Marriage astrology

May I suggest, in view of the above comments and with regard to both today's royal marriage and to other nuptials, that one goes to the articles listed here at Skyscript under the heading 'Electional Astrology', especially to the insightful "Marriage Elections: Comparing Different Rules".

It is fully eleven years since I calculated the time of sighting of the first lunar crescent (NOT sunset!) at Mecca on 15th July 622. Since then I have changed my computer from PC to Apple together with most of the associated software. I therefore now have difficulty replicating the original values ...

Mark: In your Feb 13 note to Juan, after dismissing the validity of the initial sighting of the new lunar crescent?methodology that both he and I use?as a significant moment for the start of a new month or year, you say that you are ?currently looking at lunation and ingress charts for early Islam t...

Mark, you wrote: [quote]"noone denies the role of the visible crescent moon in Islam. It was also very important in pre-Islamic Arabia for calendrical purposes. That is where the Muslims got the idea of adopting Muharram as their first lunar month from. However, you have failed to demonstrate a...

I fear that you are missing the importance of the moment of initial sighting of the lunar crescent at the start of a month or year.

I am unaware of the qualifications of Konrad Elst or for the Wikipedia quotes you give, but Encyclopedia Britannica 15th edition 22 volume (which most trust as an authentic authority) clearly states in the final sentence of the initial paragraph of page 3 : "The Islamic Era (AH or Anno Hegirae)...

Greetings: Moderator Mark has asked me to move a short note I made on the Mars Cazimi stream to this place. In doing so I will expand my comment and frame it in the pattern of this present thread: The era of the Moslem calendar begins on the evening of the Prophet's flight from Mecca to Medina. That...

Greetings: By my calculations the Hegira, the birth moment of Islam as signified by the sighting of the first lunar crescent following the 14th July 622 new moon, occurred at 6:52:40 pm LT (16:13:24 UT) on 15th July 622 at Mecca (21N27, 39E49). At that time the new crescent Moon at 13:12 Leo and a v...
