Some basics and why declinations is so important?
When you ask for the declination of the degree of
8 Sc 15 and its antiscia (or solstice point) that the
declination will be given for that degree on the ecliptic
and will be 18S38 declination but a planet may be in
8 Sc 15 AND NOT BE ON THE DEGREE OF THE ECLIPTIC THAT
IS ASSOCIATED that degree of declination. IN other words,
the ecliptic is simply the supposed arc of the Sun in
relation to our planet earth and its equator - it simply
measures the Sun's decline either North or South of
the earth's equator.
There is NO planet (other than Earth) whose relationship
to the Sun is defined by the same arc of measurement.
Since every degree of longitude may be measured from
north pole to south pole (vertically) a planet may be
in 8 Sc 15 BUT its arc may be so extreme that it is
not ON the Ecliptic (where the Ecliptic and longitude
intersect) and it may be in a very different degree
of declination while in 8 Sc 15 DEPENDING ON THE ECCENTRICITY
OF ITS ARC AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME. - IN OTHER WORDS
IT MAY BE IN AN 'OTHER' DECLINATION.
In other words, 8 Sc 15 longitude extends, in its elevation
above and/or below ecliptic, through every degree of
declination. The planet Pluto is an excellent
example of this right now. Longitudinally it transited
through the sign Scorpio from Nov 1983 through Nov 1995
but its declination, due to the eccentricity of its
arc continued to register in the sign Libra. You see,
any single degree of longitude will extend through EVERY
DEGREE OF DECLINATION and it is declination that measures
the planet's arc above or below the equator (around
the Earth's circumference) and the Sun's 'apparent'
arc above and below the the Earth's equator. Longitude
simply measures the simple circumference of the earth
(like measuring the waistline of a human being.)
You have to understand that when we say a planet is
in any given degree of longitude we are identifying
only one measurement and that measurement extends in
a huge circle of 360 degrees of space so that planet
could be anywhere above the arctic circle or below the
arctic circle.
When we say that a planet is in a specifc degree of
longitude AND a specific degree of declination it tells
us EXACTLY where to look for that planet because it
tells us the degree of inclination above or below the
ecliptic. Without longitude the given declination could
be anywhere in a 360 degree circle AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE
OF THE EARTH.
Without DECLINATION A given a planet could be anywhere
AROUND THE POLAR (NORTH POLE TO SOUTH POLE - A 360 DEGREE
CIRCLE FROM POLE TO POLE) CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE EARTH.
And there is the added benefit that the declination
will give us the degree of longitude where its specifc
degree and sign intersect the Ecliptic (where the action
is - at least for us Earthlings because we live on planet
Earth and the ecliptc angle activated by the Sun in
its cycle (or conversely, the Earth in ITS cycle) establishes
the Ecliptic and makes life on this planet not only
possible but largely pleasant!
So when you are using both longitude and declination
you are using a system that allows you to pinpoint the
'hot spots', so to speak, in space, in relation to the
planet where we live.
When you check a planet's declination to a degree of
longitude different from its given degree of longitude
you have discovered and identified another 'angle' or
'aspect' of that planet's influence (hidden safely away
in it declination, just waiting for someone to discover
the hidden dimension(s) of that planet.
Today, March 7, 2002 Pluto is in 17 Sag 35 by longitude
BUT by declination it is in 12S57 declination - a degree
of declination that intersects the longitudinal 4th
degree of Scorpio. Now, when Pluto finally enters 0
Cap in March 2008 it will be at 17S declination where
it still registers in the longitudinal sign of Scorpio.
