Square of Nine Planetary Intervals
Overview
The Square of Nine Planetary Intervals tool is a unique analysis tool combining the use of the Square of 9 with Planetary Movements.
From a selected date the Square of Nine Planetary Interval tool will identify the planets angle, then, using the Square of 9 Chart, determine the next number of Square of 9 series and calculate which date the planet was located at using a line plotted from that angle.
For example, if on a selected date Venus was at 112 degrees, using the Square of 9 the tool is able to determine that the next number if the series is 158. The Square of Nine Planetary Interval tool then uses the Ephemeris to determine which date Venus will be at 158 Degrees, placing a vertical line on the chart at that date.
To add the tool to your chart, select the tool from the Astro tool group, and left-click on the bar on the chart you wish to calculate the tool from. Optuma will then draw the tool using the default settings.
Scripting Function: SQ9INT()
