The Origins of the Exalted Degrees

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone.

 

Using Halloran's AstrolDeluxe software, I've attempted to replicate Fagan's

results as given in _Zodiacs Old and New_, regarding the origins of the

" exalted degrees " of the planets.

 

Since Fagan did his calculations by hand, some minor discrepancies are

understandable. However, in order to get his results, I had to use the year

785-784BCE instead of 786-785BCE. This may be due to a glitch in the

software, so I'd like to know what results others get if they try it, too.

 

Using 31N55'06 " and 44E32'28 " as Babylon's coordinates, -2:58:10 Local Time

as the time zone, and with the Sidereal Zodiac, we find the planets at or

very close to their exalted degrees, either appearing just after sunset or

about to disappear just after sunrise, on these dates and at these times:

 

Sun -- 18Ari53, April 3, 786/5, 6:11PM

Moon -- 01Tau59, May 1, 786/5, 5:22AM

Mercury -- 16Vir26, Sept 14, 786/5, 5:37AM

Venus -- 27Pis11, April 4, 786/5, 5:56AM

Mars -- 01Aqu25, February 4, 785/4, 7:03AM

Jupiter -- 15Can20, June 22, 786/5, 6:57PM

Saturn -- 20Lib26, September 23, 786/5, 6:07PM
