Interpolation. The process of computing intermediate values in a series of numbers. In

astrology it is applied (1) to computing a planet's position for a given moment between two
known posi- tions, such as the noon or midnight position prior to and subsequent to the
desired moment, as taken from an Ephemeris for that year; and (2) to compute the house
cusps for an intermediate latitude between two sets of tables computed for latitudes on either
side of that for which the interpolation is required. In making the calculations necessary for
an interpolation, use is frequently made of Tables of Diurnal Proportional Logarithms. v.
Logarithms.
