<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

wonderful precision <strong>of</strong> these natural astrological<br />

coordinate systems.<br />

In fact, many <strong>of</strong> these principles are graphically<br />

revealed through the study and exercise <strong>of</strong> the<br />

various astrological coordinate systems. For<br />

instance: what appears in one system as isolated and<br />

singular entities that are apparently unconnected,<br />

when viewed in the perspective <strong>of</strong> another system<br />

define the basic shape <strong>of</strong> the system itself. How <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

in our lives does some singularity appear as if an<br />

other and foreign entity, but later, when we have<br />

experienced several <strong>of</strong> this type as representatives <strong>of</strong><br />

a kind at first unfamiliar, this same event becomes<br />

recognizable to us and loses its threatening quality. It<br />

happens all the time to each <strong>of</strong> us.<br />

I cannot recommend strongly enough the exercise <strong>of</strong><br />

these various ways or systems for understanding our<br />

universe to astrologers practicing today. Let us<br />

examine briefly some <strong>of</strong> these larger systems and<br />

their systems and their Centers. For those <strong>of</strong> you<br />

interested in a more thorough description and catalog<br />

<strong>of</strong> the various members <strong>of</strong> these systems see my<br />

book: “Astrophysical Directions” (1976).<br />

Cosmic Systems and Centers<br />

1. SOLAR SYSTEM Center: Sun<br />

2. LOCAL SYSTEM (Gould's Belt) This is a group<br />

<strong>of</strong> some 10 to the 8 th stars <strong>of</strong> which the Sun is a<br />

member. <strong>The</strong> Local System, originally thought to be a<br />

minute galaxy embedded with the Milky Way, is<br />

considered to be an ellipsoid <strong>of</strong> 700x200 parsecs with<br />

the long axis parallel to the New Galactic Longitudes<br />

160-deg/340-deg and located in Orion-Cygnus spiral<br />

arm. <strong>The</strong> centroid <strong>of</strong> the Local System is in Virgo at<br />

about 15deg25' with nodes to the Ecliptic at 10deg22'<br />
