I'm new to posting on this site, so please bear with me if this topic has already been discussed.

My primary interests are parent/child relationships, couples relationships and karmic astrology.

I have some questions about how to do the calculations for an antiscon.

Traditionally (or so I've been told), you use the "sign combos" indicated below and then subtract the degrees in longitude of that light/planet from 30 degrees:

Gemini-Cancer
Leo-Taurus
Virgo-Aries
Libra-Pisces
Scorpio-Aquarius
Sagittarius-Capricorn

I just upgraded my software. It calculates a "declination-antiscia" chart. This obviously takes a lot less work when you're working on multiple charts, but the software calculations are off a few degrees from each manually calculated antiscon.

I used the Alcabitus house system for one of the charts I'm working on because the place of birth is 2 degrees north of where the Artic Circle begins.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's using an axis as a mirror. Contrascia uses the Aries-Libra axis, while antiscia uses the Cancer-Capricorn axis.

The antiscion of, say, Cap 2° would be Sag 28°. The contrascion of Cap 2° would be Gem 28° (opposite sign of Sag). It's easiest for beginners to look at a wheel and see it visually.

My best luck has been with manual calculations. I don't understand why software has such a difficult time trying to calculate such simple points.

Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly. I really appreciate it. After some thought, I decided to continue with manual calculations because, when I looked at one of the charts in great detail, the sign was not correct when calculated by the software.

So, the Contra Ascion is based on the standard sign oppositions? Do you know where I can find some information for the Contra Antiscon? I'm in the middle of doing what appears to be a quite karmic synastry interpretation.

I can see you're much more experienced than I am.

Thanks for you help.
