I would recommend doing that. I think that you can order reprints of Schmidt’s translation of Valens through the Project Hindsight website. I would recommend doing that.

He put Mercury in Aquarius, although, as you noticed, it switches to Capricorn using the tropical zodiac. I found it interesting to see the sidereal zodiac move the planets forward as well. We are under the assumption that this is his chart, and it was identified as such by Pingree, the critical editor of the Anthology. I don't think that there are any explicit statements where Valens actually says it is his though. At one point he does seem to say that he may have had to rectify his chart because the time that his parents recorded was faulty or something.

How come. Did he use those positions? This one's interesting in tropical with the mutual reception of Merc and Saturn in the 5th and 10th whole signs. Btw, it's cool to see a chart where switching to sidereal (I'm using Lahiri) moves the planets <i>forward</i>. I'm not used to that. Btw, he has kind of a strange chart; not one that I would've thought would be such a pivotal figure. I've seen a lot of powerful metaphysicians or astrologers with Mercury-Ketu though. I would have to guess that this the birth time he used for himself? Are you using a sidereal zodiac for his chart here? How come. Did he use those positions?
