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 select Robert Gordon's natal record.

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

The ephemeris settings for the Transiting Aspects study

Robert Gordon's natal record is selected by clicking on the Natal Data tab and then selecting Robert Gordon from the dropdown list. Natal dates and times are made available for editing to enable experimentation without having to create a new natal record. Modifying the natal date or time here will not have any effect on the corresponding natal record.

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 Transiting 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.
