Calculating Ascendant using Munkasey's formula

[torosg]

Hi

I try to calculate Placidian House cups, but I have some problems with
procedure published by Munkasey.

I believe that I should check and correct intermediate results in some
steps (from 2 - 8)

Example: result R11 from arctan is between –PI/2 and +PI/2 (step 7).
In next cycle (step 5) we calculate arcsin(tan()*tan(R11)). Result
from tan() can be between -99999999999 to [phone], but arcsin()
can only have values between -1 and 1.

Is there anyone who could give some advice how to correctly do math
calculation for house cups?

Best regards

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I think Munkasey needs to add
a chapter explaining the things he presumely finds obvious. The only
way I could find the answer to my issue was looking for a chart
calculation program made in javascript on the internet so that I could
look at the code and see what I was missing. Luckily I found one and
it worked.

Maybe you could try the same?
