Conjunct,Oppose in Right Ascension in Connection to Parans

[glaucus]

Conjunction, Opposition in Right Ascension have a connection to Parans which are the phenomena of two or more objects on angles at the same.


Astrologers focus on mainly Ecliptic Longitude which is where the astrological zodiacs occur, but it is Right Ascension (Equatorial Longitude) that astronomers use to locate and track celestial objects. It is Right Ascension and Declination (Equatorial Latitude) that the International Astronomical Union (IAU) constellations (including the zodiac constellations) are based on.

Right Ascension is usually measured in hours, but it can also be measured in degrees. In Astrological programs like Solar Fire, the Right Ascension listings of objects are listed in degrees.


When two objects are in conjunction in Right Ascension, they co-culminate and co-anticulminate for two parans during the day.


When two objects are in opposition in Right Ascension, one culminates while the other anti-culminates for two parans during the day.


Conjunctions and Oppositions in Right Ascension are actual celestial aspects, but they are not parans. They have corresponding meridian parans for the particular time of day and the particular place on Earth. Right Ascension conjunction and oppositions occur everywhere on Earth. The culminating and anticulminating parans depends on the time and location.

Parans are part of Visual Astrology which is what Bernadette Brady practices.

Conjunction

The coincidence in right ascension of two celestial bodies (one of which is often the Sun). For example, when a planet is at the same right ascension as the Sun, it is said to be in conjunction. Note that the projected positions of the bodies (e.g., sun and planet) need not actually lie on top of each other (they do not necessarily occult) since they may lie at different declinations. The term conjunction is also used more generally to mean a configuration in which two bodies have their least separation. scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/Conjunction.html


Opposition

The positioning of two celestial bodies relative to a third (usually the Sun, Earth, and a third celestial body) such that they are 180° apart in right ascension. Note that the bodies need not actually lie on a straight line since they may lie at different declinations. scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/Opposition.html

174567 Varda is a transneptunian object. It is highly likely to be a dwarf planet. It has a satellite, Ilmarë. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 39.6–52.5 AU once every 312 years and 6 months.


It was named for Varda, an elf goddess from J.R.R. Tolkein's mythology. According to the Tolkien Gateway, "Varda Elentári, known in Sindarin as Elbereth Gilthoniel, was a Valië, the wife of Manwë (the name given another outer body) and a queen of the Valar. Elves love and revere her most of all the Valar, and they call upon her in their hours of deepest darkness." "Varda is said to be too beautiful for words." Her name means "sublime" or "lofty". "Varda created the stars with the dews from the vats of Telperion, the first of the Two Trees."

90377 Sedna is a large minor planet in the outer reaches of the Solar System. It is most likely a dwarf planet. Sedna has an exceptionally long and elongated orbit, taking approximately 11,400 years to complete and a distant point of closest approach to the Sun at 76 AU. The Minor Planet Center currently places Sedna in the scattered disc, a group of objects sent into highly elongated orbits by the gravitational influence of Neptune. However, this classification has been contested, because Sedna never comes close enough to Neptune to have been scattered by it, leading some astronomers to conclude that it is in fact the first known member of the inner Oort Cloud.


It was named in honor of Sedna, the Inuit Goddess of the Sea and Ruler of the Underworld Adlivun, who is thought to live at the bottom of the frigid Arctic Ocean.
