Telepathy

 Transmission of thoughts between two minds that are assumed attuned or affinity, without the need of any traditional forms of communication via conventional sensory pathways. An emphasis on Neptune is said to provide high sensitivity to psychic transmissions. This might happen up close or across a vast distance.

Telescope

 An optical device that aids the eye or camera in viewing or shooting faraway things by magnifying celestial bodies and focusing a wider beam of light to sharpen the image. It appears that the Greeks and Romans were aware of it, based on several ancient allusions. There is evidence in the Pyramid that the Egyptians had a type of reflecting telescope at one time. In 1608, the first refracting telescopes were produced in Holland. Galileo created one for himself after hearing about them and began his tests in 1620. In 1663, James Gregory of Edinborough created the first known reflecting telescope.

Temporal Houses

 Houses

Terminal Houses

The Signs of the Watery Triplicity correlate to the 4th, 8th, and 12th Houses (q.v.). They are so named because they oversee the endings of three occult or mysterious periods of life: the 4th, the physical man's death; the 8th, the soul's release; and the 12th, the native's secret expectations.

Terms of the planets

 The planetary Terms are a system of subrulerships of sections of a Sign by various planets, in which the nature of a planet placed in a Sign is changed to that of the planet in whose term it is placed. These subdivisions, which are exclusively pertinent to the interpretation of a Horary Figure, are usually ignored by moderns, who believe they were invented by the Egyptians to account for phenomena now attributed to the influences of previously undiscovered planets. Others who claim to utilize them in Horary Astrology claim that they produce outstanding results.

Testimony

 A partial judgement based on a planet's influence as conditioned by Sign and House, strength of position and aspects, or a particular arrangement of planets in a Figure. A judgement is made up of the sum of multiple witnesses. Ptolemy used a phrase that is nearly synonymous with Argument.

Tetrabiblios

 There are four novels in all. The oldest document of the ancients' astrological system that has survived. It was made between 132 and 160 A.D. It was collected from "ancient" sources, according to the author, Claudius Ptolemy, the famous Egyptian mathematician. Ptolemaic Astrology is a kind of astrology that dates back to the time of Ptolemy.

Tetractys - ten symbolic dots

 Pythagoras proposed this idea, claiming that our Solar System contains 10 bodies. Only seven such bodies were known to the ancients, but contemporary astronomers have found the other three: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are Pythagoras' emblem was made up of 10 dots placed in a triangle pattern, as seen. Many rectangles and triangles were produced by joining the dots in various ways, all of which are intimately related with the Pythagorean mathematical system, through which he describes his notion of the realities of the cosmos. This might explain why the pyramid's top is absent in the United States' great seal, which is printed on certain paper money.

Tetragon

 a. Syn. of quartile, or a square aspect. v. Aspect.

Thema Coeli

 The figure of the heavens. v. Figure.

Throne

 When a planet is in the Sign of which it is the Ruler, some astrologers use exaggeration rather than consistency and clarity to characterize it as being on its throne. It was once used to a planet positioned in the part of a Sign where it possessed more than one Dignity, in a more ancient and rational meaning.

Time

Time measurement is inextricably linked to issues of location and a reference point. Because of the widespread failure on the part of those who record the moment of an event to qualify it by stating in what manner of time it is noted: whether apparent solar time, as shown on a sundial; mean time, as shown on a clock; or universal time, as shown on a clock, one of the most difficult problems with which the astrologer deals is establishing the actual moment of an occurrence and stating it in terms of Universal Time.

Transit

 The transit of a planet through the significator, moderator, or planet, or any point where it creates an aspect to them, whether in a radix, progression, Solar Revolution, or Horary Figure. The current year's ephemeris is used to calculate transits. The transit of benefic planets above, or in aspect to, the radical and advanced locations of the various Significators is generally advantageous; the passage of malefic planets is bad.

Transit of a planet across the Sun

 Only when the Sun is within 1° 45' of the Node and the Earth is travelling through the Node may Venus transit the Sun. These occur in pairs, with the most recent two occurring in 1874 and 1882. The dates for the next occurrences are June 8, 2004, and June 6, 2012. Mercury transits are becoming increasingly common.

Transitor

 A slow-moving major planet makes a lingering aspect to a natal planet, which is subsequently triggered by an extra aspect from a Culminator, a faster-moving body like the Sun or Moon, to the same or another planet, triggering the externalisation.

Translation of Light

 The transfer of influence that happens when a transiting planet, while separating from an aspect to one planet, is discovered to be applying to an aspect to another, in which case some of the first aspected planet's influence is transferred to the second aspected planet through light translation. Consider a Horary Figure in which Jupiter and Saturn, the Significators of the parties to a contract discussion, are not in aspect to each other, but Venus, although separating from Jupiter, is applying to a Saturn aspect. There is a convincing evidence that Venus indicates a person or an idea who will bring about a settlement when light is translated from Jupiter to Saturn. The type of the aspect, as well as the aspecting and aspected planets via which the translation occurs, decides whether the result is fortunate.

Transmutation

 The beneficial use of an astrological influence that might otherwise have a harmful and disruptive effect by a controlled and developed character. It's a concept derived from alchemists who attempted to transform base metals into gold, and it refers to a spiritual alchemy process in which a base feeling is committed to a noble aim.

Trigon

  A term applied to the three signs of the same triplicity.

Trigonocrators

 Astrological Rulers of Trigons

Trimorion

 In Mundo, an aspect that encompasses three Houses, resulting in a Mundane square, but which in certain cases may stretch to as much as 120°; consequently, in Primary Directions, it was frequently referred to as the killing arc, as 120 years were seen as the natural limit of life.
