The Astrology of Space
Solar Apex
The great disk of the galactic plane spins in space
through time and carries with it all objects, including
our Sun. Differential rotation causes objects that are
located at different distances from the center of the
galaxy to rotate at different speeds. In general,
different groups of objects of a similar kind tend to
move together through space. For instance, the Local
System of stars that includes our Sun is moving in the
general direction of the star Vega in the constellation
Lyra. This apparent direction is termed the Solar Apex
or Apex of the Sun's Way. The position given in
astronomy books for the solar apex depends upon
what group of stars we use to measure our Sun's
motion. This can lead to a lot of confusion as to which
of several values is significant for our use.
Solar motion is often explained as the deviation of the
Sun's motion from a circular motion around the GC.
