As I remember (I have a famously bad memory, which is why I'm mainly a

research astrologer rather than a counselor) I felt I was not being

understood correctly. But anyhow, it's in the past. We know we both care

very much about astrology. I truly wish the best for everyone.

 

There is a new sidereal ephemeris that was published in 2001 and is

available through astroamerica.com. It's called THE BETZ EPHEMERIS and it

covers the 100 years from 1940 to 2040. It's printed in the Lahiri

ayanamsa, but it's a simple matter to adjust mentally to the Fagan-Bradley

positions....a lot easier than trying to convert from the Tropical. I

forget what it cost....$30 or $40, but well worth the price.

 

I consider the ephemeris a godsend, even if I have to use a magnifying

glass to comfortably read the compressed print (an error in publishing

judgement, I'd say). But at least all the information is there. The

compressed print allows room for extra information such as the Moon's

latitude, Moon phases and Julian dates. Recommended for anyone who uses the

sidereal zodiac.

 

Although I still use Robert Hand's NOVA to print out my annual ephemeris,

I'm very happy to have the position of the planets calculated and printed

through 2040.

 

The recent tone of this board is NEW to me. I don't quite know what is

going on. Maybe we have some Mars-Uranus-Mercury combos here. Or maybe some

very sensitive Moons. I've noticed that my husband seems overly sensitive

lately. It must be in the stars!!

 

And best wishes to you, Jane...
