An interesting method from Chapter 26 of Agrippa's 3rd Book of Occult Philosophy:
The ancient Magicians did teach an art of finding out the name of a spirit to any desired effect, drawing it from the disposition of the heaven; as for example, any Celestiall Harmony being proposed to thee for the making an image or ring, or any other work to be done under a certain constellation; if thou will finde out the spirit that is the ruler of that work; the figure of the heaven being erected, cast forth letters in their number and order from the degree of the ascendent, according to the succession of signes through each degree by filling the whole circle of the heaven: then those letters which fall into the places of the Stars the aid whereof thou wouldest use, being according to the number, and powers of those Stars, marked without into number, and order, make the name of a good spirit: but if thou shalt do so from the beginning of a degree falling against the progresse of the signes, the resulting spirit shall be evil. By this art some of the Hebrew and Chaldean masters teach that the nature and name of any Genius may be found out.
As for example, the degree of the ascendent of any ones, nativity being known, and the other corners of the heaven being Coequated, then let that which had the more dignities of Planets in those four corners which the Arabians call Almutez, be first observed amongst the rest: and according to that in the second place, that which shall be next to it in the number of dignities, and so by order the rest of them, which obtain any dignity in the foresaid corners: this order being used, thou maist know the true place, & degree of them in the heaven, beginning from the degree of the ascendent through each degree according to the order of the signs to cast 22. of the letters of the Hebrews; Then what letters shall fall into the places of the aforesaid Stars, being marked, and disposed according to the order found out above in the Stars, & rightly joyned together according to the rules of the Hebrew tongue, make the name of a Genius: to which, according to the custome, some Monosyllable name of Divine omnipotency, viz. El, or Iah is subjoyned. But if the casting of the letters be made from an angle of the falling, and against the succession of signs, and the letters which shall fall in the Nadir (that is the opposite point) of the aforesaid Stars, be after that order as we said, joyned together, shall make the name of an evil Genius.
But the Chaldeans proceed another way; for they take not the Almutez of the corners, but the Almutez of the eleventh house, and do in all things as hath been said. Now they finde out an evil Genius from the Almutez of the angle of the twelfth house, which they call an evil spirit, casting from the degree of the falling against the progress of the signs. There are also the Arabians, and many others, and some Hebrews, who find out the name of a Genius by the places of the five Hylegians, and making projection always from the beginning of Aries, and the letters being found out according to the order of Hylegians with the Astrologers, being reduced into a known order, and being joyned together, make the name of a good Genius: but they draw the name of an evil Genius from the opposite Hylegian places, projection being made from the last degree of Pisces against the order of signs. But other some do not take the places of Hylegians, but the places of Almutez upon the five Hylegians making projection from an Horoscope, as abovesaid: and these names being thus distributed according to the proportioned numbers to the Starry account, compacted or joyned, and changed letters, although unknown in sound, and significative, we must of necessity confess may do more by the secret of the chiefest Philosophy in a magick work, then significative names, whilest the mind being astonished at the obscurity of them, and deeply intent, firmly believing that something Divine is under it, doth reverently pronounce these words, and names, although not understood, to the glory of God, captivating himself with a spirituall affection of piety, in the obedience of him.

I thought of a cool idea for a business that I'm currently calling Astrosync.
Where people get matched up via synastry.. based on birth chart compatibility..
All the planets in their houses including the moon sign which is dependant on the time of birth..
3 synastry modes.. 3 potential matches..
Bussiness, Friendship. And romance..
Have the synastry rate their compatibility via a point system..
Could be a cool app..

Very cool. I met my closest friend on an astrology app and it was based off of our synastry

-Notable differences between jyotish and western astrology.
Jyotish, also known as Vedic astrology, and Western astrology are two distinct systems of astrology with notable differences in their approaches and techniques. Here are some of the key differences:
Zodiac: Jyotish uses a sidereal zodiac based on the fixed stars, whereas Western astrology uses a tropical zodiac based on the position of the Sun at the vernal equinox.
Houses: Jyotish uses whole sign houses, where each house covers a complete sign, whereas Western astrology uses a system of 12 equal houses.
Planetary rulership: Jyotish assigns rulership of signs to certain planets based on their natural significations, whereas Western astrology assigns rulership based on historical associations.
Nakshatras: Jyotish uses 27 lunar mansions called nakshatras, each associated with a particular energy and deity, whereas Western astrology does not incorporate nakshatras.
Dashas: Jyotish employs a system of planetary periods called dashas, which indicate the timing of events and the effects of different planets in the individual's life, whereas Western astrology does not have an equivalent system.
Predictive techniques: Jyotish uses a variety of predictive techniques, such as transits, planetary aspects, and yogas, to interpret and forecast future events, whereas Western astrology emphasizes transits and aspects.
Cultural context: Jyotish is deeply rooted in Indian culture, religion, and philosophy, whereas Western astrology has its roots in ancient Greek and Roman mythology and philosophy.
Overall, while both systems of astrology share some similarities, they differ significantly in their underlying principles, techniques, and cultural contexts.

I liked this from The Secret Doctrine.
Quote:
Mercury is, as an astrological planet, still more occult and mysterious than Venus. It is identical with the Mazdean Mithra, the genius, or god, “ established between the Sun and the Moon, the perpetual com- panion of ‘ Sun ’ of Wisdom.” Pausanias shows him as having an altar in common with Jupiter (Book V). He had wings to express his atten- dance upon the Sun in its course ; and he was called the Nuntis, or Sun- wolf, “ solaris luminis particeps.” He was the leader of and the evocator of Souls, the “ great Magician ” and the Hierophant. Virgil depicts him as taking “ his wand to evoke from Orcus the souls plunged therein ”—tum virgam capit, hac animas ille evocat Orco. (See also the 21st Fargard of the Vendidad on the celestial militia.) He is the golden- coloured Mercury, the χρυσοφαὴς ̔Ερμῆς whom the Hierophants forbade to name. He is symbolised in Grecian mythology by one of the dogs (vigilance), which watch over the celestial flock (occult wisdom), or Hermes Anubis, or again Agathodæmon. He is the Argus watching over the Earth, and which the latter mistakes for the Sun itself. It is through the intercession of Mercury that the Emperor Julian prayed to the Occult Sun every night ; for, as says Vossius : “ All the theologians agree to say that Mercury and the Sun are one. . . . He was the most eloquent and the most wise of all the gods, which is not to be wondered at, since Mercury is in such close proximity to the Wisdom and the Word of God (the Sun) that he was confused with both.” (Idolatry, Vol. II., p. 373.) Vossius utters here a greater occult truth than he suspected. The Hermes-Sarameyas of the Greeks is closely related to the Hindu Saram and Sarameya, the divine watchman, “ who watches over the golden flock of stars and solar rays.”

Have had success using Carmen Astrologicum by Dorotheus of Sidon
If you follow his calculations you can get a lot out of a chart.
