Naming
Names are very important, and for a knowledge base with the set goal of becoming a
viable codex on the topic of astrology, a name is very important, and perhaps the best place to
start.
When I think of the word Codex, I see monks in a monastery, quill, parchment, and ink.
The monks put their time, effort, souls into what they wrote down, all in hope to keep
knowledge alive and flowing. I have the desire for the same to go into this work, and from
that desire stems the name of the vault.
There is something special about pen and paper. Hand and desk. From your mind,
through your body, onto paper for others to read. Something special...something divine, I
dare say.
When I began taking notes for this vault, I started in a Staples Composition Book. My
imperfect self, when going to title the subject of the book, misspelled Arithmetic and left out
the m, writing instead Astrology Arith(m)etic. So formally, instead of trying to erase and
begin anew, I accepted the beauty of the flaw and since forth have been calling it Astrology
Arith(m)etic.
How to Use
This document, and the library in whole, is meant to portion the different parts of
astrology into manageable chunks that can fit in and out of an equation to render a discerned
conclusion based on given variables.
It presents the individual data bites as a complete whole that you place alongside other
individual complete wholes to derive an informed decision of the meaning and possible
energetic attributes.
For example, your astronomy calculator may tell you Jupiter is square Saturn. In turn,
you would pull three datasets from the catalog: Jupiter, Square, and Saturn. Each piece
contains needed information, and some unneeded ;), on a given variable. From reading what
each individual means or proposes, you can come to a reasonably informed derivative of how
the three relate together and even possibly in specific regards to yourself while, if offering
advice to another, it has a perspective and figure unique to you alone.
This Book is broken down into this beginning introductory segment, followed by the
“Building Blocks” (aka arithmetic) of astrology, finished up with some general housekeeping.
(That’s the plan though, we will see if it stays that way. I can’t speak for then, for it is only
ever now.)
