Half points calculated from Aries zero degrees
« on: October 03, 2024, 12:31:28 PM »
Hello, I'm looking for a helper function in Planetdane to automatically display the halving points from the sun to the other planets, from the Aries point.

I already know the Data and Midpoints function.

The reason is the birth time correction method according to Bonati.

Something like this?
It's the transit for noon CET today.

For Example Uranus is 14? 49? in scorpio, I need the number of degrees from zero point Aries to Scorpio 14 degrees 49 minutes.

(Why are my questions never understood, is my English so bad?)

I don't remember previous posts but you are not clear no.
Uranus at the moment is at 26 taurus.

Perhaps this will help you:
To display the distance in degrees of the planet from 0? Aries you can use e.g. strset(s, "%2a", planet[URANUS]);.
For the distance between the sun and uranus either d = normalize(planet[SUN] - planet[URANUS]); for 0-360?
Or d = distance(planet[SUN], planet[URANUS]); for 0-180? (shortest distance). Depending on how you need it.
Then strset(s, "%2a", d); for degrees and min or %3a for degrees, min, sec.
The help function a very good .If that was your question, Jean will certainly be able to help you.

Hi Volker,
Sure I already did that.
There's also a midpoint() function.

October 3
+ On request added Horoscope - Midpoints - Bonati.

Let me know if it works.

I'm looking for the radian measure from zero degrees Aries to a specific point X on the circular arc, unit in degrees.

X = The midpoints from the table that I posted as a screenshot or (the new Bonati Function in Horoscope/Midpoints)

Is that perhaps understandable?

I've changed it, it now displays pure angles.
If still not right, ask volker.

I can only repeat it, the help function is very good.
Use in the function strset %3a instead of %1a  and you will have the value in whole degrees from the arispoint to the midpoint x.
I can't do more for you.

I've used %2. The rest is the same.

@planatwosky, in stead of complaining you should tell more about what you want, if you see me post a screenshot with a distance expressed in longitude / sign, why don't you tell me you want straight distances. Would help me more than complaining. In other words, be more clear, give examples of what you want, etc.

Hello, that's what I asked, thanks. The procedure is a bit more complicated though. To avoid being misunderstood, I've attached screenshots.
You need 2 halving points.

It's not clear enough for me. I have to search for what you want. Some formulas scribbled onto some papers won't do it, sorry.

As far as I understand it now, it's about determining the nearest sun-half-sum to the axes in order to make a birth time correction with the half-sum - right?
Perhaps it would make more sense to ask Ed if he could include something like this in the cosmobiology module.
Or do you want to make your own module?
I haven't yet understood what exactly your intention is.
I would also need more information, e.g. which book the pages are from.
I have made a small module, maybe that will help you as a starting point. 
I don't want to invest any more time for now. Sorry.

I also don't have much time for this now.

Aries midpoints are included in the cosmobiology module. Ed
