What's inside

Inspect midpoint relationships

Read the contacts using the conventions of your chosen method, with the dial and related listings available for comparison.

Add positional context

Speculum listings provide positional information such as right ascension and declination. Coordinate selection matters when an example moves beyond ordinary zodiacal longitude.

Choose the coordinate approach your analysis requires, including zodiacal or in-mundo work, and use the positional listings to examine the result.
