I want to do this: calculate the time of a solarOrlunar return, then go to a

free site and get the " nativity " of that Return time. HOW do i calculate the

time between ephemeris sun/moon and natal. Sadly (and this is REALLY Bad!) I

don't know my birth sun/moon at HoursMinsSecs. Born Jan 4, 1944; weymouth

MASS; 0457 WARTIME. Any help will be appreciated. /// THANKS!

If your astrology software won't do this for you, you need new

software.

 

But, if you have to do it by hand, here's how:

 

First, find the sidereal longitude of the natal sun.

 

Next, using a sidereal ephemeris, find the day on which the sun

returns to that position (it won't necessarily be on the birthday).

 

Determine how far the sun moves that day, and how far the sun will

have moved between the beginning of the day and the Solar Return

time. Divide this second quantity by the first.

 

(The easiest way to do this is to divide the seconds by sixty, and

add them to the minutes, then divide the minutes by sixty and add

them to the number of degrees. This is how to convert DD*MM'SS " to

DD.dddddd.)

 

If you divide the DD.ddddd... of the Solar Return Sun minus the Sun's

DD.ddddd... at the beginning of the day by the DD.ddddd... of how far

the sun moves that day, you'll get a percentage. Multiply that

percentage by 24. This will give you HH.ddddd... Subtract the HH and

multiply 0.ddddd... by sixty. This will give you the MM.ddddd for

HH:MM. Subtract MM from this number and multiply 0.ddddd... by sixty

to get the SS for HH:MM:SS. Add this to the HH:MM:SS of the

ephemeris time, and you'll have the the time of the GMT time of the

solar return.

 

Convert to local time, and there you are.

 

Later,
