Time and Ron Scott

You will now find an article on RadixPro discussing a purported error in astrological calculations as proposed by Ron Scott. Scott’s approach is frequently encountered, particularly on Facebook, and it seemed worthwhile to set out the relevant facts in a clear and systematic manner.

This article is the first general article on astrology to appear on RadixPro. Additional articles will follow. Alongside the existing material on Enigma, house systems, and astronomical formulas, I intend to publish more broadly on astrological topics.

A new Articles option has therefore been added to the menu. The Articles page provides an overview of the published articles and currently includes the article on Time and Ron Scott.

Easier to find city names in Enigma 0.8.2

If you enter a city, Enigma automatically finds the coordinates. However, this did not work well for cities that used accented characters. If you searched for Malaga in Spain, it would not find anything because the name was spelled Málaga.

In release 0.8.2 Enigma only uses plain characters, so it is easier to find the correct city.

Also, if you selected a line with an astronomical event in PreNatal, the text was difficult to read. In the new version, the text contrasts better with the background.

Enigma 0.8.1 now supports a lifetime of 120 years for prenatal astrology

A new version of Enigma is available that supports a lifetime of 120 years for the prenatal astrology approach by the dutch astrologer Eg Sneek.

There is also a fix for the chart wheel. If you wanted to show a large amount – about 40, 50 – of planets and other points, it could happen that Enigma could not find enough place to show all glyphs. It would keep trying infinitely and the program effectively stopped. This has been solved: if there is unsufficient space, some glyphs might partially overlap but the wheel is always shown.

You can download the new version at the Enigma page.

Enigma 0.8 with many new features

Version 0.8 of Enigma is available. Enigma now supports a schema for Invisble Luminaries Astrology, Arielle Guttman’s Venus Star Point, Prenatal Astrology (Eg Sneek), a progressive calendar, and a variable start of the zodiac, for applications such as Draconic Astrology.

This is the final version of Enigma in its current form. I intend to rewrite Enigma, making it suitable for both Windows and macOS, and hopefully also for iPad. However, for the time being, version 0.8 will serve you perfectly well.

New problems solved: Enigma 0.6.2

Thanks to Cees Jansen, I was informed about some issues with the latest version of Enigma:

  • If you modified an orb in the configuration and entered a number with a decimal separator (period or comma), the separator would disappear. For example, an orb of 7.5 would become 75 degrees.
  • A celestial body with an orb set to 0 degrees should not receive any aspects, but it did. Enigma only considered the celestial body with the largest orb and applied that universally, which doesn’t work if one of the orbs is set to 0 degrees.
  • Vertex, East Point, and Pars Fortunae were not displayed in the chart.

These issues have been fixed in the new version 0.6.2, which you can download via the Enigma page.

Enigma 0.6 with Black Lights and Automatic Coordinates & Time Zones

A new version of Enigma is now available. This version still runs on Windows. The project to make Enigma compatible with multiple platforms will take longer, so I’m releasing a few more Windows versions in the meantime. This version supports all objects from Black Lights Astrology, automatic coordinates and time zones, and more.

An overview of all Enigma’s functionalities is available.
