Vernal Equinox, The Spring Equinox. v. Equinox; Celestial Sphere.
Vertical.
Vernal: From the Latin vernus, belonging to spring; of or pertaining to spring. See also equinox.
Vernal Point - Point on the ecliptic marking the position of the Sun at the moment of the Vernal Equinox, when the Sun is directly overhead at midday along the Tropic of Cancer.
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.
Vernal Point. Zero degrees Aries, the point that marks the Vernal Equinox.
Vertex. An imaginary angle of the horoscope that shows where you are subject to the control of others and where you are subject to the whims and wishes of others.
THE VERNAL EQUINOX (Spring)
When the Sun enters the astrological sign of Aries and the spring season officially begins, the days will catch up with the nights and the light will overcome the darkness.
Vernal Equinox: the point on the ecliptic at which the Sun is in the plane of the Earth's equator and day and night are of equal length all over the Earth. The vernal equinox defines 0° of the sign Aries, or the beginning of the astrological cycle.
The Vernal Equinox is the time when the Sun reaches the balancing point in its path through the tropical zodiac, when the length of the day is equal to the length of the night.
The vernal equinox is the point of reference from which both astronomers and astrologers begin their measurement of the ecliptic, and it marks the beginning of the division of the zodiac into twelve equal segments.

The Spring or Vernal Equinox begins when the sun enters Aries, the beginning of the astrological New Year. In the year 2004 the sun enters Aries on the 20 March at 06h 49 m GMT.
Position of vernal equinox in 1500 BC. Note that the vernal equinox lies roughly between the constellations of Taurus, Aries and Cetus.
References to the vernal point in the 15th degree of Aries are preserved in the writings of Achilles and Eudoxus.
(In this case, the illustration shows the sun's position at the moment of the vernal equinox in the year 2001.) The celestial sphere is an imaginary construct, which represents the way the sun, moon, planets, stars etc. appear to us here on earth.
If there were no precession of the equinox the Sun would always enter the constellation Aries at the vernal equinox, but on account of this backward motion of one degree in about seventy-two years, ...

To preserve the coincidence of the vernal equinox in approximately correct relation to the Civil year, Caesar, with the assistance of Sosigines, introduced the Julian calendar about 46 B.C. It called for the intercalation of a day on certain years.
The first Quadrant is described from the East to the Midheaven, or from the line of the first house to the line of the tenth house, and contains the twelfth, eleventh and tenth houses, it's called the Oriental, Vernal, Masculine, Sanguine, ...
These are the twin stars, Castor & Pollux, that marked the Vernal Equinox approximately 6,000 BC; in the archaic lunar calendar, a new crescent Moon - "Neomenia" - marked the beginning of each month.
1974 brought the progressed Moon to the vernal point (0 degrees Aries) and several harmonious angles. Ali avenged his loss to Frazier and defeated George Foreman for his second throning as champion.
In spring this moment, around March 21st, is called the vernal equinox,'. It defines 0° of the sign Aries and marks the beginning of the astrological year and the annual cycle of light and dark.
vernal equinox: the point where the Sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north each year. Also known as the First Point of Aries.
Recall that the projection arcs are identical whether the projection origin is at the vernal equinox or the autumnal equinox. Therefore, the half of the ecliptic we are considering depends on the origin.
In the Astrology practiced here we use the Tropical Zodiac, which is the fundamental building block of Western-style Astrology and begins each year at the Vernal Equinox with zero degrees of Aries.
who use the Tropical system, are not concerned with those constellations arbitrarily named by ancient men; but only with the 30-degree sectors of the sky defined as starting at the point on the horizon at sunrise on the day of the annual Vernal ...
The equatorial bulge of the earth causes a shifting in the earth's axis and the point at which the Sun at the vernal equinox points to the zodiacal constellations.
At both Vernal and Spring Equinox, the SUN is at 0 Declination, at Winter Solstice, the Sun is at 23 degrees 26 minutes North, or conjunct the Tropic of Cancer.
The beginning of the zodiacal circle under Sidereal system is always the fixed 00 of Aries; the Tropical System assumes the point of intersection of the celestial equator and the ecliptic at Vernal Equinox when the Sun begins its journey in the ...
In earlier ages the vernal equinox was located within the realm of the bull, roughly during 4,000-1,700 B.C. In ancient cultures, the year began with Taurus.
The Tropical Zodiac measures 12 portions of 30 degrees each beginning from the Vernal (Spring) Equinox. The Vernal Equinox is the point where the Sun crosses the equator on its way North. This is the first day of Spring and is 0 degrees Aries.
The sign of Aries begins at the Sun's position at the Vernal Equinox (in April). Cancer begins at the Sun's position at the Solstice (June: summer for northern hemisphere, winter for southern hemisphere).
The Sun crosses the equator twice each year, once at the vernal equinox when it enters 0° Aries and again at the autumnal equinox when it enters 0° Libra. The days and nights are of equal duration all over the world on equinoctial dates.
(Astrologers in non-Western traditions use different systems.) The tropical, or solar, year is measured relative to the sun and is the time between successive vernal equinoxes (365 days, 5 hr, 48 min, 46 sec of mean solar time).
We only use the mathematics based on the Vernal Point of (approximately) 5° Pisces 26' as fiducial instead of zero degrees of Aries. One of the fiduciary points is based on the Fagan/Bradley position for the Sidereal Vernal Point.
That's meaningful, because sidereal astrology is a system that sets the ecliptic by the position of the fixed stars, rather than the Vernal Equinox. The actual Zodiac begins earlier each year, which means Aries comes in April.
These fall at the Cardinal Points of the Zodiac, with Aries beginning at the "Vernal Equinox" or first point of Spring, or the beginning of the Zodiac. These signs are generally associated with action and beginnings.
It represents the time necessary for the vernal equinox to retrograde through the 30 degrees of any one of the constellations. Astrologers generally believe that the earth is now moving from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius.

It represents the time required for the vernal equinox to retrograde through the thirty-degree arc of one constellation. According to many astrologers, the Earth is now moving from the Piscean Age into the Aquarian Age.
Aries, the first sign, starts on the first day of Spring (vernal equinox). Most Asian astrologers (and a small minority of westerners) use the Sidereal Zodiac based on the constellations.
The distance between the Hindu first point and the vernal equinox measured at an epoch is known as the "AYANAAMSA".
By this, I mean it represents a point in time when the night is suddenly overshadowed by day (vernal equinox).
It is based primarily on the birthday of the predictee and the sun's and planets' positions in the ancient zodiac located along the ecliptic in equal, 30 degree sections (for a total of twelve signs) beginning at the Vernal Equinox on or around ...
Most astrologers know that the Sun's position in a Zodiac sign doesn't actually mean the Sun is physically located "there" in the sector of those constellational stars. It is based on the moving Vernal Equinox and so the signs of the zodiac ...
