The linked transcription includes a 1659 title page despite its file name.
Chapter pagination, not PDF page numbering, is used throughout.

H01: Use seven traditional bodies, tropical longitude, Regiomontanus,
Lilly moieties and forward five-degree house attribution. Current applying
planetary contact must have a matching measured future exact event. Intervening
contact, station or ingress requests review. No self-aspect or self-reception.

H02: Reception requires domicile, exaltation, triplicity or term; face alone is
insufficient. The p.125 transfer qualifier specifically uses domicile, triplicity
or term (not exaltation). A one-way reception is sufficient for the union square.
Own dignity is a different predicate and may include face.

H03: Dignities/reception in this editorial profile use the question instant and
its measured day/night sect, including the transfer qualifier. This explicit
anchor-epoch simplification is NOT evidence of historical reception. Historical
reception and unavailable historical sect remain visible in the source edition.

H04: The named not-impedited predicate requires direct motion and absence of
combustion: solar separation strictly between 17 arcminutes and 8.5 degrees is
combust; cazimi is separate. Motion/solar boundaries need review. Check for any
intervening or simultaneous third-party contact, station or ingress through the
next contact with a distinct principal ruler, or through the finite window end
if no endpoint is captured. The principal endpoint is not itself an impediment.
Placement and condition must belong to the SAME significator. Cadency alone
does not veto the office-placement branch. This is not an unlimited future test.

H05: Office both/either = either L1 or Moon applies to Sun or L10 by conjunction,
AND L10 is in X or beholds cusp X by conjunction/sextile/trine under H06.
The malefic branch selects a distinct Mars/Saturn joining L10 by a major aspect;
that selected malefic must be in I, in own domicile/exaltation, oriental and
direct, while Mars/Saturn are not in opposition within their moieties.

H06: Contact with a fixed question cusp is STATIC ecliptic longitude, within
an explicitly editorial 3-degree orb (boundary tolerance 0.000002 degrees).
It does not claim a future exact cusp-contact time. Journey Moon square ASC
uses Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini at northern latitudes.
Southern/equatorial figures need review in that branch, not a guessed reversal.
The separate sextile branch has no hemisphere condition.

H07: Swift compares positive instantaneous longitude speed to these chapter
means (degrees/minutes/seconds per day):
Saturn 0:02:01 p57; Jupiter 0:04:59 p61; Mars 0:31:27 p65;
Sun 0:59:08 p69; Venus 0:59:08 p72; Mercury 0:59:08 p76;
Moon 13:10:36 p80. Equality within 0.00000001 degrees/day needs review.
The instantaneous-speed proxy is Umbra's implementation choice. Retrograde
absolute speed is not treated as swift. Mars uses the planetary chapter's
31:27, not the conflicting 30:27 in the p177 worked example. Moon uses the
precise mean, not the rounded later slow-motion sentence.

H08: Union square needs one-way reception. A received conjunction in VII is
observed with the source's difficulty qualification, not a numerical chance.
Opposition with reception is not promoted into a positive recipe.
Special transfer needs no current principal application; distinct carrier;
qualified p125 past/principal sequence; both carrier legs sextile/trine;
direct, non-combust, non-cadent carrier; no detriment/fall; an afflicting
Mars/Saturn must receive the carrier. Anchor reception follows H03.

H09: Property agreement and acquisition are separate assessments. Both buyer
and seller need at least one own dignity for amicable/transfer agreement, using
the question epoch. The combined check requires both assessments. This is not
a valuation, investment recommendation or prediction that a purchase occurs.

SPbAA PROFESSIONS: umbra-spbaa-professions-v1
Grammar: profession-conditions-v4; snapshot engine: profession-evaluator-v6.

Source: S. V. Shestopalov, Astrology of Professions, supplied Russian copy.
The text identifies the course context as 2001. Pxxxx identifiers refer to the
supplied-copy paragraphs, not printed pages. Full book text is not redistributed.
These are Umbra readings, not a claim of endorsement or the school's current
official standard. The original 28 source programs remain unchanged: 12 narrow
documented routes and 16 partial checklists. Each of those 16 has a separately
selectable editorial counterpart; several source variants share one final recipe.

U01: Rich aspectation = four distinct planetary counterparts including at least
one sextile/trine and one square/opposition. A symbolic substitute needs three
counterparts including a sextile/trine. Conjunction contributes only to total.
These thresholds are Umbra decisions, not numbers quoted from the source.

U02: Musicality = rich Neptune plus a direct major contact to Venus/Moon/Saturn.
The profession-specific one-of-three wording is required (P0139/P0198/P0243/P0273).
The earlier two-of-three wording (P0092) is shown as a supporting observation.
Sign dignity never substitutes for aspect richness; Neptune has no symbolic
substitutes in these programs.

U03: Every adjacent pair in an expressly listed chain requires three explicit
source-role paths. No unspecified non-adjacent pairs or generic graph substitute.
One physical aspect may support multiple explicitly distinct role paths, but
repeating the same path, role or aspect record does not multiply the count.
Source co-ruler profile: later lecture 13.5 degrees; other revisions diagnostic.
The existing Professions orb/membership profiles remain fixed and disclosed.

U04: Active I = at least three other houses, six role paths, one square/opposition
path. Active III = six other houses and nine paths. These quantify qualitative
wording (P0097/P0103/P0309/P0314/P0324). Extra uncertain evidence cannot invalidate
a minimum already satisfied by known evidence. Incomplete geometry/profile
mismatch still requires review.

U05: Direct Mars–Venus OR well-aspected Venus physically in Scorpio/VIII OR
well-aspected Mars physically in Libra/VII (P0190). Direct Moon–Mars OR
well-aspected Mars physically in Cancer/IV OR well-aspected Moon physically in
Scorpio/VIII (P0189). Rulership and aspects to house elements are not occupancy.

U06: Sculpture combines the visual chain with an explicit OR of general
Mars–Venus (P0044) and worked-example Mars–Saturn (P0112). Neither is silently
presented as the single canonical definition. Rare visual-arts exceptions
(P0042) prevent a hard Venus contact requirement for the visual-chain profile.

U07: Current calculations measure the supplied natal geometry. Skills, training,
notation literacy and psychological competence are external and not verified.
A present symbolic pattern does not complete these real-world requirements.

U08: Writing/science here explicitly mean the professional-career variant,
including IX–X. Separate source-only aptitude routes remain available. Composition
chooses the traditional-study variant with III–IV; the no-IV natural-composer
exception remains outside this named variant. IV–IX and IV–XII are not hard gates.

U09: Professional astrology uses three distinct Uranus/Aquarius/XI → Mercury/III
observations, deduplicating shared-role and physical-aspect identities. No invented
planetary gate certifies psychological competence (P0390). Directing measures the
six-pair example topology in a natal figure as an explicit Umbra extrapolation;
the source's relocated figure (P0218/P0232) is NOT reproduced by that natal test.

OPERATIONAL PROGRAMS (each pair below needs three paths unless specified):
Visual arts: II–VII–IX–X.
Sculpture: visual chain + U06 OR.
Dance: II–IX–X–XI + U05 Mars/Venus + U02 + active I.
Singing v1/v2/v3: U02 + U05 Moon/Mars + II–IV + IV–IX + IX–X;
II–IV may instead be two paths plus one Venus–Moon contact (P0141);
IV has >=3 distinct elements, every element aspected (P0156);
Jupiter belongs to/aspects an element of IV (P0158).
Opera: singing + II–V–IX–X and I–V.
Instrumental music: U02 + II–IX–X–XII.
Directing: all six pairs among III, IX, X, XI; natal extrapolation only.
Writing: one Moon–Mercury / Moon–Jupiter / Mercury–Jupiter contact;
III–IV, III–IX, IX–X + active III.
Mathematics: Mercury–Saturn + two additional Saturn–III source-role indications;
III–V + III–IV, III–IX, IX–X.
Composition: U02 + III–IX–X–XII + III–XII + III–IV; external literacy unverified.
Conducting v1/v2: U02; II–IX–X–XII; III–IV–IX–X–XI; I–V;
VI–VIII, VI–X, VIII–X; III–V, III–X plus Sun OR Saturn relating to III;
IV–V, IV–X, V–X. Leaf references distinguish P0254–P0268 explicitly.
Astronomy: Uranus/XI influence on Mercury/III + Saturn relates to III;
III–V + III–IV, III–IX, IX–X. Direct Mercury–Saturn is NOT mandatory.
Astrology: III–IV–IX–X–XI + three Uranian-interest observations;
external psychological competence unverified.

PERSISTENCE AND LIMITS
The exact declarative profession program, paragraph references, thresholds,
editorial decisions and geometry are saved. Horary stores its versioned recipe,
profile identifier, measured timeline and report. Reopening verifies against the
original engine edition. No new sky request is made; old reports are never
silently upgraded. Unknown/tampered versions fail closed and remain exportable.
This is internal consistency checking, not cryptographic proof of source origin.
No production migration or new external provider is required by these profiles.
