Hi Ed and Jean,
I have a special request. I would love to have Planetdance calculate annual and monthly 12th parts and 9th parts. This is based on Abu Mashar and others and I recently learned about it from the Arab Dr Ali Olomi's Patreon. (He teaches at an American university) Ali Olomi does traditional translations directly from Arabic and I can't recommend his Patreon enough because he is providing information which did not reach medieval Europe. Basically, those of us not reading Ancient Arabic are learning and testing these ancient methods for the first time in many centuries. Even though Ben Dykes translated Abu Mashar on Solar Revolutions from Arabic, there are still many, many unknowns and the book is 99% theory.
I have used Boris Becker's nativity (22 Nov 1967 at 8.45 am in Leimen, Germany, Asc 9.22 Sag) and his 1989 SR. He was 22 = his prof. Asc reaches the 11th sign Lib. His 1989 SR has Asc 4.07 Gem. I am using Lib Asc to save time because earlier today I calculated a chart with a Lib prof. Asc, and the chart takes a while to do by hand. Please see the attached files.
The table has 5 columns. From left to right, they are:
1) The monthly prof. Asc sign, the date it starts based on the monthly solar revolution and the lord of the month;
2) The monthly solar revolution (MSR) Asc degree and minute and where its 12th part falls in the nativity by whole sign houses. For example, Month 3 has 28.28 Can MSR Asc, as calculated by Planetdance, whose 12th part is Gem, the natal 7th whole sign house;
3) The continuous prof. Asc. It is an 11th sign year = Lib = 9.22 Sag natal Asc becomes 9.22 Lib. Each month is 2.5 degrees. For example, in Month 3 (starting on 19 Jan 1990) the 12th part of the prof. Asc is from 14.22 to 16.52 Lib. This is the Pis 12th part = the 4th house sign house, ruled by Jupiter. Thus Jupiter, and the 4th house less so, need to taken into consideration in interpreting the month. Month 3 is considered a peak month because the 12th part of the prof Asc reaches Pis - one of the 4 natal stakes. The blue-coloured and underlined sign shows when the prof. Asc changes sign. This is an important month and shows changes in the native’s identity according to where the whole sign house falls. In Becker’s case in this year, it is Scorpio, the 12th place. This shift does not change the Lord of the Year. It is used for fine-tuning predictions throughout the year.
4)The 9th part lord of the monthly prof. Asc starting at 0 degrees, not at the degree of the Asc. Venus rules the first 9th part of Lib, the Moon rules the first 9th part of Sco, Mars of Sag, Saturn of Cap, etc. Ali Olomi explains that the word Abu Mashar uses for the planet in this column is the same word he uses in the Firdaria specific lord (not the general, first one). Thus we are also to take this planet into consideration when delineating the given month.
5)When the prof. Asc aspects a natal planet. This is from Umar and others, which the European medieval astrologers used a lot. The prof. Asc is at 9.22 Lib for Becker in 1989 and we profect it by 2.5 degrees per month = about 5 minutes per day. Natal Venus is at 13.14 Lib, so in Month 2 (starting on 21 Dec 1989 as per column 1) the prof Asc will be between 11.52 and 14.22 Lib and will reach the body of Venus around 6 Jan 1990. This will be a very significant few day period because the LoY is encountered, in the prof. Asc at that.
As for the months of destiny, I myself have indicated them by this symbol *. From the example given by Ali Olomi in his Patreon video, I understand them to be calculated in the following way. Take the 9th part lord of the natal Moon (there is a procedure for the SR Moon, but it is complicated and Ali Olomi is yet to teach it). Becker’s Moon is at 26.48 Can, whose 9th part is ruled by Jupiter. The rule is that when Jupiter is encountered by the monthly prof Asc, that will be the biggest month of destiny. Natal Jupiter is in Vir, which the monthy prof. Asc reaches in Month 12.
If the 9th part lord of the natal Moon is the 9th part lord of the monthly prof. Asc, that is also a month of destiny, though a weaker one. This last part is not valid in Becker’s case.
I myself created the current table based on Abu Mashar and the explanations of Ali Olomi. The mini table Ali Olomi created is much, much shorter and simpler. It has no dates, just the months, signs and planets are given, and it does not have the aspects of the prof. Asc to the natal planets. With my table, one has the full information at his finger tips and immediately sees which planets, signs, dates and aspects are activated in each of the months.
Ed, in case you decide to program the table in Medieval/Medieval Forecasting Methods, only you know whether there is enough space to fit it in and where. If space is limited, or it would require changing things you have already created, then columns 1 and 2 can be skipped. However, columns 3, 4, 5 are not available in any professional software or calculator that I know of and would be terrific if Planetdance once again is the world pioneer in this. Having this table and using it along with the multiwheels in Medieval Forecasting Methods in PlanetDance presents the perfect snapshot for the whole year.
Thank you for your consideration.
