ABSTRACT

The Hindus use the lunar stations exactly in the same way as the zodiacal signs. As the ecliptic is, by the zodiacal signs, divided into twelve equal parts, so, by the lunar stations, it is divided into twenty-seven equal parts. Each station occupies 13 https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> 1 3 https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315012049/b0d630af-2efb-4faf-b5e1-6c8a8bedec5b/content/inline-math_75_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> degrees, or 800 minutes of the ecliptic. The planets enter into them and leave them again, and wander to and fro through their northern and southern latitudes. The astrologers attribute to each station a special nature, the quality of foreboding events, and other particular characteristic traits, in the same way as they attribute them to the zodiacal signs.
