I would prefer a single edit for every date in stead of day/month/year using timefromstring(). Most scripts work this way and it's easier for the user too.

I'm sure it will be a fine script and i will be happy to release it. Just saying.. Planetdance is growing bigger and bigger and i often have a hard time remembering what is what, where to find things etc. If i have such trouble, how much more trouble will the user have finding her way. Ed we have the honour that our work is used for education and classes, we should be conscious to the overall package we provide.
This is a bit of a rant, i'm really worried about this, people sometimes find planetdance too overwhelming.
Myself it often happens that i get a question and only after some time i remember the relevant stuff.

Looks nice. But Ed we have to take care of feature bloat. It's getting out of hand.
If you ask me, i'd have the request for a fullscreen Ed greek as that will surely please a lot of people.

Hm that does not seem to be a very valid correction. That module was never really put to the test, you are the first to give an opinion.

Fascinating. When i was growing up i loved reading about the planets in encyclopedia and other books, though i never got to that technical astronomy level.

Thanks for contributing!

Hi there. I'm an amateur 'astronomer' and there is a very easy rule that can be employed with both planets and the sun.

Hm i thought i saw something funny in that code when the housesystem is not porphyry nor whole houses, but on second sight it's ok again, the module can only switch between these housesystems.
So i have no idea where that out of bounds comes from.

Tried your data, off course it just works here. I'm afraid this is some hard to track issue.
Ed greek has changed, do you still get an error? On which line?
The extra relocation module is very simple, just asks for a place and recalculates the horoscope. Do you remember getting some error message from it?
Can you try the stuff that does not work on another pc?
The feeling i have is that for some reason your pc just does not agree with planetdance or at least not with some modules.

The dutch help was more comprehensive, here's a translation.
---------------------------
The idea is that you create a database with events so you can compare these by means of progressions / transit to a radix.
Using the big buttons you can change the time for the radix one minute forward or backwards.

Use Database to create or use other databases. Standard is 'correction.db'. 
Use Add to add events to the database so you can compare those times to a radix.
Use Delete / Change to delete or change these events.

Help by T. Sipsma, thanks to W. van Dam & J. Kampherbeek.

Birth time correction.

The best result to correct a horoscope according to Wim van Dam - writer of the book 'Correction of the birth chart' - by releasing primary cuspen in combination with secondary planets and transits on the radixhoroscope on the day of the event.
It must be concrete events, whereby the (PR.) ASC or (PR.) MC must receive one or more aspects.
If the birth time is correct, these aspects will fall within 1 degree.
If the orb is greater and also occurs with other events, then click on the black arrows at the bottom right to adjust the birth time.

Start:
Click on the frame at the top right of the circle on Transit.
Then look at the aspects with the Radix.
Click Wheels / Aspect to view the size of the orb.
Then click SEC / Prim.
In the left column you now see the SEC. Planets with the pr. Cuspens.
Pay particular attention to the aspects of PR. ASC. and pr. Mc. (The 2 last columns) on the Radix and to aspects of SECPlanets on the R.Asc and MC.
Then look at their orbs by clicking on Wheels / Aspect again.

This analysis gives an accuracy of up to 1 degree of the MC, i.e. a birth time to approximately 4 minutes accurately.
One degree shift from the MC stands for approximately 1 year. (This can make a big difference with for instance Tr.Pluto at predictions)

N.B. Please note that the half squares (45 degrees) and one and a half squares (135 degrees) should be included, because they often play a big role according to Van Dam.

For an even more refinement of the birth time, Van Dam advises use annual harmonies. (Read his aforementioned book for this).

For information: According to Van Dam, as opposed to the primary cusps, the primary planets are a dangerous area and secondairy cups move much too quickly to be useful when correcting.
This was published in 1984, the opinion could be changed by now.

Hi,
There is a rectification module at horoscope - extra - correction. You can maintain a database with events and have progressions, transits etc. The method is from W. van Dam, who also invented the van Dam primary progression.

Klik de horoscoop aan die je wil, en doe Bestand - Synastrie - Driewiel. In dat venster, klik op de knop Menu en doe Horoscope 3 - Add Progression Quotidian.
Je kan dit ook met Bestand - Synastrie - Quad wiel doen.
