Re: Astrology questions
You also need something to accurately measure angles in the sky. And if your version if Cidri has little curvature (e.g. because you think it is literally a sphere of massive size) then the effects of latitude are proportionally smaller and more difficult to measure accurately. If your version of Cidri is flat, there would be not latitude effects to measure.

Re: Astrology questions
The point remains that astronomy (as in measuring angles from local North and Up) combined with instant communications would quickly resolve which case applied.
Unless of course the world is Non-Euclidean. Then your astronomers would lose so many SAN points that they might as well be astrologers.

Re: Astrology questions
Could you please explain how instant communication will avail in determining East/West distance from an established reference point if either party does not know what time it is and cannot see the heavens?
