In ancient Egyptian astrology, the chart of an individual’s conception was one of the first things cast by an astrologer. Drawing upon intensive research into surviving fragments from the Egyptian astrologer Nechepso (~6th century BC), Cameron Cassidy will be presenting for the first time his work on how to practically adapt these long-lost Egyptian techniques to the evolving practice of astrology in the 21st century.
It is important to place our revival of the Egyptian conception chart within its historical context. Before precise birth records, the ancients used astrolabes, sundials, and water clocks to determine birth times. When those data points were unavailable, they reconstructed a conception chart to estimate the rising degree at birth, following the “hermetic balance” technique. In this way, the Egyptian conception chart can offer another resource to the working astrologer when there is imperfect birth data for a client. Thus, this lecture will be simultaneously one on conception charts and their power in rectification.
Drawing on the mystical principles of ancient Egyptian astrology, we will explore this long-lost form of prenatal astrology. In this talk, Cameron will examine some case studies in which individuals learned from their parents about the timing of their conception. We will then explore the techniques for comparing the natal chart to the conception chart, as well as other insights from the conception chart itself. For individuals in which there is not clarity about the moment of conception, Nechepso offers a formula for how to derive the conception chart from an accurate birth time.
