HOW TO CALCULATE THE PLANETS’ POSITIONS 67
find the motion of the Sun on the G. M. T. day as directed by Section Three:
| Deg. | Min. | ||
Long. of Sun on noon after G. M. T. (Aug. 3,)
|
Leo | 10 | 28 |
Long. of Sun on noon before G. M. T. (Aug. 2,)
|
Leo | 9 | 31 |
Sun’s motion on the G. M. T. day
|
57 | ||
Log. of Sun’s motion on G. M. T. day
|
1.4025 | ||
Logarithm of interval
|
.3912 | ||
Log. of Sun’s travel during interval
|
1.7937 | ||
| Deg. | Min. | ||
Value of logarithm 1.7937 (increment of correction) 0 degrees, 23 minute.
|
|||
Long. of Sun on noon nearest G. M. T.
|
Leo | 10 | 28 |
Minus increment of correction.
|
0 | 23 | |
Long. of Sun at G. M. T.
|
Leo | 10 | 5 |
This position may be entered in the horoscope.
In the last horoscope we added the increment of correction to the longitude of each planet because the G. M. T. was after noon. Here the G. M. T. is before noon hence we subtract the increment of correction from the longitude of each planet on the nearest noon to G. M. T. as directed by the rule Section Six (b).
| Deg. | Min. | ||
Long. of Moon on noon after G. M. T.
|
Pisces | 2 | 39 |
Long. of Moon on noon before G. M. T.
|
Aquarius | 17 | 55 |
Motion of Moon on the G. M. T. day
|
14 | 44 |
