4. All points located along this celestial meridian
will be aligned and in conjunction with the
North/South geographic meridian for Ann
Arbor.
5. However, only the upper star is also conjunct
by declination (= latitude) for Ann Arbor.
6. The planet Jupiter (shown) would be overhead,
but to the South of Ann Arbor and directly
overhead a city in South America.
7. However, all the points/objects shown would
be conjunct the Midheaven for this chart.
At this point, it is hoped the reader has some feel for
how the geographic sphere fits or matches the
equatorial sphere. Perhaps it is clear to you why the
equatorial coordinates right ascension (RA) and
declination are so important in mundane astrology
(politics, etc.). For one, any planetary position can be
matched to a spot on the Earth by both longitude and
latitude, and this is what is done when we trace
eclipse paths on the globe. There is not space to go
into great detail with this subject, but if the reader
understands the simple relationship between the
geographic and mundane (equatorial) spheres, many
interesting ideas may occur.
