The rotation axis of the Earth describes over a period of about 25,800 years a small circle (blue) among the stars, centred on the ecliptic northpole (blue E) and with an angular radius of about 23.4°: the angle known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. The orange axis was the Earth's rotation axis 5000 years ago when it pointed to the star Thuban.

The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...

Converse progression - one day before birth equals one year of life, (and so on backwards in time). Ascendant arc progression - planets are moved the same distance as the secondary progressed ascendant. Symbolic arc progression - planets are moved an arbitrary number of degrees a year e.g. 3 degrees for each year, 5 degrees and so on.
Kelly tells us that the rest of 2024’s astrology promises a lot of political chaos action. “Important stuff happens when planets are at either the 29 degree or the zero degree point—an ...
The Hindu zodiac uses the sidereal coordinate system, which makes reference to the fixed stars. The tropical zodiac (of Mesopotamian origin) is divided by the intersections of the ecliptic and equator, which shifts in relation to the backdrop of fixed stars at a rate of 1° every 72 years, creating the phenomenon known as precession of the ...
