An update that is essential. That is the amount of the Sidereal secession since the birth of the USA, which should be added to all natal positions in order to accomadate, what will be by the end of today, April 20, [Happy 420, BTW] 2024, 90,506 days since. As I simplified things a bit, mathmatically ... not wanting to get into the controversy of the exact timing of the Ahimsa, the Tropical to Sidereal relative movement of one full degree being based on the proposed endurace of one great yuga being 25, 800 years, exactly, and that amounts to, apprx., one degree every 26,176.25 days That amounts to one second of a degree in difference every 7.271180555...6 days.
It all adds up to a difference, by the end of this day, ECST, of 3 degrees 27 minutes and 27.22220 seconds, or 03* 27' 27..22220", that is the amount to add to all natal positions of the Astrological Parts derived from this particular natal chart.
I had to recalculate all the necessary as I'm still in Reno, without my papers, my notebooks, my books and the loss of some atmosphere of inspiration. These todays' figures might even be the same as those that I had been using and espousing before? But I think they are just slightly different. As it takes over seven days for the sidereal to move at least one second of a degree whether it be a month or two more, or less, amounting to no more than about 8.25 seconds of a degree. Then figure on adding four seconds every 29.0847222...3 days. That is to say on May 20th at 12 minutes and 13 seconds, i.e. 12:12:13 A.M. on May 20, 2024 ECST, add four more seconds to the figure I gave above.
My interest in this mater today stems from my realization how close
the second return of Pluto to its natal position, Sidereal procession adj., in retrograde this July 16th. I'm curious as to any planetary stimulation to the natal Parts at that upcoming time.
Here's the event chart, although I may have already posted it before, twice won't hurt.
LATE EDIT: Going by what I give for the actual point of natal return for that day in this chart cast some years ago, The ratio I've used in this last post to apprx. the rate of the Sidereal secession would then produce one more second of a degee. I Will refer to the older estimation to be the more accurate, but a difference that amounts to just a hair more than a second in degree difference over a period of almost 248 years.
EVEN LATER EDIT: Checking the current info that google offers about the rate of Sidereal precession, whch is given at every 25,772 years [which is surely an approxmation but likely with a half a year more or less] that produces a rate of + 0.1375292488419846" of a degree per day, whch in turn then gves a sidreal precession adusted position for the USA's natal Pluto at 3* 27' 59", a difference of 15" of a degree. But not to sweat it much, Pluto will conj. that exact point at apprx 4:05 A.M. the same day. i.e July 18, 2024, just 4 hours ealier.
It's the retrograde returns I pay the most attention to. as that is what has proven itself to me to be the more interesting conjunctions of return when they do happen.
LATE EDIT: OR AS EARLY AS... DEPENDING ON THE TRUE RATE OF THE SIDEREALPRECESSION... BUT DEFINITELY ON JULY 16, 2024...
