Twelfth parts button
Dodekatamoiria:
To list the 12th parts report, click on the 12/13 button as shown below:
The 12th harmonic is based upon the Sun / Moon synodic cycle whereas the other is based upon a simple division of the sign by 12. There are 12 synods of the Sun / Moon in a year. Every month the Moon has to make up another 30 degrees (13th sign) in it's motion to reach the Sun which has traveled 30 degrees in a month. Therefore the dodekatamoiria theoretically represent the Moon's sidereal motion, but there are 12 lunations (dwadasamsa) in a year.
Schmidt theorizes that these represent the ascending path of the planet as opposed to the descending path represented by the lots. 12th parts represent re-integration into the whole as a result or an outcome (apotetlesma).
