Part ATime

Line	Operation and rule	Working	Result
A1	Birth date, civil
A2	Clock time, 24-hour
A3	Summer time in force?if Y subtract 1h · older war time may be 2h · stated on the bench
A4	Standard time = A2 − A3
A5	Zone offset from GreenwichWest add · East subtract
A6	Universal Time = A4 + A5if 24h or more subtract 24h and move A7 forward a day · if below 0 add 24h and move A7 back
A7	UT datemay differ from A1 · every plate row is read on this date

Part BSidereal time

Line	Operation and rule	Working	Result
B1	Plate GST at midnight (0h UT) on the A7 dateread from the ephemeris row for A7
B2	Interval since 0h = A6
B3	Acceleration = B2 × 9.86 s per hourCheck: always under 4 minutes
B4	Greenwich sidereal time at birth = B1 + B2 + B3carry at 60
B5	Longitude in time = longitude × 4 min per degreeEast add · West subtract
B6	Local sidereal time = B4 + B5if 24h or more subtract 24h
B7	Southern hemisphere?if Y add 12h to B6 and normalise · this is the table entry

Part CAngles and cusps

Line	Operation and rule	Working	Result
C1	Table rows bracketing B7: lower ST, upper STrows are 4 minutes apart
C2	Fraction f = (B7 − lower) in seconds ÷ 240Check: always between 0 and 1
C3	MC: lower, upper, difference, × f, + lowerthe same for every latitude
C4	Latitude rows bracketing the birth: lower, upper; fraction gtable rows are 1° apart
C5	11 12 ASC 2 3 as columns: at the lower latitude, at the upper latitude, then by ga column that looks unlike its neighbours is the column with the mistake
C10	Southern? Reverse every sign on C3 and C5degrees and minutes unchanged
C11	Opposites: IC = MC + 180, DSC = ASC + 180, 5 6 8 9 = 11 12 2 3 + 180same degree and minute, opposite sign

Part DBodies

Line	Operation and rule	Working	Result
D:sun	Sun: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:moon	Moon: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:mercury	Mercury: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:venus	Venus: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:mars	Mars: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:jupiter	Jupiter: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:saturn	Saturn: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:uranus	Uranus: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:neptune	Neptune: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:pluto	Pluto: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts
D:trueNode	True Node: this midnight, next midnight, motion, × A6 ÷ 24, positionnegative motion is retrograde, write R · a negative travel subtracts

Part EFigure and aspects

Line	Operation and rule	Working	Result
E1	Cusps on the wheel. ASC at the left, houses counterclockwise, C11 filled
E2	Bodies into houses by comparing D5 with the cuspsnote any body within 1° of a cusp
E3	Aspectarian: the five Ptolemaic aspects, applying or separating from motionorbs as on the free transits surface

Part FReceipt

Line	Operation and rule	Working	Result
F	Receipt: paper, Moira, Δ, cause for every computed line

Part F · continuationPaper-to-Moira discrepancy account
