; we therefore place 3°
on the cusp of the 4th house, and so on of the rest. It will, however, now be seen that the two signs
and
are missing; these signs are "intercepted," which means that they lie between two houses without occupying the cusp of either; they must, therefore, be placed in their order between the cusps of the houses. This is, of course, not always the case, and some horoscopes will have no intercepted signs.
HOW TO PLACE THE PLANETS.
In the Ephemeris the longitudes of the planets are given daily for mean noon; so, to find the exact place of a planet for a given time, we must note the difference of longitude between the previous noon and noon of the day for drawing the map for a.m. and for p.m., the difference between noon of the day and noon of the day after. This difference is the motion of the planet in 24 hours, which we must work thus: As 24 hours are to—hours (i.e., the difference between the given time and noon), so is the daily motion to the motion required. For example, the
