  • Constellations with Prominent Stars That Can Be Found Near the Meridian at 10 Pm on January 15
    ONSTELLATIONS C Altitude Ruler The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the stars to rise and set each evening. In addition, the orbit of the Earth around the Sun places different regions of the sky in our Horizon night-time view. The PLANISPHERE is an extremely useful tool for finding stars and 10 constellation in the sky, depicting not only what is currently in the sky but it also allows the 20 prediction of the rising and setting times of various celestial objects. 30 THE LAYOUT OF THE PLANISPHERE 40 50 The outer circumference of the dark blue circular disk (which is called the star wheel) you’ll notice that the wheel is divided into the 12 months, and that each month is divided into 60 individual dates. The star wheel rotates about the brass fastener, which represents the 70 North Celestial Pole. The frame of the planisphere has times along the outer edge. 80 Holding the planisphere on the southern corner you'll see "midnight" at the top. Moving Zenith counterclockwise, notice how the hours progress, through 1 AM, 2 AM, and so on through "noon" at the bottom. The hours then proceed through the afternoon and evening (1 PM, 2 PM, etc.) back toward midnight. Once you have the wheel set properly for the correct time and day, the displayed part represents what you see if you stand with the star and planet locator held directly over your head with the brass fastener toward the north. (Notice that the compass directions are also written on the corners of the frame.) Of course, you don't have to actually stand that way to make use of the Star and Planet Locator--this is just a description to help you understand what is displayed.

  • THE PRELUDE to the ANTICHRIST the Purposes of This Illustration Is to Show What the Time Span of the Central Blood Moons from 2011 to 2018
    THE PRELUDE TO THE ANTICHRIST The purposes of this illustration is to show what the time span of the Central Blood Moons from 2011 to 2018. These 2 total lunar eclipses are like a ‘bookend’ of a specific time. This time is approximately a 7 year span. What is unique about a Central Blood Moon is that the Moon passes the center of the shadow of the Earth. Another name for these lunar eclipses is called the Bull’s Eye. Other perspectives about these 2 peculiar that will be depicted on the chart is that the constellations will reversed to show the start of the June 15, 2011 Central Blood Moon first in the sign of Ophiuchus. The other Central Blood Moon will occur in July 17, 2018 in the sign of Capricorn. The June 2011 Central Blood Moon that occurs in Ophiuchus is right on the Ecliptic. The Blood Moon of July 2018 occurs approximately 9 degrees below the Ecliptic in Capricorn. What is unique about this timespan and juxtaposition of the 2 Blood Moons is that they are in phi ratio relationship to the sign of Sagittarius. In specific, the star in this sign is Kaus Sagittarius. As to its possible prophetic significance remains to be seen. One possible depiction is that the time from the Bull’s Eye bookend could be the sign of the rise of the AntiChrist. This is stipulated on the imagery of the duality not only of Sagittarius itself but the dichotomy of the notion of the Christs to come. The image of the AntiChrist according to the Bible is that he will be a man coming in the name of peace on a metaphorical white horse.

  • The Beginners Guide to Astrology AQUARIUS JAN
    WHAT’S YOUR SIGN? the beginners guide to astrology AQUARIUS JAN. 20th - FEB. 18th THE WATER BEARER ften simple and unassuming, the Aquarian goes about accomplishing goals in a quiet, often unorthodox ways. Although their methods may be unorth- Oodox, the results for achievement are surprisingly effective. Aquarian’s will take up any cause, and are humanitarians of the zodiac. They are honest, loyal and highly intelligent. They are also easy going and make natural friendships. If not kept in check, the Aquarian can be prone to sloth and laziness. However, they know this about themselves, and try their best to motivate themselves to action. They are also prone to philosophical thoughts, and are often quite artistic and poetic.

They keep an Aextremely low profile compared to others in the zodiac. They are honest, unselfish, trustworthy and often have quiet dispositions. They can be over- cautious and sometimes gullible. These qualities can cause the Pisces to be taken advantage of, which is unfortunate as this sign is beautifully gentle, and generous. In the end, however, the Pisces is often the victor of ill cir- cumstance because of his/her intense determination. They become passionately devoted to a cause - particularly if they are championing for friends or family.

  • Coordinate Systems
    AST 113/114 – Fall 2014 / Spring 2015 Coordinate Systems NAME:_______________________ COORDINATE SYSTEMS What will you learn in this Lab? This lab is designed to introduce you to some of the coordinate systems used by astronomers. The coordinate systems to be introduced are Longitude and Latitude, Horizon Coordinate System, Equatorial Coordinate System and the Ecliptic Coordinate System. What do I need to bring to the Class with me to do this Lab? For this lab you will need: A copy of this lab script A pencil SC 001/002 star charts Audubon Guide Star Wheel Red Flashlight I. Introduction: This lab is introduces some of the coordinate systems used by astronomers. First, we will review the coordinate system used here on the Earth, using longitude and latitude. Then, we will investigate two of the coordinate systems applied to astronomical maps. The coordinate systems to be introduced are: (1) the Horizon Coordinate System, measuring the sky in altitude and azimuth from the location of the observer; and (2) the Equatorial Coordinate System, measuring the right ascension and declination coordinates fixed to the stars. II. Maps of the Earth: As a starting point for finding your way in the night sky, we first review maps of the Earth and how they were established. A coordinate reference frame is essential so that the location of remote places can be identified, such as islands at sea, cities, towns, mountain tops, etc. On the Earth the coordinate system employs latitude and longitude. © 2015 Arizona State University Page 1 of 17 AST 113/114 – Fall 2014 / Spring 2015 Coordinate Systems Latitude: Latitude is measured in degrees, arcminutes and arcseconds, north or south of the Earth’s Equator.

    The Transmission of Ptolemy’s Terms: An Historical Overview, Comparison and Interpretation _________________________________________________________________ Deborah Houlding Abstract The planetary rulership of terms has always been a contentious issue. Astrologers such as Ptolemy and Valens recorded the heated disagreements of their time, and demonstrated the differences between competing national ‘systems’. The Egyptian system was clearly predominant in the preserved records of classical astrologers, but by the end of the medieval period its popularity waned as support moved to the table ‘deemed worthy of record’ by the illustrious Ptolemy. Supposed to have been his preferred choice, this table of ‘Ptolemaic terms’ was later said to have settled all disagreements and to have helped standardize European technique. Even if this were true (it is not), the inconsistency by which the Ptolemaic terms are recorded makes this table the most problematic and controversial of all! What the inconsistencies are, and why they exist, is the focus of this paper. Introduction With the renewed interest in Hellenistic techniques, many modern astrologers who employ the planetary terms are choosing to adopt the older, Egyptian system, which was evidently favoured by early classical astrologers. By far the majority, however, employ the so-called ‘Ptolemaic terms’ as set out in William Lilly’s 17th century textbook Christian Astrology.1 The continued reproduction of Lilly’s text and the influence it maintains upon astrologers studying traditional techniques2 has given this particular rendering of the terms a position of such authority that even software products which allow their computation are 1 Lilly, William, Christian Astrology (London, 1647) [hereafter CA]. The terms, shown in Figure 1, are recorded on p.104.
