Classic, Medieval, Vedic / Ed Greek Horoscope

« on: September 02, 2020, 08:52:19 AM »

Hi there - Ed Greek Horoscope is due for a re-write. It's nearly three years since Jean and I worked on the original version of the module. It will be a long job to do this, so I am planning to work on it over the winter period.

If you have any feature requests or suggestions please put them in this thread.

The aim will be to include dynamic functionality (see new version of Medieval Traditional Chart) into the module and improve the interface.

The display is likely to include a combination of tabbed data screens with additional windows.

I can't promise to do everything, as the script is already extremely complicated, but do ask for additional features if you think they would add value to the module.

I'd be grateful if you could include sources or references for any techniques you wish to have included.

In order to preserve the integrity of the module, I will include only Hellenistic and classical techniques as the broad aim of the script is to show the horoscope as it might have been used by Greco-Roman astrologers.

Best wishes. Ed

Hi Jeremy - I've seen the facebook post you made about this subject. Could you give some more details please. The calculation seems to be quite like the Ptolemaic primary directions module I did. Thanks. Ed

Astrobasic / string length bug?

« on: August 15, 2020, 07:58:04 AM »

Hi Jean - I found an astrobasic bug (maybe) in the horary script. If the string length exceeds the length set at the variable declaration and the test condition is met, the string doesn't get written to the canvas, but a blank line gets thrown.

In the case below, the if test was met, but the string length was > 66 which I had set with s[66]. The putstring wasn't actioned, but the countLine was incremented. The effect was no string output, but the line was shown blank.

line 2067

 if ((planet_hour = MERCURY or planet_hour = SATURN) && x1 = 1){
     strset(s, "%s", "Planetary hour ruler and ascendant both cold and dry - melancholic");
     putstring(10, 10 + countLine * 30, s);
     countLine += 1;}

I fixed it with s[99] but there was no warning like "string length exceeded" so it took a while to track down the error. It might be helpful to include this warning for coders.

Classic, Medieval, Vedic / Circumambulation through the Bounds Module

« on: July 24, 2020, 07:27:07 PM »

Hi there - update your software to include the latest version of the Circumambulation through the Bounds module:

Horoscope - Classical - Circumambulation through the Bounds: v. 1.51 - now includes choice of four bounds and one deg or naibod arc, helpfile improved and updated

From the Helpfile:

This module is designed to complement the Hellenistic, medieval and early modern period astrology modules in Planetdance.

The module calculates a list of primary directions of the ascendant through the bounds according to the method of Ptolemy. The Ptolemaic key may be used - one year of life for each degree that passes the midheaven. Alternatively the naibod key may be used which is 59 minutes, 8 seconds of arc per annum, which is equivalent to the average daily motion of the Sun.

The list of directions represents the rising of the bounds across the horizon for a period of hours after the birth. The algorithm converts this into equivalent years. Calculations are provided for up to 120 years of human life.

All directions are calculated 'in zodiaco'. This means that the bound cusp positions are taken to be the zodiacal degree (without latitude). However, the declination of the degree occupied by the bound cusp means that the time taken for the aspect to form may be more or less than number of ecliptic degrees between the two points suggests.

Primary directions are a very time sensitive method of forecasting. If the birthtime is inaccurate by four minutes, the directions to the angles will be out by +/- year.

The method may be used to rectify a chart where the birth time is accurately known. However, if the birthtime is not accurately known, alternative methods of forecasting should be preferred.

For further reference, please see Martin Gansten (2009) Primary Directions: Astrology's Old Master Technique. The Wessex Astrologer, Bournemouth.

All algorithms are adapted from Gansten's book.

The text used for the list of directions may be enlarged or reduced by right-clicking in the text frame and selecting fontsize+ or fontsize-.
