ZET - Astrology Software - C*C*G

Cyclo*Carto*Graphy

C*C*G is not available in the Lite or Pro versions of ZET.

Cyclo*Carto*Graphy, essentially, is the examination of progressed and transiting planets in the context of an astrocartographic map, and is an important extension of the theory.

There are 40 C*C*G lines, resulting from consideration of:
Progressed Sun
Progressed Moon
Progressed Mercury
Progressed Venus
Progressed Mars
Transiting Jupiter
Transiting Saturn
Transiting Uranus
Transiting Neptune
Transiting Pluto

These progressed and transiting lines are calculated in right ascension, and then inserted on the world map (similar to A*C*G lines), and related to the natal chart.

When the C*C*G lines are placed on top of the A*C*G lines, the result will be 80 lines on the map. Obviously, the A*C*G and C*C*G lines should be of different colour, e.g. black A*C*G lines and red C*C*G lines.

There are many different techniques for finding the temporal influences taking place with Cyclo*Carto*Graphy ...
