Mergus "The Sable Eye" aka "Black Orb" suggesting Bukrai, associated with Morgath.

Fooling with the Astrology program for Harn made me think: "Mergus Transiting Mergus" sounds like a horiable event in a life. Not that hardly anyone lives that long (Mergus Transits Mergus when you are born and again 85 years later (several incidents for +/-2 years either side of 85 strongest at 85.)

Interestingly Uranus in Terra sounds like a nearly opposite implication (I was thinking Uranus because it has a similar peroid at 84 years)


Uranus conjunct Uranus
An important event that marks a time during which you can have the experience of taking a greater role in the creation of life itself. You become one with the creative force to a marked extent.

Uranus opposite Uranus
Coming around the 42nd year, it's no wonder this aspect has been called one of "forty-tude." It often signifies an attempt to reverse the current life direction, to "stop the world, I want to get off" and redirect toward more personal, religious issues.

Uranus square Uranus
A period of pressure and tension relating to your sense of independence and freedom. You may find yourself curbing a tendency within to rebel and actually finding freedom this time by pursuing more established routes.

Uranus sextile Uranus
A surge of independence, a need for freedom, and an interest in trying new and different things may take hold of you. Unusual or unconventional behavior, an interest in the exotic or in eccentric friends. Breaking away, turning over the apple cart.

Uranus trine Uranus
A surge of independence, a need for freedom, and an interest in trying new and different things may take hold of you. Unusual or unconventional behavior, an interest in the exotic or in eccentric friends. Breaking away, turning over the apple cart.

The excelent Astrology Article by Steve McDonnald indicates that the period of precession for Kethira is 21,000 years. Over 21,000 years the direction of the North Pole moves around in a large circle in the sky. In turn this causes the time of the equinoxes and solstices to move around the year.

So if that was the case over 1000 years the 1/21 of 360 days worth of shift would be 17 days.

It seems like a shift of the equinoxes by 13 days since the creation of the Tuzan Calendar would be easily noticable.

I am guessing the eclipses of Yael would be uneffected by this precession?


Or am I misunderstanding...

if my understanding of precession was correct then there would be a disagreement with:

The excellent Astrology article by Steve McDonald is a real gem. I cleaned up the text file/screen capture and formatted it into a Word DOC.

I put it here for download: http://bellsouthpwp.net/g/a/garyashburn ... Donald.doc

I don't know of anywhere else it exists so if you have an interest download it so it doesn't get lost (again).

No, you aren't misunderstanding. MacDonald just made that number up, and it contradicts canon. The canon article mentions other sources of error in the calendar, but not precession. Accordingly, I left it out of my model. I did include a precession of the lunar orbit - that's a physical necessity (unless the laws of gravity and conservation of energy are repealed). But that doesn't effect the calendar.

Of course, the canon article has errors in it, too. There is another thread on the topic, but for example the statements about eclipses are just plain wrong.
