I've been using the calc. formula from American Sidereal Ephemeris;

Fagan, at the end of his life, began using the Neo- prefix to designate quotidians based on apparent Sun as the argument rather than mean Sun.

SQ and SNQ are secondary progressions increasing at the RAMS (mean Sun or linear) rate.

Neo-SQ and Neo-SNQ are secondary progressions increasing at the variable RAAS (Sun's right ascension, or non-linear) rate.
