findaspect()
« on: July 29, 2024, 05:53:00 PM »
Hi there - I'm struggling to work out how to set the findaspect() function to identify transits to housecusps.

Quote
Finds all kinds of planet events like aspects in/out/exact, retro/direct, cunjunctions with housecups.
From the Help.

There are up to 20 options, but none of them list housecusps and only 11 are listed.

Quote
Options:
0 do retro, set this to 2 to include post/pre events.
1 do inout
2 sign
3 blockno
4 orb
5 sid
6 dec
7 doob
8 zeromax
9 exit after first find ingress
10 void of course.
11 negate retro longitudes

Thanks for any help. Ed

hi Ed,
findaspect() does not do cusps, but findaspectx() does them.

Where do you see 20 options?

Ah i see it, those options are for future use.

Thanks Jean - I thought as much. I will have to have another look at findaspectx() again. Ed

Rereading your question, findaspectx() can tell when planets enter houses, but it does not find aspects with housecusps. There is no function that does that (yet). What exactly do you need?

Hi Jean - I'm doing some work with Flower.ab and I would like to include information about when planets enter houses using diurnal horoscope calculations. Essentially, this means calculating the horoscope for the date and time of birth for each day in the year, and then looking for any planets (say) within 1 degree of the cusp of a house. I've tried various methods to get this working but so far no luck. I think findaspectx() should do it but I'm struggling a bit with it.

findaspectx() should do that. Set options[0] to 1 and you get events of type 2 when a planet is conjunct a cusp, it does only conjunctions. You can see it working in horoscope - list if you select Cusps.

Edit, of course findaspectx uses houses from a static radix. There is no function that searches transits and does housecusps. There's only findascmc() i think that operates on transit cusps.
