Releasing from Fortune and Spirit 1 by Kenneth Johnson For this technique, was Valens using a solar year of 365 days or a mathematical year of 360 days? I seem to remember hearing from either Bob Schmidt or Chris Brennan that it was a 360 day year, but I cannot seem to locate the reference. Does anyone know? Quote Fri Nov 29, 2013 4:50 pm
2 by horarcek 360 day years, 30 day months. The subdivisions are always 1/12th of the level above. I took the Chris Brennan`s course. Trojan Reges Subjucent Legibus Stellarum Quote Fri Nov 29, 2013 6:08 pm
3 by zoidsoft Valens was using a 360 day "ideal" year for this technique. Also he used 27 months for Capricorn instead of the 30 usual for Saturn and when the lots are conjunct to release Spirit from the following sign. I have programmed various options though for testing such as the solar year and whether to do the loosing of the bond after 12 major periods, but having worked with the technique since 1995, I think Valens is right.

4 by Kenneth Johnson Thanks, horarcek and Curtis! It's a beast to do the math by hand, so I will have to drop hints to my friends that Delphic Oracle would be the perfect Christmas present this year! Much thanks for the clarification. Quote Sat Nov 30, 2013 1:58 pm
