Subsequent authors refer to this model as “Significators of the Soul” or “Manners”.

Ptolemy introduces this model in Tetrabiblos III.13 “Of the Quality of the Soul”. Configuration of the Moon and Mercury, with special emphasis given to their rulers, is a second method for analyzing the soul.

Aristotle‟s model of vegetative, sensitive, and intellective soul levels assigned respectively to the plant, animal, and human kingdoms was taken up by Ptolemy who found a correspondence between the sensitive and intellective soul and Moon and Mercury in the natal horoscope. Plato was not alone among Greek philosophers in conceiving models for the soul. For a discussion of these two models, see the companion paper Victor of the Chart: Testing Methods of Antiochus/Porphyry and Ibn Ezra which serves as a key to what is presented here. The method of Antiochus/Porphyry is compared to a later method for determining the victor suggested by the Jewish Rabbi Abraham ben Meir Ibn Izra who was an active philosopher and astrologer in the 12 th century. Porphyry and his peer Antiochus offer specific rules for determining the victor of the chart. Plato explains the details of his soul model in The Myth of Er found in the closing pages of his work The Republic. According to Plato‟s follower Porphyry, by configuration in the natal horoscope the planet signifying the victor of the chart shows the life choice made by the soul prior to incarnation. Included are two competing models for computing the victor of the chart said to be the single most powerful planet in the horoscope. This paper presents one of forty horoscopes chosen to populate an initial data set to investigate the victor. Prior research has presented models and results for longevity (A Rectification Manual: The American Presidency, Chapter 4) and physiognomy (Astrological Physiognomy: History and Sources & Astrological Physiognomy: Empirical Tests of the Leo Rising Decan). They include longevity (vitality and length of life), physiognomy (form and shape of the face and body), victor of the chart (overall life purpose), manners (social conduct including ethical behavior), and temperament (elemental mix of fire, earth, air, and water with applications in medical astrology). Between the Hellenistic and Medieval eras several specialized models have been developed to assess these characteristics. Within natal astrology, the 1 st house occupying the eastern horizon at birth describes the native: physical vitality, appearance, and character. The discipline of natal astrology focuses on the fate of an individual based on a horoscope cast for the moment of birth. The following document is a hand-written analysis of Truman Capote made using the principles of medieval predictive astrology.
