Absolute Longitude
The degrees of the ecliptic where a planet might be placed according to its sign placement. A Planet at 15 degrees Aries is at 15 degrees Absolute Longitude whereas one at 15 degrees Libra is at 195 degrees Absolute Longitude (Libra being placed at 180 degrees).
Accidental Dignity
When a planet is so placed in the chart that by its house position or relationship with other planets is strengthened.
Ages
(e.g. of Aquarius) Time taken for the Vernal Point to move backwards through one sidereal constellation - approx 2,150 years.
Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
Altitude
The measurement of a planet in degrees and minutes from the horizon up towards the zenith. It is the planet's angular distance from the horizon measured vertically.
Angle Houses
First, Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth.
Antivertex
Intersection of the Prime Vertical with the ecliptic in the east.
Apogee (apo - away Gaia - Earth)
The point in the Moon's orbit that is most distant from the Earth also used when a planet is most distant from the earth.
Apparent Horizon
A plane tangent to earth from a specific location - what we actually see as horizon dividing earth and sky and depending on elevation of the location above seas level.
Apparent Motion
Motion observed from a geocentric position. Motion relative to the earth as if the earth were stationary.
Apparent Solar Time
Measured by the Sun 's apparent motion around the earth. "Sundial Time" or the observable rising of the Sun one day and again the next day.
