Dear Madalyn,
Happy 2006 (a little late but, better late than
never) -- It's hard to believe that we have
reached the halfway point in the first decade of
the 21st Century. In this issue of AUGuries,
you'll find our Ephemerissimo 2006, the
ultimate guide to the Hot Dates and Hot Degrees
of 2006. Enjoy!
We welcome your feedback. Let us know what you'd
like to see in our monthly issues of AUGuries.
And, if you have an article or item to
contribute, please do send it along to
madalyn@alabe.com.
| Planetary Highlights of 2006 - Ephemerissimo! |
 |
To help you with your forecasts in the coming
year, we've organized the tangle of the year's
planetary events to make the major patterns
clear and reveal the most interesting phenomena
of 2006. For openers, you'll find information on
the upcoming Transit of Mercury across the face
of the Sun, the first Major Standstill of the
Moon since 1987, the first Neptune-Pluto
parallel since 1918, and the first Pluto transit
of the Galactic Center since the mid-18th century.
You'll also find the basic tables of the dates,
times and degrees of the important ingresses,
aspects, stations, eclipses and Moon phases,
handily summarized. Plus, to give added depth to
your judgments, you'll find often-overlooked
information, including the year's major
planetary clusters · extremes of declination and
out-of-bounds periods · maximum elongations ·
Supermoons · occultations · dates when planets
enter and exit their retrograde shadow · the
monthly positions, stations and aspects of the
outer-planet midpoints · the dates when there
are many or zero planets in a given element or
mode, and the dates when planets are most and
least dignified. And there's more, too. . .
