Solar Arcs, absolutely… but Lunar Arcs?

As far as Pluto on the angles, getting married is about as radical a change in one's life as any single person is going to make, I think!
I'm working on a (somewhat) more morbid example of the operation of these arcs, which is also looking significant, and which I'll post an analysis of shortly.
 
If I discover any nuggets in Sepharial's book I'll share them here.
Unfortunately, in The Science of Foreknowledge, Sepharial spends just a few pages (pp 132-140) laying out the Radix system without elaborating very much on it. Vivian Robson's The Radix System is more comprehensive, goes into more detail, has tables, examples, etc. Therefore I'd say if anyone is interested in the subject, get Robson's book instead.

However, the interest in the Radix method at this point in time is for the principles, the procedures and the delineations. The use of the true solar (and we're proposing, lunar arcs) as used in the current practice of Solar Arc directions, is preferable to the mean motions used by Sepharial and Robson, which is one good reason Solar Arcs have survived and the Radix system has not.
(Other possible reasons being the adoption of Solar Arcs by the Hamburg/Uranian and Cosmobiology schools, and the fact that many astrology software programs calculate Solar Arcs, but the Radix system still needs to be calculated manually, as least as far as I am aware.)

We're not advocating using the Radix system here, but rather to include with Solar Arc directions a Lunar Arc direction, as a companion technique, analogous to the "Minor" Lunar directions employed in the Radix system.
