Hi Zagata - I think this is going to be the most I can do at the moment. It's probably the easiest bit. The searches for all the various possibilities are going to take quite a bit of working out.

Anyway, if you can test the module I'm going to email you it would be really helpful. Ed

Hi Andy - I have incorporated them into the Ed Greek Horoscope module. You can get this at Horoscope-Classical-Ed Greek Horoscope. Use the Outer Wheel Display sub-menu and choose Manilius' Decans.

I think Jean is just pointing you to a way to show the standard decans in the main wheel. Jean maintains the Settings script so I can't add them there for you.

Thanks. Ed

If you want to show the usual decans in the main wheel: use menu options - settings - classic. There will be a choice there.

If you want to show Manilius version please use the outer wheel of the Ed Greek Module. Follow the instructions above:

Use Outer Wheel Display menu - Manilius' Decans.

Planetdance in Action! / Almugea Time Lords - King Charles III

« on: May 08, 2023, 11:49:58 AM »

Hi there - I have developed a time lord system that takes its inspiration from Rok's work on his Trails of the Stars time lords. In my system I use the concept of almugea or proper face as the basis of the time lord distribution.

You can read more here: https://forum.jcremers.com/index.php/topic,391.0.html. You can dowload the latest version of the script for your own use as well.

If you take a look at the screenshot below you will see King Charles is in a Mars almugea period that began in 2018 and will extend until 2026. Charles' Mars ruled period is eight years because natal Mars, when measured backwards through the signs, is eight signs from its proper face in Aries (his chart is nocturnal).

This seems appropriate for the period of his life when he has become King, on the death of his mother last September, and being crowned in May 2023. Mars is the ruler of Charles' Aries MC, and is ruled by Jupiter as it is in Sagittarius. Mars is peregrine (without dignity) but is trine his Leo ascendant and Aries MC. Mars in a nocturnal chart is moderated in its malefic nature by being in sect. Mars in a mixed reception with Jupiter - Jupiter is in the bounds of Mars, whilst Mars is in the sign and triplicity of Jupiter.

Charles is currently in the Moon ruled sublord period which began on 19 April 2022 and will extend up until 11 June 2023. The Moon is a highly dignfied planet in Charles' horoscope, being in its exaltation and ruled by Venus (in dignity). The Moon also has a powerful position by accidental dignity being square the horizon. The Moon is the most elevated planet in the chart, and being a noctural horoscope gives the Moon and even more important role for Charles. The Moon approaches the North Node - his destiny is bound up with his people (Moon) and he needs to aware of their needs and feelings. This is true of Charles in all his relationships, but his South Node, in Mars ruled Scorpio with Mercury close by, gives him a mindset that is strong willed and opinionated.

Mercury is a peregrine planet in Charles' horoscope, and it also has a powerful position accidently being square the horizon. Mercury is in the bounds of Mars, and Mars is in the bounds of Mercury, making a mutual reception by bounds. Mercury is in Scorpio, a Mars ruled sign. Note that Mercury is close to the prenatal lunation, suggesting his destiny is deeply bound with this configuration. Here is a King making his views and opinions known but in a way that is out of kilter with the expectations which people have of him. We can see that as he is in a Mars period and a Mercury subperiod, these planets come into high focus until the beginning of 2024. Mercury is retrograde, moving towards the South Node, and approaching sextile Saturn. Charles has to curb the expression of his views, and his responsibilities (Saturn) given him a framework in which to do this. Overstating his opinions given his responsibilities is a constant risk (South Node).

This axis through Taurus and Scorpio is vital to understanding Charles' chart. He has the Moon in the first degree of Taurus, North Node in the fourth degree and the Lot of Eros in the ninth degree opposite the syzygy. Venus is an exceptionally powerful planet in Charles' chart, being in Libra in dignity very close to the IC (angular). Venus is in the exaltation of Saturn, and we have already noted the relationship between Saturn and Mercury. Charles' elevated Moon and North Node in Taurus point to the overriding need for him to build better relationships despite his natural inclination to overwhelm people with his forthright opinions.

In summary, this period, using the almugea time lord and sublords, brings Charles to his people (Moon - North Node) as king, but demands that he put aside or curb (Saturn) his tendency to overstate his views (Mercury) in the interests of building harmony and concord (Venus).

HI Zagata - thanks for the suggestion. I've been thinking about your ideas. I have some thoughts about how this could be done. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time right now, but maybe the requests could be broken down into manageable steps.

I will keep you updated if I am able to do any development on this. Ed

Planetdance in Action! / KIng Charles III Coronation

« on: May 01, 2023, 06:19:33 PM »

Hi there - I'm going to take a look at King Charles III's diurnal or daily chart for the day of his coronation. This will occur at 11AM on 6 May 2023. However, the diurnal chart is set for his birthtime and birthplace on that day, giving a high focus look at the planetary energies he is dealing with at the moment.

In Charles' diurnal chart 5 Sagittarius 30 is rising. Jupiter rules his diurnal chart for the days around the coronation. Diurnal Jupiter at the end of Aries (Mars ruled) is in mutual reception with his natal Mars in Sagittarius. Further more diurnal Jupiter is approaching trine natal Jupiter at the end of the fire signs. It should be noted that Charles is experiencing a nodal return at the moment. It seems his destiny is fulfilled. However, the day before the coronation there is a lunar eclipse at 14 Scorpio 52. This occurs exactly (within 10 minutes of arc) of the 12th house cusp of the coronation day diurnal chart.

The 6th-12th axis in a diurnal chart (the example uses Porphyry cusps) seems especially sensitive and generally does not portend benefits. Although Charles has come to the throne following the death of his mother, the eclipse degree on this difficult axis does not suggest a long or happy reign. We should note that Charles' Sun-Mercury midpoint is exactly aligned with this axis too, and the diurnal Sun, although it has moved on from the eclipse degree, is right inside the cusp of the Porphyry 6th. It should also be noted that diurnal Sun is precisely square Charles' natal Pluto, and the square is clearly aligned with the 6th-12th axis. This symbolism suggests the assumption of power, but the alignment with the 6th-12th axis indicates that there are significant challenges for Charles' to face.

The most precise alignment in the chart is the opposition between the diurnal Saturn at 5 Pisces 49 and the Charles' natal Saturn at 5 Virgo 16. The natal Saturn is elevated precisely square the 5 Sagittarius 30 rising degree. Charles' is in the midst of Saturn opposition, bringing his responsibilities into sharp relief. The cross with the horizon for the day and time of the diurnal chart shows that this emphatically reinforced by his coronation. Saturn in Virgo suggests a fastidious devotion to duty and service, and the elevated position of his natal planet emphasises this element of Charles' destiny. Saturn in Pisces at the bottom of the chart relates to the duty-bound heritage that Charles' has inherited.

As ever with these diurnal charts there are multiple alignments with great precision. I would like to note one last alignment - this is the diurnal Venus, exactly transiting Charles' very exact Jupiter-Uranus opposition. This occurs in the last degree of Gemini/Sagittarius. This axis, using 8th harmonic aspects is precisely aligned with the eclipse degree axis of the 5 May 2023. It is also exactly aligned with the 6th-12th axis by 8th harmonic (45 and 135 degree aspects). Jupiter-Uranus in opposition speaks of a 'radical monarch'. However the challenging alignment of the 6th-12th axis suggests Charles' may struggle to realise his vision of a modern monarchy.

The chart of the day is attached below, with the diurnal chart on the inner wheel.

Extension Scripts / Almugea Time Lord System

« on: April 30, 2023, 09:39:03 AM »

Hi there - I have adapted Rok's innovative time lord system to use almugea, or proper face, positions. In this variation, the planet's distance from it's almugea position according to sect is measured and used for the duration of its period as time lord.

From the Help File:

ALMUGEA TIME LORD SYSTEM - a modern time-lord technique developed by Ed (with many thanks to Rok Koritinik for his original Trails of Stars technique)

ALMUGEA EXPLAINED

Each planet has a favoured position known as being in almugea or proper face. The procedure is as follows:

The domicile of the planets in a nocturnal chart by almugea are Gemini (Mercury), Taurus (Venus), Aries (Mars), Pisces (Jupiter) and Aquarius (Saturn). The Sun retains its single domicile in Leo. The Moon retains its single domicile in Cancer.

The domicile of the planets in a diurnal chart by almugea are Virgo (Mercury), Libra (Venus), Scorpio (Mars), Sagittarius (Jupiter) and Capricorn (Saturn). The Moon retains its single domicile in Cancer. The Sun retains its single domicile in Leo.

The Sun and the Moon only have one domicile each (Leo and Cancer). This division of diurnal and nocturnal domiciles by almugea is a medieval technique, but we unfortunately rarely see it put in use.  The technique here does, like most Hellenistic or traditional techniques comply with the principle of sect and also take diurnal and nocturnal domiciles into the account.

THE TECHNIQUE EXPLAINED

1. We determine the initiator - the Sun or the Moon (as described below).

2. We count how many signs the initiator has traveled from its almugea position. If in almugea, it gets 12 years. If in the 2nd sign from it, it gets 1 year. If in the 12th sign from it, it gets 11 years, etc. In this technique based on almugea positions, if the Moon is initiator the distances are calculated against the order of signs; if the Sun is initiator, the distances are calculated in the order of signs.

3. We continue in the ascending order by speed, so if we started with the Sun, the next time-lord will be Mars and if we started with the Moon, the next time-lord will be Mercury. We count the signs according to the sect, thus by day from the diurnal domicile and by night from the nocturnal one.

4. When the full cycle of time-lords is complete, the rulership of time is handed over to the sect light again.

Rok named his original technique Trails of the Stars, because the planets are leaving a trail from their domicile that represents years they have traversed, thus the amount of years they rule.

SELECTING THE INITIATOR (Rok's technique)

Ancient techniques for calculating the length of life require that we select the epikratétor or the predominator of the horoscope. This is usually the Sun by day or the Moon by night, provided they meet certain criteria. If they don't, then the other luminary takes the place of the predominator, or sometimes even Fortune or the Ascendant. Since the selection of the predominator is not a part of this technique we will not examine it. The Trails of the Stars time-lord technique does require a similar selection of the luminary from which we start the releasing or counting of time, but the rules are a bit simpler than those for selecting the predominator and are based on whole-sign places. We shall call the luminary that begins the counting of years the Initiator.

The initiator can only be one of the two luminaries. In a diurnal horoscope the initiator is the Sun, unless he is in the 8th or the 12th place (with the 8th place having some exceptions). In such a case the Moon replaces the Sun, provided she is not in the 12th or the 6th place. The same rules apply for a nocturnal horoscope, where the Moon is the initiator, unless she is in the above mentioned places. If both luminaries are in difficult places, then we select the one that is in the 8th or the 2nd, since these two places are succeedent and will eventually move to an angle. In order to not leave too much space for speculation I've decided to write down all the possible scenarios where the luminary of the sect is replaced by the other.

BY DAY (places in order of diurnal rotation):

The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 1st = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 12th = the Sun
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 11th  = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 10th  = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 9th = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 8th = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 7th = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 6th = the Sun
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 5th = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 4th = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 3rd = the Moon
The Sun in the 12th, the Moon in the 2nd = the Moon

The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 1st = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 12th = the Sun
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 11th = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 10th = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 9th = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 8th = the Sun
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 7th = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 6th = the Sun
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 5th = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 4th = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 3rd = the Moon
The Sun in the 8th, the Moon in the 2nd = the Sun

Note: The Sun in the 6th and 2nd places will always be below the horizon, but if he is up to 6 degrees below the horizon the horoscope is considered to be diurnal.

The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 1st = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 12th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 11th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 10th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 9th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 8th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 7th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 6th = the Sun
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 5th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 4th = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 3rd = the Moon
The Sun in the 6th, the Moon in the 2nd = the Moon

If the Sun is in the 9th place and the Moon is in the 1st or the 7th place and above the horizon, then the Moon replaces the Sun. Since the 9th place is the place of the Sun's joy, the Moon must be above the horizon in order to be able to take the Sun's role as the initiator. She can replace the Sun also if she is in the 11th or the 10th place.

BY NIGHT (places in order of diurnal rotation):

The Moon in the 12th, the Sun in the 6th = the Moon
The Moon in the 12th, the Sun in the 5th = the Sun
The Moon in the 12th, the Sun in the 4th = the Sun
The Moon in the 12th, the Sun in the 3rd = the Sun
The Moon in the 12th, the Sun in the 2rd = the Sun
The Moon in the 8th, the Sun in the 6th = the Moon
The Moon in the 8th, the Sun in the 5th = the Sun
The Moon in the 8th, the Sun in the 4th = the Sun
The Moon in the 8th, the Sun in the 3rd = the Sun
The Moon in the 8th, the Sun in the 2rd = the Moon

The Moon in the 6th, the Sun in the 6th = the Moon
The Moon in the 6th, the Sun in the 5th = the Sun
The Moon in the 6th, the Sun in the 4th = the Sun
The Moon in the 6th, the Sun in the 3rd = the Sun
The Moon in the 6th, the Sun in the 2rd = the Sun

The Moon in the 2nd, the Sun in the 6th = the Moon
The Moon in the 2nd  the Sun in the 5th = the Sun
The Moon in the 2nd, the Sun in the 4th = the Sun
The Moon in the 2nd, the Sun in the 3rd = the Sun
The Moon in the 2nd, the Sun in the 2rd = the Moon

If the Moon is in the 3rd place of her joy, she can be replaced by the Sun only if he is in the 1st or the 7th place and also if he is in the 5th or the 4th place.

Alternatively the user may select either sect light to override the calculation technique.

THE USE OF THE TECHNIQUE

The aim of Trails of the Stars time-lord technique is to provide a very individualized time-lords which are used in conjunction with profections and Solar returns. The time-lord by this technique sets up the context within which the subsequent Sun-based techniques (profections and Solar returns) are judged.

This variation of the technique uses almugea position rather than the nocturnal and diurnal rulerships of the planets, which is the basis of Rok's original technique.

Planetdance in Action! / Re: Boris Johnson - Diurnal Chart for 5 May 2023

« on: April 24, 2023, 07:49:29 AM »

Thanks Jean - there are so many facets to astrology it can be overwhelming. This technique is little known and not in regular use, but to me it seems to be a really helpful and insightful way of looking at transits. I'm using the Planetdance in Action board to post about it as a way of exploring the technique in more depth. The results so far seem quite encouraging, in terms of highlighting periods when transits become high focus and play out in life. It just occurred to me that the same approach could be used to identify when progressed planets come to the diurnal angles, and also solar arc positions. Something to work on when I have more time.

Best wishes as ever. Ed
