Galactic and Super Galactic Coordinates in Astrology

[glaucus]

I found a site that allows you convert coordinates into galactic coordinates.


The galactic coordinate system locates objects within the Milky Way galaxy by ‘latitude’ and ‘longitude’ in a similar manner to Right Ascension and Declination in the equatorial coordinate system. The current definition of the galactic coordinate system was finalised by the IAU in 1959.



The galactic plane, or galactic equator, is similar to the celestial equator of the equatorial coordinate system. It is the great circle of the celestial sphere made by the plane of the disk of our Galaxy.


The system defines a sphere enclosing the galaxy, with the Sun at its centre, onto which galactic latitude (b) and longitude (l) are projected. Galactic latitude ranges from -90° to +90° (below and above the galactic plane respectively), and galactic longitude ranges from 0° to 360°. The galactic longitude l of an object is the angular distance around the Galactic equator from the Galactic centre at l = 0⁰ (towards the constellation Sagittarius) to the object. As for right ascension in the equatorial coordinate system, galactic longitude increases counter-clockwise as viewed looking down from the north galactic pole.



The galactic north pole is at RA = 12h 51.4m, Dec = +27⁰ 07’ (2000.0), the galactic centre at RA = 17h 45.6m, Dec = -28⁰ 56’ (2000.0). The inclination of the galactic equator to Earth’s equator is 63⁰.

I converted my Right Ascension,Declination Coordinates for my luminaries,planets,and angles as well as dwarf planet Ceres and the named transneptunian dwarf planet/candidates


I also converted the galactic longitude into zodiac longitude equivalent

0'01 longitude = 0'01 Aries


With the Galactic Coordinates, I have some different aspects.


the one that really got me is:


I have  Galactic Coordinates

Sun in 1'44 Pisces
Eris in 1'20 Virgo

so I have Sun oppose Eris with 24 minutes of arc in my Galactic Chart!


I have a Galactic Coordinates

Mercury in 11'42 Pisces
Sedna in 11'38 Virgo

so I have Mercury oppose Sedna with only 4 minutes of arc in my Galactic Chart!

Talk about far out thinking!!!

Wow!

In my Galactic Astrological Nativity with Zodiac Equivalent:

Sun in 1'44 Pisces
Quaoar in 2'00 Pisces
Eris in 1'20 Virgo
Varuna in 2'05 Libra

3 transneptunian dwarf planet/candidates in aspect to my Sun


Moon in 23'12 Taurus
Saturn in 25'35 Virgo
Neptune in 23'10 Pisces
2002 MS4 in 21'04 Pisces

it's different from my Moon-Saturn-Neptune T-Square in my Ecliptic Longitude Chart.
2002 MS4 is a transneptunian dwarf planet candidate, and it's the 2nd largest solar system object without a name.


Mercury in 11'42 Pisces
Varda in 10'53 Pisces
Sedna in 11'38 Virgo
Mars in 10'29 Taurus
Pluto in 11'14 Capricorn

Kite that involves 3 transneptunian dwarf planet/candidates in aspect to my Mercury


I also checked out galactic coordinates of fixed stars


Descendant in 6'08 Gemini
Alpha Lyra Vega in 7'27 Gemini

Imum Coeli in 27'00 Pisces
Alpha Sagittarius Rukbat in 27'43 Pisces
6M Scorpius Aculeus in 26'35 Pisces
7M Scorpius Acumen in 25'52 Pisces

Aculeus and Acumen are Nebula in The Scorpion's Sting, and they are in the list of Bernadette Brady's 64 Mythologically Bright stars that she works with.


Galactic Center in 21'46 Taurus
Moon in 23'12 Taurus

I also checked Super Galactic Coordinates.


The supergalactic coordinate system is a convenient reference system used to locate distant galaxies, galaxy clusters and superclusters.



The supergalactic coordinate system was developed by Gérard de Vaucouleurs. The coordinate system has its equator aligned with the supergalactic plane, a major structure in the local universe formed by the preferential planar-like distribution of nearby galaxy clusters.



The supergalactic plane is roughly perpendicular the galactic plane of the Milky Way. Supergalactic longitude (SGL) is defined as 0⁰ where this supergalactic plane intersects the galactic plane. Because the supergalactic coordinate system is based on the supergalactic plane as observed from the Earth, it passes through the Earth. Objects on this supergalactic plane have a supergalactic latitude (SGB) of 0⁰.



The north supergalactic pole NSP (with SGB=90⁰) lies at Galactic coordinates l = 47.37⁰, b =+6.32⁰. The zero point (SGB=0⁰, SGL=0⁰) lies at l=137.37⁰, b=0⁰.



Supergalactic cartesian coordinates (SGX, SGY, SGZ) are also frequently used. In this system the supergalactic z-axis points towards the NSP, the supergalactic x-axis points towards the origin and the supergalactic y-axis is perpendicular to the both.

My Super Galactic Longitude Aspects:


Sun in 15'17 Leo
Orcus in 14'59 Taurus


Moon in 4'35 Capricorn
Neptune in 4'07 Virgo
Sedna in 4'01 Aquarius

Varda in 4'48 Leo


MC/IC in 24'36 Pisces/Virgo
Mars in 24'22 Sagittarius


Mercury in 25'20 Leo
Haumea in 26'13 Leo


I am not as transneptunian as I am in Galactic Longitude.
I have another Moon-Neptune within 1/2 degree orb. 
It's another soft aspect.
I have Moon sextile Neptune in Galactic Longitude and Moon trine Neptune in Super Galactic Longitude.


I haven't checked the stars yet

I am going to finish up my list of Super Galactic stars coordination positions and then I will look up the Super Galactic star coordinate positions. 

I will post an actual list of Galactic and Super Galactic star positions up, but it will be 1971 Epoch. 
I am looking at the positions when I was born.

glaucus , I'v only heard of the Super Galactic Centre so far. How does that relate to what you've written above?

For what it's worth - I have these on/around the SGC - Philip Sedgwick said it was at 2.03 Libra (http://www.philipsedgwick.com/Galactic/ZS.htm).

Bella 1.41 Libra
Eos 2.2 (dawn)
Spirit 2.23
Cupido (h40) 2.32
Nefertiti 2.47

I don't understand your question.
I was posting about Galactic Coordinates and Super Galactic Coordinates.
I thought I gave a good explanation about what the Galactic Coordinates and Super Galactic Coordinates are.

The Galactic Coordinates and Super Galactic Coordinates are coordinates based off using the Galactic Center and Super Galactic Center as reference planes.

I am very familiar with Philip Sedgwick's stuff. 
He's actually been my favorite astrologer, and I had a heliocentric astrological consultation with him back in the end of 2011.
I got his Galactic Trilogy DVD back in 2007.
I got his Galastro Solar Fire-add on, but I lost it. 

His use of transneptunian objects is what got me very interested in his work.
I have some interest in Astrology of Deep Space. 

here is his article on Galactic Center
www.philipsedgwick.com/Galactic/GalacticCtr.htm



I looked up all the Super Galactic Coordinates of the stars and other space objects

My aspects.

I was telling Tameem that maybe Galactic and Super Galactic coordinates could really give more insight into starseeds.

I also believe the same with Right Ascension (Equatorial Longitude) which is the coordinate that astronomers regularly use along with Declination (Equatorial Latitude). They are referred to as the Celestial Coordinates, and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Constellations are based off those coordinates.
Western Sidereal Astrologer Kenneth Bowser observes aspects in Declination and Right Ascension. 
I posted the celestial pictures of  star alignments from Prometheus astrology program to give a good picture of what objects in the Equatorial coordinates look like.

I am waiting for a book, The Stars: How And Where They Influence by L. Edward Johndro. He went over fixed star conjunctions in both Ecliptic Longitude and Right Ascension.

I also posted about the Azimuth, and I find that to be very interesting. It's very important in Michael Erlewine's Local Space Astrology. 
The Prime Vertical Chart is the Mundane Chart used by Western Sidereal Astrologers.


I found an astrological article about Galactic Center and Super Galactic Center


I found the following interesting:


Whilst the Galactic Centre influences are individual Soul Evolutionary Purpose, the Super Galactic Centre represents the greater potential of our Higher Collective Consciousness – the Collective Evolutionary Purpose of our Galaxy & Local Group.
www.universallifetools.com/2017/12/human-brain-galactic-star-map/


Seeing how some astrologers use Heliocentric to Geocentric comparisons.
I don't see how we can't use any of the aforementioned coordinates to compare with the Ecliptic Longitude coordinates. 
We see something similar with comparing Draconic Zodiac to Tropical Zodiac. 

[glaucus]

In Ecliptic Longitude, I have no conjunctions to the Galactic Center.

conjunctions in regards to Super Galactic Center


Super Galactic Center in 1'16 Libra
conjunct Pluto in 0'51 Libra
conjunct Hokule'a in 0'53 Libra - Arcturus
conjunct Hermia in 0'30 Libra - Hermes, Greek messenger of the gods and guide to the underworld
cpnjunct Child in 0'39 Libra - Child
conjunct Kepler in 0'28 Libra - named after the astronomer/astrologer, Johannes Kepler who is best known for his laws of planetary motion, and there is also Kepler Astrology software that I have used.  I use the more advanced version of Kepler, Sirius now.


After finding out that I have an Ascendant-Arcturus-Super Galactic Center conjunction in Ecliptic Longitude, Pluto-Hokulea conjunction is more interesting to me now.

glaucus , thanks for the above. I was really revealing my own jgnorance when asking how the SGC relates to your explanations:

"The galactic coordinate system locates objects within the Milky Way galaxy by ‘latitude’ and ‘longitude’ in a similar manner to Right Ascension and Declination in the equatorial coordinate system. The current definition of the galactic coordinate system was finalised by the IAU in 1959. "

and then:

"The supergalactic coordinate system was developed by Gérard de Vaucouleurs. The coordinate system has its equator aligned with the supergalactic plane, a major structure in the local universe formed by the preferential planar-like distribution of nearby galaxy clusters."

I think I need a diagram to understand the differences between the galactic co-ordinates and the equatorial co-ordinate system. Many questions arise as I try to catch up with many new terms;

What are these - local universe, supergalactic plane, equators for different systems

Why are different systems needed for deep space? Is it because the distances between spaces is so great that new points of reference are required?

"Why are different systems needed for deep space? Is it because the distances between spaces is so great that new points of reference are required? '

I think you nailed it.
