Celestial Mechanics: Circles & Cycles

$50.00

IN THIS THREE AND A HALF HOUR INTENSIVE WORKSHOP, WE COVER ALL OF THE ASTRONOMICAL PRINCIPLES YOU NEED TO FEEL MORE THAN COMPETENT AS AN OBSERVATIONAL ASTRONOMER AND PRACTICING ASTROLOGER.

THIS CLASS IS ALL ABOUT THE GREAT AND LESSER CIRCLES OF THE CELESTIAL SPHERE, HOW THEY INTERACT AND HOW THEIR CYCLES AFFECT EACH OTHER OVER SMALL AND LARGE SCALES OF TIME.

MY GOAL IS TO MAKE YOU CONFIDENT IN OBSERVING, VISUALIZING, IMAGINING AND JUDGING ALL KINDS OF INTERACTIONS ON THE CELESTIAL SPHERE, FROM ALL PERSPECTIVES ON EARTH- THE EQUATOR TO THE POLES.

WE WILL LOOK AT:

  • COSMOLOGICAL MODELS AND ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY OF THE PLANETARY SPHERES,

  • WHAT THE GREAT & LESSER CIRCLES DISCUSSED BY THE ANCIENTS ARE,

  • WHERE/HOW THEY INTERSECT AND INTERACT WITH EACHOTHER,

  • HOW THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE CIRCLES CYCLICALLY CHANGE ON SMALL (HOURLY), MEDIUM (MONTHLY), AND EPOCHAL (YEARLY) SCALES OF TIME,

  • WHY THESE CONCEPTS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO DOING SOUND ASTROLOGY,

  • HOW THEIR APPLICATIONS BECOME USEFUL IN PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY,

  • HOW THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS IN THE PROGRAM STELLARIUM CAN AID OUR VISUALIZATION AND COMPREHENSION OF THE COSMOS,

  • AND DISCUSS EXERCISES FOR THE STUDENTS’ OWN PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS AND STUDIES OF THE SKY AFTER THE CLASS FOR DEEPER IMERSION.

EXPANDED (BUT NOT EXHAUSTIVE) TOPICAL LISTING: PLANETARY SPHERES, HORIZONTAL SYSTEM (HORIZON, MERIDIAN, AZIMUTH/ALTITUDE), EQUATORIAL SYSTEM (CELESTIAL EQUATOR, DECLINATION/RIGHT ASCENSION, SIDEREAL TIME), THE ECLIPTICAL SYSTEM (TROPICAL ZODIAC, LATITUDE/LONGITUDE), EARTH’S LATITUDES (EQUATOR, TROPICS, ARCTICS, CIRCUMPOLAR CIRCLES), PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES (COLURES, POLE STARS, SIDEREAL & CONSTELLATIONAL ZODIACS), THE GALACTIC EQUATOR, AND MUCH MORE…
