- A -
-
Air
-
One of the four elements. The air element finds expression in zodiac
through the three signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius and is held to
represent among other things: thought, communication, and
relationship. See also Fire,
Earth and
Water.
-
-
Alcabitius system
-
Method of house division, using time division to trisect the diurnal
semi-arc, similar to the more popular
Placidus system, yet
believed to be accurate for polar regions.
-
Angle
-
Any of the four
cardinal points are called
Angles. The Eastern Angle is also known as the
Ascendant, the Western Angle the
Descendant, the Southern Angle
is the Medium Coeli (MC)
and the Northern Angle is the Imum Coeli (IC).
-
-
Angular houses
-
Are those which fall on the angle, namely the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th
houses.
-
-
Angular planets
-
Are planets which fall on an angle. Some believe that a planet is
angular if it falls anywhere within the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th houses,
while others consider only a tight
conjunction of planet and
angle, including planets which fall on the other side of the angle in
the adjoining house.
-
-
Archetype
-
An original pattern or model. The essential principle behind an idea.
-
-
Ascendant
-
The degree of the zodiac which rises
over the eastern horizon. In early Greek astrology, this degree was
called the Horoscopos, from which the word horoscope was derived.
Sometimes the term Ascendant is used to describe the entire sign which
is rising. The Ascendant is considered by most astrologers to be very
significant in chart interpretation, although the specific symbolic
meaning varies greatly.
-
-
Aspect
-
The angular relationship between planets and other points in the
horoscope. These are often divided into Major and Minor aspects. The
Major aspects include the
Conjunction,
Sextile,
Square,
Trine and
Opposition, while the Minor
aspects are derived mathematically from these and include the
Quincunx,
Semi-square,
Semi-sextile,
Sesquiquadrate,
Quintile and
Bi-Quintile. The interpretation
of aspects depends on the planets or points involved, as well as the
particular aspect itself. The degree of arc in which the aspect has
effect depends on the nature of the planets involved and is called an
Orb.
-
Bi-Quintile
-
An aspect of 144 degrees of arc,
arising from a division of the 360 degree zodiac into two-fifths. See
also Quintile.
-
-
Bi-Septile
-
An aspect of 102.8 degrees of arc,
arising from a division of the septile aspect by two. See also
Septile.
-
-
Cadent
-
From the Latin "to fall", the Cadent houses are those which
"fall away" from the
Angles, namely the 3rd, 6th, 9th and
12th houses. Traditionally interpreted as a weakening influence on the
planets which tenant these houses.
-
-
Campanus system
-
A method of house division adapted from an earlier Arabian system by
Giovanni Campano, a 13th century astrologer. The system is one of the
Quadrant systems, so named because they use the
Ascendant/Descendant
and MC/IC
axes to divide the chart into four quadrants. The Campanus system
distinguishes itself by using the
cusps of the house to mark the center
of the house. This system causes distortion of the houses in charts
cast for polar locations.
-
-
Cardinality
-
One of the three
modalities which finds
expression through the signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. These
signs share a common dynamic, namely that of initiating action,
setting things in motion and providing leadership. See also
Fixity and
Mutability.
-
-
Chart
-
Term used synonymously with horoscope. See
Horoscope.
-
-
Choleric
-
One of the four temperaments,
associated with the element of fire.
The choleric personality is believed to indicate an optimistic,
youthful, impulsive temperament, prone to spontaneous outbursts of
emotion. See also Melancholic,
Phlegmatic and
Sanguine.
-
-
Composite chart
-
A single horoscope which shows the combined planetary positions of
two people, formed by the
midpoints of each planet, often
drawn for the location where the couple resides. The composite is
believed to describe the relationship between the two people. Many
astrologers focus primarily on the
aspects in the composite chart and
the house positions of the planets, while paying less attention to the
signs in which the planets are placed.
-
-
Conjunction
-
An aspect formed when two or more
planets are located at the same zodiacal degree. Generally interpreted
as an inseparable connection between the two planetary energies, the
interpretation of the conjunction dependes heavily on the planets
involved. Where they share an affinity, the conjunction is often seen
as a positive influence.
-
-
Cusp
-
The imaginary line that divides one house or sign from another,
although some house systems regard the
cusp as marking the center of the
house. Cusps are a subject of much discussion and disagreement. Some
believe that a planet on the cusp of two houses or signs will share
the influence of both, while others maintain that the cusp is the
strongest point, and therefore a planet on the cusp will demonstrate
most clearly the influence of the sign or house it is moving into. A
rationalization for this latter idea is that through
progression, the planet will
remain for the maximum time in the applying sign or house.
-
-
Decile
-
An aspect of 36 degrees of arc,
arising from a division of the 360 degree zodiac into 10ths. Sometimes
called the semi-quintile.
-
-
Delineation
-
Meaning to draw a line, the term is used in astrology to mean to
paint a portrait of a horoscope, in other words, to interpret.
-
-
Descendant
-
The opposite point to the
Ascendant, usually the
cusp of the 7th house, also known as
the Western Angle.
-
-
Detriment
-
When a planet is in the sign which is opposite the sign of its
dignity, it is said to be in detriment. A planet is detriment is
weakened, because the sign's characteristics are not in affinity with
the natural expression of the planetary energy. Example: Mars is in
its detriment in Libra. See also
Dignity,
Exaltation and
Fall.
-
-
Dignity
-
When a planet is in its own sign, it is said to be in its dignity.
See Ruler. Example: Mars is in its
dignity in the sign of Aries. See also
Detriment,
Exaltation and
Fall.
-
-
Direct station
-
The point where a stationary planet begins its direct motion,
compared with a
retrograde station, where a
stationary planet begins its retrograde motion.
-
Earth
-
One of the four elements. The
earth element finds expression in zodiac through the three signs
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn and is held to represent among other
things: sensuality, physicality and materialism, incarnation,
pragmatism and boundaries. See also
Fire,
Air and
Water.
-
-
Ecliptic
-
The apparant path of the Sun around the Earth, so named because it is
on this path that Solar and Lunar eclipses take place.
-
-
Electional astrology
-
The practice of astrology the purpose of which is to choose the most
advantageous moment to begin an undertaking such as a wedding, a
journey, a business venture, a theater opening, etc. A number of
possible charts are cast and based on the appropriate significators,
one chart and its related moment in time is elected.
-
-
Elements
-
Evolved from the ancient paradigm that saw all matter as either fire,
earth, air or water, the astrological elements form the essence of the
signs of the zodiac. Each of the four elements is represented by a
sign in each of the three
modalities,
Cardinal,
Fixed and
Mutable, forming twelve unique
archetypal principles. Some astrologers also attribute an elemental
correspondence to houses. See also the individual elements:
Fire,
Earth,
Air and
Water.
-
-
Ephemeris
-
A table listing the positions of the planets and nodes and usually
including other astronomical data.
-
-
Equal House system
-
Method of house division that divides the horoscope into twelve equal
sections, starting with the
Ascendant (or more rarely the
MC.) In this system, the
MC does not coincide with the cusp of
the 10th house.
-
-
Esoteric
-
Pertaining to the inner, as opposed to exoteric, or outer.
-
-
Exaltation
-
According to a system of affinities attributed to Ptolemy, a given
sign affords such a positive atmosphere for a planet that the planet
is said to be exalted or in the sign of its exaltation. This is
considered even more powerful than when it is in its dignity. Example:
Mars is exalted in the sign of Capricorn. See also
Detriment,
Dignity and
Fall.
-
Fall
-
When a planet is in the sign which is opposite the sign of its
exaltation, it is said to be in its fall. A planet in its fall is
believed to be severely weakened, because the sign's characteristics
are inimical to the natural expression of the planetary energy.
Example: Mars is in its fall in the sign of Cancer. See also
Detriment,
Dignity and
Exaltation.
-
-
Feminine
-
Controversial term describing the polarity of a sign, ascribed to
Ptolemy. The even-numbered signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio,
Capricorn and Pisces (which incidentally represent the
earth and
water signs) are said to be feminine.
See Polarities. See also
Masculine.
-
-
Fire
-
One of the four elements. The
fire element finds expression in zodiac through the three signs Aries,
Leo and Sagittarius and is held to represent among other things:
intuition, action, spiritualty, creativity and drive toward
individuality. See also Earth,
Air and
Water.
-
-
Fixity
-
One of the three
modalities which finds
expression through the signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. These
signs share a common dynamic, namely that of blocking action,
maintaining status quo and they provide stability. See also
Cardinality and
Mutability.
-
Glyph
-
The inaccurate, but widely used term for the graphical symbol for a
planet or sign. The correct term is Sigil.
-
-
Grand Cross
-
A pattern of aspects involving at
least four planets which form two
oppositions at right angles to
each other. Usually, these planets will fall in signs of the same
modality (Cardinal, Fixed or
Mutable) each in its own
element. This is believed to
generate a great deal of friction in the
horoscope, often with obvious and
creative results.
-
-
Grand Trine
-
A pattern of aspects involving at
least three planets which form
trines with each other. Usually,
these planets will fall in signs of the same
element (Fire, Earth,
Air or
Water), each in its own
modality. This pattern is
believed to indicate a great deal of harmony in the
horoscope, as the planetary
energies seem to cooperate with one another.
-
Horary astrology
-
The practice of astrology, the purpose of which is to determine the
answer to a specific question. A chart is erected for the moment the
question is asked (or the moment the question is understood. Horary
theory provides detailed rules for determining the correct moment for
which to cast the chart), and interpreted according to very specific
rules.
-
-
Horoscope
-
The symbolic, usually two-dimensional representation of the heavens,
from a particular place at a particular time.
-
-
Houses
-
The twelve divisions of the horoscope based on the time and place of
birth. There are many methods of performing this house division and
astrologers disagree about the validity of the various systems. Houses
are generally interpreted to represent the arenas or areas of life in
which an activity takes place or an event is likely to manifest
itself. Each facet of life is said to be represented by a particular
house and it is one of the astrologer's tasks to correctly identify
the corresponding house of a given problem.
-
-
Humours
-
See Temperaments
-
Imum Coeli (IC)
-
The opposite point to the
MC, often interpreted as
representing the most private or secretive part of the chart.
-
-
Inconjunct
-
Sometimes used as synonymously for the
Quincunx aspect, sometimes used to
imply that there are no aspects.
- (no entries)
-
Koch system
-
Method of house division, named after the German astrologer Koch,
using time division to trisect the diurnal semi-arc. This system
causes distortion of the houses in charts cast for polar locations and
tables of houses are only available up to 60 degrees latitude.
-
Luminaries
- The Sun and the Moon.
-
-
Lunar Nodes
-
The points at which the orbit of the Moon meets the
Ecliptic. There is disagreement as
to the importance and interpretation of these points, also called the
North and South nodes for the points where the orbit crosses the
Ecliptic in the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively. Some
astrologers maintain that the nodes are of great importance while
others disregard them completely. There is, however, some degree of
acknowledgement that the nodes represent points in the chart that are
sensitive to aspects from
radical,
transitting and
progressed planets.
-
Major aspects
-
The Conjunction,
Sextile,
Square,
Trine and
Opposition are the group of
aspects usually known as the major aspects. All other aspects are
known as Minor aspects.
-
-
Masculine
-
Controversial term describing the polarity of a sign, ascribed to
Ptolemy. The odd-numbered signs Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius
and Aquarius (which incidentally represent the
fire and
air signs) are said to be masculine.
See Polarities. See also
Feminine.
-
-
Medium Coeli (MC)
-
Meaning "the middle of the skies", the MC is the point at
the moment of birth where the
Ecliptic crosses the meridian of
the place of birth. As the culmination point, the MC is usually
interpreted as representing issues of ambition, career, outward
striving, making one's mark on the world.
-
Melancholic
-
One of the four temperaments,
associated with the element of earth.
The melancholic personality indicates a conservative, practical,
dependable temperament, prone to stubborness and possessiveness. See
also Choleric,
Phlegmatic and
Sanguine.
-
-
Midheaven
-
Se
Medium Coeli (MC).
-
-
Midpoint
-
The point on the zodiac between two
planets or other astrologically significant points, believed to be
sensitive to aspects,
transits and
progressions in the same way
as the individual planets. Usually interpreted as a kind of mini-conjunction
between the planets involved, the midpoints are believed to be
particularly important if they aspect a third planet in the
horoscope.
-
-
Midpoint trees
-
Graphical representations of the
midpoints which fall within a
specified orb of a given planet,
believed to illustrate in greater detail the quality of expression
that planet is likely to have.
-
Minor aspects
-
See aspects.
-
-
Modalities
-
Cardinal,
Fixed or
Mutable, the modalities are
often called the Quadruplicities or the Qualities. Each represents a
different dynamic - the cardinal modality initiates action, the fixed
modality holds and maintains action, while the mutable modality
adjusts and fluctuates.
-
-
Mundane astrology
-
The practice of astrology, the purpose of which is to examine issues
related to national and political trends. Although the techniques of
natal astrology may sometimes be used to examine important persons
such as world leaders and royalty, mundane astrology tends to
emphasize the interpretation of eclipses, solstices, planetary
conjunctions, and lunations.
-
-
Mutablility
-
One of the three
modalities which finds
expression through the signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
These signs share a common dynamic, namely that of adaptability,
changeability and they provide flexibility. See also
Cardinality and
Fixity.
-
Natal astrology
-
The practice of astrology in which the subject of interest is the
interpretation of a birth chart.
-
-
Natal chart
-
A birth chart or horoscope drawn
for the moment of birth.
-
-
Native
-
The subject of a natal chart.
-
-
Nodes
-
see Lunar Nodes
-
Opposition
-
An aspect of 180 degrees of arc,
formed by a division of the 360 degree zodiac by two. Under normal
circumstances, the planets involved will fall into opposing signs,
with a different polarity and
element, yet united around a
common archetypal theme. The
opposition is usually intepreted as providing tension between the
planets involved.
-
-
Orb
-
Planets are considered to be in
aspect when the relationship is
within the accepted Orb or area, expressed in degrees of arc. There is
very little agreement about the correct size of orbs, and different
rules apply for the various astrological disciplines. Sometimes a
planet is assigned an orb, other times it is the aspect itself which
carries an orb.
-
-
Orientations
-
Along with the elements,
polarities and
modalities, the orientations are
a way of grouping the signs and houses. The three orientations:
Personal,
Social and
Universal, describe a way of
orienting energy in time and space.
-
-
Outer planets
-
A term used most often to refer to the planets Uranus, Neptune and
Pluto. Also called Transpersonal planets.
-
Part of Fortune
-
The point in the horoscope which is the same distance along the
zodiac from the Ascendant as the
Sun is from the Moon. For example, if the Sun and Moon are in
conjunction, the Ascendant and Part of Fortune will also be in
conjunction. There is much
disagreement about the interpretation and importance of this fictive
point in the chart.
-
-
Personal
-
One of the three
orientations where energy is
oriented toward one's own experiences, feelings, thoughts and
activities. The personal signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer
and the personal houses are the 1st through 4th houses. See also
Social and
Universal.
-
-
Phlegmatic
-
One of the four temperaments,
associated with the element of water.
The phlegmatic personality indicates a withdrawn, sensitive,
emotional, somewhat unstable temperament prone to moodiness and
self-protective behavior. See also
Choleric,
Melancholic and
Sanguine.
-
-
Placidus system
-
Method of house division, named after the 17th century astrologer
Placidus de Tito, using time division to trisect the diurnal semi-arc.
The fact that the Placidus system is one of the most widely used is
due in large part to the widespread availability of Placidus house
tables, especially in the popular "Raphael" series.
-
-
Planets
-
In most brances of modern astrology, the term is applied to the
heavenly bodies, with the exception of meteors and comets, which
revolve about the Sun, plus the Sun and the Moon. Astrologers realize
that the Sun and Moon are not planets in the astronomical sense, but
continue for the sake of convenience, the traditional nomenclature. In
ancient times the term, which means "wanderer" was applied
to those heavenly bodies which appeared to move against the backdrop
of fixed stars.
-
-
Polarities
-
A division into two, usually the gender of a sign:
Feminine/Masculine. Some astrologers use the terms Negative/Positive to refer to the
polarities, while others, in an attempt to avoid a sexist use of the
traditional term, use Yin/Yang. Greene indirectly makes a case for a
non-sexist usage of the terms Feminine and Masculine by comparing a
sign's orientation to the biological human sexual functions. In other
words, a sign orienting toward an outgoing, penetrating
one-pointedness, maps to the biological masculine, while an
inward-turning, containing or nourishing orientation maps to the
biological feminine. Care must be taken not to confuse a discussion of
Feminine with a discussion of women, or Masculine with men.
-
Progressions
-
Chart positions derived by the birth chart for a specific time after
(sometimes before) birth, using a fictive key, such as "one day
for a year" whereby the actual positions of planets on a given
day after birth are believed to reflect issues which take place on the
respective year of the person's life. For example, to examine the
issues of a person's 21st year, one would compare the natal horoscope
with the actual planetary positions that occurred on the 21st day
after the person was born. The theory of progressions is based on the
belief that the macrocosm (in this case, the year) is contained in the
microcosm (the day) and the
aspects formed between the
progressed planets and natal planets, or between
transits and progressions will
describe issues for that particular time. Progressions are held to be
meaningless on their own, but are indicators of timing and the
unfolding of the potentials represented in the birth chart.
-
-
Psychological astrology
-
The practice of astrology, the purpose of which is to provide
information, insight or advice about psychological issues or issues of
personal or spiritual growth. The primary tool is the natal chart and
usually the progressions and transits to the natal chart.
-
Quadrants
-
The axes of the Ascendant/Descendant
and MC/IC
cause a division of the horoscope into four parts, called quadrants.
Some astrologers assign characteristics to the individual quadrants,
which can be seen as progressing from the Ascendant and 1st house to
the 12th, as a progression of seasons or as the life-cycle of human
development. have many names. The first quadrant has been called
vernal, sanguine and infantine; the second meridianal, choleric and
youthful; the third autumnal, melancholic and mature; the fourth
wintery, phlegmatic and decrepit.

-
Quincunx
-
An aspect of 150 degrees, where the
two aspecting planets are separated by five signs of the zodiac. Many
astrologers, including Richard Idemon, consider this aspect to by very
significant, even deserving a place among the so-called
Major aspects. The quincunx
is often interpreted as providing frustration, confusion, irritation
or oddness to the planets involved.
-
-
Quindecile
-
An aspect of 24 degrees, arising
from a division of the 360 degree zodiac into 15ths.
-
-
Quintile
-
An aspect of 72 degrees of arc,
arising from a division of the 360 degree zodiac into fifths.
Astrologers disagree as to the importance or effect of this aspect,
which sometimes is interpreted as providing emphasis, power or
single-mindedness to the planets involved.
-
Radical
-
Meaning "root", radical is normally used to mean a natal
horoscope for living beings or
any other kind of base horoscope, for example an
electional or event
chart drawn for the birth or start time. The term Radix is sometimes
used instead. Typically used to distinguish radical positions from
progressed or
transitting positions.
-

-
Rectification
-
The process of adjusting or determining a birth time by referencing
known events and dates and working backward from
progressed or
transitting positions.

Regiomontanus system
-
Method of house division, evolved by the 15th century astrologer
Johannes Muller, who used the pseudonym Regiomontanus. This system
produces accurate results in polar regions.
-
-
Relationship chart
-
Often confused with a
Composite chart, the
Relationship chart presents in a single drawing the derived planetary
information of two individual horoscopes based on their
midpoints in time and space.
-
-
Retrograde
-
From the Latin "to step backwards", this term is applied to
the apparent backward motion of the planets through the
zodiac. Traditionally interpreted to
provide a negative or weakening effect on the planet, modern
astrologers tend to interpret retrograde motion as providing a slight
internal or introspective influence.
-
-
Retrograde station
-
The point where a stationary planet begins its retrograde motion,
compared with a direct station, where a stationary planet begins its
direct motion.
-
-
Rising sign
-
See Ascendant
-
-
Ruler
-
The planet which corresponds to the house or sign in question.
Example: Jupiter is the ruler of the 9th house and of Sagittarius.
Actually, when speaking of houses, the correct term is Lord. In this
case, Jupiter is Lord of the 9th and ruler of Sagittarius. Various
systems of correspondences exist, most widely used is from Ptolemy.
See also Dignity.
-
Sanguine
-
One of the four temperaments,
associated with the element of air. The
sanguine personality is individualistic, relates to the world using
the intellect and likely to disconnect from the emotions,
freedom-loving, friendly, communicative, cool and dry. See also
Choleric,
Melancholic and
Phlegmatic.

-
Three or more planets in
conjunction, or more often
merely grouped in the same sign or house. Also called
Stellium.

Semi-decile
-
An aspect of 18 degrees of arc,
formed by a division of the 360 degree zodiac by 20.
-
-
Semi-sextile
-
-
An aspect of 30 degrees of arc,
formed by a division of the 360 degree zodiac by twelve, or a division
of the sextile aspect by two. Interpreted usually as a milder or more
suble form of sextile aspect.
-
-
Semi-square
-
An aspect of 45 degrees of arc,
formed by a division of the 360 degree zodiac by eight, or a division
of the square aspect by two. Interpreted usually as a milder or more
subtle form of square aspect.
-
-
Septile
-
An aspect of 51.4 degrees of arc,
formed by a division of the 360 degree zodiac by seven.
-
-
Sesquiquadrate
-
An aspect of 135 degrees of arc,
the combination of a square and a
semi-square. The sesquiquadrate
is usually interpreted as providing an influence of irritation or
agitation on the planets involved.
-
-
Sextile
-
An aspect of 60 degrees of arc,
formed by a division of the 360 degree zodiac by six. Interpretted as
having a gently beneficial influence on the planets involved.
-
-
Social
-
One of the three
orientations where energy is
oriented toward relating with others. The social signs are Leo, Virgo,
Libra and Scorpio and the social houses are the 5th through 8th
houses. See also Personal and
Universal.
-
-
Square
-
An aspect of 90 degrees of arc
formed by the division of the 360 degree zodiac by four. Under normal
circumstances, planets in square will share the same
modality but different
element,
polarity and
orientation. Squares are
usually interpreted as providing a frustrating influence, because the
planetary energies are in conflict or competition.
-
-
Stellium
-
Three or more planets in
conjunction, or more often
merely grouped in the same sign or house. Also called
Satellitium.
-
-
Succedent
-
The houses which follow the
Angles "in succession" are
given the name Succedent, namely the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses.
See Angular and
Cadent.
-
-
Synastry
-
The comparison of two individual
horoscopes, focusing in
particular on the cross-aspects
between charts. The synastry chart can be seen to describe the way two
people relate to one another.
-
-
T-Cross
-
A pattern of aspects in which two
planets form an opposition and a
third planet at their midpoint, in
square. Also called a T-Square.
Interpreted as a powerful influence on the individual, the opposing
planets generating a great deal of tension, often discharged by the
focal planet.
-
-
Temperaments
-
The early Greek theory of four humours, which links bodily fluids
with dispositions or tempers. The fluids were Phlegm, Black Bile,
Yellow Bile and Blood, which correspond to the temperaments
Phlegmatic,
Melancholic,
Choleric and
Sanquine, respectively. A person's
temperament was believed to be affected by a lack or excess of a
particular fluid.
-
-
Topocentric system
-
Method of house division, proposed by Polich and Page, which is
capable of calculating house cusps for
any place on earth. The system is said to have been derived from
experience by projecting known events onto a chart, as opposed to
other house systems which have been derived mathematically.
-
-
Transit
-
From the Latin, "to go across", a transit is the crossing
of a planet in the heavens over another point (usually a point in the
natal or other horoscope). The
aspect formed between the
transitting planet and the point in the horoscope is interpreted using
the inherent symbolism of the aspect itself (for example whether it is
a trine or a square) and the planets involved. Particularly in
psychological astrology, a transit is thought to indicate a catalyst for the unfolding of a
psychological process, whether or not it results in concrete events.
-
-
Trine
-
An aspect of 120 degrees of arc,
formed by the division of the 360 degree horoscope by three. Under
normal circumstances, planets in trine will share the same
element. The trine is normally
interpreted as a harmonious influence on the planets involved.
