🔭 Astronomical Data
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| Mean distance from Sun | 108.2 × 10⁶ km (0.723 AU) |
| Sidereal orbital period | 224.7 days = 0.61519726 years |
| Synodic period (Earth view) | 583.92 days |
| Sidereal rotation | -5832.5 h (retrograde rotation) |
| Orbital inclination to ecliptic | 3.4° |
| Orbital eccentricity | 0.007 |
| Axial tilt (obliquity to orbit) | 177.4° |
| Equatorial diameter | 12,104 km |
| Known moons (NASA count) | 0 |
| Mean time per sign (360°/12 of one sidereal period) | ≈ 18.7 days — geocentric speed varies; Mercury and Venus stay within 28° / 47° of the Sun, so in practice they pass a sign in ≈ 2–8 weeks |
👑 Dignity Arithmetic (classical reference)
| Dignity | Sign / degree |
|---|---|
| Domicile | Taurus, Libra |
| Exaltation (degree) | Pisces 27° |
| Detriment | Scorpio, Aries |
| Fall (degree) | Virgo 27° |
| Sect | Nocturnal |
| Planetary day | Friday |
| Chaldean order | position 5 of 7 (Saturn → Jupiter → Mars → Sun → Venus → Mercury → Moon) |
Exaltation degrees follow the Hellenistic/medieval tradition reproduced by Lilly (1647); Ptolemy (Tetrabiblos I.19) gives the exaltation signs only. Falls are the degrees exactly opposite the exaltations. Modern rulerships of the outer planets are 19th–20th-century conventions.
Retrograde rhythm: every ~19 months (one synodic period, 584 d), ~40–43 days.
🌠 Fixed-Star Positions Check
| Star | Degree stated in note | Computed J2000.0 | Computed 2026.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Algol | 26° Taurus | 26°10′ Taurus | 26°32′ Taurus |
| Alphecca | 12° Scorpio | 12°17′ Scorpio | 12°39′ Scorpio |
| Spica | 24° Libra | 23°50′ Libra | 24°12′ Libra |
Where a stated degree reads about one sign (≈ 30°) earlier than the computed tropical position, the degree number is right but the sign label has slipped; use the computed column with tropical charts. Author text above is kept unchanged.
