ASTROLOGY AND SCIENCE
If there are sources not confirming to the real positions of the planets in the true sky,
they are not criticised as they pertain to sheer superstition.

SUN SIGN
In our times, people are tossed to and fro between various “astrological systems”, where there is really no occasion for confusion as concern the true position of the natal planets. We have authoritative sourcesi as approved by astronomers all over the planet. There is no need to go anywhere else.
NASA SUN EPHEMERIS
In order to popularize the science of astrology, we have variously animated and published the ephemerides for the Sun, the planets and objects of interestii. The most basic ephemeris for us is the Sun ephemeris as observed from planet Earth. This ephemeris confirms to the true position of the stars as first step towards ancient knowledge and wisdom.

SUN
The motion of the Sun as measured against the tapestry of stars shows that the Sun is in Libra on November 23rd. A quick inspection will have the Sun crossing over into thin Scorpius from Lambda Libræ towards HD142686 in Scorpius. This being no news to the astronomer, might be of interest to peole genuinely interested in basic astrology.
SCORPIVS
On November 23rd, the Sun enters Scorpius in order to dwell in that part of the ecliptic for a week, before its sojourn in Ophiuchus. It is in Sagittarius for Xmas and New Year.
VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
The lunar house systems, such as practiced in Egypt, India and China are valuable contributions to astrology. Moreover the Chinese equatorial and Mayan systems are, to say the least, amazing innovations as concern the science of astrology, or astronomy as it is called today. Furthermore, original systems like Hopi and Navajo astronomy make part of our cultural heritage. On inspection, one will find wisdom from Guam to Hawaii as well. Sikkim is of utmost interest with its expansion of the 9x9x9 system. We would folio volumes to enumerate and present the various approaches to precession calculus and observation of the nether constellations in ritual, a natal horoscope, as well as navigation.
ASTROLOGY
Depending on the system used, one can apply several signs or constellations of correction to one's own calculus. The best way to do so for the Sun is to use the NASA Sun ephemeris, an authoritative source of information, on which every astrological program is in fact based before it is mangled for the purpose of general superstition. Some astrological programs will in fact propose the IAU system along with a primitive planetarium.
THE GAP
That there is a gap between true sky and popular superstition is a well known and discussed subject. What is new to the incipient astrologer is that the gap is larger than declared. Sai Baba celebrates His birthday with Sun in Libra on November 23rd. Let us see the implications.
FROM LIBRA TO SAGITTARIUS
It is a long way from Libra to Sagittarius, almost quarter a sky, as the Sun travels through Scorpius and Ophiuchus before reaching Sagittarius. Here we are speaking of more than three sign error. Libra, Scorpius and Ophiuchus are three constellations.
TWO SIGNS OF ERROR
Luckily, the general error is mostly two signs only, not quarter of the sky. Thus, if you have been told you are “Scorpio”, you are probably Virgo; your natal Sun is in Virgo.
THE DAMAGE
Albeit our choice might be to ridicule credulity and laugh at the self-proclaimed gurus in the area, a tradition such as Indian would have some contempt, as there s lot to do about astrology in order to align with the real skies. We simply can not afford for one quarter of sky of error. The Chinese would be dreaded to have such an error as their basic orientation completely depends on the four symbolic animals.
GLOBAL EXORCISM
Global reformation of the zodiac or zodiacs, to allow for cultural differences and preserve valuable tradition, is in the hands of the citizens of this planet. The IAU in fact has astrology among its topics. The Academic Zodiac is merely a part of global exorcism, with its scientifically proven 22 zodiacal constellations. On the other hand, the present ascendant set is easily demonstrable in the real sky as well in astronomic simulations.
ASCENDANT
The ascendant set is 12 signs only in popular credulity. In the real sky there is no credulity but the real stars. Of course the real stars make for real life, real love and real spirituality. In some cases the correction is simple, since e.g. “Capricorn” is not rising at all at eas and you can safely assume your ascendant is Pisces. In other cases, e.g. With Sextans or Hydra ascending, you will need a real horoscope as confirming to true skies.
EAST
East is a fascinating subject, that somehow does not appeal false ego, the better to exorcise it. It is in the east that the ascendants rise one by one, precession cycle after precession cycle, all 88 of them1.
EAST
What is so fascinating about a set of rising constellations? Precisely change is what makes history interesting, as we have the appropriate characters for different epochs.
AUTHORITY
If there are sources not confirming to the real positions of the planets in the true sky, they are not criticised as they pertain to sheer superstition.
SCIENCE
Science is scorned as difficult and futile for the purpose at hand. Never in human ast was an illiterate given the opportunity to rise one's head and decide as nowadays. It was never the business of the peasant to determine the law of MA'aTh, and yet nowadays everyone assumes one's own laws.
SALVATION
Feeling comfortable in one's own tradition, walking in other people;s shoes and leading the parade in an unleashed footage is default. It seems natural for one who can not tie one's own shoe to lead the parade. The last one who rebuked such improbable gentlemen was Hipparchus. To this time no one listened, and if he did, they called him astronomer.
APPROACH
How do we approach a sentient being on the wrong path. The being in question is moving along its own path, in its own faith, as fooled by ts own lot of illusive energy, that in the last analysis comes from the same divine course. In other words, if God wants to destroy a city, letting the city destroy itself is one of the options. The terrible Lord of the Bible was in fact mild in comparison to superstition ands the works of the opponent of man.

ASTROLOGY AND SCIENCE
If there are sources not confirming to the real positions of the planets in the true sky,
they are not criticised as they pertain to sheer superstition.

SUN SIGN
In our times, people are tossed to and fro between various “astrological systems”, where there is really no occasion for confusion as concern the true position of the natal planets. We have authoritative sourcesi as approved by astronomers all over the planet. There is no need to go anywhere else.
NASA SUN EPHEMERIS
In order to popularize the science of astrology, we have variously animated and published the ephemerides for the Sun, the planets and objects of interestii. The most basic ephemeris for us is the Sun ephemeris as observed from planet Earth. This ephemeris confirms to the true position of the stars as first step towards ancient knowledge and wisdom.

SUN
The motion of the Sun as measured against the tapestry of stars shows that the Sun is in Libra on November 23rd. A quick inspection will have the Sun crossing over into thin Scorpius from Lambda Libræ towards HD142686 in Scorpius. This being no news to the astronomer, might be of interest to peole genuinely interested in basic astrology.
SCORPIVS
On November 23rd, the Sun enters Scorpius in order to dwell in that part of the ecliptic for a week, before its sojourn in Ophiuchus. It is in Sagittarius for Xmas and New Year.
VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
The lunar house systems, such as practiced in Egypt, India and China are valuable contributions to astrology. Moreover the Chinese equatorial and Mayan systems are, to say the least, amazing innovations as concern the science of astrology, or astronomy as it is called today. Furthermore, original systems like Hopi and Navajo astronomy make part of our cultural heritage. On inspection, one will find wisdom from Guam to Hawaii as well. Sikkim is of utmost interest with its expansion of the 9x9x9 system. We would folio volumes to enumerate and present the various approaches to precession calculus and observation of the nether constellations in ritual, a natal horoscope, as well as navigation.
ASTROLOGY
Depending on the system used, one can apply several signs or constellations of correction to one's own calculus. The best way to do so for the Sun is to use the NASA Sun ephemeris, an authoritative source of information, on which every astrological program is in fact based before it is mangled for the purpose of general superstition. Some astrological programs will in fact propose the IAU system along with a primitive planetarium.
THE GAP
That there is a gap between true sky and popular superstition is a well known and discussed subject. What is new to the incipient astrologer is that the gap is larger than declared. Sai Baba celebrates His birthday with Sun in Libra on November 23rd. Let us see the implications.
FROM LIBRA TO SAGITTARIUS
It is a long way from Libra to Sagittarius, almost quarter a sky, as the Sun travels through Scorpius and Ophiuchus before reaching Sagittarius. Here we are speaking of more than three sign error. Libra, Scorpius and Ophiuchus are three constellations.
TWO SIGNS OF ERROR
Luckily, the general error is mostly two signs only, not quarter of the sky. Thus, if you have been told you are “Scorpio”, you are probably Virgo; your natal Sun is in Virgo.
THE DAMAGE
Albeit our choice might be to ridicule credulity and laugh at the self-proclaimed gurus in the area, a tradition such as Indian would have some contempt, as there s lot to do about astrology in order to align with the real skies. We simply can not afford for one quarter of sky of error. The Chinese would be dreaded to have such an error as their basic orientation completely depends on the four symbolic animals.
GLOBAL EXORCISM
Global reformation of the zodiac or zodiacs, to allow for cultural differences and preserve valuable tradition, is in the hands of the citizens of this planet. The IAU in fact has astrology among its topics. The Academic Zodiac is merely a part of global exorcism, with its scientifically proven 22 zodiacal constellations. On the other hand, the present ascendant set is easily demonstrable in the real sky as well in astronomic simulations.
ASCENDANT
The ascendant set is 12 signs only in popular credulity. In the real sky there is no credulity but the real stars. Of course the real stars make for real life, real love and real spirituality. In some cases the correction is simple, since e.g. “Capricorn” is not rising at all at eas and you can safely assume your ascendant is Pisces. In other cases, e.g. With Sextans or Hydra ascending, you will need a real horoscope as confirming to true skies.
EAST
East is a fascinating subject, that somehow does not appeal false ego, the better to exorcise it. It is in the east that the ascendants rise one by one, precession cycle after precession cycle, all 88 of them1.
EAST
What is so fascinating about a set of rising constellations? Precisely change is what makes history interesting, as we have the appropriate characters for different epochs.
AUTHORITY
If there are sources not confirming to the real positions of the planets in the true sky, they are not criticised as they pertain to sheer superstition.
SCIENCE
Science is scorned as difficult and futile for the purpose at hand. Never in human ast was an illiterate given the opportunity to rise one's head and decide as nowadays. It was never the business of the peasant to determine the law of MA'aTh, and yet nowadays everyone assumes one's own laws.
SALVATION
Feeling comfortable in one's own tradition, walking in other people;s shoes and leading the parade in an unleashed footage is default. It seems natural for one who can not tie one's own shoe to lead the parade. The last one who rebuked such improbable gentlemen was Hipparchus. To this time no one listened, and if he did, they called him astronomer.
APPROACH
How do we approach a sentient being on the wrong path. The being in question is moving along its own path, in its own faith, as fooled by ts own lot of illusive energy, that in the last analysis comes from the same divine course. In other words, if God wants to destroy a city, letting the city destroy itself is one of the options. The terrible Lord of the Bible was in fact mild in comparison to superstition ands the works of the opponent of man.

*******************************************************************************
Column meaning:
TIME
Prior to 1962, times are UT1. Dates thereafter are UTC. Any 'b' symbol in
the 1st-column denotes a B.C. date. First-column blank (" ") denotes an A.D.
date. Calendar dates prior to 1582-Oct-15 are in the Julian calendar system.
Later calendar dates are in the Gregorian system.
The uniform Coordinate Time scale is used internally. Conversion between
CT and the selected non-uniform UT output scale has not been determined for
UTC times after the next July or January 1st. The last known leap-second
is used over any future interval.
NOTE: "n.a." in output means quantity "not available" at the print-time.
Cnst =
Constellation ID; the 3-letter abbreviation for the name of the
constellation containing the target center's astrometric position,
as defined by IAU (1930) boundary delineation. See documentation
for list of abbreviations.
