Rob here returning after a period away.
Thanks Nick for the Star Catalogue. It is a wonderful compendium of knowledge and I have been applying it to my own natal circumstance with great inspiration emerging!
My question is that I would like to find the East Point and The Vertex, but am unsure how to find those details on astrological data or charts - can you please assist? also, I am uncertain about the North and South Node points.
Kind regards, Robin

Hi Rob:

You can download freeware ASTROWIN from http://www.astrowin.org/astrowin.php and you can get East Point; vertex and the Nodes for any chart.

Best Regards

Javed

Hi Rob,

You can also go here
http://lunarplanner.com/ArgoNavisPublications/StarChartPersonal/STInstruction.html
to get a better understanding of how the East Point (EQ ASC) and Vertex are derived.

Most astro programs will give you the Lunar Nodes, Vertex and Equatorial Ascendant (EP).

You can also get free sidereal charts on astro.com with asteroids and dwarf planets of your choice.
They only offer the Fagan/Bradley Ayanamsa, so after you print your chart, be sure to adjust the chart longitudes to the Galactic Ayanamsa, which the Star Catalog uses; e.g. subtract 0°14' from the Fagan/Bradley longitudes to get Galactic Ayanamsa longitudes.
Also select the "True Nodes" option.

Go here - http://www.astro.com/horoscopes
Then Click on the "Extended Chart Selection" link under the "Horoscope Chart Drawings" section.

Below are the numbers for the basic dwarf planets and Centaurs:
You can get others on their site if you wish.

Haumea 136108
Makemake 136472

Eris 136199
Orcus 90482
Varuna 20000

Ixion 28978
Sedna 90377

Pholus 5145
