How to Direct a Figure, by the Globe.
TO Direct a Figure is to examine how many degrees of the Equinoctial are moved Eastwards or Westwards, while a∣ny Planet or Star in one House comes to the Cusp or any other point of any other House.
When you would Direct any Promittor to any Hylegiacal point examine the degree of the Equator at the Meridian; then turn about the Globe till the Promittor come to the Hylegiacal point, and examine again the degree of the Equator at the Meri∣dian: and by substracting the lesser from the greater you will have the number of Degrees that passed through the Meridian whiles the place of the Promittor was brought to the Hy••••g••••∣cal point: and that number of degrees shall be the Arch of D••∣rection.
Example.
I would Direct the Body of the Moon in our Figure afore∣said to Medium C••••••, or the tenth House: I find by the Globe 20••. degr••es 30. minutes of the Equator at the Meridian with the ••eath House and turning the Globe till the prick made to represent the Moon come to the Meridian. I find 227, degrees 20, minutes of the Equator come to the Meridian with it. There∣fore I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the lesser from the greater viz. 2••3 degrees 3▪ minutes from 227. degrees 2••. minutes, and have remaining 2••▪ degrees 50 minutes.
This 〈◊〉〈◊〉. degrees 50. minutes shews that 23. Years 1••. Moneths must expire ere the Effects promised by the Moons pre∣sent position shall opperate upon the signification of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 House.
If the Body of the Moon had been Directed to any other point the•• 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Meridian or Horizon; you must have Elevated the Circle of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the point proposed; and have under-propped it to that 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉▪ have turned about the Globe till the prick 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Moon, had come to the Circle of Position; and then 〈◊〉〈◊〉 degrees of the Equator that should have passed
