Hi there - this is a beta release for further testing and development. If you are interested in exploring these techniques please download the script below and copy it to your chosen folder within the Planetdance Horoscope folder.

From the Help:

Egyptian harmonic charts are a sidereal technique developed by Cyril Fagan, the noted Irish astrologer, and Garth Allen, his American colleague. The technique is designed to be used with the Fagan/Bradley ayanamsa or Synetic Vernal Point.

For more information see:

https://web.archive.org/web/20241007011435/https://www.angelfire.com/sd/binah/method.html

For information on the sidereal zodiac see:

https://web.archive.org/web/20230609215426/https://www.angelfire.com/sd/binah/sidereal.html

The module also calculates standard harmonic charts (Addey's harmonics). Users can choose between standard and Egyptian harmonics by clicking the relevant button on the first tab.

Weidner Conception chart

The Weider conception chart was developed by Sandra Weidner in the 1980's. The method is described in Considerations magazine, Volume V, Number 2, published in 1988.

This may be downloaded from:

https://archive.org/details/considerations-21-1/considerations-05-2/page/n1/mode/2up

Quadwheel

A button on the Conception Navamsa tab can be clicked to display a quadwheel. This shows four charts oriented to the position of the conception navamsa Moon as an ascendant degree.

The inner wheel is the conception navamsa chart.

The mid-inner wheel is the conception chart calculated according to the Weidner method.

The mid-outer wheel is the natal (first harmonic) chart.

The outer wheel is the natal navamsa (novien) chart.

For further information see this thread on the Planetdance forum:

For screenshots see below.

If you discover any problems or bugs please report them here.

Classic, Medieval, Vedic / v.20.00 - Ed Greek Horoscope
« on: January 30, 2025, 02:19:45 PM »

Astrobasic / syzygy()
« on: January 18, 2025, 04:29:44 PM »
Hi Jean - I think there's still a small error with the syzygy() function. Rajiv Gandhi's pre-natal lunation should be 25 LEO 44 as he's born just after a new moon. However the chart shows the syzygy glyph at 2 SC 17.

Could you take another look at this. It might need a small adjustment.

Thanks. Ed

Classic, Medieval, Vedic / Medieval Traditional Chart - v.11.
« on: January 17, 2025, 10:51:19 AM »
Hi there - I have locked the previous topic, which related to the tabbed version of the Medieval Traditional Chart module. As this is now a mature module I will move on to the next version which will be v.11. Please post any requests or bug notices for the module in this thread.

Best wishes. Ed

Astrobasic / getalmuten()
« on: January 16, 2025, 06:02:39 PM »
Hi Jean - this is a really useful function and I'm using it in a few places. However I can't get the output of the function to match with my own calculations for the Dorothean (triple) triplicity lords.

I have attached Nick Drake's chart below. You will see in the table of dignities that there is a joint almuten for the ascendant - Moon and Jupiter. However for the temperament calculation, which uses getalmuten(), only one almuten - Moon - is shown. I have the code to display up to three, but I think the function is only identifying one. There is a debugging string on the upper left for the temperament table screenshot (second attachment below) that shows Number of almutens = 1.

Could you take a look at this when you have time.

Nick Drake data:

Name    Drake, Nick    Gender: M
Birthname    Nicholas Rodney Drake
born on    19 June 1948 at 07:15 (= 07:15 AM )
Place    Rangoon, Burma, 16n47, 96e10
Timezone    NST h6e30 (is standard time)

Thanks. Ed

Planetdance General / Venus Star Point
« on: January 13, 2025, 09:43:42 AM »
Hi Jean - there seems to be a small bug with the VSP module. If transits are selected and the user changes one of the parameters (start, years) and clicks go the scrolling text box disappears. It also seems to happen if the user chooses to display text rather than glyphs. Not sure if I'm using it wrong or there's a small glitch.

I'm using Donald Trump's chart.

Thanks. Ed

Planetdance General / Next version of Flower
« on: January 05, 2025, 11:01:41 AM »
Hi there - I've been working on a significant development of the Flower script (Horoscope-Extra-Flower). I am still testing the changes so I won't be releasing this imminently. However I thought that I would share a few screenshots.

The main changes are a new listing which shows the angular contacts between diurnal planets and the diurnal horizon and diurnal meridian. This helps to see when key outer planet transits might be particularly active in an individual horoscope.

It will also be possible to show individual diurnal house cusps in the wheel. I have also added the option to specify a date for calculating transits, progressions, solar arcs and a quad wheel. This means that there will be two ways of achieving this; right clicking in the wheel and choosing from the pop up menu, or setting a date manually to get great accuracy. With the mouse click method it is sometimes difficult to get the accuracy of the mouse pointer to within a day's accuracy.

Screenshots:

Main Flower tab
Diurnal chart calculated from listing for Jimmy Carter, 1 October 2024
Bi-wheel, using synastry function
Quadwheel for Jimmy Carter, 30 September 2024

This day was effectively Carter's diurnal return for his 100th birthday. Note the close alignment of transiting Pluto with his fourth house cusp, and diurnal Pluto exactly on his diurnal IC. Diurnal Mars is crossing natal Pluto and the sec. progressed Moon is aligned with Pluto and transiting Mars. Solar arc Pluto is approaching his natal ascendant and square his meridian. Diurnal Uranus and Neptune are aligned with his diurnal and natal 6th and 8th house cusps using Porphyry. Outer planet transits to these cusps seem to be particularly significant at times of great challenge in an individual's life.

All the best. Ed
