Question #1944: astrology is harder than math

AvatarAsk Zeus Operator1 min to read

Where do I start studying astrology? I've read the astrology part of the website, but honestly it's not that clear-cut

For example
(Sun) 18♒59'34''

What is that? In the natal chart there is a part full of numbers, what are those? I feel dumb studying astrology, but at least I'm trying 😭

That's just the degrees of the Sign at which the planet is on in the astrology chart. Each sign is 30 degrees wide. Looks like the Sun is in Aquarius which is also the Sun's sign of detriment which makes the influence of the Sun in that chart weaker.

Also the numbers might be telling you different aspects between the planets in the chart and how tight those aspects are. Websites like Astrodentist usually tell you if the planets are aspecting each other in a chart and also shows the orb degrees of how tightly those planets are in aspect to each other.

Symbols:
Arc Minute = ' (Apostrophe)
Arc Second = " (Quotation mark)

The Zodiac is a 360° Circle.

360° = Degrees
360° x 60 = 21,600' Arc Minutes
21,600' x 60 = 1,296,000" Arc Seconds

1° = Degree
1° x 60 = 60' Arc Minutes
60' x 60 = 3600" Arc Seconds

The Zodiac contains 12 Signs.
Each Sign is 30° (Begins -> 0°00'00". Ends -> 29°59'59").

30° = Degrees
30° x 60 = 1,800' Arc Minutes
1,800' x 60 = 108,000" Arc Seconds

30° x 12 = 360° Degrees
1,800' x 12 = 21,600' Arc Minutes
108,000" x 12 = 1,296,000" Arc Seconds

(Sun) 18♒59'34''

18° = Degrees
59' = Arc Minutes
34" = Arc Seconds
♒ = Aquarius

Let's take your example, and subtract it from the 30° sum total.

30° - 18° = 12° Degrees

30° x 60 = 1,800' Arc Minutes
18° x 60 = 1,080' Arc Minutes

1,800' - 1,080' = 720' Arc Minutes

720 x 60 = 43,200
The Great Pyramid of Giza is a 1:43,200 Scale Model of the Earth's Northern Hemisphere.

Now we subtract what remains.

720' - 59' = 661' Arc Minutes
661' - 34" = 660' Arc Minutes and 26" Arc Seconds (60 - 34 = 26)

Thus, The Sun has travelled 18° Degrees, 59' Arc Minutes and 34" Arc Seconds within Aquarius.
It needs to travel exactly 12° Degrees, 660' Arc Minutes and 24" Arc Seconds to reach Pisces.

The Sun rules Leo (5th Zodiac), Natural Ruler of the 5th House.
Uranus rules Aquarius (11th Zodiac), Natural Ruler of the 11th House.
Saturn Co-Rules Aquarius, Saturn is Co-Ruler of the 11th House.
Neptune rules Pisces (12th Zodiac), Natural Ruler of the 12th House.
Jupiter Co-Rules Pisces, Jupiter is Co-Ruler of the 12th House.

This is the targeted message.

There is an error in my post.
I mean to correct it.

12°660'24" doesn't make sense.

Let's remove and isolate 660', leaving us with 12°00'24"

660' ÷ 60' = 11° (1° = 60')

12°00'24" + 11° = 23°00'24"

23°00'24" doesn't make sense.

I miscalculated the distance between The Sun in Aquarius and Pisces.

Below is my correction.

Korpisaid:

30° x 60 = 1,800' Arc Minutes
18° x 60 = 1,080' Arc Minutes
1,800' - 1,080' = 720' Arc Minutes

720' is 12° Degrees, as 720' ÷ 60' = 12° (1° = 60')

Korpisaid:


Now we subtract what remains.

720' - 59' = 661' Arc Minutes
661' - 34" = 660' Arc Minutes and 26" Arc Seconds (60 - 34 = 26)"

720' (12°) - 59' = 661' (11°01')
661' (11°01') - 34" = 660'26" (11°00'26")

The Sun needs to travel exactly 11° Degrees, 00' Arc Minutes and 26" Arc Seconds to reach Pisces.

Also, there is an easier way to calculate the distance.

18°59'34" + 26" = 19°00'00" Aquarius

19°00'00" + 11° = 0°00'00" Pisces

30° is expressed as 0°00'00", the beginning of a sign.

This is because 29°59'59" is the end of a sign.

Simplified,

18°59'34" + 26" = 19° Aquarius

19° + 11° = 0° Pisces
