Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 For those of you who are interested in the Crescent Moon program MoonCalc 6.0 by Dr. Monzur Ahmed ,MD Here are two URLs where the latest version of the program can be down loaded. Read the instruction file very carefully. The Crescent Moon time is calculated using option one. http://www.starlight.co.uk/mooncalc http:..www.ummah.org/mooncalc.html Bert Fannin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every since reading Fagan's work on the exaltations, I was thinking that the crescent Moon should be an important chart for mundane work. I've often wondered if it would be possible to exactly calculate something like the first nissan Moon chart, since it seems this is based partly at least on observation (if I understand it right). BTW, I can't get either one of the links for the software to work--they come back with a 'no host' flag. Best, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As regards the Exaltations, it still puzzles me. They indeed work, in that the planets seem more powerful in or near their degrees of exaltation, and weakened in or near the opposite degrees. But why just that year and in that location. If a different year and place had been chosen, the Helical phenomena would have yielded different dates , and hence different degrees of exaltation altogether. Just one of those standing puzzles that I have thought about sense I became a Siderealists. As far as the links are concerned. I do not understand at all. Those were the URLs that were given on the program splash screen. I checked once more on line and here is what I get: http://www.starlight.demon.co.uk/ So you see that the fault was mine after all. I forgot the demon after the starlight and before the co. That is the main page and should link to the calculator download page . If not let me know and I will send the zip file to your email address as an attachment. Sorry for the mistake and inconvenience.

The Hindu's adopted them, with slight changes (total of their degrees equals one of their favorite numbers (108)), but also with no explanations as to their derivation. They do seem to work well, although I take exception to Venus' exaltation in Pisces--I'd prefer Aquarius. > > > As far as the links are concerned.

They are as much so now as then. There must be something to it. The only thing around that time in that location was the dedication of a temple to Nabo (Mercury) I do not think that is enough to impress those degrees of the Zodiac with some sort of affinity with the planets that were heliacally rising and setting then. > <>>The Hindu's adopted them, with slight changes (total of their degrees equals one >of their favorite numbers (108)), but also with no explanations as to their >derivation. That is interesting. What is the significances of the number 108? Still does not account for the timing of the year. why not -784 rather then -785? Why not other then Babylon? Inquiring Minds what to know. > <>>They do seem to work well, although I take exception to Venus' > >exaltation in Pisces--I'd prefer Aquarius.

Good, I am glad that you were able to call up that page. Download the program and try it out. It is basicly a DOS program with a clunky menu, but once you get use to it works. To use the graph of the first-sighting, you do need a good graphic card. Best wishes, Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bert, Yes, I get the feeling that these degrees may antidate the temple dedication--most likely we'll never know, unless of course someone uncovers some long lost tablets that explain otherwise. > > > > <>>The Hindu's adopted them, with slight changes (total of their > degrees equals one >of their favorite numbers (108)), but also with > no > explanations as to their >derivation. > > That is interesting.

There are 108 Upanishads, 108 cheif devotees or gopis of Krishna, 108 beads on a japa mala, 108 names of various Gods and Godesses such as Hanuman, Durga and Ganesha etc.. There is probably a connection also with their time cycles or yuga's, but I can't recall this at the moment. > > > > <>>They do seem to work well, although I take exception to Venus' > > >exaltation in Pisces--I'd prefer Aquarius. > > Why would Venus be more effective with abrasive Uranus rather > then > soft and moist Neptune. Just my personal opinion from experience with persons with the Venus in Pisces vs Aquarius. Venus in Pisces may tend to be more artistic or creative in general, but Venus in Aquarius seems to be a better placement for unconditional love ( a quality I'd be looking for in an exalted Venus). > > > >> > > > >No inconvenience at all, this one works, thank you, I'll check it > out. > > Good, I am glad that you were able to call up that page.

I'll check it out. I already have Starry Night software, that can be set to any location or any year for an observational view, but I'm assuming that this software makes an astronomical calculation of sorts for the position of the crescent Moon.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hi, Hindu exaltation degrees adding up to 108 requires that the exaltation of Rahu & Ketu = 0 degrees...Ourubos is the snake wrapped about the egg. The Hindu had to truncate the western exaltation degrees of certain planets to force this result. Not exactly organic but Saturn schematic. 360 / 108 = 3.3333.
