Hi there - here is a sample of the latest work. An addition to the Medieval Traditional Chart showing transits, solar return and profections for the year and month. All in one handy window!
Ed
-
Looks great again Ed.
I even understand some of it myself haha.
-
Thanks Jean - I think I'm going to do a solar return wheel too. This will be a big update to the medieval traditional chart module. Ed
-
Update - solar return wheel
-
Hi - I'm adding new features to the medieval traditional chart module. This will now include a solar returns (solar revolutions) feature.
Ed
-
Further update - two charts showing direction positions. SR wheel shows annual directions of MC and Asc. Natal wheel shows primary directed positions of MC and asc for distribution through the bounds (MC - black dot), Asc (green dot). Profections positions for year and month shown (red dot - profected asc sign for year, blue dot - for month).
-
These look like great additions to the module. :) Can we also have Chaldean bounds, please?
-
Should be easy by using the getbound() function,you'd only have to change the parameter Ed. :)
-
Fantastisch Ed en Jean, mooie aanwinst weeral. Dank je wel!
-
Thanks for the comments.
Sindy - in general I have used Egyptian and Ptolemaic bounds, from the Tetrabiblos. Do you have any reference for the Chaldean bounds so that I can put this in the help please. It should be possible to add Chaldean bounds fairly easily using Jean's function.
All the best. Ed

Ptolemy also gives the Chaldaean terms/bounds, thought not in a table. He writes: "The Chaldaean method involves a sequence, simple, to be sure, and more plausible, though not so self-sufficient with respect to the government of the triangles and the disposition of quantity, so that, nevertheless, one could casily understand them even without a diagram. For in the first triplicity, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, which has with them the same division by signs as with the Egyptians, the lord of the triplicity, Jupiter, is the first to receive terms, then the lord of the next triangle, Venus, next the lord of the triangle of Gemini, Saturn, and Mercury, and finally the lord of the remaining triplicity, Mars. In the second triplicity, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, which again has the same division by signs, Venus is first, then Saturn, and again Mercury, after these Mars, and finally Jupiter. This arrangement in general is observed also in the remaining two triplicities. Of the two lords of the same triplicity, however, Saturn and Mercury, by day Saturn takes the first place in the order of ownership, by night Mercury. The number assigned to each is also a simple matter. For in order that the number of terms of each planet may be less by One degree than the preceding, to correspond with the descending order in which first place is assigned, they always assign 8° to the first, 7° to the second, 6° to the third, 5° to the fourth, and 4° to the last; thus the 30° of a sign is made up. The sum of the number of degrees thus assigned to Saturn is 78 by day and 66 by night, to Jupiter 72, to Mars 69, to Venus 75, to Mercury 66 by day and 78 by night; the total is 360 degrees."

Thanks I've got them now, same chapter as the Egyptian, but as you say not presented in a table.
Latest screenshot.

Sorry for the late reply. I wasn't able to respond sooner. Regarding to source texts for the Chaldean bounds I only know about Ptolemy (the passage Jan gave above). I've been searching for other sources but so far I wasn't able to find any. The sequence and logic of the Chaldean bounds is, however, so intriquing that I think there has to be more and perhaps even older sources than Ptolemy. What was Ptolemy's source? If anyone knows more, please let me know. I'm very much interested in investigating this further. :)
-
Thanks Sindy - I will incorporate these bounds into the medieval script, that will give Egyptian, Ptolemian, Chaldean and Lilly's variation on Ptolemy. Jan reminded me that the text was in Ptolemy, but I was looking for a table, not a textual description. I will be updating people about the work I am doing on developing these scripts through this forum as I don't do Facebook. Thanks. Ed
-
Thanks, Ed! :) Oh, I forgot... A table displaying the Chaldean bounds can be found on this site: https://www.google.com/amp/s/altairastrology.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/more-on-the-terms-or-bounds/amp/

Thanks Sindy - that's helpful. I'm hoping to have a significant update of medieval traditional horoscope out in the next couple of weeks. There will be a lot of new features. Ed

Ed, that's exciting! I'm sure the update will be great.
-
Another update - SR chart now shows profection positions and circumambulation positions:
-
Hi Ed, fantastic work, great features. :)
Available already?
-
Great, Ed. Thanks so much. :)
-
Thanks for the feedback - this is getting close to release. I need to test over the weekend, and include the Chaldean bounds. Otherwise I think it's ready to go.
Ed
-
Hi Ed, please do not forget my question regarding the primary directions of the Solar Ascendant throug the terms in the Revolution.
Up till now I use Delphic Oracl, but Delphic is giving problems on my pc.
-
Hi Hellen - this will be in the medieval module. I'm working on it at the moment. Ed
-
you're the best!! :-*
-
Hi - some delays on the final stages of this script. However here is some sample input on directions of the MC through the bounds over the course of the solar return year. The script will include the same for the directed ascendant. Ed
-
Hi Hellen - see thread in Astrobasic area of the forum. Ed
-
While i don't mind at all how the board is currently doing, what i had in mind for the astrobasic part of the forum was posting about the actual programming language. While the boards here, planetdance for windows and it's subforum Classic, Medieval Vedic are for the programs and modules itself. Of course there can be overlap, don't feel restricted, but i would like to see that distinction so the astrobasic part really is about astrobasic, for the developers. I can use it to announce changes in the language for instance and it can be a reference.
-
Hi there - I think I've finally got this working - annual directions of the ascendant through the bounds.
Ed
-
Hi there - this is getting close to release. It needs further checking but I think I've sorted most of the bugs out. I'm hoping to release it this weekend with some supporting videos. Best wishes. Ed
-
When you release the new version i'll put it on fb to lure people to the forum ;D
-
Hi - the release is getting close. I've had some delays and bugs to fix but everything seems to be sorted out now. Final testing before the weekend and then release.
Ed

Thanks. Ed
-
Again a fantastic addition Ed, kudos :)
-
Thanks! This is probably the most ambitious script so far. Some of these features will be included in the forthcoming re-write of Ed Greek.
All the best. Ed
-
Even better!
-
Thanks so much, Ed. You're the best!! :) :)
-
Thanks Hellen - it's good to have your positive feedback. I appreciate it.
Best wishes. Ed
-
hello Ed
concerning the primary directions of the Ascendant through the terms
in case i make a mistake, you consider here the primary directions of the Solar Ascendant through the terms in the Revolution? or in life
is it not what we call "divisor"?
(directed asc through the bound in all life by ptolemaic or neibod key
-
Hi there - the annual listing of directions through the bounds for ascendant and mc are just for the particular revolution. Ed
-
Thanks, Ed, for the new major update to the Medieval Traditional Chart module! This module is another great tool. I especially love the dots displaying currently activated profections and directions. And, of course, I'm happy to see that this module includes Chaldean bounds. :)
There is one thing I noticed with charts that are calculated and saved with WSH. When opened in the Medieval Traditional Chart module, the planets positions are off. The lines to the degrees of the planets are in place though. Weirdly, if I save the startup chart for today using WSH and open it in the Medieval Chart module, this misplacing of the planets doesn't occur; only with older charts from the file. Any idea what's wrong here?
Below an example chart opened in the Medieval Traditional Chart module, the second graph is the same chart opened in the main menu.
-
Thanks Sindy - I'll get this fixed. Ed
-
Hi there - Jean will be releasing this bug fix later in the day.
Best wishes. Ed
-
Great, thanks Ed!
I just saw there already exists a thread about the Medieval Traditional Chart. Didn't see this earlier. Apologies for opening a new thread!
-
Hi Sindy - this fix has been released. Let me know if you have any more problems. Ed
-
Looks fine now, thanks!
In the main wheel, however, the house cusps are slightly off. That was also before fixing the bug in Medieval Traditional Chart. This may be something for Jean, I guess?
-
I just see the 'e' in date is missing in the Medieval Traditional Chart (upper right corner) :)
-
Hi - if you are a regular user of the Medieval Traditional Chart module, please update Planetdance for the latest bug fixes.
Many thanks. Ed
-
Hi Sindy - the house cusps in the main wheel are for Jean as he maintains the main code. Ed
-
Well it's turning out rather complicated. It's a little bit better now but not optimal. I'm gonna try something new for WHS but that will take a bit of time.
[Edit] 1 hour later, i tried a few things but the part that draws a horoscope is quite complex and i'd have to redesign things to improve this situation. Frankly i'm not too happy with this but for now it's the best i can do. You can see the problem illustrated when you move a horoscope in time per minute using the arrows. The housecusps dance a bit round the signcusps, sometimes exact, sometimes one pixel off.
[Edit 2] If you still see cusps that are off too much, please redownload.
-
Thanks Jean - I will update now. Best wishes. Ed
-
Thanks, Jean! I did an update. Looks good to me now. :)
-
Hi there - I'm releasing an important bug fix for this module later today.
27 September 2020
v.7.66 - bug fix for directed angles
If you are a regular user of this module I recommend that you update as soon as possible.
Ed
-
Hi, after the update I'm having again the same bug as we had some time ago. The planets are not in their right positions. I was also thinking about the colors. The theme I've chosen has the same colors as the dots are. So blue (monthly profected Asc) and green (directed Asc) are not seen if they fall in earth or water signs.
-
Ed those texts in the left bottom corner are inside a loop. They are bold and a bit diffuse because of that.
Good luck with the positions.
-

Fixed. Thanks Jean.
-
Hi Sindy - apologies for the regression. :-[ I've fixed it now. I've also altered the marker colours. Let me know what you think. I'll send the update to Jean for release.
All the best. Ed
-
Thanks. Published.
-
Thanks Jean. :)
-
Hi Ed, no apologies needed. Looks fine now. Thanks! :)
-
Thanks Sindy - glad the problem is fixed. Ed
-
Hi there - Jean will be releasing bug fixes for this module today. These fix problems with the Annual Directions calculations.

See the help file for more information.
Thanks. Ed
-
Hi there - here is an early look at the embedded version of Medieval Traditional Chart. This will include all the existing features. I will probably use this opportunity to include additional modules like Victor of the Chart so that the medieval folder is tidied up.
Thanks. Ed
-
Nice work Ed, and i like the cleaning up.
-
Here is the latest screenshot from the beta version of the embedded Medieval Traditional Chart script.
-
if it's embedded please add setsymbolsize for bigger symbols Ed. 8)
-
It's all done Jean. Just testing now. Ed
-
Hi there - Jean will be releasing the new version of this module. This is a significant upgrade so regular users should update Planetdance soon.

A number of medieval modules will be removed from the Medieval folder as these are now incorporated into the main script.
Medieval Degree Meanings
Medieval Divisions
Medieval House Almutens
Medieval Moieties
Medieval Table of Dignities
Medieval Victor of the Chart
Triplicity Lords Analysis
Many thanks. Ed
-
Hi there - this version includes a bug fix for the display and listings of dodekatemoria. Please update if you use this module regularly.
Ed
-
Hi there - a further small refinement of the Medieval Traditional Chart module.
v.8.85 - removed dodekatemoria table, checked medieval divisions table, added novenaria display option for inner wheel.
This tidies up the display of dodekatemoria information which might have been misleading in earlier versions of the update.
Thanks to Sindy for identifying a bug.
Ed
-
Hi there - further small bug fixes from the recent big update to this module. If you are a regular user please update your installation of Planetdance.
v.8.89 - various bug fixes including contra-ant display, lot listings
Thanks for using Planetdance.
Ed
-
Hi there - there is an update for this module:
v. 8.110. - added option to use albiruni's calculation of lots of mercury and venus using spirit and fortune only
This brings the module more into line with medieval practice.
Thanks. Ed
