I love what you are doing here

[tutucea]

Even tho I can't test your app mostly because I have a super cheap Linux laptop, i love the fact that you put work into this and open source it .. I do have a question for you tho about FixingState.. does that cover everything including transits and composite charts ? Also I want to say that few months back i started using swisseph with python myself but everything i wrote so far only works in terminal :)

[CReizner]

Thanks for your appreciation @tutucea ,

I am also interested that this work is transferred to Python. It would be nice if you could use different engines there like swisseph, astropy or skyfield. Maybe you could start with that.

FixingState represents the small symbol next to the planets in the online chart calculator (triangle up, triangle down or star). For transit or composite charts: The FixingState can be changed by the other planets and if this happens, then the property FixingStateChangedByComparer is true.

Note that as of version 1.0.0, the FixingState can no longer be found in the Activation class, but in the PlanetaryFixation class. The charts now have their own property for the planetary fixations.

I am versed in HD and I understand how FixedState should work however I do have a problem with implementing in all the ways it gets fixed as my mind works a little funny, I guess I will get there sooner or later and is not like I am in a rush. The only reason I got into this is to write an electron app that keeps track of the transits. Back to fixingState, I took a different approach. I will need more time to understand how an actual development works as I am more of a script kiddie at this point and it looks like I can learn from you

        "line_2": {
            "\u25b2": "Jupiter",
            "\u25bc": "Mercury"
        },
        "line_3": {
            "\u25b2": "Venus",
            "\u25bc": "Moon"
        },

            "\u25b2": "Mars",

            "\u25b2": "Earth",

            "\u25b2": "Jupiter",
            "\u25bc": "Mars"
        }
    }

I started with skyfield but I found it to be a little slow when it comes to processing data ( again it could be my cheap laptop) but found swisseph to be instant even tho they both give the same result.

Do you mind sharing a couple of screenshots with the app ❤️

[CReizner]

The only things you need to know when calculating the FixingState (if that is your concern) are the following:

1. of course the table of exalted and detriment planets in each line. You seem to have found them.
2. planets in the harmonic gates are included in the evaluation of the FixingState in the following way:
   If planet p1 is in a gate and line for which the table has not provided a state, and planet p2 is in the same gate or a harmonic gate (connected by a channel) for which the table would have defined a state at the position where p1 is, then p1 takes over this state.
   Example: Saturn is in 19.1. The table just describes states for Sun and Moon. If Sun is in19.3 for example, then Saturn is exalted (Sun is not).

Yes, the thing with the calculation speed is probably simply the difference between C and Python implementations ^^
However, when I compared the two, I got slightly different results. Can you describe how you get the same result with the packages?

Feel free to share your work.

i played with those a lot , the results are the same maybe once in a blue moon I got a 0.01 difference but that might come from the way things are processed

only gate and line, if you look at design birthday there is a difference .. on the second code i used decimal time, 5.0835( may have to look up documentation and see which way is correct)
