qrd on how to draw a chart physically, and how to use a paper ephemeris, and how to acurately calculate universal time. that is the trouble ive had for years. i dont care about all these star charts that can be written up by a computer in 3 seconds. the great magi of old could consult their ephemerides and have a chart written out in a few minutes. knowing to make them out by hand and intuition seems like the proper stepping off point to ACTUALLY coming to understand the celestial clock.
ive read old books and tried their formulas but they are all something different and maybe im just fucking stupid but i cant figure it out. even up till computers astrologers could put together a chart with books alone. plz halp
