Market Analyst Astronomical Edition includes a fully user definable 3D Ephemeris. The Ephemeris will instantly display any number of planets, asteroids, node positions and other planetary bodies, allowing you to easily identify key planetary relationships.

The Market Analyst 3D Ephemeris is broken up into the 12 houses of the zodiac. The Market Analyst 3D ephemeris also takes into account declination, displaying the planetary bodies in their true position according to Longitude and Declination.

Opening the Ephemeris

To access the Ephemeris, select the New button from the Market Analyst Menu buttons.

From the list of options available, select Astro and then Ephemeris.

The Ephemeris at a Glance

The Ephemeris

The Market Analyst 3D Ephemeris shows the 360 degree circle with the selected planets / bodies in view inside the Ephemeris.

The Houses and Angles

The Ephemeris is broken up into the 12 houses of the zodiac. On the outside of each display line that is used to show the separation of the houses of the zodiac, the angle will be displayed. This angle calculation is started from 0 degrees Aries.

Located in the middle of each house is the symbol for that house. See the table below.

The Planets

The selected planets will be displayed inside the Ephemeris using either the Earth or the Sun as the centre point (depending on whether Geocentric, Sidereal or Heliocentric has been selected).

A Line joining the Ephemeris and the planet will be displayed to indicate whether the planet has a North or South declination to the Sun or Earth. The length of the line will also give an indication as to where a planet’s declination is in relation to other planetary bodies.

Each planetary body displayed in the Ephemeris will be labelled with the name of that body next to it.

Retrograde

Where a planetary body has an (R) next to it, this is an indication that the planetary body is in retrograde.

Ephemeris Text

Located at the top left of the Ephemeris is the Ephemeris Text. The Ephemeris Text will display:

  • Geocentric/Heliocentric/Sidereal.
  • Date & Time.
  • Selected Planetary bodies with their Longitude and Declination.

To hide the text on the Ephemeris, tick the Hide Text box in the Ephemeris Chart Properties.
