Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm new here, and not sure how this all works - I just saw that someone wrote: " How can Pluto be in Sagittarius when it's so close to Antares? " ----- --------- I don't understand the question, because Pluto is 25 degrees past Antares. Pluto is now 5:22 of tropical Capricorn, but sidereally it is just above the bow of the Sagittarius Archer, a little past Polis, Mu Sagittarii; its sidereal (Lahiri) position is now 11 Sag 22. Antares is the heart of the Scorpion, and is now 9 Sag 55 tropical, 10 Scorp 01 sidereal (Lahiri) Love, Diana PS: currently, to translate a Lahiri sidereal position to a tropical position, subtract 6 degrees from the sidereal position, then go forward 1 sign. to translate a tropical position to a Lahiri sidereal position, add 6 degrees to the tropical position, then go back one sign. =========== It just occurred to me that the question might have been hanging out there a long time - it might have been written back when Pluto was in the area of Antares, which, as the heart of the Scorpion, is in sidereal Scorpio, but its tropical position is 9 Sag 55, because the sign of tropical Sagittarius has, by precession, overtaken the stars of the Scorpion.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The " How can Pluto be in Sagittarius when it's so close to Antares? " is at the end of every e-mail this person writes. It is a rhetorical question, I think, probably written when Pluto was close to Antares. Isn't Antares the same star as Jyeshta in the Nakshatras? I think the nakshatra, of the same name, is from 16'40 " Scorpio to 0'00 " Sagittarius. So, I am not understanding the 10 deg 01 min (Scor. Lahiri).

I don't know if I can change that write-up. I can try. Maybe tomorrow. Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
