Deploy based on the planet alignments

I'm afraid to ask about the use case ;)

Haha..

This should be a boon to religious Hindu coders (if there are any). LOL - Based on Brihaspati' proximity to Mangal's orbit (I have no idea what I am saying) you could choose to not release to minimize your bad luck. I love this - and you actually have a use case. You should shop this around as an app to the big Indian outsourcing firms. All the best!

Am I correct that it only tests for conjunction with an orb of 1 degree? There are many aspects, some positive and some negative. Planets are also considered to align when they stand up to 8 degree apart.

An improved version would for example deploy when there is a triangle or conjunction, but fail on an opposition or square.

But as any astrologer will tell you, planned dates are meaningless. So yes, why indeed?

The moon is missing. Let me know when you figure that one out.

My mum would be all over this(if she was a programmer) :P

She will avoid buying expensive things or travelling when the planets are not aligned, it's supposed to be bad luck - silly astrology.
