26 by skyrack On the SportingLife race cards any jockey allowance is shown (in lbs) after the jockey name. Deduct that from the allotted weight to get the weight carried. Quote Sat Jun 23, 2018 3:14 pm
28 by Jupiterhead My experience when using the Sepharial system, is that it only works well on either a New Moon and/or a Full Moon. If it's not astronomically true, it's not astrologically true. Quote Sun Jun 24, 2018 2:57 pm

For Sepaharial the PoF should be calculated from the cusp of the 1st House, using Equal Midheaven houses, and not the true Ascendant. Sepharial wrote: Setting the Figure This is extremely simple. It consists merely in finding the degree that is on the Midheaven at the schedule or program time of a race. The other cusps of the houses willhold the same degree and the signs will be equally disposed throughout the circle. Thus if Leo 23 were on the Midheaven then Scorpio 23 would be rising. The Sun and Moon are placed in the figure to the nearest degree. The Part of Fortune is also placed in the figure. It is calculated thus: From the longitude of the Moon (expressed in signs and degrees) adding 12 signs if necessary for subtraction, take the longitude of the Sun and add the longitude of theAscendant. The result is the longitude in signs and degrees counted from Aries 0, of the Part of Fortune, called Fortuna. MC = 08VIR PoF = 11SCO - 02CAN + 08VIR + 90 = 17ARI Moon is nearest a cusp and the Significator. Measure = 27 Proportion = 13 / 2 * 27 / 90 = 1.95 or 2lbs rounded. Converse weights do not apply here so 2lbs from top weight and 5lbs rounded from bottom weight are the indications. There is no horse carrying 9st8 but 8 runners carrying 9st2. Too many to dutch so move on... https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/rac ... tions-race Hi Skyrack,, I just wanted to know how did you get measure = 27 please? I'll be making a few predictions.
