Data is requested by a ? at the end of a line. When data is requested, type the data in the format described|} below and press the [RETURN] key. In these instructions we will use the symbol [RETURN] to remind you that this is one key. }}The computer will not act on any data entered until the [RETURN] key is pressed.For a natal horoscope you must enter the pl~}ace and time of birth as accurately as you know it. If you do not know the exact time it is customary to enter the time of su}nrise on the date of birth (6:00 AM will do if you have no idea what to enter). If you do not know the exact location of birt}h you should enter the location of a nearby city. A table of latitudes and longitudes for U.S. cities can be found in most a}lmanacs. The location can also be found from maps in a U.S. or world atlas. Two maps, one of the United States and one of th}e world, from which you can automatically enter the geographic location can also be displayed on the screen.Place of Birth}The point of the zodiac on the horizon at the time of a birth depends upon the place of birth. The ASTROLOGY program must kn}ow the location of the birth place in order to draw an accurate natal horoscope. Distance north and south of the earth's equa}tor is measured along a meridian. It is expressed in degrees and is called latitude. A circle around the world at constant la}titude is called a parallel. Distance along a parallel is also measured in degrees and is called longitude. By international }agreement the meridian that passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, is used as the prime meridian. The lo}ngitude of any place on that meridian is 0(zero) degrees. For the ASTROLOGY program the longitudes required to set up the ast}rology maps must be entered as east longitudes, i.e. the longitude measured in degrees east from Greenwich. This will range f}rom 0 to 360 degrees. Many maps, especially those of the Western Hemisphere, are labeled in west longitude. A west longitude }may be entered into the program at the prompt for the east longitude. To do that you type a minus sign in front of the west l}ongitude.Geographic CoordinatesYou may type in values for the geographic coordinates or input the coordinates by placing }a crosshair over the location on either a U.S. or world map.When you press [START] to begin the program the following menu }will appear on the screen: ** PLACE OF BIRTH ** U - U.S. MAP W - WORLD MAP C - COORDINATES ENTER L}ETTER FOR YOUR CHOICE?If you know the values for the east longitude and the north latitude type C for the prompts to enter }the values. The input formats for longitude and latitude are described below.If you do not know the values there are two m}aps available to help. If the place is located in the United States (except Alaska and Hawaii) type U to display a U.S. map.} Otherwise type W to display a world map.Near the center of the map you will see a pink crosshair. Using the four keys wi}th arrows move the crosshair near the location of birth. If you depress only an arrow key the crosshair will rapidly move in} large jumps in the direction indicated by the arrow. When you get close to the location you want, depress and hold down the} key on the left marked [CTRL]. When you use the arrow keys this will give you fine control to accurately position the cross}hair. As you move the crosshair the values of the geographic coordinates under the crosshair are displayed below the map.W}ith the crosshair over the place of birth press the [RETURN] key. This will automatically enter the coordinates into the AST}ROLOGY program.Note: Before you type [RETURN] you should write down the coordinates for future reference. If you need the }same location again you can save time by entering the values the next time without using a map. EAST LONGITUDEIf }you are located in Los Angeles your east longitude is 240 degrees. This corresponds to 120 degrees west longitude. At the pro}mpt: EAST LONGITUDE in DEGREESyou would enter the east longitude in the form: 240 [RETURN]You could also} have entered the west longitude in the form: -120 [RETURN] LATITUDEThe latitude of Los Angeles is 34 degrees n}orth of the equator. The program requires the north latitude. For places south of the equator enter the latitude as a negativ}e number by typing a minus sign before the value. For Los Angeles, at the prompt NORTH LATITUDE in DEGREESyou en}ter the latitude in the form: 34 [RETURN] Time of BirthThe following values must be entered to give the time of bir}th: DATE: MONTHYou may either enter the number of the month from 1 to 12, or one of the following three-letter }abbreviations: JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV or DEC. DAYYou must enter the number of the day }of the month. The number should be between 1 and 31. YEARYou may enter the full year such as 1981 or you may abbrevia}te the year, like 81. If you abbreviate the year 1900 is added to the number you enter. LOCAL TIME: TIME ZONE CON}VERSIONThe time of birth must also include the time zone. You must enter the abbreviation for the time zone. A list of time}-zone abbreviations will appear on the screen after you enter the year of birth. If your time zone is not listed on the scree}n or if you do not know the time zone type [RETURN] and the program will estimate the time zone from the geographic coordinat}es. If your time zone is listed on the screen type the three letter abbreviation shown for it.The abbreviations on the scr}een stand for the following time zones: EST - Eastern Standard Time EDT - Eastern Daylight Time CST - Central} Standard Time CDT - Central Daylight Time MST - Mountain Standard Time MDT - Mountain Daylight Time PST }- Pacific Standard Time PDT - Pacific Daylight Time GMT - Greenwich Mean Time BST - British Summer Time W}ET - Western European Time CET - Central European Time EET - Eastern European Time HOUREnter the hour of th}e day by entering a number between 0 and 12 if you are using a twelve hour clock or between 0 and 24 if you are using a twent}y-four hour clock. MINUTESEnter a number between 0 and 59 AM, PM or 24If you are using a twelve-hour clock en}ter AM for times before noon or PM for noon and times after noon. If you are using a twenty-four hour clock enter 24.------}---------------------------- 5 THE ASTROLOGY CHARTAn astrology chart shows in symbolic form the positions of the si}gns of the zodiac and of the sun, moon and planets as seen from a particular place on earth at a given time. A natal chart, }for example, is a map of the earth-centered universe at the moment of birth. Once every twenty-four hours the earth makes a c}omplete rotation on its axis. This motion is what makes it appear that the stars and planets are moving overhead. Ptolemy, }the famous greek astrologer, divided the sky into eight segments called houses. Later astrologers added four more houses so t}hat today there are twelve. The houses remain motionless as seen from earth. The stars and planets move through the houses on}ce each day. On an astrology chart the earth is represented by a small circle at the center. Around the circumference of th}e outer circle are the signs of the zodiac. The intervening space between the zodiac and the earth is divided into twelve ho}uses by twelve spokes spaced at angles of 30 degrees. These spokes are known as cusps. The two cusps lying horizontally rep}resent the horizon. The chart is oriented so that the eastern horizon is to the left, the western is to the right.

Kennedy Appendix C - Display Program Addendum } ---------------------------------- 1 INTRODUCTIONOverviewGenerate an astrological chart for your fri}ends and relatives with your personal computer. The ASTROLOGY program computes the location of the sun, moon and planets at }the time of a person's birth and displays the result on a horoscope using high-resolution graphics. A chart of the aspects o}f the sun, moon and planets is also displayed below a table of their positions. To generate a chart you are prompted to enter} the place and time of the person's birth. Keplerian elements are used to compute the position of the planets to an accuracy} of one degree for any time this century. You may also save a chart on a disk file for later display or for printing on a gr}aphics printer.Minimum RAM and accessoriesTo use the ASTROLOGY program, you will need the following ATARI equipment: } REQUIRED ACCESSORIES 40K RAM minimum Disk Drive ATARI BASIC Language---------------------------}------- 2 GETTING STARTEDSet up your equipment and load the program as follows:1. If you are using an ATARI 8}00 computer install an ATARI BASIC (Computing Language) Cartridge into the LEFT cartridge slot in the computer console. Basi}c is already available in the 800XL and 130 XE computers.2. Insure that the computer power is OFF.3. Turn on disk dri}ve and wait for the busy light on the disk drive to go off.4. Turn on TV or monitor.5. Insert the ASTROLOGY program d}iskette into the disk drive and close the disk drive door.6. Switch the POWER switch on the computer console to ON. After} a short period of loading the disk operating system, the READY prompt will appear on the television screen.7. Shortly a }logo will appear on the screen giving the program name - ASTROLOGY, the author, and the version number. The logo will remain} on the screen while the ASTROLOGY program loads into computer memory.8. After the ASTROLOGY program is loaded, a title i}nviting you to make a horoscope will appear on the screen.9. Press the [START] key in the lower right corner of the keyboa}rd and you are ready to begin to use the ASTROLOGY program.10. The prompts for the input data will then appear on the scree}n.Entering dataThe formats for the input data are described in Sections 3 and 4. Please refer to those sections while you} are learning to use the program.Error messagesYou may occasionally get an error message on the screen in the form: } ERROR nnnwhere nnn is a number. These error messages come from the BASIC language program running the ASTROLOGY program. T}hey mean that the program is unable to perform an instruction. The reason for each ERROR message is described in Appendix B o}f the ATARI BASIC REFERENCE MANUAL. If you see an ERROR displayed on the screen you should check the disk drive to be sure i}t is on. You will have to begin again by simply typing: RUN [RETURN]---------------------------------- 3 SAV}ING A CHARTA chart drawn by the ASTROLOGY program may be saved on a disk for later display. With the appropriate software} and printer the chart may then be reloaded into the computer and printed on a graphics printer.Save to diskThe save-to-d}isk feature transfers the high-resolution graphics screen data to a disk file. When you press [START] to begin to use the AS}TROLOGY program you will be prompted to enter the name under which you want to save the data. Type the filename.The rules f}or filenames are given in the Disk Operating System II Reference Manual. You should remember the following three in particul}ar: * The maximum length of a filename is eight characters. * The only characters that can be used in a filename }are the capital letters A through Z, and the numbers 0 through 9. * The first character in a filename is always an alph}abetical character.You can add a three-character extender to a filename to indicate the type of information in the file. A} period is required to separate the filename from the extender if an extender is used. For example, if you call a data file }MYCHART, you might name it MYCHART.DAT. When the ASTROLOGY program prompts you to enter a filename, you would enter MYCHART.}DAT for this file.If you type [RETURN] without entering a filename, you will continue with the program but you will not be }able to save the chart when it is completed.After you enter the filename, you will be prompted for the number of the disk d}rive. If you have only one drive, enter 1. If you have more than one drive, enter the number of the one you wish to use to }store the chart.The ASTROLOGY program disk must be in disk drive #1 each time the chart first begins to appear on the scree}n. You are reminded of this after you enter the disk drive number for saving the chart. If you are using only one drive, re}move the ASTROLOGY program disk and replace it with a data disk when the chart is complete.When the chart is completed, pre}ss the [OPTION] key on the right of the keyboard to save the chart. Be sure that there is a formatted disk in the disk drive} before pressing [OPTION]. If there is a disk error, a tone will sound twice. Check the disk and the drive then try again. } Possible problems that will cause an error here are forgetting to replace the ASTROLOGY program disk with a formatted data d}isk, and trying to use a disk that does not have enough room available for a complete chart. A chart requires 62 sectors on }the disk. In either case you can change the disk and proceed.After the chart is saved, a single tone will sound. You then} proceed by pressing [SELECT] to alternately view the chart and the symbol table and pressing [START] to begin another chart.}Loading a chartThe charts that you save on data disks can be reloaded by an appropriate program for display and printing }to a graphics printer. A short BASIC Language program to display a chart from the data disk is included in Appendix C. This}n is toward the top and the point opposite mid-heaven is toward the bottom. The zodiac signs are located on the cusps of the} houses. The sign on each cusp is determined by the position of the zodiac at the exact time of birth. The sign at the left }then is the sign that was rising at the moment of birth. The sign at the right is the sign that was setting at the moment of }birth. The system of house division devised by Morinus (Ref. 1) is used in the ASTROLOGY program. Since the rising sign, also} known as the Ascendant, is supposed to have a dominant influence, that sign is computed for the exact latitude of birth. T}he chart is completed by locating each of the planets in the proper house at the moment of birth.AspectsThe relationships} of the planets in the houses are supposed to give information about the person whose map is being studied. These relationshi}ps are called aspects. An aspect is defined as the angular distance between two planets. Two planets are said to be in conju}ntion when they are close together in angular separation (at an angle of 8 to 10 degrees from each other). If the two planet}s are opposite each other (about 180 degrees) they are said to be in opposition. Two planets are said to be in sextile if th}ey are about 60 degrees apart. Planets about 90 degrees apart are said to be in square. Two planets about 120 degrees apart} are said to be in trine. The ASTROLOGY program computes the aspects for each pair of planets and prints a table of the resu}lts on the screen.Screen DisplayThe ASTROLOGY program draws a high-resolution astrology chart on the screen. The chart co}nsists of an inner circle representing the earth and an outer circle representing the zodiac. The intervening space is divid}ed into the twelve houses. The number one (1) identifies the first house, that is the house that is just below the eastern h}orizon. The remaining houses are numbered counterclockwise from the first house to the twelfth. These numbers are not shown }to avoid cluttering the screen.The exact Ascendant for the latitude and longitude of birth is calculated next and the resul }t is placed in the upper left corner of the screen.The signs of the zodiac occupying the cusp of each house are computed ne }xt and the appropriate symbol of the zodiac is placed at each cusp. The number under each symbol is the number of degrees int }o the sign of the zodiac occupying the cusp. For example if the eastern horizon is 18 degrees into the zodiac sign Aries th }en the number 18 appears under the sign for Aries.The positions of the planets at the time of the map are calculated and th }e symbol for each planet is located in the proper house. The 'exact' positions are tabulated in the upper right corner of th}e screen. The symbol of the planet is follow by the position of the planet in degrees within the sign in which it is located}. The positions have been determined using mean elements for the inner planets from Ref. 4 and mean elements for the outer pl}anets from Ref. 5. The error in positions between the years 1900 and 2000 is generally less than one degree.The aspects of }the planets are calculated and shown symbolically in the lower right corner of the screen. In reading charts, astrologers }usually allow for several degrees on either side of an aspect point. This allowance is called an orb. Typical orbs can be a}s large as 10 degrees. In calculating the aspects in the ASTROLOGY program an orb of 5 degrees was used. By using a smaller} orb the slight errors in position of the planets do not introduce extraneous aspects in the table. In fact the opposite is }true. Only strong aspects are included.SymbolsStandard astrological symbols for the planets and the signs of the zodiac }are drawn on the screen using a redefined character set in the ATARI Computer. The symbols are defined in a symbol table that} can be displayed on the screen. To display the symbol table press the [SELECT] key at the right of the keyboard when you ar}e viewing a completed chart. A tone will sound to let you know that the chart is done. Each time it is pressed, the [SELECT}] key will toggle the screen display between the chart and the symbol table. Using the symbol table you can readily identify }each symbol on the chart.Note: If you accidentally press the [BREAK] key or the [SYSTEM RESET] key while the program is run}ning you may find that the screen displays are incorrect when you try to rerun the program. If this is the case turn off the} power to the computer and turn it back on again. This will clear the computer memory and reload the ASTROLOGY program from }the disk into the computer. You will have to input the data for the chart again.Reading the ChartThe ASTROLOGY program p}erforms the astronomical calculations required to draw an astrological chart. It does not provide an interpretation of the c}hart. You can find many books with astrological interpretations in a library or popular book store. An interesting history  }of astrology together with a discussion of its influence can be found in Ref. 3.Some notes to help you interpret a chart ar!}e given in Appendix A.When you are finished with a chart you can generate a new chart by pressing the [START] key in the low"}er right corner of the keyboard.HousesThe system of house division used in the ASTROLOGY program is that of Morinus (Ref.#} 1). In this system the houses depend only on the Star Time (Local Sidereal Time) at the place of birth. The Ascendant, of $}course, depends on the latitude of the birth. That is why it is listed in the upper left corner of a Morinus Chart.Other s%}ystems are Placidus (used in Ref. 7), Natural Graduation, and Equal House Division. In the Placidus system, the cusp of the &}First House is the Ascendant. The house division thus depends on both the Star Time and the latitude at the place of birth. '} The Equal House Division system starts with the Ascendant on the cusp of the First House. It then locates the other cusps w(}ith the same degree in succeeding signs of the zodiac.The signs and degrees for the cusps can be quite different at the sam)}e time and location for the various systems. Be sure to note the house division systems used when comparing charts.Accurac*}yThe locations of the sun, moon, and planets are determined from mean elements obtained from Ref. 4 and Ref. 5. The accura+}cy of the Right Ascension and Declination from which the positions on the zodiac are computed are typically 0.5 degrees. The,} positions on the zodiac are rounded to the nearest degree for all of the bodies except the sun. Lyndoe (Ref. 1) rounds all o-}f the calculations. Sakoian and Acker (Ref. 7) take the integer part of the degree when tabulating the positions of the plan.}ets by sign and house.We chose to round the positions so that the planets would be located most accurately. For the sun, h/}owever, we take the integrer part so that, for example, a person born at 29.9 minutes in Aquarius will not show as being bor0}n at 0 minutes in Pisces.The position of a planet by house and the aspects are computed using the full accuracy of the prog1}ram, i.e. without rounding.----------------------------------- 6 REFERENCESAn introduction to astrology can b2}e found in many popular books available at a local library or bookstore.The ASTROLOGY program is based upon the system of h3}ouses described in:1.

Acker, Harper & Row, New York, 1973.asy-to-read voluml APPENDIX A INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARTAn astrological chart contains an enormous amount of astronomical info=}rmation relating to the positions of the constellations and planets at the time of birth. An astrologer extracts special mea>}ning 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 r@}esides is supposed to control the disposition and fortune of the person. The aspects of the planets are supposed to show goodA} tendencies or adverse ones. The Sextile and Trine are good aspects. The Square and Opposition are adverse aspects. The ConB}junction may be either good or adverse.Because the amount of information is so large it is possible to give only a small saC}mpling of it here. The interpretation of the houses and aspects can be found in Ref. 1. Below are meanings for the positionD}s of the planets in the constellations. The meanings are those presented in an astrology textbook dating from 1911(Ref. 6). E} To find the position of each planet look in the position table in the upper right corner of the screen. The first symbol isF} the planet. The symbol after the number is the constellation of the zodiac. Remember that you can depress the SELECT key oG}n the keyboard to check the symbol table if you are not sure which is which. Starting with the sun, from the first entry in H}the table determine which constellation it was in at the moment of birth. This of course is the "sign" under which the childI} was born. In the following tables look under the one starting with the words "sun in" for that constellation. Build up a cJ}haracter profile for the person by following this proceedure for each of the planets. The textbook only went out to Saturn. K}Presumably this is because the influence of the outer planets had not been well established in 1911. You may find obvious inL}consistencies as you build the character profile. These may mean the person has a complex personality and then the aspects mM}ust be considered in more detail.

KENNEDYTo help you run the ASTROLOGY program and read the screen displays, the input needed to create} the natal chart for President John F. Kennedy is shown below. This is followed by a description of the resulting chart. Th}e chart that should appear when you correctly enter the input is shown in Figure 1.President John F. Kennedy was born in Br}ookline, Massachusetts on May 29, 1917 at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.A [RETURN] is assumed to terminate each line of you}r input.** PLACE OF BIRTH **U - U.S. MAPW - WORLD MAPC - COORDINATESENTER LETTER FOR CHOICE?C** GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIO}N **EAST LONGITUDEin DEGREES?288.9 (or -71.1)NORTH LATITUDEin DEGREES?42.3** TIME OF BIRTH **DATE:MONTH?MAYDAY}?29YEAR?1917--- TIME ZONE CONVERSION ---ENTER CHOICE?ESTLOCAL TIME:HOUR?3MINUTES?0AM, PM or 24?PMThe follow}ing summary will then be displayed:CHART OF AN IMPORTANT PERSONBorn: 29 May 1917 atTime: 20 h 0 m GMTLongitud}e: 288.9 deg EastLatitude: 42.3 deg NorthSidereal Time: 7 h 43 mAfter you press [RETURN] the chart shown in Figure 1 wil}l be created.On the chart Uranus is located in the Fourth House; Jupiter, Mars and Mercury are located in the Seventh Hous}e; Venus and the Sun are located in the Eighth House; Pluto is in the Ninth House; Saturn and Neptune are located in the Tent}h House; and the Moon is located in the Eleventh House.The Ascendant is at 20 deg in Libra.The First Cusp is 24 deg in Li}bra, the Second Cusp is 23 deg in Scorpio, etc.The positions of the planets among the constellations of the zodiac are give}n in the upper right corner of the screen as follows: the Sun is 7 deg in Gemini, the Moon is 15 deg in Virgo, Mercury is 21} deg in Taurus, Venus is 16 deg in Gemini, Mars is 18 deg in Taurus, Jupiter is 23 deg in Taurus, Saturn is 28 deg in Cancer,} Uranus is 24 deg in Aquarius, Neptune is 3 deg in Leo, and Pluto is 3 deg in Cancer.Using the information in the preceedin}g paragraph you can now interpret the chart for John Kennedy using the text-book material in Appendix A. For example Venus i}n Gemini signifies a person with a loving, just and humane disposition with good natural abilities.The aspects are given in} the table at the lower right of the screen. From the table we find that the Sun is in Sextile with Neptune, the Moon is in }Square aspect with Venus and Trine with Mars, Mercury is in Conjunction with Mars and Jupiter, and Square with Uranus, Mars i}s in Conjunction with Jupiter, Jupiter is in Square with Uranus,and Saturn is in Conjunction with Neptune. According to Lynd}oe (Ref. 1) the conjunctions of Mercury are good but the conjunction between Saturn and Neptune is adverse. On balance the a}spects for John F. Kennedy were reasonably good.----------------------------------- APPENDIX C DISPLA}Y PROGRAMThe enclosed disk contains two utility programs for use with the ASTROLOGY program. They are written in the Atar}i Basic language and will display a chart from a disk file if the chart was saved according to the instructions in this manua}l. The program DISPLAY will display the chart on the screen only. The program DISPLAY.LPR is similar to that program. Howe}ver it also contains a screen dump program to produce a 40 column wide image of the chart on an Epson graphics printer.To r}un one of these programs, press [BREAK] at Step 9 in the instructions on page 2 for loading the ASTROLOGY program. A message} that the program has stopped will appear on the screen. Carefully type: RUN "D:DISPLAY" or RUN "D:DISPLAY.LPR" then press [}RETURN]. The appropriate program will load into the computers memory and the following prompt will appear on the screen: } ENTER FILENAME?Enter the filename using the same name and form that you used when you entered the filename for saving th}e chart.Then the following prompt will appear: ENTER DRIVE NUMBER?Enter the number of the disk drive for the disk c}ontaining the chart.If an error occurs, you will be reminded to check the disk and try again. If the file is found on the }disk, the chart will be displayed on the screen. It will take about eight seconds for the entire chart to appear.Printing t}he ChartIf you have loaded the program DISPLAY.LPR and you have the appropriate Epson graphics printer, press the [OPTION] }key on the right of the keyboard to transfer the screen image to the printer. It should take about one minute. The image wi}ll be approximately 40 columns wide. When you are finished with the chart, press the [START] key at the right side of the key}board. The prompt will appear to enter another filename. In this way you can rapidly recall all of the charts on the disk.}oard. The prompt will appear to enter another filename.
