Dynamic PSSR and SQ for SF5

[Guest guest]

About a year ago I worked out a way to watch angles move in the dynamic

mode for the PSSR and SQ charts for users of Solar Fire 5.

 

 

SF5 will calculate the PSSR for any date, but you cannot watch the

angles move in dynamic fashion. There is no way to calculate the SQ rate

in Solar Fire, but the old Nova software, whch runs in DOS will do this.

 

Here's the way to do this, for anyone interested:

 

1. Calculate the regular Solar Return as usual

2. Place this chart in a dynamic bi-wheel

3. Adjust the outer chart of the bi-wheel to the exact date and time of

the SR--so that you are looking at two identical charts now in the

dyamaic mode.

4. Set the increment to the hour mode (as opposed to minute, day, year

etc.)

5. Delete the " 1 " to the left of the hour button and in it's place type

in:

A. For PSSR rate: .082555219

B. For SQ rate: .065712777

 

 

Once this is done, one click of the button moving forward in time will

equal one day of travel of the angles at either the PSSR or SQ rate.

 

The only drawback for this is you will have to keep track of the days as

you click the button, the regular day counter will not reflect the

appropriate day becasue of our decimal input.

 

The numbers for this were derived from Fagan's Primer. I've checked

both rates and they are fairly good on accuracy. The SQ rate was checked

against Nova when I had that up and running.

 

One difference--I believe Fagan calculated planetary momement of the

progressed charts using Secondary Progressions--here they will move at

the respective PSSR or SQ rate. The only differenence you will notice

will be in the Moon , which will move a bit faster than the Secondary

rate.

 

Best,
