About the book

The Rosicrucian Fellowship's short course in erecting a horoscope: what the ephemeris is, how to correct for longitude and time zone, how to find the cusps, how to read the aspects off the finished figure. Heindel wrote it as the arithmetic half of his astrology, with The Message of the Stars as the reading half.
