Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 please answer respected Masters opion! as i have calculated using 360 deg. method and the 12 deg. method using the location of the present chart of the subject locations of Sun moon jupiter and saturn. using the 360 degree method counting from the AC I arrived at two different figures. One of 9.9 yrs. and another of 22.4yrs approximatly using the solar year of saturn as a basis to brings saturns location in line with the points charted on the full circle. question 1. was i correct to count from the AC? midline horizonal question 2. do i take into account the motion of the 360 deg. circle during the 9 yrs cycle which would make a different answer all together? As the circle revolves every 12 years. if i leave the location on the chart it will have moved 3/4 around the circle giving me a totally different answer. question 3. And what mistake must i have made in my figures to come up with such a large difference between the 360 deg. method and the 12 deg. method and please Masters i do understand degrees minutes and seconds r not added as 10s but as 60 equals 1. EXAMPLE: 60"= 1' thank you a devoted and willing student who needs some, i hope, simple clarification. FIGURES DON'T LIE IF I DON'T TRY TO FORCE MY WILL ON THEM THEY WILL ALWAYS GIVE US THE CORRECT ANSWERS! All i have read here in this subject of plotting location has been vaugue to the point of driving me to distraction. Thank you all for your efforts towards this unworthy student and the time it will take to truly answer this question. please exuse the typo's.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Dear April You are unneccessarily getting confused. There are two ways in which the Longitudes of planets are expressed: 1: ..Sign, Degrees, Min., Seconds. 2. Degrees, Min., Sec. If you are using method No1. Reduce the sign by 1, as it is usual to write the degree passed in the sign, where as while adding, we have to consider the signs passed. Total the 4 longitudes, adding all the seconds, convert to MIN. and seconds. Carry over the Minutes > Add all minutes. Convert to Deg. and Minutes. Carry over the Degrees, add all degrees. Covert to degree and signs (1 sign-30 deg). Add all signs. From the total remove 12 signs, till remainder is 12 or less than 12. This gives the critical point in terms of SIGN, Deg. Min If you use the 2nd method, adding seconds, then minutes, (carriing over minutes and degrees), you get the sum in DEG.,Min,SEC. From this total you deduct deg in excess of 360, till residue u\is less than 360. This gives the critical point in DEG. and minutes example: Planet long in S ,D ,M SEC LONG IN DEG. MIN SEC SUN 9 13 43. 28 283 43 28 MOON 8 9 0 19 249 0 19 JUP 4 21 29 51 141 29 51 SAT 9 24 15 36 294 15 36 ------------------------- SUM 32 68 109 134 968 109 134 --------------------------- -ddt 24--------------- 720 final 8 8 49 14 248 49 14 This means the Long of critical point is at 248 degrees 49 m. 14 sec or in sign of 9(Sagitarus) at 49 m 14 min. I hope this clears the doubts APRIL MAC FADDEN <aprilmacfadden > wrote: please answer respected Masters opion! as i have calculated using 360 deg. method and the 12 deg. method using the location of the present chart of the subject locations of Sun moon jupiter and saturn. using the 360 degree method counting from the AC I arrived at two different figures.
