X-File Cabinet
For those of you looking for articles about zodiacal releasing and not finding it, this is because we were calling it "zodiacal aphesis" during the years 1995 - 2005. Schmidt didn't settle on this translation convention until the early 2000's and by then several of us were used to the Greek term "aphesis" so if you're searching for it using Google, you should include the term "aphesis" to get more complete results. The phrase "zodiacal releasing" didn't really gain traction until after Schmidt completed a workshop on the subject in early 2007. I wrote a program called "Zodiacal Aphesis" (now renamed Zodiacal Releasing) in 1997 due to the fact that most astrology software companies were ignoring our requests from Project Hindsight to include these techniques.
