Casting a Locality or Relocated Chart

This section describes how to relocate a chart or to cast a chart for a locality.

The types of locality charts that may be calculated are...

•Relocated - calculated for the exact same time as the base chart, but for a different latitude and longitude.

•Geodetic - using either right ascension or longitude, and optionally allowing a user-defined geographic longitude base point. This technique involves adjusting the MC of the base chart according to a projection of the zodiac onto the earth’s surface.

•Johndro - using either right ascension or longitude. This technique is similar to the geodetic technique, but incorporates a zodiacal precession adjustment in fixing the base point longitude.

•You can create a locality chart based on any geocentric natal type chart. The house system and zodiac type of the resulting chart are always the same as that of the base chart that you have selected.

>> To relocate a chart

1.Choose Locality from the Chart menu.

2.Select the “Relocated” chart type from the Chart Type to Generate.

3.Enter the details of the location to which you wish to relocate the chart.

4.Select the OK button.

The relocated chart will be added to the list of "Calculated Charts" on the Main Screen.

>> To cast a Geodetic or Johndro type chart

1.Choose Locality from the Chart menu.

2.Select the required chart type from the Chart Type to Generate.

3.Enter the details of the location for which you wish the chart to be calculated.

4.Select the OK button.

If you have selected a User Geodetic chart type, then you will be prompted to enter the terrestrial longitude at which you wish the zodiac to start. In standard Geodetic charts, this longitude is 000W00 (i.e. the Greenwich meridian). The Geodetic or Johndro chart will be added to the list of "Calculated Charts" on the Main Screen.
