Send reply to: Physics_of_ I echo Dave's question. Somehow, Fagan took the symbolic progression rate of 24 hours, then seemingly willy-nilly tacked on 6 hours (from real time) onto the progression calculation. The lack of a rationale for this has discouraged me from spending time trying the PSSR - despite recommendations from Fagan and Eshelman.

Dave. Hi, Count me in with Fagan, Eshelman and Dave. Specifically I want to second Dave's opinion of the P.S.S.R. It doesn't always work but then sometimes when you've got, say, a lunar and an anlunar that cover the same period when something important has happened, the angles of one of them are directed to the right planet on time and one of them is not; and sometimes they both come to the same planet on different angles at the same time. But because one of them worked and the other didn't, you don't discard the technique that failed to show the event because it doesn't show it every time. A good recent example of the power of the P.S.S.R. is Bush's election last November. I'll show the little sums involved here so people can see exactly what I'm talking about. 22h 02m 54s: R.A.M.C. 2004 SSR at Washington D.C. _+9h 26m 47s_: P.S.S.R. increment 31h 29m 41s _-24h 00m00s_: since the increment takes us beyond 24 hrs 07h 29m 41s: sidereal time of P.S.S.R at Washington D.C. 07h 28m 09s: Bush's natal Jupiter rises at Washington The P.S.S.R. increment was calculated for 11:00 p.m. EST on 11/2/2004 which is the moment when the polls on the west coast and it became apparent that Bush was going to win, inasmuch as Kerry won Minnesota at 11:00 p.m. but not Ohio--the margin of victory. So my point is that Bush's Jupiter rising at Washington- -where the president actually was--not Texas, is good symbolism for what happened to him: elation, celebration, success, victory. He had some pretty awful transits in play but the P.S.S.R. suggested otherwise as did ALL the progressed angles or static angles of his lunars that were relevant to election day. That is, the lunar, demi-lunar, anlunar and demi- anlunar. Bush's natal Jupiter wasn't quite as close to the P.S.S.R. angle as the figure above suggests. Sidereal time is reckoned in right ascension, an equatorial coordinate, which is therefore subject to precession, unlike sidereal longitude. When his natal Jupiter is ex-precessed, those ex-precessed coordinates make his natal Jupiter rise at Washington with a sidereal time of 7h 31m 31s. But that still makes the contact pretty close: only 1m 50s of sidereal time which is less than a half degree. I'd say that's efficacious.
