Celestial Equator: The projection of the plane of the geographical equator upon the celestial sphere.
Celestial Body: A physical form which exists in space; such as a planet.
Word of the Day: ...
Celestial Equator: The extension of Earth's equator into space, perpendicular to Earth's axis.
Celestial equator - The projection of the Earth's equator onto the Celestial Sphere in the same plane as the Earth's equator.
Celestial equator: The earth's equator projected into space.
Chart: A horoscope drawn up for a individual's birth date or for an event date.
Combust: A planet is said to be combust when it is in close conjunction with the sun.
The celestial equator is a great circle of the celestial sphere marked out by indefinite extension of the plane of terrestrial equator.
The celestial equator is the plane of the earth's equator extended into space. The zodiac belt begins at 0 degrees Aries which is the point where the Sun's path intersects with the celestial equator at the March Equinox each year.
The celestial equator is divided into twelve, and these divisions are projected on to the ecliptic along great circles that take in the north and south points on the horizon.
The celestial equator has also been defined as "the continuation of the plane of the terrestrial equator without limit into celestial spaces."
Equinox.
Celestial Equator The projection onto the Celestial Sphere of the Earth's equator in the same plane as the Earth's equator, in other words, the projection of the Earth's equator onto the sky.
DECLINATION: The distance of a planet north or south of the celestial equator
DEGREE: 1/360 of a circle.
DESCENDANT: The opposite point from the Ascendant: cusp of the 7th house. Describes one's interaction with another.
celestial equator: 1. the great circle on the celestial sphere midway between the north and south celestial poles. 2. the great circle on the celestial sphere determined by extending the Earth's equator to the celestial sphere.
Distance north or south of the celestial equator is measured in what's called declination (degrees, minutes and seconds), while distance along the equator is measured in what's called right ascension (degrees, minutes and seconds, ...
Parallel : An aspect formed when two planets are in the same declination, that is, when they are the same distance north or south of the celestial equator. Generally considered to operate much like the conjunction.
When this line is extended into space, it is called the celestial equator.
EQUINOX: A time of equal day and equal night occuring twice a year at the beginning of Spring and Autumn.
FEMININE SIGNS: The Earth and Water signs.
north and south of the "celestial equator," the Earth's equator projected onto the celestial sphere).
Equinoxes represent the two points of intersection of the Ecliptic and the Celestial Equator. Sun transits over them when day and night are equal. These points slowly move backward. This is known as precision of equinoxes.
Declination : A measure of how far north or south of the celestial equator a planet or other body is. Descendent : The intersection of the ecliptic and the western horizon.
Parallel: the aspect between two planets that are the same angular distance north or south of the celestial equator ( the Earth's equator projected onto the celestial sphere) and are on the same side of it; orb 1°.
That Aries/Libra line in our natural chart wheel represents the celestial equator. We measure declination in degrees above and below this line that cuts through the earth's equator and extends out into space.
Every year on the 21st of March the Sun leaves the Southern Hemisphere, crosses the celestial equator, and enters the Northern degrees of latitude where he remains during the summer.
the projection plane is the local horizon rather than the celestial equator). This quadrant was originally published by Richard Delamaine (Delamain) in 1631.
of the Celestial Equator. The maximum possible declination of the Sun is 23° 28' which occurs at the Solstices, when the Sun passes the Tropics (0°) of Cancer and Capricorn, ...
The six lines of one method then converge again, with their six counterparts in the other, at the Celestial Equator, where the lines of either method are separated by intervals of exactly 30 degrees.
Vernal Equinox: The intersection of the celestial equator with the ecliptic plane each solar year at 0º Aries. The Sun crosses the celestial equator moving from north to south.
Equinox
Either of the two points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator intersects the ecliptic; also, either of the two times each year when the sun crosses the equator and day and night are of approximately equal length on Earth.
By contrast to Western and Indian astrology, the twelve sign of the zodiac do not divide the sky, but rather the celestial equator.
For example, if one has a Sun positioned at 12 degrees of Taurus, that means that one's Sun is 42 degrees north of the celestial equator.
Declination: The arc of measurement in degrees north or south of the celestial equator.
Degree: A degree is 1/360 of a circle. In Astrology, degrees are the commonly-used unit of measurement.
Equinox, Equinoxes. One of either of two times during the year when the sun crosses the celestial equator and the length of the day and night are approximately equal. The term means "equal night." See also "Vernal Equinox" and Autumn Equinox.
having same distance in declination, north or south of the celestial equator
Peregrine (H)
a planet without any essential dignity, and very weak ...
Contraparallel: The angular relationship between two planets that occupy the same degree (within 1° orb) and opposite direction of declination, one north of the celestial equator and the other south.
Declination A coordinate system measuring positions North or South of the celestial equator. ...
He established as his starting point the location of one of two places where the Sun crossed the "celestial equator," an extension of Earth's equator out into the sky.
It allows astrologers and other sky watchers to have a fixed reference point for study. The earliest astrologers tracked the Sun against the Zodiac, and created a starting point where the celestial equator meets the ecliptic.
Rather, another sensitive point called the Equatorial Ascendant or East Point is the first house cusp. This system is popular with Uranian astrologers; it is based on even divisions of the celestial equator projected onto the ecliptic.
This shifting of the earth's axis causes the celestial equator to shift so that the point of intersection between it and the ecliptic - the vernal equinox - moves from east to west along the circle of the ecliptic, i.e.
BCE) realized the implications of this phenomenon, discerning the process known as the precession of the equinoxes, whereby the Vernal Equinox - the point at which the Sun on its apparent course defining the ecliptic, crosses the celestial equator ...
