table; that ecliptic latitude is ignored in the traditional method of
determining aspects. The third table provides a means of finding the
true aspect between two extraterrestrial bodies in three-dimensional
space, given their positions in ecliptic latitude and longitude.
Two cases can illustrate the distortions of the flat horoscope. The

moon and Pluto are used because they exhibit the greatest variations
in ecliptic latitude.

These are extreme cases; usually the true aspect between two
planets does not vary greatly from their difference in ecliptic longitude
alone. Apparent conjunctions and oppositions of the moon and Pluto
show the largest variance.
To use the table, first determine the closest number of whole
degrees between the ecliptic longitudes of two planets (a method of
doing this is described above in the discussion of the second table).
This integer corresponds to one of the three subtables on a page of the
entire table. Next, determine whether the latitudes of the two planets
are on the same or opposite sides of the ecliptic (both north or south,
or one north and the other south). This indicates which of the two sets
of columns is to be searched, SAME SIDE or OPP. SIDE. Finally,
find a pair of L1 and L2 entries corresponding to the two latitudes (to
the nearest whole degree). The number to their right is the aspect (to
the nearest whole degree).

problem for practitioners of traditional astrology. See “A Case for Astrology”, in
The Gluckman Occasional Number Four (2016).
