Articles on Astrology by Joanna

Because traveling the Starlit Path should enhance one's life, Joanna has endeavored to make these articles download quickly, be relevant, be unusual, and remain well illustrated. Below you'll find the portals to polished text and vivid graphics (some animated) that often reflect or portray the actual movements in our own solar system.

"Our inheritance is a rich legacy, one that's well founded upon the visual sky. Carefully observed since ancient times, that sky is still the basis of our current Earth-centered Astrological perspective."

Declination is more than a north-south measurement from the Celestial Equator (an imaginary extension of Earth's equator out into space). Earth's axial tilt throughout her annual circum-Solar trek generates her hospitable seasons, with their variations of sunlight, and nurturing for her many lifeforms. The Tropical Zodiac perfectly describes these seasons!! Declination is their source-point...
