Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Dear JHora members. I am trying to find an online sidereal ephemeris. Many western astrological sites offer tropical ephemeris but not sidereal. I do not find anything from a google search. One sidereal ephemeris I use is from: http://www.lightonVedic Astrology.com/ephemeris.htm This shows the year ahead but does not include the outer planets. It also defaults for GMT at midnight. I would suggest someone use GMT at noon. That way anyone west or east of GMT would only need to adjust the time plus or minus to see the time on the same day. I will see the moon on this calendar for today, Dec 6, for example at 21:30 AQ UT, but it is then a complicated process to subtract from UT to find the time in my own time zone. I used a 10-year sidereal ephemeris that a vedic astrologer (Michael Mahesh Taft) placed in an excel table, and he might have been able to use the Astrodienst site http://www.astro.com/cgi/swetest.cgi?arg=-h & p=0 to do it, but I am not a programmer and do not know how to create it. This was an excellent ephemeris that I could check from any computer, but it ends this year, and Michael does not plan to do a new ephemeris. I would like to have the online version of the American Sidereal Ephemeris 2001-2025 by Neil F. Michelsen but this site shows only a sample page to advertise the book, and I have not been able to find it online http://www.astroamerica.com/sidereal.pdf. I wish astrodienst would allow a simple method similar to their extended chart selection that enables a user to use an ayanamsa like Lahiri to get a vedic astrological chart instead of one that uses the tropical ephemeris, but astrodienst is anti-sidereal. If anyone has any suggestions for finding an online sidereal ephemeris, please let me know. I prefer to see a few years ahead without doing elaborate calculations, and the only jyotish program I have is Jhora. I do think if anyone has the capability and the interest, it would be possible to charge a small amount for a calendar. Michael's was free as are most ephemeris I see online. But it is not that convenient to transport a book, especially since I do so much work online, so an online version would be helpful. I am surprised that sidereal astrologers have not done this. Thanks, Janna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
