An example, using the moon:

                      Nonagesimal     18º Taurus 37’           =      48º 37’
                        The moon         22º Sagittarius 13’      =   262º 13’
                                                                                                                 --------------
                        Difference                                                 213º 36’
                        Subtract it from:                                        360º 00’
                                                                                                                         ---------------
                        Distance from the nonagesimal                 146º 24’

          3. Ecliptic latitude of the planet, as given in an ephemeris.

        In return for these three variables, the table gives the altitude (or local
        latitude north or south of the horizon) of the planet.
          Note: for the southern ecliptic hemisphere, if the zenith is inclined
        to the south of the ecliptic, the direction of a planet’s ecliptic latitude
        should be reversed before finding it in this table. It should be noted
        that north or south inclination of the zenith is not identical to north or
        south  axial  latitude:  it  is  possible  for  locations  within  the  northern
        tropics to be south of the ecliptic, and vice versa (see the formulae for
        the diurnal variation of the inclination of the zenith, above).




















                            North versus south inclination of the zenith to
                                       the ecliptic in relation to ecliptic latitude

        III. The third table: aspect between two planets.

          A  flat  horoscope  representing  the  two-dimensional  plane  of  the
        ecliptic  cannot  accurately  display  the  aspect  (or  geocentric  angle)
        between  planets.  This  owes  to  planets  rarely  being  at  the  point  of
        crossing the ecliptic, as was pointed out in discussion of the second
