Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

It's OK, there's nothing for you to calculate -- I said above or elsewhere whatever I found in my notes, and I know they all refer to the period I stated. The exact numbers aren't very important unless I turn out to be right, which, of course, statistically is unlikely (Trump convicted between June ...

I think the Capsolar rainfall study could easily be shown to be irrelevant by a professional statistician.
The original academic work was done by professional researchers.


Mm-hmm.

1) What was the hypothesis?
2) What data was relevant?
3) Has it ever been replicated?
4) If not, given the ...

You can deal with the math complexities by setting progressions to Q1 to match Clay's preferred rate. Angles are easy to handle, although everything I've seen says the rate is solar arc in longitude for MC then derive the Asc, and that birthplace and locale angles respond more or less equally ...

The Caplunar rainfall study alone is monumental even be academic scientific standards [...]

If I'm reading you correctly, something that matters much (most?) to you is having a coherent theory about things, an elegant model of how the pieces fit together. [...]

You favor the Q1, as best I can ...

is this one of the charts you are looking at with below link. [...] Are you still hand calculating charts or are you using an astro program?

I gave a range of June 25 to July 5, with strongest around July 4, and I mentioned some LR quotidians etc. I don't think I ...

It doesn't make a lot of difference


The error for the "civil day" method in tertiaries (as opposed to my "rotation" method, never mentioned before I published it) is three progressed days per 82 real years, which is a lot.

Also, although I doubt angles are relevant for tertiaries, MAYBE they ...

A while back I said that I don't accept ingress charts (Capsolar, Arilunar, six more-lar, plus progressions including PSSRs, etc.) because I don't think there's a fiducial. You replied that you didn't think there was a fiducial, either, so I think there was a semantic issue confusing things. I don't ...

the squares to Ascendant are the exact ecliptical longitudes of the points that are Zenith and Nadir (intersections of meridian and prime vertical), while ecliptical squares to MC are the longitudes of the points of the Eastpoint and Westpoint (intersections of horizon and prime vertical).


Yes ...

If you want me to use your terminology for your quotidian method for quotidian progression, please let me know the exact terminology you want me to use, for I am not sure.


I didn't say that. I said, if you quote from something I write, don't add anything unless you put it in brackets. You ...

The above Boyd-centered chart is from the December 1991 American Astrology, page 50-51.

Steve's posted link for the chart is very noisy, I assume because it isn't possible to post a pared-down chart. The one in the original article featured four transiting planets (Moon, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto ...

Incidentally, besides "Astrology for the 90s," I also wrote maybe twenty entries of a column called "Radical Astrology" between roughly 1992-95 (under a different name). There's good stuff in those, too (e.g., my chart for Israel, which is also decribed in "Tomorrow's News" sometimes, also under a ...

Steve, it's fine with me if you quote from my articles, provided:

1) You do NOT add anything, except in brackets [like these] -- I never used the expression "Q1", for example.
2) You DO give the month, year, and page from which you are quoting.
3) If your solarfire numbers differ form those I ...

Clarification: these returns are for a July 4 1776 radix.

Yes, PLEASE look at that thread, to spare me re-typing things I said 28 years ago. One note: In the articles, I set up the dichotomy "informational/oracular," pointing out that astrology is the only oracle that incorporates objectively ...

PRIMARY: Multiply A by 0.0001789 HOURS. Add that result IN HOURS (i.e., a fraction of a day) to JR. The result is the Julian date/time of the primary progressed chart. Simpler but the same: Find the RAMC of the radical chart, whether for birth or location. Add 58 minutes 58.3 seconds of RAMC per ...

I know we disagree about rotations versus civil days. As Derrick Kinsolving pointed out about my work, I didn't like using hybrid units -- I argued that only basic units should be used, to avoid noise over signal. A civil day is a hybrid unit; a rotation isn't. We also disagree about the value of ...

Yes, I always expressed it in terms of rotations (earth) and revolutions (sun or moon). Remember, this was 1991 and computer programs weren't very flexible AND people like me didn't have computers. My formulas were pretty much the first of their kind back then, easily done with just an ephemeris ...

If you were able to type out the formulas here, one or more of us could create a spreadsheet for you that would act as a calculator. [...]

Steve, Clay said previously Several notes: I derive progressions (primary, secondary, tertiary) via the formulas I described in the September and October ...

I will go back and re-read as many as your American Astrology articles that I can locate and study your words in this topic, taking detailed notes so I will be in a better position to ask you yes and no questions for a better understanding of your work. Thanks

Thank you for ...

I've found some of my notes for my prediction that the Senate will convict Trump sometime between June 25 and July 5, 2019, with the stronger period centered on July 4. Note, however, that since I no longer write for a national magazine a lot of what I do is just "eyeballing," so I tuck many details ...

Thank you, Jim. Also, about 18.1 degrees for t. Pluto, meaning about 19 days after the LR simple date for the quotidian transit of Pluto to the LR angle, more or less. Glad to see my partile estimate of r. Saturn's angularity was correct, since it is unlikely I'll ever do the tedious math to check ...

For many years I wrote the "Tomorrow's News" article every month for American Astrology magazine. I developed my own techniques based upon what did and didn't work, since I wanted to occasionally make correct predictions (and I did -- not at all rarely). I do not use capsolars or caplunars or any ...

Please see what I wrote above: "the period June 25 to July 5, 2019, with the crucial period centering on July 4th"

Forgot to mention:

The only aspects I use are conjunctions, oppositions, and parans (very occasionally, squares, with low orbs -- mostly in natal or radical charts, rarely in transits or progressions).

Orbs should be at MOST 4 degrees, preferably less than 1.5ish ....

For several months I've kept meaning to slightly modify my prediction above, changing it from "the last few days of June" to the period June 25 to July 5, 2019, with the crucial period centering on July 4th (when, presumably, the Senate would not be in session due to the holiday).

I still don't ...

No, I don't -- I say nothing about Trump other than my comment about his progressed Venus to natal Jupiter.

The math is hard for some of what I'll present, since I use a handheld calculator. I'll try to get around to it within a couple days.

I think the Democrats will win a majority in the House but the Republicans will retain a Senate majority. I also think the House will impeach sometime after it convenes in 2019; and I think the Senate will convict. Astrologically, what surprises me is the delay I foresee – the likeliest time for ...

Only eight days ago Jim posted something about Pluto in Capricorn, and noted the Reformation/Independence reiteration in the 1520s-30s and 1770s-80s. I am struck by this because six months ago I started thinking about a pattern soon to recur that seems related to division and recreation in American ...
