Henry Dover answers:

Anthony Louis, the pen name used by Dr. Anthony Louis Labruzza, is a psychiatrist who has practiced astrology as an avocation for over 30 years. He’s written good beginner’s books on horary and tarot. Using his real name, Labruzza, he translated volume 18 of French astrologer Jean Baptiste Morin’s Astrologia Gallica, a 26 volume tome first published in Latin in 1661, 5 years after Morin’s death.

His interest in Morin or Morinus as he preferred to be called, led him to study book 23 (translated by James Holden) on Revolutions, the old name for solar returns. From book 23 he became intrigued by another more contemporary astrologer (20th century) named Alexandre Volguine (1903 – 76). Volguine published a book on solar returns and incorporated a lot of Morin’s ideas into his work. Louis’ book on solar returns spends a lot of time on Volguine, but references Morin often as well.

Louis’ book is accurate and informative. It should be read on its own merits, not as a commentary on Morin. Morin’s volume 23 (published by AFA) is outstanding, but if the reader is not familiar with Morin and his methods, it will leave him scratching his head. Morin is not easy reading. It isn’t that the subject matter is so difficult, but rather his style, considered scholarly in the 17th century, is tedious when read in contemporary English. The astrology, however is among the best ever written. Start with Louis.

Henry Dover answers:

Progressing the angles is done by using the S.T. At GMT and determining the difference between the date of the S.R. And the date you are looking at. Add the S.T. At GMT for the date you are looking at for the RAMC for the solar return, and you will get your angles. Use your Table of Houses and latitude to determine the Ascendant.
The Ascendant will not progress at the same rate as the MC if you are using the Placidean house system (which we mostly do).

Why has the economy not been stable? My local astrological organization devoted a lecture to that about 4 years ago … I did not memorize down the astrological factors, but noted the consensus that the economy would not recover until around 2020, and when it became normal again it would be a different “normal” from what it had previously been.

Noel Tyl is an excellent astrologer. I was already studying it when he started publishing, but he rounded out my knowledge nicely.

My mother had already been using Solar Arc Progressions for 20 years when Noel came on the scene. She swore by Solar Arc. And I spent 5 years giving free readings to people who would give me feedback … And found that the Solar Arc had much greater predictive value than major transits, which (in turn) had greater predictive value than Secondary Progressions. Solar and lunar returns came in a far last in terms of correlation with actual events in people’s lives … Fairly useless.

Henry Dover answers:

A typical US home will need a 3KW system, if the home is connected to the grid you can install a smaller system that will offset only part of your consumption. For DIY (buy the kit and install it yourself) you may assume $5 per watt ($15,000 for a 3 KW system), but you can claim 30% as a federal tax credit and depending on where you live, many states grant tax credits or other incentives

Henry Dover answers:

Prices vary!

Also, different families require a different amount of solar energy. So, the cost will change depending on who is using this solar energy.

Henry Dover answers:

The DSIRE website lists all federal, state, utility, regional, etc incentives available. Http://www.dsireusa.org/. The feds offer a 30% tax credit, but depending on where you live, you may get more.

This site does a good job figuring out the size of the system, the rebates, and the payback. Http://www.altestore.com/howto/Tools-Calculators-Reference/Solar-Payback-Incentive-Calculator/a65/.

Also consider solar water heating, it qualifies for the rebates, and has a much better bang for the buck than solar electric.

Henry Dover answers:

That has a lot of variables certainly though you would expect compensation in the form of savings from your insulating and glazing much sooner than the exorbitant costs of solar and wind.

Each house or location has to be evaluated as to expected energy consumption, Amount of solar or wind energy expected.
Sites like I source can give you an idea of the proccess needed.

Henry Dover answers:

This is a very subjective question that varys with individual needs and locations.

Initially solar power is more expensive to setup. But, it pays for itself over time. Also you may be eligible for state & federal gov grants & tax credits.

As for each month, it’s entirely possible depending on where you live & your energy needs you could be “off the grid”. You even could be sending energy to your local power company & getting $ for it.
