Hi Ouranos,

What about the natal chart? What orb do you use to determine a planetary picture. Same orb?

Yes, same orb.

**In your paper Comparing Harmonic 256 and 192
Father's death of Caroline of Monaco, Solar Return - you find many occurences with 256 but none with 192.
How do you decide which one is correct? I am playing devil's advocate here.
You say that you search for a planetary picture, which to me is a great step ahead of any other systems. But what if you find it only in 256 and not in the others?

I do not decide which harmonic is correct. The planetary picture we are looking for, can be in harmonic 16,64,256 or, if the birth time is correct to the minute, in harmonic 4096. It is because of the software, because harmonic points of 64 or 256 are not marked in harmonic 16. Therefore, we examine harmonic 16,64,256 and 4096 to see if the person has the planetary picture we are looking for.

The planetary picture we are looking for does not have to be found in all harmonics. If the planetary picture was present in all harmonics, we would not need to examine all harmonics. All harmonics have the equal significance. One is not better or more important than others.

** Is there a reason you do not use Solar Arc?

First, I do not like the directions. Second, I use more than enough progressions, transit,returns, moon phases and so on. I don't think I need solar arc too. Third, zet astrology software does not calculate the solar arcs with sidereal zodiac.

For the link to the German Forum, can I post in English?

I have nothing to do with the forum, you should better ask the forum owner.

Really appreciate all the information you provide on your method.

The planetary picture we are looking for, can be in harmonic 16,64,256 or, if the birth time is correct to the minute, in harmonic 4096.

What about harmonic 4 and 8? Do you find a lot of discrepancy when moving to 32 and greater?

Sidereal zodiac (Krishnamurti Ayanamsa), Mean Node.
23°45'56" for Year 2000. Speed of precession is 50.2388475.

Does the software you use do the precession correction? For example Lewis Carroll born in 1832 is far off from the Krishnamurti Ayanamsa for Year 2000
Znet vs Nova Wheels - Pros and cons?
I have Solar Fire 9.0. Is it reliable enough to reproduce your method?

My mother died of a liver cancer June 8, 1992 at 17h(EDT) in Trois-Fivieres, Quebec, Canada 46N21 72W33
She was born Dec 15, 1929 Unknown birth time (EST) in St-Michel du Squatech 47N53 68W43
I always thought that she was a Mercurian sign (Gemini or Virgo) by her character and the interests she had in her life. In her later years, she owned an hotel and did the administration of it (Mercury conjunct Saturn in Cap).
6 months before she died, my brother and I put her in an end-of-life care.
I followed the transiting Mars/Saturn midpoint and saw that it would go over her approximate Sun during the 2nd week of June. Combined with the Sun transiting opposite her natal Sun in Sagittarius, squares and opposition months being a general lack of vitality for anyone. Plus she was a FM birth.
So I moved to the city where she was 1 week before she died to be by her side. I held her hand when she passed away The midpoint Mars/Saturn had just entered a 1 degree orb to her natal Sun.
Do you think that by knowing her time of death it would be possible to find her time of birth? If so, what planetary picture involving the ASC would you look at?

Thank you,
Ouranos

Correction on her birth date

If you were to use larger orb e.g. 1° or more, you could have used harmonic 4 and 8. But I take at most in harmonic 16 10 minutes orb. If the planets are under the limit of my orb, they will also be seen in harmonic 16. I don't need to look at harmonic 4 and 8 additionally.

Does the software you use do the precession correction?

That is not a precision corrected. It is simple sidereal zodiac with Krishnamurti Ayanamsa. If you would choose Krishnamurti Ayanamsa in different astrology programs, there will always be discrepancies between software. I always give my values that I use, so that you can have equal values, when you make the changes in software settings. Regardless, the planet pictures will remain the same.

For example Lewis Carroll born in 1832 is far off from the Krishnamurti Ayanamsa for Year 2000

It does not matter. The software then calculates previous years as 2000 automatically. You can choose sidereal zodiac with Krishnamurti Ayanamsa. Only the values may differ from each other by a few seconds.

Znet vs Nova Wheels - Pros and cons?

Zet has less harmonic points marked than Nova, but zet is faster and more practical. Biwheel settings of the Zet much better than Nova.
Nova is disastrous for progression calculations and illustrations. I use Nova only for natal charts because of several marked harmonic points.

I have Solar Fire 9.0. Is it reliable enough to reproduce your method?

Yes, if you choose sidereal zodiac and Krishnamurti Ayanamsa. But if solar fire can calculate all harmonics (64,256,1024, 4096,...) that I use, I don't know. I have written to those in 2019 what else should be done in Nova.

Your mother then had in harmonic 16 ; solar NE/PL = r SU for the 12 noon birth time. Solar Jupiter next to solar Pluto shows the liver. For the birth time 14:39 solar NE/PL = r SU would be exact. Of course, it had to be possible to find the right time of birth. However, I have not yet dealt with indeterminate birth times.




For the birth time 14:39 with secondary progression in harmonic 16 :

p MA/SA = p SU difference is zero seconds.

Thank you so much Linchi for all your answers and feedback!
Keep up your good work!
