ladies) that there will be a thorough

From what has been said above, it
follows that a calculation of the Moon's
progressed motion for each month is very
important for reading results.
Suppose the Moon was at 27° Aquarius
52' at 5-30 P.M. (1ST) on 19-4-1933 which
corresponds'to its progressed position on
16th February, 1967 (Adjusted Calculation
date) for the native born at 7-30 P.M.
(1ST) on 16-3-1933. If we subtract the
Moon's longitude on a given day from its
longitude on the day following, the diffe-
rence obtained is its motion during the
intervening 24 hours representing 12
months in progression. Division of this
by 12, gives the rate of the Moon's
monthly travel. Subtracting 27° Aquarius
52' from 10° Pisces 50' where the Moon
was on 20-4-1933 at 5-30 P.M. (1ST), we
get 12° 58' as its progressed motion from
16-2-1967 to 16-2-1968, its monthly motion
being about 1° 5'. This monthly motion
should be added successively every month
to the longitude of the Moon given in the
Raphael's Ephemeris on 19-4-1933. As
the position of the Moon on 19-4-1933
refers, in progression, to 16-2-1967, succes-
sive additions of S" 5' refer to the Moon's
progressed position on the 16th March,
16th April, 16th May and so on till 16th
February, 1968,
One should be able to read the progres-
sed positions of the Moon in each year in
a short time so that it is possible to know
readily when a given aspect will fall due.
