Reinhold Ebertin, 1901-1988, came to Uranian astrology, and, according to the story, was denied permission to use the new Transneptunians in his work. So he reduced the Uranian system to the 90 degree dial, 45 degree graphic ephemeris and half sums (eg, midpoints). His use of these materials was brilliant. For those of you who don't know what these 45 or 90 degree things may be, the short answer is that they are methods of reducing all hard aspects to conjunctions on a wheel or graph. By means of this simplification, a powerful means of analysis was created. Here is what we think is a complete list of his available books:
