Medieval Forecasting Methods

[Bojan]

Hi, Ed!

Is there a way to fill a gap between lunar returns?

For example:
solar month 6 => 30.11.2023.
lunar month 6 => 01.12.2023.

solar month 7 => 29.12.2023.
lunar month 7 => 25.01.2024.

There is one more lunar return between these too, starting at 28.12.2023.  It would be relevant for solar month 7 analysys. It's not a big deal, because I can always calculate lunar return in separate tab.

Regards,
Bojan

Hi Bojan - I am aware of this as a limitation. I have a potential solution but it will take a couple of weeks to implement. The priority has been to get the Ed Greek module out.

I have acknowledged the issue in the help file for this tab.

It should be noted that on some occasions there might be two lunar returns within a monthly revolution. In this case, the module selects the first lunar return following the date of the underlying monthly revolution.

When a fix is available I will update the thread.

Thanks for your interest. Ed

Hi there - Jean is due to release a further update to this module.

v.1.182 - improvements to the lunar returns tab

Thanks to Bojan for the suggestions.

From the Help file:

This tab displays the lunar return associated with the current month of focus. The month is determined by the last chosen monthly return tab. The active month is identified in the lower centre of the wheel.

A new month can be selected by returning to the main tabs for months 1-12.

The lunar return is shown on the inside wheel. The natal chart positions are displayed on the outside wheel. Alternatively, the solar return positions for the month can be shown in the outer wheel. The option can be chosen using the buttons at the bottom of the screen. The user's preference will be recalled when the module is reloaded. The options can be changed dynamically within the session.

If the reference date falls within the chosen month, the lord of the day is listed and identified. A blue marker is also placed within the wheel.

The annual profected ascendant and monthly profected ascendant are also identified in the wheel. Their lords are also listed.

It should be noted that on some occasions there might be two lunar returns within the duration of a monthly solar revolution. In this case, both revolutions will be calculated and identified in the text box in the top righthand corner of the tab window. The first revolution is calculated by default. The second revolution can be displayed by clicking on the date of the return, and then clicking the Calculate button.

A list of all the lunar returns or revolutions can be displayed. A list of all the solar monthly returns and lunar returns can also be shown. These options are shown by clicking the relevant button at the bottom of the screen.

Hi there - further work on this module. I have added a lunations tab, which shows the new and full moons during the solar return year.

This shows the lunation prior to the solar return month in which Francoise Hardy died earlier in June 2024.

See screenshot below.

I hope to be able to release this update early in July.

Hi Ed and Jean,

I was checking Roman emperor Maximilian's nativity in Schoener's book and wanted to calculate his 1486 SR and MSRs. When I opened the medieval forecasting methods module, an error occurred. It says: array out of bound jdrRiseSet Line 2160. I updated Planetdance to the latest version but the error keeps happening.

Please see the attached files.

@Ed

Code: [Select]

real jdRiseSet[7];
  i = 0; for (i < 7){
    if (pDayJD + pDayZone > jdRiseSet[i] && pDayJD + pDayZone < jdRiseSet[i + 1]){
       break;}}

because jdRiseSet[7] has only 7 values jdRiseSet[i + 1] will throw error out of bounds.
Solution mostly is to declare jdRiseSet[8] and put a big enough value in that last one.

Hi Zagata. This is to do with the difference between old style and new style dates. I will fix when I get back from my break. Ed

[Zagata]

Hi Ed,

Thank you. And please make sure you enjoy your break to the fullest.

P.S. It was 41.1 degrees in my city today, with meteorologists forecasting 43 and 45 in the coming days. I wish I could take a break in the mountains.

HI Zagata - I hope the weather's cooler for you. It's been hot here for a few days. 28-29 degs C., which is unusual in my part of the world.

I'm going to have a go at fixing this issue now. I will keep you updated. Ed

[Zagata]

Hi Ed,

The weather is indeed a bit cooler now. I hope it normalizes back for your location. Thank you for the fix.

Hi Zagata - thanks for the confirmation on the fix. I will update the link now. Take care. Ed

Hi there - Jean will be releasing an update to this module today which fixes a bug identified by Zagata. He has tested and confirms that the bug fix is good.

v.1.219 - bug fix for historical charts

Please update your installation if you are a regular user of this module.

Thanks. Ed
