David Bustamante S. (M.A.)
How many people “are” Aries or Virgo or have brown eyes? In the context of popular astrology, inquiries regarding one’s zodiac sign refer solely to the Sun’s ecliptic position at the moment of birth, often simplified to the calendar day without considering crucial coordinates such as time or geographical location. However, the Sun-sign constitutes only a minuscule component of a comprehensive astrological assessment, known technically as an astrograph (or natal chart). A complete analysis necessitates the evaluation of ten celestial bodies, their placement within specific sectors of the sky (equal divisions of the ecliptic, distinct from the astronomical constellations), their distribution across the local horizon regions (houses or hourlines), and the five primary aspectual relationships (angles formed between the bodies). This intricate interplay yields a potential combination exceeding 7,200 unique permutations. It is through this rigorous, multi-factor analysis that serious astrology distinguishes itself from “horoscopes,” the latter lacking the necessary foundational complexity for scientific inquiry.
I am often known simply as Sagittarius, a Hispanic-American legal translator, educator, and independent researcher of topocentric astronomy with two decades of experience. I am recognised, mainly, for my advocacy of pedagogy upon the principles of procedure of interpretation and house theory (coordinate systems). My published work has appeared in respected platforms, including The Mountain Astrologer (United States), SPICA (Journal of the Spanish Astrology Society), and GeA (Argentina).
The majority of my professional time is dedicated to research and publication across multiple disciplines, which include the instruction of legal language, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy of language. Academically, I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in journalism, am a Cambridge-certified English teacher, and possess expertise in English and Spanish legal language. I am also a member of the American Translators Association (ATA).

Professional Opinion
Comentarios sobre el trabajo de SAGITTARIUS por parte de otros profesionales de la disciplina.
Juan Estadella
Spanish researcher and astrologer
Barcelona, Spain
“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.”
