This lecture by Robert Hand covers the concepts of sect, dignities, rulership and the fundamentals of western classical astrology. The lecture is somewhat dated, taking place in 1996, when Project Hindsight was still relatively early in its progress toward translating ancient astrological texts. Nonetheless, it’s a rich source of information for both novice and more advanced students of astrology. And you can’t beat the price!
