City Directions

The city directions report is a listing of cities which fall on or near local space lines for the current chart. It is sorted into planetary order, and then by alphabetical order of city name under each planet. Both conjunctions and oppositions to local space lines are included.

Select the “City Directions...“ item from the “Reports“ menu.

This will display the “City Directions” dialog box.

The planets are listed with their symbol, name and azimuthal direction from the current chart’s location. Under each planet are listed city lines, consisting of either a conjunction or opposition symbol, the city name, and the orb from exactness. For example, in the above listing, the city Atlanta falls opposite the Mars local space line within an orb of 2 degrees and 48 minutes of arc, and the city San Francisco falls conjunct the Mars local space line within an orb of 2 degrees and 47 minutes of arc. This would be apparent if one viewed local space lines on a world map - in this case you would see that the Mars line passed near to both Atlanta and San Francisco.

The cities which are included in this listing depend on the city file which is associated with the current map. For example, the above listing was produced whilst a world map was being viewed, and this map had the world.smc file associated with it. If necessary, you can select a different city file. See Editing Cities for instructions on how to do this.

Click on the required entry in the listing and click on the “Info“ button, or double click on the required entry in the listing.

In either case, you will then see the interpretations window with text relating to the local space line for the planet under which the selected entry falls in the listing.
