Graphical transits and other bits

bogdan — Tue, 06 May 2008 14:44:25 GMT

Urania 1.87 version "out of the oven", after 2 weeks of testing... Still more things TODO than DONE, but progress at last. Bar graph transits list for month improved and error with transit mercury to transiting bodies corrected (when incorectly mercury's bar sometimes started at the beginning of the month). New types of line in acg, like planet on horizon direction lines for natal place, house pos to ecliptic pos natal lines, Part of Fortune line (for now PoF has to be manually activated again after the map has been opened in "View->Active objects"; for future version I will add cancellable progress bar). So with PoF done any object internally defined or user defined line can be shown on the map. Properties window for acg reworked. Possibility to choose any body in tabular ephemerides. In dialog to choose chart form (Settings->Options, tab Charts) now added preview, how the wheel looks like. More info: http://www.astrologia.pl/urania-en.html

Climate change and Proserpina/Kora

Astronomically dwarf planet 2003 UB313 / 136199 "Eris", astrologically planet Persephone/Proserpina/Kora. Symbol: cross over circle (matter over spirit), cross decorated with additional smaller crosses. "Astrological meanings" proposed from the name "Eris" in the USA do no fit to the nature of this new planet. Observed in charts it''s most similar to sign of Taurus. Few polish astrologers, among them Jarosław Gronert and me, made research on this*, and most of us researching it in Poland settle on the names Persephone/Proserpina/Kora. And more, the more deep reason for haste with it's announcing in 2005 in restropection now three years later is better understood. The summer of 2005 was the first summer where 1/8 of the arctic (north) polar cap melted, this meltdown reaching as much as 25% in the summer of 2007. Climate change is now confirmed as one of the most profound keywords for this new planet, and in common words "The Spring" is one of her basic meanings. Btw the season before spring in Taurus - times in Pisces/Aries are quite violent season of the year (especially in countries where rivers flow from south to north like Poland); and she is now still in Aries... --- * Jarosław Gronert "Astrologia od początku" 2007 Pabianice, Poland, see more at: www.jarekgronert.pl
