From the book “Lunar Returns and Earth Returns”, Ricerca ’90 Publisher

Several times, with practical examples both in my books and in my magazine Ricerca ’90, I have shown how to aim a Solar Return and/or a Lunar Return ‘on the fly’ – or better said: ‘on the flight’ – in order to reach places that one could not reach on the dry land.

Remember that in such events (which are the subject of one whole chapter of my book I fondamenti dell’astrologia medica, Armenia editore) you usually have two options: taking a taxi plane or hiring a private aircraft with a pilot from a flying club.

I would avoid the first because it would be quite expensive – although of course the notion of ‘expensive’ is a relative one, depending also from the subject’s needs and financial situations. In fact, a rich man seeking desperately to save his own life would certainly choose this solution instead of the other, perhaps less expensive but unsure ways.

Usually it’s easier to contact a flying club, where you’d certainly meet a keen flyer whose main dream is to be allowed to fly for free for hours: he’d be only glad if you refund the cost of fuel and give him an extra income of some Euros.

Now let me introduce a brand new method; something that – to my knowledge – nobody has ever tried before. Nonetheless it is something that, being

pure mathematics, can be said to be self-proven.

Say that a David Smith wants to spend his Lunar Return in Milan, Italy, on the 21st of January 2008 at 1:02 pm GMT. As you can see from the relevant chart, it is a very bad Return. Say that David’s current SR is detrimental too, so that he wants to aim (i.e. relocate according to the rules given in my books) this bad LR in order to avoid further risks for himself. The ideal place for such relocation would be an isle in the very middle of the Ocean between Senegal (on the West coast of Central Africa) and Brazil (to be more precise, the North-East point of Brazil). This is one of the emptiest portions of this planet. If Our Lord had been passionately fond of Aimed Solar Returns, he would have certainly filled up this void with at least one island in the middle.

Alas, there’s no island in there. Yet, our brain often can be better than an island – so I made up my mind and invented the method that I’m going to expose. In my opinion, it’s something that has very solid theoretical basis and can be applied without spending 50,000 Euros for a taxi plane, but only 1,000 Euros on an airliner.

It consists of tracing the route of an airliner, say flying Lisbon to Recife, provided that you know ALL the points touched by the route during the flight, and at what time you’ll be flying over any of them.

It is not a ‘mission impossible’! I’m going to show you how, and after the following single example, you’ll be able to do the same for any area of the world and apply it to any Aimed SR and/or Aimed LR.

The most difficult point is getting the precise route of the flight. Forget about asking the airlines: they aren’t going to tell you anything for security reasons because of the hazard posed by terrorism.

My friend Pino Valente was smart enough to find out, on the Internet, the webpage of the fans of flight simulation. As everybody knows, people like these can become really manic in their wish to create a perfect simulation of flights; therefore they get to know whatever may be needed to be known as far as routes are concerned. Also on ‘normal’ webpages devoted to travels, like for example www.opodo.it, you can get to know the kind of aircraft, the departure & arrival time, the time needed to reach there, and everything else that you need for the purposes that I’m explaining to you.

From www.opodo.it I got to know that there’s a flight TAP TP151 Lisbon to Recife leaving Lisbon on the 21st January 2008 at 10:50; the flight takes 7 hours and 45 minutes. Hence you can get, from the Route Finder webpage, the following table containing really all the information that you need. We’ll consider only the second part of the table, listing all the virtual points of the sky that are used by air traffic controllers to guide the aircrafts along very narrow skyways: Nakos, Barok, Bentu, Nevel, Mitla…

In the following map we have traced all these virtual nodes of the sky and we have connected them to form a line.

On Giovanna Bianco & Pino Valente’s website www.bianco-valente.com you can see their work of 2005 titled Relational Domain – it’s a beautiful work of art resembling the world of synapses, the connections between the sky and human mind, the air traffic controllers’ celestial nodes, the communication between our brain and the reality of universe…

Back to our scope. After drawing this line on the map you proceed as follows. You open the astrological software that you use to calculate Solar returns and/or Lunar Returns. There you add new ‘locations’ in its database, say: Nakos Radar, longitude 9°20’W and latitude 38°00’N, Barok Radar longitude 10°01’W and latitude 35°58’N and so on.

As you already know, the time zone is not required while casting SRs and LRs, so when you’re asked to input the Time Zone, you can simply digit ‘1’.

Now consider the following four maps of ALR that I have cast to explain this method.

Compare them with the already given map of BLR of Milan, Italy – a very bad one. Having added the additional locations to our software program, it is now able to cast a LR for Maroa. Taken for granted that the map of SR and the map of LR must have the domification of the place where the subject is there in that moment – neither the place of his birth nor the place of his usual residence – nobody can deny that the result is striking. It isn’t important to know what time will it be there in their local time, because our software calculates the GMT of the LR and relocates the map of that moment on to Maroa. Those who still doubt about this method, may cast the Aimed LR for Cape Verde (for example, Sale) and they can see that the resulting map is almost identical to the map cast for Orabi Radar (in fact, the geographic coordinates of the two locations are very close).

With the tables given here you can calculate anything. We know that the aircraft, an Airbus A330-220, flying at an average cruise speed of 412 Mph (nautical miles per hour) takes 7 hours and 45 minutes to fly the whole route Lisbon to Recife, corresponding to 3,196 nautical miles. Knowing the distance between the single points of the line that we have traced on our map, we can also know at what time we’ll be flying over each of those points.

The method’s only drawback is that the aircraft may take off later than the scheduled time, but you can always recalculate the route by heart. In fact, consider our map with the dotted line. Say that you had reckoned to be over Maroa for your Aimed LR. Now being late, instead of flying over Maroa, you’ll be flying over Delax in the very moment in which the LR takes place. An as you can see from the chart cast for Delax, it’s good anyway.

If you wish to get a safe calculation, you can apply larger margins of tolerance and reckon that if the aircraft takes off with a delay of, say, less than 30 minutes, the pilots are able to make up time by flying a little more than the usual cruise speed.

I believe that you have now a new tool, and a very feasible one, to achieve the goals that you wish: moreover, spending no more than one hundred Euros instead of, say, fifty thousand Euros.
