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?
