First of all, we should know what we are dealing with. For the beginner, it is a matter of correlation between the configurations of the bodies of the Solar System and the human affairs. It is advisable to begin with the Sun, Moon, and eight planets, as they are observed from the Earth.

The geocentric reference frame is essential just because we deal with the affairs taking place on Earth, and not somewhere else. On the next step, if we include the four Galilean satellites of Jupiter, Titan of Saturn, and Triton of Neptune to our list, the results become much revealing. On the third step, it will be wise if we consider the positions of some objects, which appear beyond the Solar System, such as stars. Selecting those, which are placed on the top of a list created by considering two parameters such as apparent magnitude and ecliptic latitude, will make our job much more easier. Also, it is good to stay away from any fanciful material, which has no astronomical basis, such as hypothetical bodies or some fabricated obscurities, particularly by Hindus.

The clue to promising success is in the spherical evaluation of these objects all together. If you want to hear the magnificence of the 9th symphony, you cannot reach to it by selecting only the accompaniment of one soprano and two instruments from the orchestra. Therefore, always all together. Again, you cannot get the desired appropriate vibration but a scrape, if you stick all members of the orchestra into a dining room. Therefore, you must consider the space.

The next clue for more success is to include the time, i.e. the motion, in a proper way. But, in the beginning, we must limit our boundaries with the linear definition of time, if we do not want to get lost.

Since it is based on correlations, you may choose any set of subjects or events for searching, provided that you are capable to understand the nature of it. Therefore, besides a good management of Astrology, it requires knowledge in that particular branch, where the mechanism of selected set is defined. For instance, you may not talk about amenorrhea if you are not a gynecologist, and subsequently, you cannot determine the parameters in this research project, because the symptoms will become totally a mystery for you. Again, if you are too naive to understand the backstage of world affairs, your education of economics or political sciences does not mean something.

Mathematics is the essential tool here. Computer programming languages are the second within the essentials. Good theories to define the celestial mechanics are coming as the third, in this sequence. You cannot describe properly what you want to do, if you are not familiar with mathematics. Again, you cannot construct the way in your research if you do not have a multipurpose calculator. Finally, if the parameters you are using are not precise, your research becomes nothing but a waste of time. We believe that we are equipped with the best tools available today.

In regard to the tools within Astrology, such as "houses" of traditionalists, understanding the celestial mechanics is also very important. Apart from its absurdness, the theories on which the "houses" are based, lack mostly a good definition in terms of celestial mechanics. You may have a Pluto, for example, in fact about to set at that moment, but shown in the sixth house of that flat chart. Or an exact culminating body may appear in the ninth. Again, most astrologers use the term "orb" without giving a clear definition of it. Therefore, it is necessary to be equipped with reliable tools, and we did so.
