DECLINATIONS & THE ANTISCIA
Once you have learned the basic concepts of astrology and understand the planets, the houses, the rulerships and aspects, you are ready to learn about the refinements of astrology based on astronomy.

 


Declination Charts -- A New Way of Using Old Techniques
Recently I mentioned declinations to someone at an astrology conference and the person thought it would be a subject her group would be interested in since I "had something new".

Declination. The manner of indicating distance N. or S. 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.

Declination: The number of degrees a body is North or South of the Equator is its declination. Parallels are aspects in declination, and the effect is considered to be similar to a conjunction.
Detriment: (see below, Dignity:) ...

Declination: This is the distance either north or south of the celestial equator. This should not be confused with latitude. Planets with the same declination are also said to be in parallel aspect to each other.

Declination:
A planet's distance north or south of the equator.
Celestial Latitude: ...

Declination
The distance of a planet 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.

Declination A coordinate system measuring positions North or South of the celestial equator.

DECLINATION OF A PLANET - Declination of a Planet is his distance from the Equator, and as he declines from thence either Northward or Southward, so is his declination nominated either North or South.

declination The term that describes the distance in degrees a planet lies north or south of the celestial equator. The maximum declination of the Sun is reached at the Tropic of Cancer (north declination) and Tropic of Capricorn (south), 23°27'.

Declination: in the equatorial coordinate system, the angle that an object is above or below the Earth's equator projected on the celestial sphere. This coordinate corresponds to latitude on the Earth.

Declination
, Parallel of. This is the same phenomenon as a Parallel of Latitude, except that longitudinal position is measured along the Equator in terms of Right Ascension, while latitudinal position is computed in terms of declination, ...

declination
Celestial coordinate used to measure latitude above or below the celestial equator on the celestial sphere.

5. declinations of the planets (look for parallels, contraparallels and “out of bounds”)
6. solar houses [the Sun at the Ascendant with houses each 30° in size and each beginning with the degree of the Sun] ...

About Declinations
What we normally think of as ASTROLOGY is the calculation of the longitudinal positions and aspects of the planets (conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, oppositions, and all the minor aspects).

[edit] Declinations
The parallel and antiparallel (or contraparallel) are two other aspects, which refer to degrees of declination above or below the ecliptic.

Parallel of declination - This occurs when two planets are the same number of degrees of arc North or South of the Celestial Equator.

Progressed Moon in declination cycles
This is a catchy title, but the cycles referred to in this articles are not limited to presidents. They work on regular people as well, even better.

Parallel Aspect (Zodiacal) Planets having equal distance in declination on the same side of the equator. A similar effect to the conjunction.

DECLINATION: The distance of a planet north or south of the celestial equater
DEGREE: 1/360 of a circle.
DESCENDANT: The opposite point from the Ascendant: cusp of the 7th house. Describes one's interaction with another.

Declination
The distance in degrees from the Equator, north or south. The celestial equivalent of lattitude.
Equator
The circle around the middle of the Earth dividing the northern and southern hemispheres.

In addition to the former aspects which are measured in degrees in the ecliptic, there are also aspects measured in degrees of declination (i.e., north and south of the "celestial equator," the Earth's equator projected onto the celestial sphere).

March, the Sun's declination is zero and its Longitude is zero degrees Aries. As it continues its annual journey along the Ecliptic, its declination increases until on or about 21st.

The rule on many astrolabes was divided by declination. The declination of a celestial object could be found by placing the rule over the object and reading the declination directly. This function is particularly useful for the Sun.

Developmental aspects between Venus and Uranus (or declinations, parallels or contraparallels) reflect the need for the individuality to be awakened (Uranus) through reflection and relationship (Venus).

These points are employed as longitudinal degrees along the Ecliptic; not as bodies having latitude and declination.

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.

The conjunction occurs when two planets are in the same degree of the Zodiac, and the parallel is the position of two planets in the same degree of declination, regardless of whether they are both North or South of the Equator, ...

when they are within one degree of the same degree of declination, i.e., the position above or below the celestial equator described in degrees and minutes north or south of the equator.

The other axis permits north-south motion and is called the Declination Axis. By attaching a set of gears and a motor to the R.A. axis, we can follow the sky with ease.

Zodiacal aspects are based upon zodiacal longitude; parallels and counter parallels are based on declination, the position of points of interest relative to the celestial equator. Zodiacal aspects are also called harmonics.

290 fixed stars are listed separately giving details about each one and interpretation. 88 constellations are likewise listed. All of the stars are listed in various ways such as by sign, alphabetical, arranged by longitude, declination, ...

declination: the angle between a object on the celestial sphere and the celestial equator, measured north or south along the hour circle through the object. Symbol: or δ or dec.
