What I'm really asking is: do you think this stuff is valid, and/or are there more recent and reliable data than in the table (see link at end) especially regarding the "super-galaxy"/ecliptic intersections. The references to zodiac signs are here of course in tropical coordinates.
"Cosmic...
Yes, I was thinking exactly along those lines. I know Hamlet's Mill well, and I've drawn on it a lot. I understand the galactic nodes exactly as you do. As I understand it, our galaxy is part of a group of galaxies which also has an organized shape and a statistically defined central plane which...
Thanks for the link, Chronos, finding it a bit difficult to find my way around but maybe I'll learn. If you're saying that there is no such such thing as an organisation of our galaxy (and maybe of the group of galaxies ours is within), I don't understand how the US Naval Observatory think they...
Thanks very much for your help. Yes, I was already treating the US Naval value for galactic nodes as the more reliable. I am of course aware that the galactic (and super-galactic nodes) change in terms of tropical (astronomical) coordinates with precession, but that's what I'm looking into: the...
Hello all,
I'm researching in the field of ancient cosmology and the history of associated astrological beliefs. I'm working on the links between the galactic and supergalactic planes and systems of organising and dividing the ecliptic. There are a number of astronomical references for where...
