Coordinates
Contents
When composing chart search conditions, "Coordinates" allows you select...
•A Planet, Point or Cusp – any of Solar Fire’s standard chart points, or any of the 12 house cusps
•A Point Modifier – a modifier to apply to the selected point or cusp, such as the ruler of that point, the degree almuten of that point, the antiscia of that point, the contra-antiscia of that point.
•A Coordinate Type – Longitude, Speed in Longitude, Latitude, Speed in Latitude, Right Ascension, Speed in Right Ascension, Declination, Speed in Declination, Azimuth, Altitude
•A Comparison Type – Less than (<), Less than or equal to (<=), Equal to (=), Greater than or equal to (>=), Greater than (>)
•A Comparison Value – the types of comparison value required depends on the coordinate type. A zodiacal position (including zodiac sign) is required for longitude, an angle from 0° to 360° is required for Right Ascension and Azimuth. An angle from -90° to +90° is required for Latitude, Declination and Altitude, and a daily rate of motion in degrees is required for any speed.
Examples: Sun Longitude is >= 15°Ta00’; Moon Speed in Longitude is >= 13°10’35”; Midheaven Altitude > 75°00’
Note: If you wish to test for a range of values, then you must create two conditions combined with a Boolean operator. For example, to test for the Sun being in the 3rd decanate of Libra, you would need to use two conditions combined with an AND operator i.e. Sun Longitude >= 20°Li00’ AND Sun Longitude < 0°Sc00’.
