Abstract

The construction being of two 10" diameter circles of plastic approx. 1/32" thick, fastened to the center with a grommet in such a way as to permit the upper disc of clear vinyl to rotate over the lower disc of colored polystyrene. Construction further consist of two sets of ten each high tack vinyl tabs to be placed on and to adhere to the upper disc and can be used over and over.

Claims

1. A computer for the calculation of detailed horoscopic relationships, the assembly of which forms an "equal house" astrological chart and comprises:

a base disc delineated with concentric circular portions, 1, 2, 3 and 6, one of said circular portion, 1, having twelve equally-spaced radial lines, 4, with at least one of said equally-spaced radial lines, 15, being designated a major axis of the compass and selected from the group consisting of South, North, East and West, one of said circular portion, 3, having twelve equally-spaced radial lines, 4, in inlined relationship to said equally-spaced radial line of said 1st mentioned circular portion and defining areas therebetween, said areas being succeedingly designated in counter clock-wise order with numbers, as indicated by 5, 1 through 12 with the number 12 and 1 being positioned on either side of said radial line corresponding to the radial line, 15, designated as East;

an overlay disc rotatably positionable on said base disc and having a circular portion corresponding substantially to said base disc, said corresponding circular portion of said overlay disc having twelve equally-spaced radial lines, 9, defining therebetween areas designated in the accorded order of the zodiac and including 30 equally-spaced degree marks, 12, 11, and 9, with each 5 and 10 value degree being of greater length than the other said degree marks; and

at least one set of symbols, 16, representing planets and luminaries.

2. The astrological computer assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said base disc is formed of an opaque material.

3. The astrological computer assembly as defined in claim 2 wherein said overlay disc is formed of a transparent plastic material.

4. The astrological computer assembly as defined in claim 3 wherein said base disc and said overlay disc are of like diameter and are fastened together by a grommet through the center of both said base disc and said overlay disc.

5. The astrological computer assembly as defined in claim 4 wherein there is provided two sets of symbols, 16, for positioning with respect to said degree marks, 12, 11, and 9, on said overlay disc and thereby designating the exact degree (or estimate of 1/2 degree) position of said symbols in a sign, 13;

decan;

(space between degree marks designated by 9 and

     10);

or house, 5;

one of said sets being positioned within said circular protion and the other set being positioned out of said circular portion thereby the erecting of each set is representative of one person or a chosen data for horoscopic evaluation such as the measurement of planetary aspects within a natal chart and the measurement of aspects formed by comparing two natal charts, or by comparing a natal chart to the position of the planets at a future data.

6. The astrological computer assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said set of symbols are pressure sensitive.
