ABSTRACT:
A timepiece and combined astrological display assembly including a casing which may be sized to resemble a wristwatch and a display assembly mounted on the casing and viewable through a display face. The display assembly is responsive to a processor sized to fit within the casing which includes or communicates with a plurality of databases, each of which is structured and disposed to store and depict different categories of information including, the current time of day at a given geographical location, as well as an ephemeris or other calendar and table which tracks the movement of various planets and celestial bodies, and the angular orientation between two planetary bodies for the determination of "Aspects" and/or a plurality of "Aspect" lines, each of which interconnects a selected pair of planetary bodies and provides forecasting astrological information. The processor includes memory capabilities structured for the storage of a single or multi year ephemeris, latitude and longitude indications for a plurality of predetermined geographic sites, and a conversion facility for converting Greenwich Mean Time to current local time dependent upon the plurality of predetermined geographic sites. A control assembly is also provided for inputting into the processor certain information relevant to the operability of the display assembly.
