The Recursive Astrology · genealogy

The history of astrology, as a lineage

The historiographical eras, oldest at the top, read as a family tree rather than a list — where one stance grows out of another, where it forks, and where a later voice answers or breaks from what came before. Every node's name, dates, and description come straight from this repo's own historiographies-of-astrology grammar; only the lines connecting them are this page's own claim about lineage. Tap any era to read more, or open it as a grammar where one exists in this repo. See also Lenses for the same planet read across traditions, or all grammars for the full library.

How this reads. The eras and their descriptions are read live from grammars/historiographies-of-astrology/grammar.json — add or edit a view-* item there and it appears here automatically, no code change needed. The parent→child lines are a small hardcoded EDGES list in this page, because lineage is this page's own honest simplification of a five-thousand-year practice, not a fact stored in the grammar itself. Some eras here also have a full grammar in this repo you can open — Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, Alan Leo, Proctor's skeptical astrology, and the canonical Western interpretation set — look for their Cards / Study / Tree links on the matching node.
