First off. I would like to understand, when you are looking on the constellation of words site, it shows a column that says, "long 1900", then one that says, "long 2000", then "planet contact" than "constellation" then, Decl 2000. I understand what they mean by constellation...but as far as I can see, that is the least useful one. how do you use the others, the long ones and the declination. As far as the planet contact column, it is confusing because when you cross-reference them, sometimes it seems to have contradicting indications.
I am having trouble with the fixed star Vindemiatrix, it says it used to be called Vindemitor. It is conjunct Saturn from about the evening of may 15 - about july 10, then it seperates further than 1 dgr after that. The information on this star calls it "the widow maker" and often indicates the loss of a spouse. This is a very bad thing since I am trying to set a wedding date within this time period. So is there no way around this star? Am I going to have to change it till the star clears all together? What about before the conjunction, does that clear it or is it just waiting to happen?
