This was during the final stretch of the election campaign, so I didn’t have a chance to acknowledge it — and that thank you would surely have been lost in our news blitz of the past three weeks. This note is by way of thank you — and to introduce you to the information we’re now offering.<\/p>\n With this vastly improved custom gadget, we now track the phase of the Moon as well as the positions (in longitude) of the Sun and Moon, the “eight planets,” the mean lunar node (Rahu), the dwarf planets Ceres, Eris and Pluto, the Centaur planet Chiron and the asteroids Pallas, Vesta and Juno. I.e., extremely cool. We LOVE Eris…speaking for myself, I am in love with this living sigil of the postmodern world…and would not cast a chart for anything, including walking the dog, without her.<\/p>\n You may think it’s easy for a programmer to calculate these points; after all, it’s just computers. But someone has to take the ephemeris equation (the set of data that constitutes a “planet”) and then make it run. Then, step by step, it must engage in a mighty digital chatter with many other ephemeris equations for a few moments that must be eminently entertaining if you’re watching from the Sixth dimension. That is called programming.<\/p>\n The further these nuggets of gas and chilled space debris get from the Sun, the more challenging that is. Many programmers (our sources say) cannot tell you what day an aspect happens with true precision much less the hour and minute of certain things with say 500 or 1,000 year orbits. While this particular program does not list aspects, those can be found by looking around the Serennu website. If you are researching planetary cycles (for example, how often is 1992 QB1 conjunct Eris?) you will find it there.<\/p>\n Chironically yours,<\/p>\n With this vastly improved custom gadget, we now track the phase of the Moon as well as the positions of the Sun and Moon, “eight planets,” the mean lunar node (Rahu), the dwarf planets Ceres, Eris, Pluto, the Centaur planet Chiron and the asteroids Pallas, Vesta and Juno.
