Longitude is also necessary for determining the position of the ascendant. This is because charts use Local Time. Time zones were developed in the 19th century as a by-product of the development of railways. This permitted train schedules to be written based on the certainty that any two cities in a time zone had the same time. In reality there is an hour of difference between points at the beginning and end of a 15? average time zone. For political reasons the time zones cannot be identical bands. It would not be appropriate for a time zone boundary to cut through the middle of a city. Time zone boundaries were also the subject of political manipulation in the Pacific islands when they sought to be the first places on earth to see the new millennium. Adjustments are therefore made for the difference in one's actual longitude and the longitude of the nominal meridian associated with clock time.

The sun sign is the sign of the zodiac in which the sun is located for the native. This is the single astrological fact that is familiar to almost everyone. As a very rough rule of thumb, if an event takes place at 6:00 a.m. its ascendant and sun sign will be the same; other rising signs can then be estimated at two hour intervals from there.

To complete the horoscope the astrologer will consider the aspects or relative angles between pairs of planets. Certain aspects carry greater importance. Those generally recognized by the astrological community are conjunction (0?), opposition (180?), square (90?), trine (120?) and sextile (60?). Other aspects of less importance are recognized by some. Understandably these aspects are more significant when they are exact, but they are considered to function within an orb of influence. The size of that orb will vary according to the importance of the particular aspect. Thus conjunctions are believed to operate over a larger orb than sextiles. Usually modern astrologers use an orb of 10? or less.
