Sidereal Transit Calendar

[Guest guest]

Hi Mark: I saw that you mentioned a '2009 Transit Calendar " in a recent post. Is

this also

available electronically? I have been trying to find an online sidereal

ephemeris. Many

western astrological sites offer tropical ephemeris but not sidereal. I do not

find anything

from a google search.

 

One sidereal ephemeris I use is from:

http://www.lightonVedic Astrology.com/ephemeris.htm

This shows the year ahead but does not include the outer planets. It also

defaults for GMT

at midnight. I would suggest someone use GMT at noon. That way anyone west or

east of

GMT would only need to adjust the time plus or minus to see the time for a

particular

planet's location on the same day. I will see the moon on this calendar for

today, Dec 6,

for example at 21:30 AQ UT, but it is then a complicated process to subtract or

add from

UT to find the time in my own time zone (which is EST).

 

I used a 10-year sidereal ephemeris that a vedic astrologer (Michael Mahesh

Taft) placed

in an excel table, and he might have been able to use the Astrodienst site

http://www.astro.com/cgi/swetest.cgi?arg=-h & p=0 to do it, but I am not a

programmer

and do not know how to create it. This was an excellent ephemeris that I could

check from

any computer, but it ends this year, and Michael does not plan to do a new

ephemeris.

 

I would like to have the online version of the American Sidereal Ephemeris

2001-2025 by

Neil F. Michelsen but this site shows only a sample page to advertise the

book, and I have

not been able to find it online http://www.astroamerica.com/sidereal.pdf.

 

I wish astrodienst would allow a simple method similar to their extended chart

selection

that enables a user to use an ayanamsa like Lahiri to get a vedic astrological

chart instead

of one that uses the tropical ephemeris, but astrodienst is anti-sidereal.

 

If you or anyone of your members on your lists has any suggestions for finding

an online

sidereal ephemeris, please let me know. I prefer to see a few years ahead

without doing

elaborate calculations, and the only jyotish program I have is JHora.

 

I do think if anyone has the capability and the interest, it would be possible

to charge a

small amount for an online calendar. Michael's was free as are most ephemeris I

see

online. But it is not that convenient to transport a book, especially since I do

so much

work online, so an online version would be helpful. I am surprised that sidereal

astrologers have not made this available, but thought I would ask since you

mentioned a

2009 transit calendar.

 

Thanks,

Janna
