Following the book’s method — “pull three datasets from the catalog” (body, aspect, body) and combine them with sign and house — record each contact as:
| a (body 1) | 1 (sign of a) | house of a | aspect (operator) | b (body 2) | 2 (sign of b) | house of b | orb | applying/separating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … |
Then read: (a + 1)^house(a) × (b + 2)^house(b) = interpretation — i.e., body-in-sign, coloured by house, joined by the aspect’s quality. In Natal work the bodies come from the one natal chart.
Construction reminder: the natal chart is cast for the exact birth moment and place (UT, RAMC, latitude).
