<<It might be possible to devise a means of creating unique houses for a given birthday based on Shargash's position in the sky or putative position in the Underworld. It wouldn't vary by latitude, as it does on our world (although in some ways that might help) but it may at least introduce a further level of complexity, which I think is to be desired. I'll get back to you when I've tried to do the sums...>>
I have now figured out at least one way of doing this based on the Campanus Method, and I can probably think of a few alternatives reflecting different, doubtless antagonistic, Schools of Buserian Knowledge*. I am confident I can use this to create a means of casting Gloranthan birth horoscopes, which, while simpler than the RW version should still produce quite enough complexity for game purposes. Obviously, putting in all the meanings would take a long time, and I have as little inclination to devise the entire scheme as anyone else would have to read it, but I could write up the basics with a bit more thought and help from fellow Digesters.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
