But there is a way to print the list of directions?
you will add Placido's directions too?

Hi Margherita,

You can save the PD-list to a textfile and then print them with any text editor like notepad.
Just right click on the PD-list. Of course, it is alos possible to save to a bitmap and then print the image.
I am not planing to add printing to Morinus(bitmap, text).

Maybe you mean Under The Pole by Placido. Yes, it is on my todo-list.
Ayanamsha is ready and will be soon uploaded with the Secondary Motion of the Moon.

I'm playing a little with your software...

What about hourly distance and temporal hours in Placido positions table? It could be possible to have them too?

Well, we have to draw the line somewhere. There are so many things that could be added to this program. Maybe later

Well, considering that in order to calculate primary directions hourly distance and temporal hours are needed it would be useful, no?

There are so many astrological softwares and if a poor girl should calculate things here and there- for example I did a spreadsheet- it becomes complicate using several tools and software. On the other hand it would be useful to have a software which can do everything is needed...see what you can do, please

I think that the temporal hours(TH):
TH = 15degrees+AD/6
if the body is above the equator.

I don't remember using the TH in the PD-calculations, of course the AD is used

It is possible that I misunderstand something since I am quite new to PDs(I have always used revolutions and secondary directions).

Let's say now i need a little of help- I'm not exactly the genius of primary directions

I use this formula (from Marco Fumagalli book published by CieloeTerra).
I'm sure it should be mentioned by Kolev, or so I hope
We have two planets far from meridian HD and HD' , where HD is the hourly distance, i.e. the distance from the nearer meridian (in hours)
HD= meridian distance/ Temporal hour

now this the direction:

arc of direction= (HD' -HD) * Th

Example: (it's one I have checked so I'm sure it's right)

Mercury to the Moon (where Mercury is in 7th house and Moon in the 5th house)

Mercury: HD 5,1976 TH 14,450481 (night temporal hour= 30-14,450481=15,549519)

Moon= HD 3,857810

Mercury arc till Desc: (6-5,1976)*14,450481=11,5938

Mercury from Descendant to the Moon (6-3,857810)* 15,549519=33,310024

so the arc of direction is 11,5938+ 33,310024= 44,9038

with Morinus:

Or I'm wrong in something? It's not impossible

So if you can list even this data - hourly distance and temporal hour- could be useful for calculate primary directions by hand, or check data, I believe.

I know that there is Horizon Distance in the Speculum of Placidus. I didn't add it to Morinus because I think that it is very easy to calculate from the data in the Speculum. However, I agree that showing it would be a plus. So, I will add it later. I have no time now.

The program was/is tested against the results of Placidus.
A great thanks goes to Petr not only for testing but also for his guidance.

Hi,

There was a question realated to the installation of Morinus:

There is no installer of Morinus. Windows programs usually have installers: when the user clicks on the .exe file the installer starts and asks the user where to copy the program(e.g. C:/Program Files...) and creates an icon on the desktop. These programs have uninstallers as well. The data(the path(e.g. C:/Program Files...)) is written into the Windows Registry during the installation.
Morinus doesn't get installed on your system(Operating System, or winchester!?). After downloading the MorinusWinEng.zip file and unzipping it there will be a MorinusWinEng directory created. Clicking on the Morinus.exe file starts the program, so there is no installer. Deleting the MorinusWinEng directory is like uninstalling. Of course you can also create a link to Morinus.exe and copy it to your desktop, so you will have an icon of Morinus on your desktop.

Of course, it would be possible to create an installer for Morinus but that should be tested on every versions of Windows(2000, XP, Vista, Win7) but I wanted to concentrate on the Astrological part of the program.

Hi,

I observed the necessity to uninstall the software before installing the new version otherwise program does not start. So I deleted MorinusWinENg directory and unziped the new one in the selected directory.

Dont forget to save .hor files before.

OS Windows XP SP2.
