However, if the questions are motivated by astrological sources but concern only astronomical phenomena, then they are on topic. OTOH, there's an older meta post with a more definite anti-astrology stance. | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 16:55 | comment | added | Trip | @Dieudonné, yes, there are many variables hence why I want to learn them all and then to use them and to be able to explain them | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 16:28 | comment | added | Dieudonné | If you are familiar with Python, you might want to look at astroPy. There are off course other libraries in other languages. | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 16:26 | comment | added | Dieudonné | @Trip Keep in mind that the calculations for planetary positions may not be valid in the distant past. Especially if they are based on older planetary ephemeris. Recent ephemeris created by JPL, however, cover the whole time span of human history (but not prehistory, i.e. from the year 13200 BC). | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 16:16 | comment | added | Trip | yes, really beyond softwares I want to learn how to create the softwares so as to be able to provide a number of solutions given a plethora of variables | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 16:05 | comment | added | Dieudonné | That is an interesting archeoastronomical application! Assuming that Stellarium is able to precess to the dates you need, the solution proposed by @usernumber should work. But this is of course manual work. Do you need to process a large number of planetary positions? | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 15:27 | comment | added | Trip | @Dieudonné, the reason I ask in not due to wanting to use astrology, it just so happens that the houses/signs have been used to record the placement of the planets in the past. Take the example of Zodiac of the Metternich Stele. The use of spherical astronomy helps obtain possible dates for when the planets would be in the positions. It’s a simple zodiac where all 7 traditional planets are in Leo. I’m just trying to learn how to figure out how to calculate the solutions for that zodiac and like 50 others so I can obtain the possible dates within. It’s not for astrology, its for astronomy | |

| Dec 12, 2019 at 9:57 | comment | added | Dieudonné | No, but I think that is what the OP is asking. | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 9:47 | comment | added | usernumber | @Dieudonné Is astrology on-topic here? | |
| Dec 12, 2019 at 9:21 | comment | added | Dieudonné | This answer will give you the actual constellation the planet was in, but not the astrological sign as the constellations have shifted because of precession (e.g. the vernal equinox is now in Pisces in stead of Aries). Given the choice of words, I think the OP is referring to the astrological sign. I imagine that there will be some astrological software that will give you the astrological sign of a planet. | |
