Astronomy for Astrologers
- These points and these two coordinate systems are
FIXED in space. - AT ANY MOMENT and AT ANY PLACE in the Earth's
orbit, the ZERO° Aries point is ALWAYS in the same
direction—and at an infinite distance. - The measurement of longitude along the ecliptic or
the equator is only identical at the four Cardinal points,
which is, at the two equinoctial and the two solstitial
points. - At any of the other points, there is a difference
between a degree of longitude as measured along the
ecliptic and the same degree as measured along the
equator. - Each system is simply tilted at an angle, one to the
other.
