THE RISING SIGN AND THE TWELVE HOUSES 41
tercepted, We commence our count at Aries, and find that all twelve signs are represented, and it is therefore at a stage of completion where we decide to leave it for the present.
We next proceed to east the horoscope for a person born at Chicago, August 2, at 2:15 P. M. True Local Time of Birth is 8 minutes later or 2:23 P. M. We find that the previous noon is August 2nd and so we start our calculations as follows:
| | H. | M. | S. |
S. T. at Greenwich for noon previous to birth (Aug. 2nd)
|
8 | 41 | |
Correction of 10 seconds for each 15 degrees W. Long. of birthplace (88 degrees)
|
59 | ||
Interval from previous noon to the time of birth (noon to: 2:23 P. M.)
|
2 | 23 | |
Correction of 10 sec’s for each hour of interval
|
24 | ||
S. T. at birthplace on birth hour
|
11 | 5 | 23 |
Turning to our Tables of Houges for latitude 42°n., we find the nearest S. T. to be 11-4-46,
In the first column under latitude 42°n, is the figure 15; the sign Virgo and the figure 10 are at the top of the column. Therefore we place 15 degrees of Virgo on the Tenth Cusp.
The second column has the figure 16, Libra and the figure 11 at the top, so 16 degrees of Libra is placed on the Eleventh House.
The figure 10 is in the third column, and the sign Seorpio between our line and the top, therefore we
disregard the sign at the top, but note the figure 12,
