Ingress Charts
Mundane Astrology - Article written by Inge Lohse
The word mundane means
worldly, 
and
in astrology, refers to the houses of the chart because they rule worldly affairs - man made
conditions on the face of the earth. An Ingress
chart is set for the entry of the Sun into the four cardinal signs:
Aries
Cancer
Libra
Capricorn 
The Sun is always at zero degrees. An Ingress chart can be set for any location. Setting the Ingress Chart for the capital city of a country, indicates conditions for the entire country, as that country is being governed from that particular location.
