The Lot of Basis remains obscure to modern astrologers, largely due to the lack of exposition handed down to us from Antiquity.

Utilising the Lunar Cycle as our guide, we chart the relationships between Sun, Moon and the Egyptian Lots: Fortune, Daimon, Eros and Ananke, in order to identify the Lot of Basis.

Having laid this foundation, we move on to explore the implication these patterns might have for us in electional astrology and katarchic ritual, and experiment with the possibilities of combining these Egyptian Lots with their better known counterparts, the Hermetic Lots.
