DETERMINING ASTROLOGICAL DATA

The Uniglobe is an ideal representation of the positions of the sun, earth and planets at the time of one's birth. To determine the birth sign, place the sun in its position on the ecliptic for the date of birth. The sun will fall into one of the zodiacal regions on the ecliptic. The equinoctial birth sign is read on the lower side of the ecliptic; the sidereal birth sign on the upper.

Determine from an ephemeris for the year of birth the positions of the planets and the moon at the time of birth and plot their positions on the Uniglobe. The result is a birth chart.

To determine the rising sign, orient the earth and celestial globes for the time of birth and mark the position on the celestial globe directly over the place of birth. This determines the zenith direction at birth. Position the spanner rosettra over this position and extend it eastward to intersect the ecliptic at the 90° point on the spanner cursor. The zodiacal zign at the intersection is the rising sign. See Figure 42.
