The Astrology of Space
Snapshots of Earth at a Birth
Although many students of astrology are only aware
of the zodiac sphere and zodiac coordinates
(longitude and latitude), there are actually three
separate spheres/coordinate systems that make up a
birth chart. They are the Ecliptic (zodiac) Sphere, the
Celestial Sphere (equatorial), and the Horizon Sphere
(azimuth and altitude). Each is oriented differently in
space, so it is worthwhile to take the time to
understand this.
Much of this will be clear through study on your part. I
have found that it is very difficult to explain these
different coordinate systems in words. Illustrations
help a lot and drawing out your own horizon helps
most of all. I apologize for the awkwardness of this
presentation and can imagine a small book devoted to
a careful presentation of these three coordinate
systems.
