Day. The interval of time between two
successive passages of a star over the meridian is a Sidereal day 23h, 56m of
mean solar time). The interval between two successive passages of the Sun's
center over the same meridian is a solar day (24 hours); of the Moon's center a
lunar day (24h, 50m). In old astrological texts the Lunar Day refers to the day
of the Full Moon. Because of the Earth's motion in orbit the mean solar day is
4 minutes longer than the sidereal day and because of the Moon's daily motion in
orbit the lunar day is 50 minutes longer than the solar day. The term natural
day is a misnomer, loosely applied to the 24-hour period of the Earth's
rotation. The mean solar day becomes the civil day when reckoned from the hour
affixed by law. In most countries this is from midnight to midnight. With the
Hindus and Babylonians it was from sunrise to sunrise; with the Athenians and
Jews from sunset to sunset; with the ancient Egyptians and Romans at
Army and Navy time during recent
years has been largely superceded by numbering the hours straight through from
0h at midnight to 24h of the next midnight; which also is 0h of the next day.

Loosely speaking, a day is the
period of light between sunrise and sunset, the period of daylight or sunshine.
In the
In astrological parlance a Day
Horoscope is one cast for a birth moment in which the Sun was above the
horizon, hence in one of the Houses numbered from 7 to 12; a Night Horoscope
one in which the Sun is below the horizon, in a House numbered between 1 and 6.

Day of Week, to determine v. Dominical Letter.
Daylight Saving Time. v. Time, Daylight-saving.
Day Triplicity. Older authorities deemed that in
the daytime some planets are stronger when posited in Signs of a certain
element; i.e. Saturn in an Air-Sign, the Sun in a Fire Sign, Mars in a Water
Sign, and Venus in an Earth Sign.
Debility. An embracive term, preferably
applied to any planet disadvantageously placed by virtue of its House position,
but frequently employed loosely as a synonym of Detriment.
Decade. Ten consecutive years; any
grouping of ten.
Decanate, Decan. A term applied to a subdivision of Sign into 10° arcs, referred
to as the first, second and third decanates or decans. The interpretation of
Decans is based upon a system of rulerships, of which there are two in common
use. One method ascribed Mars to the first Decan of Aries and thence carried a
fixed series throughout the 36 Decans, ending again with Mars ruling the third
Decan of Pisces. The series is Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn,
Jupiter; as follows:
..............First
Decan..Second Decan..Third Decan
...Aries........
Mars ........ Sun ....... Venus
...Taurus.......
Mercury ..... Moon ...... Saturn
...Gemini.......
Jupiter ..... Mars ...... Sun
...Cancer.......
Venus ....... Mercury ... Moon
...Leo..........
Saturn ...... Jupiter ... Mars
...Virgo........
Sun ......... Venus ..... Mercury
...Libra........
Moon ........ Saturn .... Jupiter
...Scorpio......
Mars ........ Sun ....... Venus
...Sagittarius..
Mercury ..... Moon ...... Saturn
...Capricorn....
Jupiter ..... Mars ...... Sun
...Aquarius.....
Venus ....... Mercury ... Moon
...Pisces.......
Saturn ...... Jupiter ... Mars
The other method employs the Ruler of
the Sign as specifically the Ruler of the First Decan, with the Second and
Third Decans associated with the Rulers of the other two Signs of the same
triplicity. Thus the First or Aries Decan of Aries is ruled by Mars; the Second
or Leo Decan, by the Sun; and the Third or Sagittarian Decan, by Jupiter. This
gives this series:-
....................1.............2...........3
...Aries..........Mars..........Sun.........Jupiter
...Taurus.........Venus.........Mercury.....Saturn
and so on.
Decatom: a Dichotome (q.v.).
Decile: v. Quintile.
Declination. The manner of indicating distance
N. or S. of the Celestial Equator. The maximum possible declination of the Sun
is 23° 28' which occurs at the Solstices, when the Sun passes the Tropics (0°)
of Cancer and Capricorn, the limit of the pole's greatest inclination from the
plane of the Earth's orbit. The first degrees of Aries and Libra have no declination,
since at these points the ecliptic intersects the equator. However, planets at
this longitude may have declination. (v. Celestial Sphere.)
The declination of a body whose
longitude and latitude are known is found by this formula:
1. Radius (10,000): Tangent of
Ecliptic (23° 27'):: sine of longitudinal distance from equinox: tangent of
Angle A.
2. Cosine of Angle A: cosine
(latitude plus/minus 90°- minus Angle A):: cosine of Ecliptic Obliquity (23°
27'): sine of the Declination. (In this equation the latitude is taken from go,
if the latitude and longitude are of different denomination; but when of the
same denomination they are added, and from this sum Angle A is subtracted.)
The Moon, Mercury, Mars reach a
declination of 27° north, and on rare occasions Venus reaches 28°. Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have practically the same declination as the Sun.
Decreasing or Increasing in
Light. From the
New to the Full Moon the Moon is increasing in light, and from the Full to the
next lunation it is decreasing in light. In a Figure measured from the Sun
position, if the Moon is less than 180° counterclockwise from the Sun it was
waxing, or increasing in light; if less than 180° clockwise from the Sun it was
waning or decreasing in light. Although generally applied to the Moon, it is
also applicable to any planet when passing from an opposition to a conjunction
with the Sun. It usually occurs when approaching the Sun in the order of the
signs; but Mercury and Venus, after they have reached their greatest elongation
East or West and are retrograding toward the Sun, decrease in light against the
order of the signs. It is generally accepted as weakening the planet's
influence.
Decumbiture. Literally, a "lying
down." A horary figure erected for the moment when a person is taken ill,
wherefrom to judge as to the possible nature, prognosis and duration of the
illness.
Deductive Type. Referring to a certain quality
or habit of mind that characterizes those born when the Sun was in a Mutable
sign: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces. v. Signs.
Deferent. In Ptolemaic astronomy, an
imaginary orbit pursued by a celestial body, around which another body moved in
an epicycle (q.v.). A deferent was employed in conditions wherein the
natural motion of the body was not involved. The term reflects the fact that
Ptolemy was ignorant of the Earth's motion.
Degree. One 360th part of the circumference of a circle. The rough
measure of an angle of one degree is the apparent diameter of a dime held at
arm's length from the eye. The apparent diameter of the Sun and Moon is about
0.5°. The longest dimension of the bowl of the Big Dipper is about 10°. A
degree is divided into 60 equal parts called minutes of arc. The length of a
degree of latitude on the Earth's surface increases from 68.71 miles at the
equator to 69.41 miles at 90°. The length of a degree of longitude on the
Earth's surface varies from 69.65 miles at the Equator to 53.43 at 40°. Degrees
are equally applicable to the Zodiac or the Ecliptic. As a time unit it is applicable
to the Equator thus:
Degrees of Arc......Hours and minutes of time
......360°...............24 h.
.......30° (1 Sign).......2 h.
.......15°................1 h.
........1° (60')..........4 m.
........1' (60")..........4 s.
Degree Rising. The degree of the zodiacal Sign posited on the Ascendant (q.v.), or
cusp of the First House at birth, and generally considered the most important
in the Nativity. The rising degree is based upon the exact moment of birth, or
of the event for which the Figure is cast, and the correct geographical
latitude and longitude. Should either factor be unknown the Figure is usually
cast for sunrise, which places the Sun's degree upon the horizon, resulting in
what is termed a Solar Figure. As it is based only on the Earth's apparent
motion around the Sun some authorities term it a Heliard Figure.
Degrees, Individual. Several works, symbolical, speculative and statistical, treat of
influences presumed to repose in certain individual degrees. Maurice Wemyss in
the four volumes of his "Wheel of Life" even introduces some
hypothetical and as yet undiscovered planets to account for certain qualities
and effects. It is probable that many of the qualities ascribed to individual
degrees have to do with sensitive points created by Eclipses, major
conjunctions, or a close conjunction in both longitude and latitude between a
solar system body and a fixed star, which points are accented by the transit of
another planet at a later date. For ready reference a list of such points is
arranged in a zodiacal sequence, which includes: (1) the degrees created by
important stars, nebulae and clusters; (2) the planets' Nodes; (3) the points
of the planets' Exaltation and Fall; (4) the major planetary conjunctions from
1940 to 1946 inclusive; to which others can be added at will from the
Ephemerides; (5) Solar Eclipses, from 1940 to 1946, inclusive; and (6) such
other degrees which from experience appear to exert a decisive influence.
Individual Degree Tables (in following
articles)
The stars listed in these tables of
Individual Degrees are located as of 1925. To adjust them to other dates add 5O
1/3" of longitude for each year later, or subtract for each year earlier. (Apolo's Note: for 2003,
78 years later, this gives an addition to make of 65.4333', ie
1º5', or approx. 1.1º.)
The ancients ascribed names to the
various stars, and many of these names are still in use. In 16O3 Bayer devised
a more scientific system whereby the stars in a constellation are known by the
name of the constellation to which they belong, the individual stars within the
constellation known by Greek letter prefixes, according to size, beginning with
the largest as Alpha, and continuing downward to Omega. The system is still in
use, except for the telescopic stars, of which a million have been classified,
and these are identified by a catalogue number.
The sequence of the data on the Fixed
Stars, supplied in the following lists, is as follows:
Longitude, Latitude (magnitude) (where specified - for
the fixed stars etc.), popular name, astronomical designation,
description (Nature
according to Ptolemy - with additions by Alvidas - and others) and
its astrological significance.
The interpretations given are mostly
from ancient authorities, who apparently were inclined to place undue stress
upon the direful.
