Do Sidereal sun sign threshold dates depend . . .

[Guest guest]

As Don noted earlier, you'll have to just bite the bullet and learn a

bit about basic astronomy and the basics of setting up a chart

manually. As to what calendar dates are associated with the start of

a " sign " or when spring starts or when the Sun enters a sign . . .

 

SEVERAL FACTORS contribute to dates often changing relative to when a

specific sign comes into play due to spring starting or the Sun moving

into that sign. DATES AND SIGNS ARE NOT FIXED, they vary from year to

year due to . . .

 

1) The length of our year is fractionally longer than an even 365

days, which is why we have Leap Year every four years. The calendar

date is off by 1/4 of a day each year from the date/time that the

Earth last passed a particular point in its orbital path about the

Sun. So at the end of four years, we have had 365 + 365 + 365 + 366

days to achieve four complete orbits of the Sun (more or less).

 

2) The dates of sign-changes (of the Sun or of the seasons) also

depends upon which states or counties in the US utilize Standard or

Daylight Savings Time and when they switch from one to the other. A

time shift can result in a date being right or being a day off.

 

3) Less common, but possible, it depends upon where your calendar was

printed. Some astrological calendars are printed specific to East

Coast time or Pacific Coast time in terms of when transits and aspects

or sign changes occur. If your calendar was imported from Europe

where GMT is often used, or from China or Autstralia, then its quite

possible that the dates will vary from other calendars due to the time

zones in effect at that other place.

 

Having a basic knowledge of astronomy, astrology, time zones and a few

other related subjects makes this all clearer and elementary. If you

don't take the plunge and learn the basics, then questions such as

this will continually trip you up.

 

Good luck. If you do start on this path you'll find plenty of help. Dave

REPLY:

Why would you need an astrological calendar for 1970 or any other

non-current year? I ask this for a reason as I can't imagine a need

for an old astrological calendar. So, again, I ask, " What do you hope

to do with an old astrological calendar? "

 

There are many other ways to obtain astrological data for any date in

the past or the future, having a calendar for a whole year seems

redundant and perhaps useless.

 

Through the use of other resources, you can:

** Find the planet positions for any date, past, present, future.

** Cast a chart to find the angles, houses, signs and planets in the

combinations that represent you or another person.

** Determine the date and time of day when an equinox or solstice

point occurs for a given location.

** Find when and where a new planetary cycle will occur, or where and

when a given aspect between two planets will occur.

** Track the eclipse path of a lunar eclipse.

 

But, it is highly unlikely that you will find a store with an old

astrological calendar for a given year. And, astrologers don't really

use astrological calendars except to hang on the wall to remind them

of current transit cycles and eclipses and stuff of a general

interest. They certainly aren't useful for casting charts.
