and Venus and the Moon. All of which added together leaves the term in ill-repute, and
generally in disuse among modern astrologers. The term has a certain merit and might well be
restored, if confined to the congeniality of a planet in a House. In that way it can be said that
Dignity and Debility result from Sign placement, and Joy from House placement.

Julian Day. For calculating long intervals of time it was found desirable to eliminate the
months and years, and number the days consecutively. Hence one such numbered day is
identified by the prefix J.D., meaning Julian Day. (v. Day.)
This table of Julian Days is a convenience in computing the num- ber of elapsed days
between any two dates. Merely set down the J.D. for the two days and subtract: the difference
will be the number of elapsed days. For dates that are separated by only 2 or 3 years, it will be
necessary to use only the last three or four digits. These tables can be applied to any years, if
care is exercised to see that a table for a bissextile year is used for a bissextile year, and one
for a common year is used for a common year.
