All I do know how to find lots and I am aware of the different lots for both diurnal and nocturnal charts. Tho, I have not found
any good info on how to interpret them. I do know that we should only interpret lots when interpreting a house that has a Show more
related theme, but how exactly? For example what does the lot of Eros shows that 7th house and Venus don't? What the
lot of substance shows that the 2nd house and the 2nd House Ruler don't? Do you find the lots useful? 1.3M 16 Top 1%

In Chris Brennan’s book “Hellenistic Astrology” he describes their use to be like this: they imbue extra significations Chart Readings Here
to the house and sign they fall in. for example, having the lot of children in the 9th house would give the ninth house
the meaning related to conception and progeny (as opposed to where we’d normally look, the fifth).
CURRENT TRANSITS
i think most importantly, using a lot narrows down significations. if you’re interested in marriage, you could look at
venus and the seventh house/its ruler. both venus and the seventh house cover other things though, whereas the Mars Retrograde Infographic:
lot of marriage is only about marriage. using a lot isolates a particular signification. https://www.reddit.com/r/astrology/comme
nts/yhoqh9/mars_retrograde_infographic_8_
that being said they aren’t all that commonly used, so your mileage may vary with them. you can look at the nature
to_25_degrees_in/
of the sign they’re in, whether they’re being maltreated, what house they’re in and their dispositor for extra info
about whatever topic you’re looking into. Mercury Retrograde Infographic:

Nah, it’s a niche technique with probably 10 practicing astrologers that are experts, and a handful of comments section. In other words, no
professionals maybe learning / novice. There’s a similar Vedic technique that’s better known, same w/ personal content should exist in the
firdaria (which is less complex b/c it only has 2 levels - based on planets, not signs). OP.

what does the lot of Eros shows that 7th house and Venus don’t
It’s not that lots show you something new, it’s that they give you more information to consider before judgement. If
you’re looking at relationships in the chart and whatever is indicated by Venus conflicts with whatever is indicated
by the 7H, using the Lot of Eros can act as a good tie breaker. It also helps to fortify whatever is indicated by
Venus/the 7H if they’re both showing the same thing.
