I also get the 4.788 arc now - I used 118.15W and 34.3N (the directions prepared for me in Placidus used 118.25W and 34.067N - not sure why...please also direct me to your website - while I am preoccupied for the present with nastier - ie reality-based - issues, I'd like to think I may get some time...

Hi Martin, I now get the same 37.318 as you report - not sure why there is still some discrepancy - can't understand how two programs could calculate different values for the lunar and asc lat/long?? Many thanks for your help and I am a fan (and owner of your excellent work on this) I am a little su...

Hi, ZG is a code in the leftmost column of the Placidus printout under the heading "Dir" - I suppose it designates zodaical directions and something else - dunno. I have morinus 3.9 primaries set to Placidus semi arc, both lats, asp of proms to sigs only, only using ASC and MC as significa...

Primary disagreement - Morinus vs Placidus Hi, I recently had my chart rectified by a real astrologer (as distinguished from me) and he used a list of zodiacal primaries generated by Placidus - I believe he used latitude for both promissor and significator - Placidus give a code of ZG for the direction - I cannot get Morinus to generate anyt...

I am a hoary (not horary) pc user (back to dos 2.1) but am surrounded by MACFanatics: I know nothing about using/compiling source code, but know you can't run an exe file on a mac, so a) you need to learn how to install the source code version from a brighter individual than I (there are many such) ...

I (in my nearly limitless ignorance) agree. Based on my experience, an afflicted malefic is an unhappy malefic. I am blessed not only with mars in cancer, but saturn in leo. Mars has minor dignities, saturn is an abject b-----d. Mars in exile seems more misdirected - (not misunderstood, poor dear. R...

Cosmos & Psycyhe Is there a thread somewhere in the attic on Tarnas' book? - I'm betting it got some attention and I'd like to read the comments. Tarnas is not the most scintillating author but he does have an approach and I'd love to hear what others had to say.
