Mundane Arcs Study

The Mundane Arcs Study generates an event whenever a transiting body has traveled a whole-number multiple of an arc value listed in the Arcs table. Use the study to track multiple-of-X-degree progressions for any body and arc length you choose.

You can also create a Mundane Arcs Study from the toolbar by clicking the Arc Studies drop-down button and selecting Mundane Arcs.

Events Captured

A Mundane Arcs event occurs when a transiting body's longitudinal travel reaches a whole-number multiple of an arc value defined in the Arcs table. Each arc value is a degree count; the study reports the moment the body has traversed each multiple of that arc.

Events Table Columns

The events table for a Mundane Arcs Study contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the arc event.
Body	Name of the body crossing an arc multiple.
Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the body at the event.
Body Sign	Zodiac sign (with degrees) of the body.
Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the body.
Body Distance	Distance of the body from the coordinate origin.
Body Speed	Daily motion of the body.
Arc	The arc value (subdivision in degrees) being crossed.
Factor	The numeric factor associated with the arc (cycle divisor).
Arc Multiple	The multiple of the arc reached (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd multiple).
Event Interval	Time interval since the previous arc event.
