An astrology chart is a picture of the heavens for a given place and time. Each chart or
"horoscope" shows the positions of the planets and signs in 12 divisions called houses.
Computer programs now make it possible for anyone to cast a chart, even without
knowledge of astrological techniques. But familiarity with how a chart is made is just as
important as the ability to interpret it. If you know how to calculate a horoscope by
hand, you can better understand how astrology works.

sidereal time for noon in Greenwich on January 1, 2001 is 18:44:50, according to
Astrological Houses
the "Astrolabe World Ephemeris 2001-2050."

seconds. Add the interval to the Noon Sidereal Time if the birth is after noon; Guide to Astrology:
Symbols, Chart &
subtract if it is before noon. 18:44:50 - 06:12:24 = 12:32:26. Houses

3 Accelerate the difference. Add 10 seconds per hour, or 1 second per 6 minutes. For
this example, the total is 62 seconds. Add the result to your calculations if the birth
was after noon; subtract if it was before noon. 12:32:26 - 00:01:02 = 12:31:24. How to Figure Your

from the next day's position if the birth is after noon. Subtract the previous day's :)

position from the birth date's position if it is before noon. Reverse this rule if the
planet is retrogade (i.e., temporarily appears to be moving backward).

degree of motion is 1.3802, according to the Table of Proportional Logarithms
given in "The A to Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator."

3 Calculate the difference between the Greenwich Mean Time for the horoscope and
the Greenwich Noon Time. A birth time of 5:48 a.m. Local Mean Time in the
example chart has an equivalent time in Greenwich of 2:00 p.m. The difference is 2
hours.

4 Find the logarithm for the difference. According to the Table of Proportional
Logarithms, the log for 2 hours is 1.0792.

5 Add the above log to the planetary motion log. For this example: 1.3802 + 1.0792 =
2.4594.

6 Convert the logarithm into motion. Look for its closest log in the Table of
Proportional Logarithms. If the nearest or exact log listed is 2.4594, the equivalent
motion is 5 minutes.

7 Add the motion to the planet's position if the birth is after Greenwich noon;
subtract if it is before noon. (Reverse this rule if the planet is retrogade.) If the sun's
position at noon in Greenwich was 11 degrees, 08 minutes Capricorn, this gives 11
degrees, 13 minutes in the same sign.

8 Place the planet in your astrology chart. Use the house cusps to find its correct
position. Repeat the above calculations for the other planets until the horoscope is
completed.
