4. of the node degrees and decimal degrees and either use the negative of it or subtract it from 360 and then enter that value as the ayanamsa offset This could just as easily be done using the sidereal chart as the starting point in which case applying the ayanamsa offset only if the sidereal mode is in use would be acceptable For that matter it shouldn t be too difficult to add a Draconic option because all you d need to do is 1 calculate the North Lunar Node first 2 subtract it from 360 3 set a new internal variable to that offset and 4 calculate each object position and apply the offset to it This way we could switch back and forth between tropical sidereal and Draconic charts by simply selecting which zodiac to use without the need to manually reset the ayanamsa offset each time Primary directions Regarding the different methods of calculating primary directions think the basic calculations conjunctions to the angles are the same but there can be variations depending on 1 whether we re using the mundane or the zodiacal positions and 2 whether we re using the natal planets with the directed angles or the directed planets with the directed angles Aside from that the only difference is 3 the rate used to convert the arc into time Here are my thoughts on these issues 1 There can be a command switch or check box to let the user choose between mundane or zodiacal directions 2

7. Likewise there is already a switch in the Transits window which can also be used to do progressions to let the user choose between Transit To Natal Hits or Transit To Transit Hits so that could be used with the primary directions just as it is used with progressions 3 There is a dropdown box to let the user choose the progression or direction rate so that can be used to let the user select between the different rates of primary directions Note that some of these methods involve rates that vary similar to the way that true Solar arcs have a varying rate The other types of primary directions the aspects to the angles or from planet to planet as well as various types of parallels would be more involved and some of them depend on the house system Therefore 4 The choice of house system could be used as a controlling factor although it might be preferable to keep this as a separate switch Frankly think it might be interesting to tie this with the house system because then we might be able to do primary directions using methods that no authorities have ever proposed such as the Neo Porphyry system of primary directions or something like that just for fun or experimentation Michael Rideout Configurable moving bodies There should be a way to enable a user to define up to 12 extra asteroids or planetoids such as Sedna Chariklo Eros whatever This feature would use the corresponding Sw
8. and I m not certain what calculation method was used However there is a close correspondence between the planetary hours and the Placidian house system as follows 1st hour begins when the Sun is at the 1st house cusp 3rd hour begins when the Sun is at the 12th house cusp 5th hour begins when the Sun is at the 11th house cusp 7th hour begins when the Sun is at the 10th house cusp 9th hour begins when the Sun is at the 9th house cusp etc These correspondences aren t exact because of the way the equal planetary hours are calculated versus the way the Placidian cusps are defined However this does suggest that we could use the Sun s conjunctions with the Placidian cusps to get the proportional planetary hours and that may be how Prima did it don t know and can t check because don t own that program For the even numbered hours we would use the times when the Sun is at the middles of the Placidian houses not the midpoints of the cusps but the midpoints as determined by the rational semi arc mundane positions which are sort of like the Campanean mundoscope positions but for the Placidian system Furthermore there is a close correlation between the Placidian house system and the Gauquelin sector chart except the Gauquelin chart uses 36 divisions instead of 12 and places the planets in the sectors according to their own semi arcs rather than using the Sun s semi arcs for all planets Note that the Swiss Ephemer

13. e wish list category for future versions of Astrolog For my work and the work of all those who use the cardinal points in their work which includes Hamburg School astrologers as well as Harmonic astrologers the ability to increase the planet set to include these points is essential to serious astrological work The redefinition of existing points by using the F switch is not sufficient because it requires the changing of other glyphs to be other things which forces an unacceptable tradeoff The planet set needs to be increased to allow more points to be defined permanently through the astrolog dat file In modern astrological work the ability to measure aspects or harmonics to the cardinal points is very basic and as far as can tell is still not possible in Astrolog after all these years The inclusion of this would greatly increase the usefulness of Astrolog There have been many efforts to increase the number of fixed stars and this may indeed point to the way of implementing the more basic change of allowing the cardinal points a permanent place as points With the Astrolog32 program maybe this is already possible The documentation may not have caught up with the program Maybe am missing something and this problem has already been addressed Please advise Michael Jordan 1357 antiscions and contraantiscions Another related shortcoming of Astrolog is that antiscions and contraantiscions are still missing from
14. ed up with printing the number of degrees and minutes as most programs do However sometimes it would be useful to do just this putting an Astrolog chart on an overhead projector does cause problems because people generally can t read the planet positions on the sidebar An option to display degrees and minutes on the chart itself and would strongly recommend displaying the minutes in a smaller font than the degrees to avoid confusion the number of times I ve seen someone comment on a Solar Fire chart only to realise later that they meant 19 degrees and 6 minutes not 6 degrees and 19 minutes would be really handy Chris Mitchell Multiple Windows don t suppose it s trivial to have a Window choice on the menu where Astrolog could show more than one chart at a time would it With the ability to Tile Chris Mitchell Stationary indication To be added to charts in graphics and text mode Suggestion But if we display sr or sd which think would be a great idea then we might want to add a new command switch to set the number of hours within which to check for the planetary stations perhaps with a default of 24 That is suppose that T is the time that s input for the chart and H is the offset hours for the station test If the planet is direct at times T H and T H then we display a space after the planet s position or rather 2 spaces as the planet is direct and isn t within H hours of a station Likew

29. rker yellow for instance so it prints out OK so from that point of view it makes sense to redefine Yellow as a darker yellow so that whenever you specify yellow it will produce a darker yellow However could never get that to work anyway and the only way could get dark yellow was by changing all occurrences of yellow to orange Besides this is a set up that most people will only do once so it s not exactly a load of trouble to have to change all four occurrences of yellow to orange for instance Now what would be nice is to have a decent colour selecter so instead of saying Square followed by a drop down box where you can select a colour like Red would be to have Square followed by a coloured blob that you could click on and select a colour directly and storing the choice as three R G B components This way you could have real orange instead of dirty yellow and you could have nice bright charts Chris Mitchell Monochrome wallpaper If one does a monochrome chart then changes the black colour to something else then saves as wall paper the saved area will be a white square Automatic colour What would be even nicer is if a chart printed out on white anyway without reversal for printing having to reverse it I haven t dared try this printing a chart uses an entire ink cartridge if you forget to reverse it did try mapping black to white and vice versa in an ear

36. y Modify Navamsa 9 Display objects in their zodiac navamsa positions This command switch will display the chart in the navamsa format used in Vedic astrology The navamsa or marriage chart is formed by applying a formula to each planet position to get a resulting new location This is similar in operation to the 3 decan feature however this divides each sign into ninths Specifically to convert a position see which ninth of a sign a planet falls in e g a planet from 0 degrees 0 to 3 degrees 20 of a sign is in the first ninth a planet from 3 degrees 20 to 6 degrees 40 is in the second ninth and so on Take that number and count one less than that many signs ahead in the zodiac to get the resulting sign The starting sign should be Aries if the original sign was Fire Capricorn if the original sign was Earth Libra if the original sign was Air and Cancer if the original sign was Water A formal navamsa chart only considers signs hence only the sign of each planet will be changed the degree within each sign will be unaffected response That s almost accurate A proper hindu chart should use one of the two forms on which the planet s names are put into the proper sign or house same thing since they use whole sign The degrees and minutes are not usually put into the chart at all If they do put the degrees and minutes in the chart it will be the correct degrees and minutes after the mul
