Most astrologers are familiar with measurement, which is used in secondary (aka major) progression and solar arc directions, “one year equivalent to a day.” Those who sometimes employ tertiary progress say that “one day is equal to a month.” Most take these statements at the marked price and do not think of those self -proclaims. But —
which day?
General practice is to use solar day, 24 hours long, running from noon to noon or midnight to midnight. However, during a solar day, the Earth rotates about 361 degrees, not 360 degrees. There was always an unconscious but doubt behind this writer’s mind how this 361 ° cycle could be equal to the 360 degree cycle of solar year. How did these two uneven cycles correspond?
Should we take this 361/360 inequality on trust, salute and drive?
The Cditorial Day, “Time interval between two gradual routes of a star above meridian” (Nicholas Devor, AstrologyPage 86) or “Time taken by the Earth to roam on its axis relative to the stars” ( Oxford Dictionary), Earth’s rotation on its equatorial axis, which is returning to a certain point in space.
A solar day is 24 hours long; The sidereal day is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds in length, or 0.997269676 of a solar day.
The ciderial day is 360 degrees of Earth’s rotation, not 361 degrees of solar day. Therefore, ciderial day preserves a day for a year (for secondary/major progress), or a day for a day (in terms of tertiary) for a day for a day fractel analog, using solar day in a way Does not,
Effect on secondary/major progress (and solar arc directions) If one is using solar day vs. cordial day, it is that progress (guided) status moves a day for each year of life. The progress of solar day will be a day forward for every year of life.
Further I will post some examples to portray the point.
This thread is meant to discuss progression techniques, especially the use of solar vs cadarry day. Please do not post a meme or link for the video!
