To draw up an accurate and detailed horoscope of a person, to determine whether it is worth starting any important business on a certain day, you need to know in which sign certain planets were or will be on the day you need. You can find out with the help of a professional astrologer, or you can do it yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
To determine the sign in which this or that planet is located, you will need the most accurate geographical coordinates, date and time accurate to the minute and second of the desired event: the birth of a child, the beginning of a court hearing, etc. If it is impossible to establish the exact time, use the most approximate - there are methods for subsequent adjustment. Geographic latitude and longitude are determined using atlases and maps. You will also need ephemeris tables for the required period. Ephemeris are issued both as separate editions and additions to astrological journals. There are tables of ephemeris for a century, for a decade, for a year, it remains only to choose the desired period of time.
Step 2
Make a template for the cosmogram, where you can mark the found values for all the planets in order - Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and others. It will also help you to immediately establish connections, oppositions, squares and other aspects of the horoscope. Draw a circle on paper, divided into twelve sectors along a line of diameter, 30 degrees each. The sectors correspond to the sign of the zodiac, starting with Aries (first from the left below the horizon line) and going counterclockwise in order. For convenience, they can be signed immediately. Each sector is divided, in turn, into decades - three equal parts of 10 degrees. The strength of its influence often depends on which decade the planet is in. As a result, on the template, the tip (beginning of the sector) of Aries, corresponding to the vernal equinox (March 21), should point to the East and be the origin point. Degrees of absolute longitude (from 0 to 360) are also plotted straight along the sectors in the same direction counterclockwise. Each sector, in turn, is divided by degrees of its relative longitude (from 0 to 30). Thus, 13 degrees Gemini (relative longitude) would be equal to 73 degrees absolute longitude.
Step 3
After the geographic coordinates of the place have been found and the template for the cosmogram has been prepared, start calculating the time of the event relative to the Greenwich time, because the ephemeris tables are oriented to zero longitude. Let's say a person was born on December 4, 1975 at 13 o'clock in Moscow. After the required day is found in the ephemeris table, the calculation of the time of birth (the beginning of the event) begins: 1) We take as a basis 13.00 (00 GMT + 13 hours of birth); 2) Degrees of longitude are converted into hours and minutes - the geographical longitude of Moscow is 37 ′ 30 ″, and one degree of longitude is 4 minutes, you need to add 37x4 = 148 and 30x4 = 120; 120/60 = 2; 148 + 2 = 150 minutes or another 2.5 hours. As a result, it turns out 15 hours 30 minutes3) It is important to take into account the daylight saving time (if a person was born after 1930, when the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was adopted and all the time in the country, with the exception of Bessarabia and the Baltic states, was transferred one hour ahead). Here it is necessary, thus, it is already 16 hours 30 minutes4) Summer time on the territory of the former Soviet Union was adopted only in 1980, this amendment can be ignored here. But if the date of birth is later than October 24, 1980, you need to add another 1 hour. If the total amount is more than 24, for example, 30, you should subtract the day - 24 hours, and in this case take 6 o'clock in the morning of the next day for the time of birth.
Step 4
According to the ephemeris table, it is necessary to determine the speed and direction of each planet - this is easy to do by comparing the desired day and the next (calculate the difference between its movements). Depending on the speed of the planet, using simple arithmetic operations, calculate its location at the time of birth. After this has been done with all the necessary planets, the map will be ready for decryption. Some planets can move backwards - this is necessarily indicated in the ephemeris. It is important to take this into account, especially noting it on the template.
