These specific constellations are in the area of the sky in which the sun, moon and planets appear to move. This area is called the “ecliptic” and is the projection of earth’s orbital plane into outer space. The band of the zodiac constellations are between eight degrees north and south of the orbital plane.

    Introductii on Astrology is a fascinating subject. While almost everyone knows his or her astrological sign, they are not always familiar with the personal characteristics associated with it. Those who turn their interest into more understanding of the subject itself will gain some truly unique insights about themselves and others. I have rarely encountered a person totally immune from wanting to know more about astrology. The following paragraphs explain some of their most frequent questions. What ii s astroll ogy? Astrology is the study of cycles. The sun, moon, and planets move in their own time and in their own space according to individual cycles. Similarly ordained, the earth and all life upon its surface carry forward in complicated, perhaps never-to-be-fully understood, patterns that make up the Grand Design of the cosmos. The Greeks believed this enthusiastically. Some of the greatest thinkers in the history of mankind did not at all think it unreasonable to study planetary cycles in order to gain a better understanding of how mankind in general and people as individuals, fit into the universal cosmos. The Greeks assembled the body of knowledge upon which modern astrology is based. They applied their advanced understanding of astronomy and mathematics to the descriptions handed down from the astrologers/astronomers (there was no distinction in those days) of ancient Egypt and Babylonia. What does one’s astrological sign mean? When people refer to their astrological sign, they are merely stating which sign of the zodiac the sun was in when they were born. Why is the sun's position so important in astrology? As stars go with respect to size and brilliance, our sun is not a very impressive specimen.

Page 04 Conference Chart On the many occasions he opened Conference, Charles Harvey nearly always reminded us, especially those who complained about the Page 05 choice of transits for the event, that astrologers should welcome the President’s Welcome challenge of making positive use of them, however difficult they were. For this reason, he always booked the first weekend in September, whatever the astrological signatures were. Page 06-07 Useful Information Since then, the Association has generally kept to September.

  • Who Believes in Astrology? E€Ect of Favorableness of Astrologically Derived Personality Descriptions on Acceptance of Astrology
    Personality and Individual Differences 31 12001) 895±902 www.elsevier.com/locate/paid Who believes in astrology? Eect of favorableness of astrologically derived personality descriptions on acceptance of astrology Margaret Hamilton * University of Wisconsin Ð Washington County, Department of Psychology, 400 University Drive, West Bend, WI 53095 3699, USA Received 9 February 2000; received in revised form 10 August 2000; accepted 4 October 2000 Abstract Participants judged contemporary personality descriptions of odd-numbered astrological Sun signs to be more favorable than descriptions of even-numbered signs. Those born with the Sun in an odd-numbered sign expres- sed more belief in astrology than those born under an even-numbered Sun sign. These ®ndings suggest that one determinant of acceptance of astrology is the favorableness of the character analysis it oers. Implications for previous research on belief in astrology are discussed. # 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Astrology; Favorableness; Personality descriptions; Acceptance 1. Introduction Many researchers have noted both the widespread contemporary belief in astrology and the extent to which people exposed to astrological character analysis readily accept the personality descriptions it oers them 1Glick, Gottesman & Jolton, 1989; Snyder, 1974; Snyder, Larsen & Bloom, 1976). Recent ®ndings have suggested that this acceptance need not be short-lived. People may, in fact, incorporate astrologically based personality characteristics into their long-term self- concepts. Hamilton 11995) found that undergraduates, presented with one-paragraph descrip- tions of the characteristics of their own astrological ``Sun sign'' and an alternative Sun sign, chose their own Sun sign paragraph as a better representation of their personality than the alternative Sun sign description.

  • Smith ME. Did the Maya Build Architectural Cosmograms?
    DID THE MAYA BUILD ARCHITECTURAL COSMOGRAMS? Michael E. Smith I criticize recent applications of the "cosmogram" concept to ancient Maya architecture and cities. Although cosmograms- graphic representations of aspects of the cosmos-are known from Late Postclassic and early colonial Aztec and Maya sources, there is no textual suggestion that buildings or cities were viewed as cosmograms. Numerous authors, how eve^ assert confidently that architectural cosmograms abounded in Classic Maya cities. I examine known cosmograms, describe recent studies of architectural cosmograms, and discuss problems that occur when highly speculative interpretations are phrased as confident empiricalfindings. Hago una critica del modelo de "cosmograma" aplicado a la arquitectura y las ciudades rnayas. Hay cosmogramas (mode- 10s grdjicos de aspectos de la cosmovisidn) en las fuentes aztecas y rnayas de 10s periodos Postcldsico Tardio y colonial tem- prano, pero no hay evidencia en textos de que la gente antigua consideraron edificios o ciudades como cosmogramas. Muchos autores, sin embargo, ajirman con seguridad que habia cosmogramas arquitectdnicas en las ciudades mayas. Discuto cos- mogramas conocidas, describo estudios recientes de cosmogramas arquitectdnicas, y discuto 10s problemas que ocurren cuando se expresan interpretaciones muy especulativas como resultados empiricos fuertes. n 2003 Ipublished a comment (Smith 2003) on concept of the "cosmogram.~'Althoughthis term has a report by Wendy Ashrnore and Jeremy Sabloff been used in Mesoamerican studies for some time I(2002) in which I criticize their interpretations now (Freidel and Schele 1988b; MCluzin of possible cosmological influences on Maya city 1987-1 988), I could find no explicit definition of it planning. At the time of writing (2002), I was until 2004.' In a glossary to a textbook, Hendon and unaware of an impending explosion of publica- Joyce offer the following definition: "Cosmogram.

  • Astrological Glossary A
    Astrological Glossary A Afflicted: An antiquated term that continues to be used to describe a planet that has unfavorable aspects; squares, oppositions, and quincunxes. Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Anaretic degree: The final degree (29th degree) of any sign; also known as the degree of fate. Many astrologers believe that signs in the 29th degree – especially water signs – lend a considerable measure of intuitive, empathic and psychic ability to the native with planets in this degree. Angles: The lines of the chart wheel which lie at 0 degrees (the ascendant), 90 degrees (the I.C.), 180 degrees (the descendant), and 270 degrees (the M.C.). These are major points in a chart and represent Cardinal Qualities. Angular: A cardinal point in the horoscope Angular Houses: Houses 1, 4, 7, and 10 of the horoscope, which are positioned closest to the charts primary angles; ascendant, nadir, descendant, and Midheaven. Arabic Parts: Sensitive points on a chart developed by Arabic astrologers. These are calculated by adding the positions of two factors in the chart (e.g., Moon and Ascendant) and subtracting the position of a third factor. (e.g., Sun). Aquarian Age: A time period of approximately 2,160 years where the influence of Aquarius is prominent. An astrological age lasts for approximately 2,160 years and precesses or moves backward through the Zodiac. Also known as Precession. Some astrologers believe that the Age of Aquarius starts at approximately the new millennium. However, because of the discrepancy inflicted on the calendar by Pope Gregory, who gave us the Gregorian Calendar (which we still use today), the original timing was temporarily deviated from.
