Study Parameters

Robert Gordon is the central character in W.D. Gann's novel 'The Tunnel Thru The Air or Looking Back From 1940.' We're going to create a list of aspects that transiting planets form with the planets in Robert Gordon's birth chart. To proceed we need to define the ephemeris that we want to use and enter Robert Gordon's birth location, date and time.

We are using a tropical geocentric ecliptic ephemeris that begins the day after Robert Gordon's birthday.

Next we'll select Mercury through to Neptune in the list of transiting bodies and the Moon through to Neptune in the list of natal bodies.

The last thing we need to set up is the list of aspects we're interested in. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the 'Aspects' tab.
  2. Either manually type in the aspects you want to include or use the preset menu to apply aspects that you've previously saved as a preset.

This will finalize the settings and allow you to proceed with the study.
