Page 7 - Three New Tables for an Astrology of Three Dimensions
P. 7
Thus, by relying on an establishing position within the axial
coordinate system vis-à-vis the ecliptic system, the old tables of houses
are ineffective beyond the upper limits of the intersection of those two
systems.
Using the Tables
As with ephemerides, interpolation between entries can be
accomplished with logarithms.
I. The first table: nonagesimal and inclination of the zenith to the
ecliptic.
This table converts axial latitude and longitude (represented by
Sidereal Time) into ecliptic coordinates. The nonagesimal (NON) is
given in the familiar modulus-30 degrees of the zodiac; that result is
the ecliptic longitude of the terrestrial position, as well as being the
highest (or “culminating”) point of the ecliptic above the horizon. The
inclination of the zenith to the ecliptic (INCL) is defined as the angle
of the zenith either north or south of the ecliptic (not of the equator);
that result subtracted from 90º yields the local latitude (altitude) of the
nonagesimal.
If R = 0º Aries, then the arc RQ (in degrees of the zodiac)
is the nonagesimal of P.
