| Spreadsheet format | ||||
| In compiling a guide to forthcoming alignments till the end of the year | ||||
| we decided to choose a spreadsheet format. Alignments frequently | ||||
| overlap and we felt the best way of depicting the various over lapping | ||||
| conjunctions and oppositions was in a tabular form. This is both swift | ||||
| and easy to use and offers the best way of appreciating which alignments | ||||
| are current at any one time. The notation we use is explained below and | ||||
| on the page itself to help you navigate the page as easily as possible. | ||||
| Below is a brief explanation of the annotation used: | ||||
| The following i.e. Venus/Mars means that Mars and Venus are in | ||||
| direct alignment or conjunction. | ||||
| The following i.e. Venus-Mars means the planets are in alignment but in | ||||
| opposition, with the Earth in the middle between them. | ||||
| The following i.e. Venus/Mars-Jupiter would mean that Venus and | ||||
| Mars are in alignment but in opposition to Jupiter with the Earth in between them. | ||||
| By alignment is meant a separation of around 5 degrees or less. Some of | ||||
| the alignments were long lasting but the dates when they were in very close | ||||
| alignment are outlined in yellow. | ||||
