HOW TO CALCULATE THE PLANETS’ POSITIONS 59
Venus will need logarithmic correction.
| Deg. | Min. | ||
Longitude of Venus on the noon after G.M.T. (Aug. 3)
|
Virgo | 6 | 21 |
Longitude of Venus on the noon before G.M.T. (Aug. 2)
|
Virgo | 5 | 9 |
Venus’ motion on the G.M.T. day
|
1 | 12 | |
Logarithm of Venus’ motion on G.M.T. day
|
1.3010 | ||
Logarithm of interval
|
1.0280 | ||
Logarithm of the Venus’ travel in interval
|
2.3290 | ||
Increment of correction (value of log, 2.3290 or the nearest thereto, in this case 2.3133) equal 0 degrees 7 min.
| |||
| Deg. | Min. | ||
Venus’ longitude on the noon nearest G.M.T. (Aug. 2)
|
Virgo | 5 | 9 |
Increment of correction
|
7 | ||
Venus’ long. to be entered in horoscope
|
Virgo | 5 | 16 |
Mercury also has moved sufficiently to make it desirable to calculate his exact longitude at G. M. T. of birth by logarithms—
| Deg. | Min. | ||
Longitude of Mercury on the noon after G.M.T.
|
Leo | 9 | 22 |
Longitude of Mercury on the noon before G.M.T.
|
Leo | 7 | 17 |
Mercury’s motion on the G.M.T. day
|
2 | 5 | |
Logarithm of Mercury’s motion on G.M.T. day
|
1.0614 | ||
Logarithm of interval
|
1.0280 | ||
Logarithm of the Venus’ travel in interval
|
2.0894 | ||
| colspan="4" Value of log, 2.0894, or increment of correction, 0 degrees 12 minutes.
