SUBTRIPLE
, is when one quantity is the 3d part of another; as 2 is Subtriple of 6. And Subtriple Ratio, is the ratio of 1 to 3.
SUBTRIPLICATE Ratio, is the ratio of the cube roots. So the Subtriplicate ratio of a to b, is the ratio of √3a to √3b, or of a1/3 to b1/3.
SUCCESSION of Signs, in Astronomy, is the order in which they are reckoned, or follow one another, and according to which the sun enters them; called also consequentia. As Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, &c.
When a planet goes according to the order and succession of the signs, or in consequentia, it is said to be direct; but retrograde when contrary to the succession of the signs, or in antecedentia, as from Gemini to Taurus, then to Aries, &c.
