The newspaper horoscope is not «astrology»
SAGITTARIUS
«That which is delivered vulgarized to the masses deserves any name but astrology.» Dr. Weiss (1888-1956)
David Bustamante S. (M.A.)
How many people “are” Aries or Virgo or have brown eyes? Would we describe them all the same? When we are asked about “our” Zodiac sign, we are asked about the position of only the Sun during the epoch of birth (not even the day, much less coordinates such as time or place). The Sun sign constitutes a minuscule part of our astrological birth chart (truly an astrography), for in it we assess ten celestial bodies, twelve signs (not constellations), twelve regions (of the local horizon), and five aspectual relationships, which, so far, represents more than 7,200 possible combinations. Only in this way could astrology be separated from horoscopism, which does not — simply because it cannot — bear any scientific basis.
David E. Bustamante, better known as SAGITTARIUS, is a Hispanic-American legal translator and educator in his second decade of practicing astrology in the state of Texas. He is an internationally recognised writer on the rules of astrological interpretation and the major time-oriented methods of house division, and has been published in this context by The Mountain Astrologer (United States), SPICA (Journal of the Spanish Society of Astrology), Revista Stellium, and GeA (Argentina), among other platforms. He is the author of «Commentary on astrology according to epigenetics» (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.8210413) and «Time Dilation according to Tropical Astrology and Why the Placidus Measurement of Astrographic Regions is Compatible with Relativity Theory» (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.13841957).
David began his astrological activities as a teenager (self-taught) and today dedicates most of his time to research and publishing in multiple fields, including legal language education and philosophy of both science and language. He holds a BA in Psychology, MA in Journalism, is a Cambridge-certified English teacher, and an English and Spanish legal language expert, member of the American Translators Association (ATA).

Juan Estadella
Spanish researcher and astrologer

“Bustamante’s research follows this path, undertaken in the last century by a few astrological scholars. We urgently need research with a similar profile. […] In the face of a publishing production full of manuals with useless astrological recipes that hardly contribute anything to this knowledge, the present study successfully distances itself from this uniform and gray bibliographical reality. […] Bustamante’s work constitutes a valuable contribution to our collective, another golden stone in the construction of the astrological pyramid. It is to be hoped that it will receive the welcome it deserves and that its author will continue to offer this discipline his efforts and research talent, for the good of astrology itself”.
Excerpt from the Foreword of ASTROGENESIS, future publication of Sagittarius.

“Bustamante’s work is characterized by an in-depth analytical production that cannot be found in any other work of the present nor of the past (excepting, perhaps, Morin) and that evokes the spirit of science. It shows, moreover, the commitment of its author to the craft, which automatically implies combating its distortion and dishonest profit.”

“David never quenches his thirst and is always ready to debate, providing his opinion with criteria and intelligence. He is a skeptic who investigates everything and questions even his own ideas, someone who is clear that what he knows is a drop of water in the ocean, which is why he is able to continue to grow uninterruptedly, while contributing.”
