Abstract
A device and method for extracting information as to when the generalized geographical potentials defined at the individual's birth are likely to manifest themselves in time. The device and method provides and utilizes a transparent overlay that is superimposed on a map having loci of constant planetary angularities. The overlay has updated loci of planetary angularities on the same scale as the map. The reference longitude on the overlay is determined such that the local sidereal time at a given location is the same as the local sidereal time at that location at the time of the individual's birth. To maximize the useful information present on a given overlay, the faster moving planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) are progressed while the slower moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are transitted.

A device for displaying and permitting the extraction of astrological information relating to geographically correlated planetary influences on a person's life at a particular time comprising:
- a map of geographical locations of interest;
- means defining on said map a first set of loci of constant planetary angularity corresponding to planetary positions at the time of birth of said person;
- a translucent overlay having imprinted thereon a second set of loci of constant planetary angularity, said second set of loci being updated to represent conditions at said particular time, said overlay having longitude and latitude scales commensurate with said map and being capable of longitudinal movement relative to said map, wherein said second set of loci includes a first subset of loci which are derived from progressed information for said particular time relative to said time of birth, and further includes a second subset of loci which are derived from actual planetary positions at said particular time.
A device for displaying and permitting the extraction of astrological information relating to geographically correlated planetary influences on a person's life at a particular time comprising:
- means defining a map of geographical locations of interest;
- means defining on said map a first set of loci of constant planetary angularity corresponding to planetary positions at the time of birth of said person;
- and
- means for superimposing on said map a second set of loci of constant planetary angularity, said second set of loci being updated to represent conditions at said particular time, said means for superimposing permitting said second set of loci to be moved longitudinally relative to said first set of loci on said map.
A method of extracting astrological information relating to geographically correlated planetary influences on a person's life at a particular time, comprising the steps of:
- providing a map of geographical locations of interest;
- superimposing on said map a first set of loci of planetary angularity based on planetary positions at the time of birth of said person;
- providing a translucent overlay having scales commensurate with the scales on said map and having imprinted thereon a second set of loci of planetary angularity based on information relating to planetary positions related to said particular time;
- superimposing said overlay on said map with the latitude scales in registration;
- and
- longitudinally aligning said overlay with said map to extract said information.
