         APPENDIX A

         INTERPRETATION OF THE CHART


         An astrological chart contains an enormous amount of
         astronomical information relating to the positions of the
         constellations and planets at the time of birth.  An
         astrologer extracts special meaning from each piece of
         information.  The placing of the planets, sun, and moon in
         the houses is said to have meaning because each house is
         supposed to represent a separate area of the individual's
         interests.  The constellation in which each planet resides is
         supposed to control the disposition and fortune of the
         person. The aspects of the planets are supposed to show good
         tendencies or adverse ones. The Sextile and Trine are good
         aspects.  The Square and Opposition are adverse aspects.  The
         Conjunction may be either good or adverse.

         Because the amount of information is so large it is possible
         to give only a small sampling of it here.  The interpretation
         of the houses and aspects can be found in Ref. 1.  Below are
         meanings for the positions of the planets in the
         constellations.  The meanings are those presented in an
         astrology textbook dating from 1911(Ref. 6).  To find the
         position of each planet look in the position table in the
         upper right corner of the screen.  The first symbol is the
         planet.  The symbol after the number is the constellation of
         the zodiac.  Remember that you can click on "Symbols" from
         the menu to check the symbol table if you are not sure
         which is which.  Starting with the sun, from the first entry
         in the table determine which constellation it was in at the
         moment of birth.  This of course is the "sign" under which
         the child was born.  In the following tables look under the
         one starting with the words "sun in" for that constellation.
         Build up a character profile for the person by following this
         proceedure for each of the planets.  The textbook only went
         out to Saturn. Presumably this is because the influence of
         the outer planets had not been well established in 1911.  You
         may find obvious inconsistencies as you build the character
         profile.  These may mean the person has a complex personality
         and then the aspects must be considered in more detail.  Make
         some charts for your friends and see if you (and they!) agree
         with the meanings given in the textbook.
