DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to an apparatus which can easily practise fortune-telling in astrology. More specifically, the present invention relates to a construction of a novel apparatus which can easily determine the fortune which is stipulated on the basis of the difference of angle between the present moon direction and the sun direction on a birthday (which angle difference will be hereinafter referred to as "aspect").
BACKGROUND OF THE ART
Originally, astrology foretells the future or fortune from the positions of the sun, the moon and various planets in the solar system, and an astrological calendar is generally used for calculating angles representing their positions and directions in the heavenly bodies. However, no mechanism has yet been available which can easily determine the positions of various heavenly bodies at a necessary point of time without relying upon the astrological calendar. Incidentally, the term "astrological calendar" means a kind of table which describes the positions of various heavenly bodies relating to the year, month, day and time by numeric figures and which is very complicated to use. In astrology using the astrological calendar, the positions of the heavenly bodies are based upon the noon as the time reference. Therefore, if one wishes to know the present positions, he must make calculation to correct the time. Particularly the moon which rapidly moves in a heavenly sphere has not much been utilized in astrology because the correction is troublesome, although it is known that the moon exerts great influence upon everyday's fortunes.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
In order to eliminate the problem encountered when practising astrology, the present invention contemplates to provide a simple apparatus which transfers information on the directions of the moon and sun to a kind of rotary calculation disk and can easily foretell the future or fortunes without using the astrological calendar and without making any complicated calculation. The present apparatus can be used as an independent calculation disk and can also be accomplished as an additional function to a timepiece. The apparatus of the present invention has a construction in which a first display element simulating a position on a circumference as the direction of the sun on the ecliptic and a second display element describing the difference of the sun direction on a birthday with respect to the moon direction, that is, an aspect, or fortune information corresponding to the aspect are disposed coaxially with each other, at least one of them is rotated and position-set by the aid of moon direction setting means so that the relation of relative positions between the origin of the second display element and the present sun position on the first display element is substantially in agreement with the difference of directions of the present sun and moon in practice, and while this set condition is being kept, the aspect of the fortune can be stipulated from the description of the second display element corresponding to the sun position on the birthday on the first display element.
