"Here is a question to the astrologers on the list. Is there a computer program that could be used to predict the future location of the above named star (T Pyxidis) in the zodiac in the future? For example, will this star be in Uranus sometime in the near future?"

First I have two pieces of good news. Not included in most articles about T Pyxidis is the fact that most scientists think that if this system should go Nova that it will probably millions of years in the future. There will be smaller bursts of energy between now and then that should not cause much damage.

Secondly here is some more information from Wikipedia:

"Because of its relatively close distance, some contend that a T Pyxidis supernova could have a significant impact on Earth. The received gamma radiation would equal the total (all spectra) radiation of approximately 1000 solar flares, and would severely damage the ozone layer. The X-radiation that reaches Earth, however, would be less than the X-radiation of a single average solar flare. However, Dr. Sion's calculations were challenged by Prof. Alex Fillipenko who said that Sion had possibly miscalculated the damage that could be caused by a T Pyxidis supernova. He had used data for a far more deadly gamma-ray burst (GRB) exploding 3,260 light-years from Earth, not a supernova, and T Pyxidis certainly isn't expected to produce a GRB. According to an another expert, 'A supernova would have to be 10 times closer [to Earth] to do the damage described.'"

Whew! We may miss a bullet on that one.

As far as using astrology for predicting what this may do -- that is not likely.

Outside of objects in our solar system generally only twelve constellations of the Zodiac are used. These twelve signs each represent 30 degrees of the skyline or the whole 360 degrees altogether. T Pyxidis would thus be located in the region of Cancer.

A handful of astrologers have attempted to use various stars and other constellations in their calculations but the number of objects and sectors now in use is already so great that that the variables are mind boggling -- making it a very difficult art to perfect as it is.

Astrology is a little like playing the guitar. It is easy to play a few chords but very difficult to master it.

If a person had a history of the cycles of the stars and supernovas over a billion years or so then a supercomputer may be able to calculate the appearance of supernova and other events.

On the other hand, let us suppose that that T Pyxidis exploded yesterday. We wouldn't know about it or be affected for 3260 years. BUT, since refined substance and thought and travel faster than light the higher lives would know what is coming thousands of years in advance. It is entirely possible that the lives of planets and the sun itself could pick up the nova the moment it happens and their movement and cycles could be influenced. The Masters would probably know of the danger and seek to prepare humanity for the event.
