Local Space chart

Chart drawing for the so-called "Local Space chart" according to Steve Cozzi. With additional tables (PDF).

A Local Space chart shows the compass direction of the planets at the time and place of birth. Chart drawing and data tables show the ecliptic latitude as well as the horizontal coordinates of the planets, i.e. azimuth and height.

According to astronomical tradition, the azimuth is measured along the horizon from south to west. (The fact that in naval navigation the azimuth is measured from north to east often causes some confusion.)

The indicated height is the true height of the planets above or below the horizon, not the apparent height which also contains the atmospheric refractin of light.

It is also possible to add the transiting planets to the chart drawing. In this case, the horizontal coordinates of the planets are calculated in relation to the horizon at birth.
