered by Kepler in the 17th Century. The influence of Aristotle was so
great that Copernicus felt compelled to retain the aristotelian idea of circular motion (as the most perfect form of motion) for the planets, which Kepler's discoveries disproved. Although Kepler was also a marvellous and dedicated astrologer, this marked the beginning of the current alienation of astrology from astronomy. Since astrology is primarily concerned with the effect the planetary
forces have upon the beings that inhabit the Earth, most astrologers still favour the geocentric system, at least for astrological calculations.

The opposite of Acronichal, this is one of the three Greek ideas of the rising and setting of stars: Acronichal, Cosmical and Heliacal, by which they measured the length of the year.
Timæus, the Cosmos is the world of becoming, the material world, as opposed to the eternal world of ideas, or forms, upon which it is modelled. He notes that everything in this world
"comes to be and passes away, but never really is". Able to be grasped by sense-perception and opinion, it is a created world, artfully crafted onto pre-existing, formless material (the elements, comprising atomic platonic solids in space) by the Demiurge, or creator. The Cosmos is a living being, subject to time and space, and of course, astrological considerations...
