ALCHEMY ASTROLOGY

Laboratory Count - Sidereal Astrology

Astrology charting for laboratory alchemists, and other Nature-based philosophies
by Timothy A. Wilkerson, author of the handbook, Alchemy Astrology, Lost Key To The Philosopher's Stone.

Months: 1 •  2  •  3  •  4  •  5  •  6 

Best dates to start the Work, a ritual / ceremony, or a celebration, are marked with an A in the left column.
key code

Calculations made for the eastern North America
For start times before 4:00 PM.
Latitude 40° N, Longitude 73° W
To adjust the start-time to your location, add (E of 73° W), or subtract (W of 73° W),
4 minutes time, per degree of Longitude, from your 4:00 PM time.

Even though this information has application for the eastern North America
you may want to purchase my handbook and learn how to do this for your specific location and/or time of day.
Go to LULU.COM.

To check the astrological conditions for past experiments or events (after April 2011) see the free-to-view
Archives links at the bottom of the page.

To adjust the start-time to your location, add (E of 73° W), or subtract (W of 73° W),
4 minutes time, per degree of Longitude, from your 4:00 PM time.
This info will be close for all other latitudes.
If the positive and negative count is nearly equal you may
want to recalculate for your specific latitude and longitute.

Positive / negative count aspects based on 7° orb, 5° orb for sextiles.
