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

<strong>The</strong> Pole Star (North Star)<br />

<strong>The</strong> Earth is endlessly revolving, exposing us,<br />

wherever we are, to the entire circle <strong>of</strong> the heavens.<br />

At night, we can see the stars, planets, and<br />

constellations, change every few hours or so. But<br />

there are two places in the heavens that do not<br />

change, and that is the part <strong>of</strong> the heavens directly<br />

above (and below) the north and south geographic<br />

poles, respectively. Everything revolves around those<br />

two points.<br />

In the Northern Hemisphere, there happens to be a<br />

star right above the North Pole, and this is called<br />

(obviously) the Pole Star. It is also called the North<br />

Star. This star has been used forever as a guide star<br />

for travelers and seamen, because it is the one<br />

celestial object in the Northern Hemisphere that is<br />

always there. It does not change.<br />
