lines in the graph to see the patterns clearly. Usually, several

include all planets and chart points including the Moon. Also be
sure to select the include natal lines option. The program
provides many options for selecting or de-selecting almost any
planet or chart factor you want.
To the left of the screen select the Period of Report frame
for start date, period (number) and measure (years, months, days).
I would recommend 90 years for a lifetime sort. Now, select
View to be sure you have gotten what you want and make any
adjustments necessary before printing.
Graphing Declinations Using Matrixs Win*Star 2.0
Be certain that you have first entered the birth data and
created a chart file.
On the tool bar click on Plus and select Graphic Ephemeris
Options.
To select start date, choose Input and then type in the birth
month, day and year.
To select end date, choose Ephemeris Length and select
3 and months to produce a 90 day (or year) graphic. Of
course, the optimists among you may select 4 instead of 3.
Go to the tab at the top of the GEO box and select
Planets. Under the Positions option, select Transit.
From that screen select the Coordinate option and then
Declination. Under Dial option leave it as is, but highlight
Moon through Ascendant under Planets to plot.
Go to the Calculation Options tab at the top and select
Placidus or Koch, whatever is your choice of systems.
Then go to the Natal tab at the top. Select the desired
name under Natal Chart, and be sure Moon through
Ascendant are selected under Natal Planets to Plot. Click
on the box to Plot Natal Positions.
Click on OK at the bottom of the screen.

Practice
Part A: To practice hand calculation, choose only one of
your study charts and calculate the natal declinations for each
planet plus the Midheaven and the Ascendant using the same
method to calculate the natal chart positions in earlier lessons.
Calculate to the degree and minute of North or South Declination.
If you have an ephemeris that gives the declination positions every
day, or more often every third day, then count forward one day
for a year to the age you were at the key event you have chosen to

Suggested Reading

Press, 1994.
Note, the commonly used American Ephemeris published by
Astro-Computing Service does not contain declination listings.
However, Raphaels Ephemeris as well as the Rosicrucian
Ephemerides do. Of course all computer astrology programs
provide declinations in a variety of formats from natal listings to
graphic display of progressions.
