hi there,, as per your question,, i do hope this may answer a few ,, of what many may question,,,and for this I do hope they do,,,
your question:
the distance north or south of the earth's equator, mesured in degress. Divisions of latitude are pictured on a map by horizonal parallel lines, the equator is 0 degress latitude; the north pole is 90 degress north latitude; the south pole is 90 degress south latitude,, in order to calculate an exact.. one must know both the latitude and the longitude,
longitude:
the distance east or west on the earths surface, measured in degress from the prime meridian which is 0 degress longitude, the prime meridian ( also called greenwich meridian) is a vertical line running from the north pole to the south pole that intersects greenwich, england,, greenwich, england, is 0 degress longitude; new york city is 74 degress west longitude; tokyo is 140 east longitude, longitude also represents differences in time; each 15 degress of longitude represents one hour, when it is 12:00 noon in greenwich england ( known as greenwich mean time), it is 7:00 a.m. in new york city and 9 p.m. in tokyo,
luminaries: the sun and moon,,lumianary was the most common terms for the sun or the moon, nowadays the world planet is applied to the sun and moon and moon as well as to the planets,
lunar mansions, division of the planets into 28 days (for sometimes 27 ) parts, based on the moons 28- day cycle (27.32166,days to be exact) of the eastern world, eg, is based on the lunar cycle, whereas western is based on the solar cycle, lunation ,,the moment of conjunction of the sun and the moon, in other words, the new moon,, a lunation is also the period between one new moon and the next , a time span of approximately 29 days, science tends to use the term lunation to mean a new moon, which marks the beginning of a new cycle, celestal equator the earth's equator
projected outward onto the heavenly sphere. consellations, groups of stars assigned names suggested by the patterns they form in the heavens, to the ancients, charting the constellations was an invaluable method of studying and organizing the universe, Angles,,the four points that marks the horizon , the four angles are the east, west, north and south,,these are the most important and sensitive points.
aspects to remember if charting,,,
conjuction: degress apart= 0 degress
sextile: degress apart= 60 degress
square: degress apart= 90 degress
trine: degress apart= 120 degress
inconjuct: degress apart= 150 degress
opposition degress apart= 180 degress,
