We must now proceed to place the signs for 3 p.m. on the 9th January, 1889, which is thus done: We turn to the "Table of Houses" (which will be found at the end of the Ephemeris), and having found (under the column headed "Sidereal Time") the nearest time to 22 hours 16 minutes 51 seconds, which in this case is 22 hours 16 minutes 48 seconds for the latitude of London, we see in the next column (headed 10) the sign (Pisces), and the number 3° opposite our Sidereal Time, showing that the third degree of Pisces is on the cusp of the 10th house, In the next column (headed 11) we see [Aries], and the number 7°; we therefore place 7° [Aries] on the cusp of the 11th house, next 24° [Taurus] on the 12th; then 7° 5' [Cancer] on the Ascendant (or first house), 23° [Cancer] on the 2nd and 10° [Leo] on the 3rd; for the remaining houses we place the signs _in order_ opposite to those already given, keeping the same number of degrees to each corresponding house and sign. The opposite house to the 10th is the 4th, and the opposite sign to [Pisces] is [Virgo]; we therefore place 3° [Virgo] on the cusp of the 4th house, and so on of the rest. It will, however, now be seen that the two signs [Gemini] and [Sagittarius] are missing; these signs are "intercepted," which means that they lie between two houses without occupying the cusp of either; they must, therefore, be placed in their order _between_ the cusps of the houses. This is, of course, not always the case, and some horoscopes will have no intercepted signs. HOW TO PLACE THE PLANETS.
