I discovered Magi astrology about a week ago am fascinated and have some questions. Hope you all can help.
1) While determining the heliocentric latitudes (am using tables from astro.com), do I read parallel and contra-parallel numbers from the Latitude column or from the Declination column?
2) For the Geo declinations, I’m assuming the numbers are read off from the Declination column, right?
3) How exactly is the orb between 2 planets calculated? For example, between Venus at 14° 4'57" N and Mars at 13°37'16" N, is the orb 0.27 or is it 0.67 (obtained by subtracting the 2 numbers)? Also, do the seconds have to be included in this calculation, and if so, how? I ask because Magi allow an orb of 0.3 or less for helio charts.
4) Does Vesta not show in the Helio charts (at least it didn’t in the astro.com site)?
5) Specifically, which asteroids does magi use for relationship synastry?
6) Re: Mystical Triangles—I have My Chiron trine His Neptune quincunx My Sun square My Chiron. However, My Venus is conjunct My Sun though at a wide orb of 4-5 degrees, therefore cannot replace My Sun in this Mystical triangle. But can it still have some sort of an enhancement effect on the triangle, enough to make it a Romantic Mystical Triangle?
Thanks for answering and hope you don’t mind if I have more questions as I continue to learn. Happy New Year to everybody!

Thanks, Randall. I really like LL and the idea behind why it was started. Linda Goodman's writings are of course all time classics. At the moment I'm enjoying reading other threads since there's such an outpouring of astrological info. combined with personal opinions.

As far as my own questions, would you have any advice on whether or not I should move my questions to a different place so as to get some feedback? Thanks.
