The calculation of the Index of Risk for the Year is very useful in finding the best Aimed Solar Return. The theory behind it is illustrated and contained in the text Transits and Solar Returns, Ricerca’90 Publisher, page 397-399. Compared to the hundred examples in this text, you may find differences in the calculation. They are due to three factors. Under the old system we divided the year into two parts: from 1 January to birthday and from birthday to 31 December. Now, consider a single time segment from birthday to birthday and this naturally leads to different values in mathematical calculations and - consequently - in scoring. The mathematics that can be used in stand-alone programs (in a personal computer) is with about 50/60 digits while the one for web applications (ASP) is lower and this implies, for example, that a square with two orbit degrees, for a slightly different mathematical value, passes to be considered with higher orbit and then - in consequence - also shifts slightly the final score. In this algorithm, we have included a few rules to supplement or rectify a small extent, the famous “Thirty rules” of the actual text. For example, this Index of Risk for the Year also takes into account whether three celestials are among the first and the twelfth House or if we have a stellium in the eighth House which amounts almost to an Ascendant in the twelfth house.
Your positive score is: 24
Your negative score is: 92
