finding auspicious fimes
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2005 7:21 am
I use Kairon with a greyscale laser printer, in a very simple way: mostly to check for upcoming auspicious times (when a benefic is angular). I use these times to schedule new things.
The easiest way to do this that I have found is to find these times by trial and error and print charts out for instant quick reference as needed. I can do this when I am in a mood not to think. Perhaps one day Kairon will have "Find" and "Find again" buttons for when a certain body will be angular, to further streamline this task, but even now, to do this manually for the waking hours in a coming month takes just a couple of hours after practice but the printout will be, say 150 pages.
Later, when I want to concentrate, I make notes on the printouts to differentiate them from each other.
Recycling paper that is already printed on one side means there is no paper problem. I have two difficulties, though:
- making part of the printout darker (the table of positions of planetary bodies) and
- lightening other parts to save ink.
I need to be able to:
- consult the table of positions of planetary bodies at a glance. This tells me what other bodies are angular and what other info to take into account.
- make my own quick notes on the radix.
- consult the table of aspects only occasionally.
- lighten all lines and symbols I don't use frequently to save printer toner.
All this means that on Kairon's printouts, I need to:
- darken the table of positions of planetary bodies for consulting it more easily at a glance.
- lighten the aspect lines on the radix. (I draw extra on the radix in coloured biro.)
- show fewer aspect lines on the radix than on the aspect table.
- lighten the symbol of each planetary body in a different way in the list of aspects from in the radix, to save ink.
I have not found a way to do these things. Any suggestions?
For the sake of printing, is there a way to simplify preferences so that only greyscale values are shown, not colours? (The colours look fantastic on-screen, though.)
