SECONDSTATION
When, from the perspective of Earth, a planet that has been moving retrograde (i.e.,
appeared to go backward in its orbit) pauses and resumes forward motion, the point at
which it pauses is called the second station.
SEDGWICK, PHILIP
Philip Sedgwick, born November 8, 1950, 2:36 P.M. E.S.T., began his study of astrology
in 1969 while serving in the U.S. Navy. Since that time astrology has become a main
focus of his life. He has been consulting professionally since 1975, and established his
career as a full-time astrologer in 1981.
Sedgwick wrote a weekly column for the Science Fiction Channel online enti-
tled “Space Scopes” from May 1998 to October 2001. He has also contributed regular-
ly to http://www.StarIq.com as a writer of articles and e-mail transit reports. He now works
on a continuing series of articles on the centaurs for Mountain Astrologerand compre-
hensive reports for Cosmic Patterns Software.
A researcher by nature, Sedgwick investigated the astrological signatures of
aviation disasters, intensively explored the effects of galactic phenomena on astrology,
and is an astrological authority on Comet Halley. Currently, he is working on research
relating to planetary cycles affecting commercial aviation and aerospace. He monitors
and researches radiation disturbances from not only the Sun, but the newly encoun-
tered Soft Gamma Ray repeaters. His latest research passion involves the investiga-
tion of the unusual centaur and trans-Neptunian objects found invading our solar sys-
tem from the depths of space.
He authored three books now in print: The Astrology of Transcendence, The
Astrology of Deep Space,and The Sun at the Center—A Primer of Heliocentric Astrology.
He was a contributing writer for Llewellyn’s Sun Sign Guidein 1986, 1988 and 1989,
and Spiritual, Metaphysical & New Trends in Modern Astrology.His Galactic Ephemeris
of over 8,700 deep-space objects leads astrologers on discoveries of potent sources pro-
foundly affecting our natal horoscopes. Sedgwick additionally produced a galactic
software add-on for the popular Solar Fire program, entitled Galastro. He compiled
and published ephemerides for the Centaur objects. He also complied an ephemeris
for newly named Kuiper Belt Object, Varuna, the noteworthy KBO 13790 (of great
interest as the possible Trans-Pluto), 15874 and 2001KX76. He maintains two taped
correspondence courses: one on galactic astrology, the other on the centaurs and
Kuiper belt objects.
SEESAWPATTERN
In astrology, a seesaw pattern is a horoscope arrangement in which all of the planets
fall into one of two identifiable clusters that face each other across opposite ends of
the chart.
