Question in subject.
Precession is the gradual change in the orientation of a spinning body's rotational axis."..Earth's motion around the Sun, not as simple as I thought.."
This is not what the poster was asking, but the Sun's own motion through space. Wouldn't this mean precession, as the Sun moves over a period of several thousand years through one sign and back into the next sign? Next or current passage through tropical Aquarius or sidereal .....?
Totally different to the Sun's apparent daily motion through the signs (zodiac) as seen from Earth during the course of a year .... plus a degree or two .... as a result of Earth's own orbit of the Sun, through which it is always in opposition to it.
I have never personally read of the Sun's own motion through the cosmos being part of an Earth based astrological interpretation of a chart. Its effect through a sign covers aspects of Earth's Evolutionary Eras, doesn't it?
At what speed is Sun Travelling?So it's NOT the gradual motion of the Sun through the cosmos, but planet Earth itself?
Logical when thinking about it because stars (Suns) are said to have fixed positions.
Years back I appear to have misinterpretted the wording within the study book in which precession was described. The mental picture created has never found reason to be questioned to alter it. I'll have to get my head around above concept to envision it.
Thanks for putting me straight J.A ...... Sorry MoonBucket for providing incorrect information (tr. Sun opp natal Mercury, Tr. Mercury quincunx natal Saturn.)
