Planetary Tables
The astrological tables presented here are perhaps the most important part of this site.
They will enable you to assess the astrological nature of any person, place, or thing.
While they are obtained from various sources, they are personalized in my own fashion thus
making them unique to this site. I wish to especially thank astro.com(astrodienst)
in particular for making the main planet tables possible.
The Earth/Ascendant or Rising Sign
|
In Astrology the Earth is the plane upon which the heavenly bodies play out and sets up the so-called "birth chart".
It is signified or represented by the ascendant or rising sign, which is where the ecliptic or heavenly path intersects with the
eastern horizon at birth. The zodiacal sign here changes roughly every two hours -or twelve signs per day. Calculating your precise
Ascendant is a tedious mathematical process, but below is a very rough way to determine it -provided you have an accurate knowledge
of your time of birth. Consider the sign before or after your result as a possibility as well.
| If you were born between the hours of 04 and 06 am | your Ascendant is the same as your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 06 and 08 am | your Ascendant is one sign after your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 08 and 10 am | your Ascendant is two signs after your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 10 and 12 am | your Ascendant is three signs after your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 12 and 02 pm | your Ascendant is four signs after your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 02 and 04 pm | your Ascendant is five signs after your Sun sign |
The order or sequence of the signs is: Aries, Taurus, Gemeni, Cancer, Leo, Virgo,
Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces(followed by Aries again).
| If you were born between the hours of 04 and 06 pm | your Ascendant is six signs after your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 06 and 08 pm | your Ascendant is five signs before your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 08 and 10 pm | your Ascendant is four signs before your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 10 and 12 pm | your Ascendant is three signs before your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 12 and 02 am | your Ascendant is two signs before your Sun sign |
| If you were born between the hours of 02 and 04 am | your Ascendant is one sign before your Sun sign |
For a more accurate calculation of your Ascendant, a book of tables or computer program is recommended.
|
The Sky Dome or Heaven(Midheaven)
|
The Midheaven or Zenith is the Sky or Heaven, just as the Ascendant or Rising Sign is the Earth. Both halves(earthly and spiritual)
and their opposite points(Descendant and IC)are the most important elements of your chart and definers of your basic individuality. While
the Ascendant has more to do with your personal image, The MC or Midheaven has more to do with your public image. To find
your Midheaven sign click here.
More precise Midheaven positions can be obtained through a book of tables or a good computer program. Astro
123 is a very popular program(free to download).
|
The Moon
|
The Moon also requires careful calculation, as it changes signs roughly every two to three days. The Moon rules Cancer and is your
daily living planet. It is often the most obvious part of you after the Ascendant or Rising Sign and is more important than the Sun in
some countries like India. For Moon ingress dates for the years 1800 to 2155 AD Click here.
For a daily ephemeris of the Moon's position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click here.
|
The Moon's North Node
|
The Moon's plane crosses the ecliptic at two points called the nodes. The ascending intersection is called the Moon's North Node and
the descending intersection is called the Moon's South Node. Both nodes have been shown to have a particular effect on the native, especially
when aspecting a personal planet or point in the chart. Two types of node calculations are used by astrologers; the true north node and the mean
north node. The true north node takes into account the Moon's wobble and/or retrograde motion while the mean node does not and is an averaged motion.
For a daily ephemeris of the positions of the moon's north nodes for 1900 to 2030 AD click here
and here.
|
Black Moon Lilith
|
True Lilith or the Black Moon is the Moon's lunar apogee or point closest to the Earth. It is a mathematical point taking some 8 years and ten months
to complete an orbit or revolution. It was named after the original female in the Garden of Eden before Eve(some say a demoness). Astrologically it
has been associated with one's dark feminine side or sexuality as well as magic and the occult. For a daily ephemeris of Black Moon Lilith's position
for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click here.
|
2023 FW13
|
2023 FW13: Is it one of Earth's tiny moons or a ship of some kind. Astronomers aren't certain. Discovered in March of 2023, this 20
or so meter body follows the Earth closely yet at times goes halfway to Venus or Mars. It only goes through six signs of the zodiac.
For a daily ephemeris of 2023 FFW13's position for the years 1930 to 2030 AD click here.
|
The Sun
|
The Sun is the mainstay of astrological practice because of its obvious visibility and relative fixity in the signs from year to year, and having been popularized
in books and newspapers as a result. As the core of our being, the Sun holds a special place in our charts, but the other planets can be just as important. It is
helpful to know that all of us are essentially twelvefold beings, with each of the twelve main bodies reflecting this, and the Sun, our eternal spirit, leads the way.

For a daily ephemeris of the Sun's position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click here.
|
Mercury
|
Mercury is never more than 28 degrees away from the Sun, so it can only be in the same sign as your Sun, or the sign before or after it.
If you are born in the first ten days of your sign, Mercury will be either in the same sign as your sun or the sign before it. If you are
in the middle ten days of your Sun sign, Mercury will in all likelihood be in the same sign as your Sun. If you are born in the last ten
days of your Sun sign, Mercury will either be in the same sign or after. Mercury rules Gemini/Virgo and is your communication and skill
planet. For Mercury entry dates into the signs for the years 1800 to 2155 click here For a daily ephemeris
of the Mercury's position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click here.
|
Venus
|
Venus is never more than 48 degrees from the Sun, so it can only be in the same sign as your Sun or the two signs before or after it.
Venus rules Taurus(and Libra) and is your desire and relationship planet. For Venus entry dates into the signs for the years 1800 to 2155
click here. For a daily ephemeris of Venus' position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click
here.
|
Mars
|
Mars takes almost two years to make a complete orbit. It is usually in a sign for about two months except when it is in retrograde motion
wherein it can stay in a sign or 30 degree portion of the sky for six to seven months. Mars rules Aries(and Scorpio) and is your drive and
energy planet. For tables of Mars in the signs for 1800 to 2155 AD click here.
For a daily ephemeris of Mars' position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click here.
|
Mars Trojans
|
Mars has about 20 known trojans five of which are between 500 and 2500 meters wide. Like Jupiter, they are located some 60 degrees before or after
the planet. They are probably captured pieces of the exploded planet between Mars and Jupiter. For an ephemeris of these 5 trojans for the years
1900-2040 AD click here.
|
Jupiter
|
Jupiter is the first of the outermost planets taking about one year to traverse each zodiac sign and about twelve years
to make a complete orbit. Jupiter rules Sagittarius(and Pisces) and is your luck and wisdom planet. For Tables of Jupiter in the signs for the years 1800 to
2155 AD click here. For a daily ephemeris of Jupiter's position for the years 1900
to 2035 AD click here.
|
Jupiter Trojans
|
Jupiter has thousands of trojan asteroids in its orbit captured from the explosion of some planet between Mars and Jupiter. There are
two main groups, one the Greek Camp some 60 degrees ahead of the planet and another the Trojan Camp some 60 degrees behind. Less than 20 known are over
100 kilometers in size. Click here for an ephemeris of the Greek Camp and here for an ephemeris of the Trojan Camp. Positions are fore 1900-2035 AD at 10-day intervals.
|
Sigma
|
The esoteric Sigma is one of Rudhyar's three "higher moons" the oother two being Circe and Chiron. Sigma is a small planetoid with a period of
13.93 years and has an inclination of 5 degrees. It has to do with karma and endings, especially where relationships are concerned. Click here for a sign ephemeris of Sigma for the years 1906-1995 AD at 10-day intervals.
|
Jupiter-Saturn Conjunctions
|
Jupiter and Saturn come together in the sky roughly every 20 years, marking a new and significant socio-political 20-year period,
based on the sign they are in. The conjunctions are usually in the same element for a period of 200 years at a time and mark a greater period or epoch
based on that element. We are currently transiting from the earth to air epoch. For the specific periods of each Jupiter-Saturn conjunction between 1600
and 2200 AD click here.
|
Saturn
|
Saturn is the beautiful but distant ringed planet, taking an average of two and one-half years to traverse each zodiac sign,
and almost 30 years to make one complete cycle through the zodiac. Saturn rules Capricorn(and Aquarius) and is your responsibilty
and goal planet. For tables of Saturn's position in the zodiac for the years 1800 to 2155 AD click

Fourteen Planet Daily Ephemeris
|
Here is a more detailed fourteen-planet ephemeris created for astrological purposes, incorporating the main ten planets from Sun to Pluto plus four
others which many astrologers have come to accept or are seriously considering. Ceres was once accepted as a planet in the early 1800's before being demoted,
but has recently made a comeback as the only inner-asteroid dwarf planet. Chiron was discovered in 1977, and although quite small, leads the centaurs and packs
quite a wallop according to many astrologers. Eris, discovered in 2005, rivals Pluto in both size and possibly influence, and outermost Sedna may be part of
a very remote group bodies at the edge of the system. Click here for the ephemeris.
|
Sixteen Outer Planet Daily Ephemeris
|
Here is a sixteen outer planet daily ephemeris ideal for studying the major transits. It includes all of the major planets from Mars to Pluto plus the first
three discovered centaurs and some of the largest dwarf planets. These centaurs and dwarf planets are becoming increasingly important this 21st century.
Click here for the ephemeris.
|
Ten Planet Dwarf Ephemeris
|
Here is a ten dwarf planet daily ephemeris for astrological purposes. It includes the ten largest dwarf planets known(as of 2023), all over 500 miles or 800 kilometers
diameter, from Ceres to Sedna, for the years 1900 to 2035 AD. These dwarf planets are becoming increasingly important this 21st century because of the larger population
and more complex society that exists.
Click here for the ephemeris.
|
Planet Nodes
|
Every planet has nodes or ecliptic crossing points where its particular zodiac is established. A planet's North Node is always the 0 Aries point and
its south node usually 0 Libra. Nodal astrology is a relatively new and fascinating subject in astrology unlocking our multidimensional soul and past.
For tables of the North and South Nodes of the ten major planets plus Chiron and Eris for the years 1900 to 2049 AD click here.
|
Other Notable Objects
There are other notable objects besides the main planets and angles which astrologers often incorporate into their interpretations of people and events,
notably such asteroids as Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, the centaur Chiron, and dwarf planets like Eris, Haumea, Makemake and others. There are also the
brightest stars, such as Sirius and Canopus as well as famous comets such as Halley and Hale-Bopp. Finally, there is the Galactic center. It's fun to study
these extra bodies in the chart as they may add refinement to the understanding of charts and events. Below are some of the most popular bodies and their
tables or ephemeris positions.
Ceres
|
Ceres, discovered in 1801, is the largest and most visible member of the asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter. Through a telescope it appears round or planet-like
in appearance. In astrology, Ceres is the grain godess and the nurturing or mother aspect in all of us. For tables of Ceres' sign positions for the years 1900 to 2025 AD
click here. For a daily ephemeris of Ceres' position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click
here.
|
Hygiea
|
Hygiea, discovered in 1849, is the fourth largest member of the asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter. recent observations(2019) show it to be roundish or
moon-like in appearance. In mythology, Hygiea is the godess of health and hygiene and has the same significance in astrology. For tables of Hygiea's daily
positions for the years 1850 to 2050 AD click here.
|
The Asteroids
|
Riding along with Ceres between Mars and Jupiter are billions if not trillions of objects which astronomers believe may have once been a planet which exploded or was
shattered into bits by some other object. Others believe the asteroids are actual entities or beings(fallen angels or demons) or their abodes. Three of the largest
discovered soon after Ceres are Pallas Juno and Vesta. For tables of the twelve largest asteroids for the years 1900 to 2030 AD click here
. For other popular or special asteroids(1930-2030 AD) click here. For an alphabetical list
of individual asteroids click here.
|
Eros and Psyche
|
433 Eros is a small near-Earth object orbiting between Earth and Mars while Psyche is a large main belt asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Eros and Psyche
have a special relationship in myth and astrology. Eros fell in love with the very beautiful Psyche and both had a passionate affair with one another before getting
married. They had a deep soul connection and you will too if your psyche or eros matches up with someone else's eros or psyche. For side by side tables
of these two asteroids click here.
|
Chiron
|
Chiron, discovered in 1977, is the first and most notable member of the centaurs located roughly between Saturn and Uranus with an orbital period of 51 years. In astrology,
Chiron was the great teacher and healer who could not heal himself. He represents gifts or talents we have to benefit others and the world despite having to deal with
some serious deformity or disability in our life. For tables of Chiron's sign positions for the years 1900 to 2033 AD click here
. For a daily ephemeris of Ceres' position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click here.
|
The Centaurs
|
A new class of solar system objects were discovered beginning in 1977 called the centaurs which hug the orbits of two or more planets(usually the outer ones)
at a time. Although Hidalgo was the first real centaur discovered in 1920, it wasn't until 1977 and later when Chiron and others were discovered that the term
centaur came to be. Centaurs are the extreme, animalistic, or unruly parts of us but also give us great clarity, strength, skill, and wisdom. For tables of the
centaurs for the years 1900 to 2030 AD click here and here
and here
|
Eris
|
Eris, discovered in 2005 and originally named Xena, is the first sizable planet after Pluto(similar in size) but twice as far out with an orbital period of
557 years. Eris is the discordant troublemaker who was not invited to the party of the gods. In the chart it describes where we make ourselves seen and heard despite
attempts to ignore us. Eris demands justice, equality, and recognition and may be associated with the sign Libra. For tables of Eris' sign positions for the years
1800 to 2155 AD click here. For a daily ephemeris of Eris' position for the years 1900 to 2035 AD click

The Transneptunians
|
Until better telescopes were developed, the faintest and most distant objects of our skies remained largely unknown. This changed in 1992 when 1992QB1 became the first known
object to be discovered outside the orbit of Pluto. A bunch of other small objects affectionately called the "dwarfs" or "plutinos" and now generally known as the "transneptunians"
have been discovered since then. These objects break the boundaries of our existence causing us to grow and expand ever outwards. Eris, similar in size to Pluto, was the first major
dwarf planet announced in 2005. Since then, Pluto has also been classified as a dwarf, or more precisely -as the king of the dwarfs.
