If you need a weekly forecast, why do you need an hourly ephemeris?

Re: Hourly Ephemeris« Reply #2 - on: 28.01.2013 at 21:29 [UT] »weekly meaning i'm going through the daily alignments for the week. and this is the issue i came across. i wasusing the ephemeris on astro, then looked up some other ppl's weekly forecast and they had the exact times
that mars and venus moved signs this week. they timing was different on astro's, seemed like a day or so off,

i'm assuming because of the time zone differences. so i just thought it would be nice if i could find an hourly
ephemeris for PST.
EDIT: just changed the title of the post from "Hourly Ephemeris" to current one. Hourly isn't supernecessary... i've been looking online and can't seem to find an ephemeris that puts mars and venus changingsigns on sun instead of friday, as two other astrologers i looked up doing weekly forecasts suggests.. or am ijust looking into this too deeply... any help would be appreciatedthanks!

Quote:(Mon) 1/28/2013 12:53 Mercury (Aqu) SQn (Cap) Pluto(Tue) 1/29/2013 15:58 Venus (Cap) SQn (Pis) Neptune(Tue) 1/29/2013 19:22 Sun (Aqu) SSx (Cap) Pluto(Wed) 1/30/2013 5:37 Jupiter (Gem) S/D(Wed) 1/30/2013 16:48 Sun (Aqu) Squ (Sco) Saturn(Wed) 1/30/2013 23:58 Mercury (Aqu) SSq (Ari) Uranus

Aspects are fully configurable, both angle and orb.
Does a ton of other neat stuff too. It's pretty much my "swiss army knife" of astrological calculation.

Astrolog32 hasn't been updated in years (2009), but the version available is still a gem.
The old version can still be downloaded from http://www.southville.net/astrolog32/en/soft.html
Starfisher is a totally different beast written by an individual who did the last update to Astrolog32.

Everything is more productive with the right tools!

And not sure how I forgot about this one on a Ephemeris thread, but NASA offers an ephemeris generator
that'll give you pretty much all the parameters of just about everything out there.
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi
It offers 40 parameters, most of which are completely irrelevant to astrology... Parameter 31 (Observed ecliptic
longitude & latitude) provides the ecliptic position of an object, as used in western astrology.
Step size of ephemeris can range from seconds to days, over short or long periods of time. Output is in highprecision decimal, so you'll have to "convert" it to a zodiac position, but that's pretty simple.. 30.00 would be
the start of Taurus (0Tau00), 90.00 the start of Cancer (0Can00), etc etc.
For the super-geeky nerds (raises hand), they also offer a telnet (terminal) interface at horizons.jpl.nasa.gov onport 6775 (if this is greek-speak to you, you can ignore this, haha). Us old-school nerds always dig a proper
terminal interface, memories of before web browsers existed

You'll find a lot of differences in ephemerides around. It seems as they have been processing data with different
equations -I don't believe it's just the time-zone difference.
Maybe you should try a couple first and check which is more close to triggering (with past events timmings).
But maybe you should also have to adjust accordingly the sensitive points of your charts (AC/MC)..?
For an hour-pace I'd trust more NASAs' data but it seems you have to do some work on it before...
