    Function calculateSolarArc

    • Calculate the solar arc for a given birth and target date.

      Parameters

      • birthJD: number

        Julian Date of birth

      • targetJD: number

        Julian Date to calculate arc for

      Returns number

      Solar arc in degrees

      The solar arc is the difference between the progressed Sun position and the natal Sun position. For secondary progressions, this is approximately 1° per year of life.

      const birthJD = 2451545.0; // J2000.0
      const targetJD = birthJD + 30 * 365.25; // 30 years later
      const arc = calculateSolarArc(birthJD, targetJD);
      console.log(arc); // ~30° (about 1° per year)
