North Azimuth Table
(Supplement, 1974)
Introduction
In Three New Tables, an explanation is given for the necessity of
considering space in three dimensions when casting and interpreting
horoscopes. The reader should be familiar with the text of Three New
Tables before proceeding further. The table presented here provides the
coordinate position omitted from that book: azimuth, or local
longitude. Although azimuth may relate to any point on the horizon,
its measurement is commonly begun at the intersection of the horizon
with the line of axial longitude crossing the zenith of a local position.
Values of north azimuth range from 0º to 360º, going clockwise from
axial north.
As seen from P, X and Y have the same azimuth.
Z’s azimuth is 180º away from that of Z and Y.
The best reason for including azimuth in astrological reckoning is
the possibility of interaction between the earth’s magnetic field and
fields emanating from other bodies in the solar system. If such fields
do in fact influence life on this planet, it may be expected that their
intensity varies with their intensification by or interference with the
earth’s own magnetic field. At azimuths 0º and 180º, a planet is in line
with local lines of force; at 90º and 270º, it is at right angles. The
altitude of a planet (as derived in Three New Tables), must be included in
