subtracting from the vector, the cosine of the declination.

The inclination of the Moon's orbit to the ecliptic varies from 459' to 518'.

The Earth's orbit is, of course, the Ecliptic, hence the Sun can have no latitude. That it has
declination is due to the fact that the ecliptic makes an angle with the celestial equator of
approx. 235' - which is described, not as inclination but as the obliquity of the ecliptic. For
the inclination of the planets v. Nodes of the Planets.

Inconjunct. Dissociate. A planet is inconjunct when it forms no aspect and is not in parallel
of declination or mutual disposition to another planet. Dissociate was formerly applied by
some authorities to the 150 or Quincunx aspect, which they deemed inconsequential; but is
now applied to any two Signs or Houses which have no familiarity with each other - meaning
those which bear a twelfth, second, sixth and eighth House relationship, as Taurus, with
Aries, Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius.

Increasing in Light. Usually said of the Moon, but equally applicable to any planet which,
on leaving a conjunction with the Sun, increases in light, as viewed from the Earth; and as it
recedes from the opposition, decreases in light.

Increasing in Motion. A planet increases its motion by acceleration from day to day as it
approaches perihelion. When it is approaching its apogee, the Moon may advance 12 one
day and as much as 13 the next. As its mean motion is 1310' per day, any excess above this
indicates that the Moon is "swift in motion." The condition is regarded as fortunate. Older
authorities term it increasing in number.

Individual Houses. v. Houses.

Inferior Planets. The minor planets, those whose orbits are within that of the Earth: viz.:
Mercury and Venus. v. Planets.

Infortunes. Mars and Saturn. v. Planets, Malefic.

Ingress. Said of the entry of any orbital body into a Sign, or a quadrant. The Sun makes an
ingress into the Cardinal Signs at the equinoxes and solstices. The planets also have their
