  • names, characters, orbs, latitudes, natures, signs, etc.
• adding and subtracting astronomical fractions
• the 12 divisions of the heavens
• astrological axioms and rational experiences
• using astrology to answer fortune telling and prophecy
  • on marriage, on being bewitched, etc
• Trigonometry – direction and doctrine
• Johannes Kepler’s “Rudolphine Tables”
  • Star catalogues, planetary tables, used to identify the position of the planets and other heavenly bodies in the solar system. Taken from Tycho Brahe.
