Interesting discussion.
In practice, which method gives the most accurate result from your own experience?
Can we convert this to let's say 3m56.6s of sidereal time for the motion of the ASC? Or any other value from the Sun's motion we choose?

Hi Ouranos ... apologies, missed responding to your post. I have been playing with both the maiora esse and minora esse and often find they are relevant at the time of an event (if you do a quick scroll through my Investigating thread from here on you'll see a few examples of how they often fit in with the 1° OA directions) .

I have ignored Solar Returns up to this point so can't speak to them; I'm in the middle of reading up on how Abu Ma'shar uses them. Will probably start a new thread on them eventually.
