  • Planetary Highlights of 2006 - Ephemerissimo!
    .
    To help you with your forecasts in the coming year, we've organized the tangle of the year's planetary events to make the major patterns clear and reveal the most interesting phenomena of 2006. For openers, you'll find information on the upcoming Transit of Mercury across the face of the Sun, the first Major Standstill of the Moon since 1987, the first Neptune-Pluto parallel since 1918, and the first Pluto transit of the Galactic Center since the mid-18th century.

    You'll also find the basic tables of the dates, times and degrees of the important ingresses, aspects, stations, eclipses and Moon phases, handily summarized. Plus, to give added depth to your judgments, you'll find often-overlooked information, including the year's major planetary clusters · extremes of declination and out-of-bounds periods · maximum elongations · Supermoons · occultations · dates when planets enter and exit their retrograde shadow · the monthly positions, stations and aspects of the outer-planet midpoints · the dates when there are many or zero planets in a given element or mode, and the dates when planets are most and least dignified. And there's more, too. . .
