What Is a the "Celestial Sphere" and Why It Matters

The celestial sphere is a conceptual sphere that envelops Earth and extends infinitely into space. It is used to pinpoint any astronomical object. The center of the celestial sphere coincides with the center of our revered Earth. Consequently, any circle within the celestial sphere that shares the same center as our sacred planet is deemed a "great circle." These five great circles are detailed below.

1. The Ecliptic - The Ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun and Planets as the move across the sky. The places where the ecliptic intersects with the other circles create sensitive points on the horoscope chart.

2. The Horizon - The horizon is place on earth from your location where it appears earth meets the Sky. In a horoscope map It is represented by the line hrozontal line running through the center of the circle and marks the cusp if the 1st and 7th houses of the horoscope wheel. The horizon separates the horoscope into upper and lower hemispheres. The place where the ecliptic intersects with the horizon in the east marks the position of the Rising sign or the Ascendant.

3. The Meridian - The meridian is a line that runs paralell to the lines of longitude and extend around earth and back to your location. The Meridian separates horizon into eastern and western hemispheres.

4. The Prime Vertical - The zenith is a point right overhead that extends into he celestial sphere. It represents a point of spiritual wisdom for us. The Nadir is a point exactly opposite the zenith. The line connecting these two points is called the prime vertical. When the ecliptic intersects with the prime vertical marks the position of the Vertex in a horoscope chart. The vertex is considered to be a point of destiny.

5. The Equator is 90 degrees from both the North and South Poles, marking the planet's widest area and greatest Sun exposure. It is the only stationary circle and indicates Earth's path around the Sun. Fixed constellations divide the sky into 12 sections of 30 degrees, with the Sun spending about 30 days in each sign as Earth orbits the Sun annually. The equinoxes occur when the Sun intersects with the equator: the Spring Equinox in March and the Fall Equinox in September.
