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.

Error in Medieval Forecasting Methods Module.
« Reply #35 on: July 16, 2024, 05:32:28 PM »
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

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

Hi Ed,

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

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

Table of Profected Aspects to Natal Planets.
« Reply #43 on: September 15, 2024, 05:01:17 PM »
Hi Ed and Jean,

I would like to make a request for the creation of a table that includes profected aspects to natal planets. These are calculated by advancing a given planet or angle by 2.5 degrees per month.

Ed, this is an expanded version of the aspects the profected Asc makes to natal planets that we talked about when you programmed the ninth and twelfth parts tables in the Medieval Forecasting Methods module. Since then, I have seen that European Renaissance astrologers such as Schoener, Rantzau, Leovitius used not just the Asc but the 5 traditional significators. My request is even that the table includes not just the Asc, MC, Sun, Moon and Lot of Fortune, but the 5 planets as well.

The purpose of the table is help in timing the annual promise. I will give two examples and show the table I have created and use. Please see the attached files.

The first one is Novak Djokovic. The inner wheel is his nativity and the outer wheel is his profected chart for 2017, when he was 30. The profected Asc came from 16.04 Cap to 16.04 Can, Venus came from 6.32 Tau to 6.32 Sco, etc.

The year promises a child because the Moon is Lord of the Year and exalted lord 5 and is natally conjunct Jupiter. In the SR chart (not shown) the Moon is applying to conjunct lord 5 Venus, who is tightly conjunct natal Jupiter. Venus is also the lord of the natal Lot of Children and on it.

The year also promises health issues because Mars is in the profected Asc, squares the Moon and he is also conjunct the SR Asc in Gemini and conjunct natal lord 6 Mercury. Djokovic had wrist surgery, but it is the timing of his second child that I want to draw your attention to.

Novak’s second child was born on 2 September 2017  (Month 4 - Lib, ruled by L5 Venus in the 5th.) See the profected table I created. By advancing 2.5 degrees per month, profected Venus, lord 5 and lord of the Lot of Children and on it, comes to conjunct the MC on 26 Aug - 7 days before the birth of Djokovic’s daughter. That is a pretty accurate timing of the annual promise. Notice the way it works: not the MC to Venus, but Venus to the MC. This is the reason why I am requesting all planets and not just the 5 traditional significators.

Example 2: Boris Becker and his 1998 SR, when he was 31. The Asc comes to the Moon. I have not done all the aspects but have calculated just three this time.

On 30 June 1999 Becker was drinking in a London restaurant, consoling himself after an early loss at Wimbledon. He was seduced by a Russian waitress, had quick sex with her inside the restaurant building and forgot about it. Months later, he was contacted with the news that he had become a father. He denied and disputed that initially, but a DNA test proved that we was the father and he paid the mother generously to take good her of their daughter.

The Moon is Lord of the Year and she is natally opposed to lord 5/lord 12 Mars. See the attached table. The profected Asc came to conjunct LoY Moon on 20 Jun - 10 days earlier than the event, but still a pretty good timing.

Keep in mind that Becker’s chart, as well as that of Djokovic are AA ratings from birth certificates. I have not rectified them, and if there is a 2 minute difference, the timing would get closer or further away, depending on the result.

I should say that by including all the aspects and planets the table will have over 20 dates. Not all of these dates will produce important events during the year. What they show should be compared with the monthly solar revolutions and monthly profections. In my experience, the conjunction and opposition provide the best timing. Morerover, the rulers of the times take precedence over the other planets. Only a thorough testing of many charts will show which rulers of the times are most important in this method, that is, I mean the annual ones vs the long-term ones.

If possible, I would like the table to be in the the Medieval Forecasting Methods module. Thank you for your consideration. I know you are very busy and are working on other projects as well.

Jean
