Planetary Round 4: Difference between revisions

Refers to the precession of Earth's axis of rotation with respect to inertial space. Inertial space is a coordinate system (or a frame of reference) defined with respect to the distant stars, whose relative positions do not change over reasonably long periods of time. A complete precession cycle (One Astrological Age) covers a period of approximately 25,765 years, the so called [[Great Platonic Year]], during which time the equinox regresses over a full 360°. The precessional movement also is the determining factor in the length of an Astrological Age or Aeon. (Note that there are 12 Zodiac Archetypes that are each of the 12 Astrological Ages. We are moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.) The precession of the equinoxes is caused by the differential between the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon on the Earth.
