Astronomy for Astrologers
The Celestial/Equatorial Sphere
This diagram represents the Earth and/or the celestial
sphere. The zodiac or ecliptic is surrounding the Earth,
and the North Pole is tilted toward the solstice point.
Then:
- A late afternoon birth puts the birthplace to the right
of the Earth/Sun line and toward the twilight region of
the globe. - The birth geographic latitude is 40°.
- A line from the North Geographic Pole (or celestial
pole) through the birthplace and on to the South Pole
represents the RAMC (Right Ascension of the
Midheaven) for this birth. - The point where it cuts or intersects the zodiac is the
M.C. (25° Virgo).
