Hi @ll , i am experimenting on a Zodiac rotation but can´t get it to work with the right days…
I used the formula posted from Mellin:
(((#DM # + (clamp((#Dd # - 19),0,1))) / 12) * 360)
http://community.facer.io/t/help-to-create-a-once-a-month-rotation-on-a-specific-day/14033/6
The problem is, that it differs up to 3 days from the real dates:
For example: Lion is dated from 23. July to 22.August — in the preview it changes from cancer to lion on 20. July.
Anybody an idea?
I know that it can differ 1 day due to leap-years but 3 days???
Help very much appreciated!
Greetings, GAUSS.

Never tried Zodiac rotation but if it is consistently off by 3 days, could you just minus by 3? I am probably completely off though. I’ll have to try this.

No, i am afraid it´s not consistently off by 3 days … That would be to easy, lol…

Haha I figured that would be too easy. Always gotta try the obvious just to rule it out lol.

Just was taking a look and that rotational formula switches every month on the 20th unless you change the 19 to a different number.
I had worked out a zodiac formula in Excel ages ago. I can try to locate it for you but not entirely sure if the functions I used will translate to Creator.

Well, i could use a transparency formula instead of rotation - it´s an alternative …
Thanks for your participation!
I suspect it relates to sign (negative vs positive) …
Give me a couple of days. I will write a formula that returns 0…11 .
based on:
WESTERN ASTROLOGY STAR SIGN
Dec. 22 - Jan. 19 - Capricorn

Great!
I had to change your formula a little bit to rotate clockwise (i made a different template) and correct a few datas because i have an other chart:
http://www.astrovision.de/Sternzeichen-Tabelle.php
Widder 21.03. - 20.04
This is what my modified formula looks like now:
(-($#DD#<=20||#DD#>=356?0:$$#DD#>=21&&#DD #<=50?30:$$#DD#>=51&&#DD #<=79?60:$$#DD#>=80&&#DD #<=109?90:$$#DD#>=110&&#DD #<=139?120:$$#DD#>=140&&#DD #<=171?150:$$#DD#>=172&&#DD #<=202?180:$$#DD#>=203&&#DD #<=234?210:$$#DD#>=235&&#DD #<=265?240:$$#DD#>=266&&#DD #<=295?270:$$#DD#>=296&&#DD #<=326?300:$$#DD#>=327&&#DD #<=355?330:$)+90)
It was really a great help for me. Thank you!

Wow @andrew.dowden Nice work!
@GAUSS , cant wait to see the final results! Looks good so far.

Yes, I also found several charts … all slightly different.
I might see if I can find an astronomy (science) based reference, rather than astrology (multiple conventions).
There is US ‘The Farmers Almanac’, which might be concidered definitive.

It‘s strange how much different charts are on the web. I searched a lot since i was sure that the one i took seems to be the casual one associated to the date of birth. I know, that they can differ in leap years.
