heliac phases

[Nefgem]

Hi Ed, 
I asked the question quickly on the site but I can't find if you has made available a choice of heliac rising and setting list with phases on each planet somewhere ?
It would be so usefull for traditional users
but maybe it already exists somewhere

Hi there - there is a menu item with information about the visibility of planets and whether they are rising or setting with respect to the sun in the Ed Greek Horoscope module. This gives some basic information. If you want the actual dates etc when planets become visible with respect to the sun that is something different and not implemented yet. It's a tricky thing to calculate.

yes I saw but I thought that a list of the phases of each planet could be usefull to follow their progress?
ok nice to have already the phases of a chart 
and bravo for the latest additions

Ed could you tell me why in this Chart:
June 11 1973 Paris 6h35pm

Mars is considered to be in Heliac rising. Is it due to an addition of the orbs of the sun (17 °) + Mars (?)
or is it a mistake?
cause Mars seams very far oriental of the Sun

Hi Jeremy - I've checked this chart. In general terms I consider that Mars is heliacally rising. It's oriental of the Sun and the Sun is moving faster so the longitude between the two is increasing daily. This means Mars is seen higher and higher in the sky each night. Mars has still not reached its retrograde station so will continue to rise in this sense for a while longer.

ok I understand, so it will stop being in its heliac rising when it will switches to Retrograde then acronycal, in general term

Hi Jeremy - That's right. This is the sense in which this module describes the various relationships between the Sun and the planets.
