the signs in their proper positions relative to the houses, and that is as far as we will proceed at the present time, so we will leave this horoscope and calculate one for a person born six hours later in the same place: Chicago, August 2, 8.15 A. M,
We first have to find the True Local Time of Birth, As before, we add eight minutes to the time shown by the clock, namely 8:15 A. M. This gives us 8:23 A. M. which is the True Local Time of Birth,
Our rule for finding the Sidereal Time at the birth hour and place requires that we note the—
| | H. | M. | S. |
S. T. at Greenwich for noon previous to birth (Aug. 1st), as given in the Ephemeris

8 | 37 | |
Correction of 10 seconds for each 15 degrees W.
Long. of birthplace (Chicago, 88 W.)

Interval from previous noon (Aug. 1st) to the time of birth (Aug. 2nd, 8:28 A. M.)

Correction of 10 seconds for each hour of interval (20:23) equals 204 seconds

As there can be only twenty-four hours in a day, we subtract 24 where necessary, and work with the remainder, in this case 5-4-23 which was the true Sidereal Time in Chicago at the birth. This time, or the nearest thereto, we accordingly seek in the Table of Houses for the latitude of Chicago, 42 degrees N.
The nearest time is 5-3-29, and in line with that we find the degrees for the various cusps of our
