IMPORTANT ASTROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY

“IMPORTANT ASTROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY”

Here you will be introduced to the terminology of Hindu astrology to enable you to comprehend the system.  The astronomy relevant to predictive astrology will be discussed in the first place.ASTRONOMICAL TERMINOLOGYECLIPTIC: Ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun.ZODIAC & ASTROLOGYZodiac is an imaginary belt in the heavens extending to 9º on both sides of ecliptic containing 12 signs of 30º each. The first sign starts from 0º of the sign Aries (Mesha) and extends to 30º. Each degree can be divided into 60 minutes, and each minute can be divided into 60 seconds for the purpose of precision in calculations. From the earth, the signs appear to be moving in a clockwise motion. The earth has two revolutions: one around the Sun which is completed in 365.25 days, and the other around its own axis which is completed in 24 hours. Due to earth’s movement around the Sun, when the Sun is viewed in the background of the zodiac it appears from the earth that the Sun moves/rotates at the speed of 1º per day in an anti-clockwise direction. The other revolution of the earth i.e. around its own axis causes rise of all the 12 signs in the horizon or east in a period of 24 hours.
