Apotelésma

Apotelésma ( ancient Greek 'completion, success, influence' ) was a rather underused term in ancient astrology , which referred to the influence of the stars and constellations on the earthly sphere and matter as well as man.

Old Lutheran dogmatics used the term Apotelesmata to designate biblical sentences that spoke of Christ's redemptive action as if they proceeded from Christ only according to his human or only according to his divine nature.
