Swift in Motion
A planet travelling faster than it average daily motion. According to Lilly, this is an accidental dignity of 2 points. "Slow in motion" is an accidental debility of 2 points. (Lilly's Point Systems). The moon is the most interesting body with regard to this principle, since it has the greatest (geocentric) variance in average daily motion, from xxxx to xxxxx. Mercury has the greatest heliocentric variance, xxxx to xxxx. [need reference on fast/slow moon] With regard to the speed of heliocentric Mercury, Sedgwick gives the following key words. Fast Mercury: precognitive, discriminating, active, impatient, precognitive, subjective. Slow: patient, deliberate, methodical, passive, attentive. Heliocentric Mercury's average daily motion is 4°06'

Synetic Point
Sidereal longitude of the vernal point in the precession of the Equinoxes. The Mean Sidereal Longitude of the SVP for the epoch BY1950.0 is defined to be 335°57'28.64", which is equivalent to an Ayanamsha of 24°02'31.36". Subsequent positions are obtained by applying both Precession and Nutation.
