The Astrology of Space
The Tropical Zodiac or Ecliptic
The term "ecliptic" is the astronomical word for what
astrologers call the plane of the zodiac. Although, as
astrologers, we all use the zodiac or ecliptic in our
work, let us review just what it, in fact, is:
The Ecliptic or zodiac is the plane of the Earth's orbit
and, like a vast sheet of glass, it can is considered to
extend infinitely in all directions. In other words, the
360° orbit of the Earth around the Sun describes a
plane that passes through the center of the Earth and
the Sun. By definition, our Earth ever moves only
within this thin plane in its endless orbit around the
Sun. In the diagram, the Earth revolves in a counterclockwise
direction (as seen from looking down from
the north pole of the ecliptic).
