That's very cool. It is nice to at least know the knowledge behind how the computer software gets to it.I have all of the necessary reference materials to do it, and all of the personal forms and other home-made aids I made for myself, but I wouldn't dream of doing it any more (although I did validate my old hand calculations with the computer software and found they were accurate).
I think it still forms part of Astrology qualifications awarded by the professional bodies. I certainly had to construct them by hand using a calculator and table of houses. Indeed I think when I first tried to construct one, even calculators were rare and certainly couldn't do the advanced mathematics required.
Indeed we had a question within the last year, I think, on books that would show how this was done. The member was starting a course in Astrology and had to construct a chart by hand rather than using a computer.

I was going to start a course in one 2 or 3 years ago. But, the courses are always like a state over. :sad:
Thank you for the link. I'm checking out some books on horary astrology... but like ones i can get used for a good price. Just to introduce myself to the concept.
I like reading new stuff on metaphysics... it's better to have a bit of knowledge about everything. I am not sure if i be as great as both of you one day, but maybe just little baby steps to introduce myself. Never know i might really get into it.
Thank you both for the response. Sorry to veer off the topic a bit.
