<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

Differential Rotation<br />

Our entire galaxy rotates about its center. <strong>The</strong> spiral<br />

arms revolve in a clockwise direction as seen from the<br />

north galactic pole and the velocity <strong>of</strong> revolution <strong>of</strong><br />

stars about the center <strong>of</strong> the galaxy will decrease with<br />

increasing distance from the center. This is also true<br />

for the planetary orbits in the solar system; the far-out<br />

planets take longer to circle the Sun than do the inner<br />

planets. This is called differential rotation.<br />
